ASK THE WEATHERMAN
C. E. B.,
Vancouver. Re your request for people to write
who believe they have seen a flying saucer.
One clear
sunny summer day, fourteen years ago, (I
remember the number of years because my
daughter was four at the time and is eighteen
now, actually fifteen years ago I guess as she
will be nineteen in August). I was with my
mother in the kitchen of our house when I
heard my daughter cry for me to come quickly.
I ran and got there just in time to see this
object speeding through the cloudless sky. By
the time my mother got out it was gone over
the mountains. It was travelling from south to
north and the most remarkable thing was the
speed of it — I have forgotten the exact shape
but it seemed to be white with a darker
quarter-moon shape at the bottom.
About this
time the radio had started giving money to
people who reported a newsworthy item so I
phoned the station in New Westminster and the
chap laughed and mentioned about it being a
hot day but I kept serious and insisted I saw
it but he would not pay me any money and
referred me to the Weather Bureau, saying that
they might have weather balloons up – so I
phoned them but they didn't. Anyway the
fantastic speed was like nothing I had ever
seen before.
