Flying Saucer Again Sighted

Oliver, B.C. - October 24, 1959

Oliver Chronicle, Vol. 23, No. 10, October 29, 1959


Oliver is getting full attention from the "people" who drive those flying saucers.

The latest report of a sighting comes from Mrs. Mabel Ferguson, who reports she saw a "saucer" appear in the East, divide into two parts which immediately united again, and then proceeded southwards.

The phenomenon happened early last Saturday morning. (24 Oct, 1959)

Several weeks earlier, Dick Lloyd, who lives in the Acre Lots area, said he was working in his garden shortly before noon when his attention was drawn to a humming sound. He saw a circular or oval shaped whitish object moving across the sky at high speed.

Several other residents, including Mrs. J.H. Johnston, confirmed the same appearance.

Mrs. Ferguson, Mr. Lloyd and Mrs. Johnston all hesitated to report their experience for fear of ridicule, but all are certain the "saucer" appeared.

Mrs. Ferguson was laying awake about 2 a.m. Saturday morning when she saw a bright object to the east which "looked like the sun was shining" and which seemed to divide in two, then unite again.

She said it didn't appear too large and may have been only a few hundred feet away, but that it was very bright, almost like aluminum foil reflecting light.

Mrs. Ferguson first thought it to be a falling star but when it stood stationary, divided, united again and then "took off like a rocket" she knew it couldn't be.
