Keremeos – A three-man search
party yesterday failed to find any clue to a
mysterious object which was seen on Daly
Mountain, northeast of Keremeos, Thursday
night.
The object, sighted by Alf
Boult of Keremeos at 8:06 pm Thursday,
seemed to be a flare-type light which burst
from its container near Daly Mountain,
settling into a long oval shape which
rapidly descended and dropped behind a
ridge.
Mr. Boult, an RCMP officer
from Keremeos and a third man climbed to the
vicinity yesterday, but were unable to find
any trace of the object. However the search
was hampered by poor visibility and another
search may be made later when the weather
has improved.
As soon as the object had
been reported, checks were made with air
traffic control headquarters establishing
that no aircraft of any type were missing.
