A Duncan man who reported an
‘explosion in the skies’ over Crofton on the
night of Sept. 26, now believes it was a
collision of two space ships.
With the sighting here last
Wednesday night of ‘flying saucers’ by 11
district residents, Vernon Stanley-Jones of
Richards Trail is firmly convinced the
explosion he saw was definitely a crash of
two ships from outer space.
Mr. Stanley-Jones and his son
Chris, 14, were driving up Lakes Road when
they saw “a bright red flash and glow in the
sky over Richards Mountain toward Crofton.”
Mr. Stanley-Jones said he first thought the
Crofton pulp mill had exploded.
“It was fire red, so I knew
it wasn’t lightning,” he said.
The RCMP were unable to trace
any fires or explosions in the area.
Flying objects seen here last
Wednesday night, he now believes, were space
ships searching for the wreckage of the two
craft he believes collided over Crofton four
nights earlier. “After all, if any of our
aircraft go down, don’t we send our planes
and ships to search for survivors and
wreckage?” he asked.
Mr. Stanley-Jones who has
done considerable research on UFOs said he
believes “there is something out there we
don’t know about. We aren’t the only people
in the universe. There are millions of
worlds. Why should we be the only ones?
These objects have been reported for years
all over the world.”
He said he saw more flying
saucers himself, two years ago, when he was
one of the passengers on a YCA plane that
reported “flying saucers” buzzing the plane.
He has also sighted them on other occasions.
