"The latest strange object
report comes from the first officer aboard the
Chinoik, the Seattle-to-Victoria car ferry,
and is vouched for by the quartermaster and
lookout.
"This week they saw a
bright light in the sky moving towards
Victoria at about 2,000 feet.
"It was moving from side
to side and up and down much too sharply to be
a plane, ' the officer said.
"The latest 'object' was
too 'erratic to follow with binoculars and it
was too dark to see any shape. '
"It came within a mile of
the ship and then spiralled swiftly upwards
through the overcast.
