A similar incident occurred in Fernie
one day last week (August 1957) when Percy
Starr accompanied by his son Duane, and Ed
Gotzy sighted an identical object crossing the
valley beyond Hosmer. Mr. Starr said he at
first thought that what he saw was a large
butterfly outside the car window but suddenly
realized that it was a large object in the air
some miles distant. The three watched the
object disappear behind Hosmer Mountain and
reappear seconds later to the west of the
mountain where it hovered for several seconds
before rising directly upwards at terrific
speed and disappearing from view. The
phenomenon as described by those who witnessed
it was identical both as to appearance and
action to the objects observed last year,
which are now admitted by scientists and
governments to be more than mere figments of
imagination.
