In late
September, 1956, Leonard Woods decided to go
to a neighbor’s place after supper and pick
their apples for them. He started at 6:30 p.m.
and finished at 7, carried apples into the
house and went out again to look at the trees
on the horizon. He immediately saw an
enormous, glowing saucer-like shape in the
southwest sky, fairly low down, extremely
large in size (at Langley, B.C.)
It arced up to mid zenith. It was an orb and
glowing by its own light. Reddish-tinged with
a yellow tinge, trailing out behind was a
bridal train of light for some distance.
He called the lady of the house and she
witnessed it too. Her husband was called and
then the object was in a northeast zenith. The
trail foreshortened and vanished from sight
very fast. The sighting lasted two minutes.
Two planes took off from the nearby airfield
and were infinitesimally small compared to the
object. (Credit: Herb Clark, Vancouver, B.C.
