Mr. J. H. Kacer, River Road,
East Richmond, BC, in second week of May,
from Aluminum Plant where he is a night
watchman – went out of main building to
check a steam boiler in another building;
(approx. 5:00 am) partial overcast; observed
east side of building to be illuminated –
then his attention was drawn to large
ellipsoid motionless about 1/3 mile SE of
ALCAN buildings at about 1000 ft.
Reddish-pink glow below, upper part dark,
the glow was “quivering” as an arc welder.
Kacer had time to call another man who saw
it before it disappeared into the overcast.
Cabin above circular airfoil showed markings
of ports. About 5 minutes later returning
from second building, the object was again
seen hovering; after a few seconds it took
off and circled the main masts of CKWX to
the south of ALCAN Plant, then took off to
East at amazing speed.
There is a large open area
south of the buildings probably a mile by
2/3 mile running east and west with only a
deserted farm, also a power line running
through it. Incident reported to RCAF. Mr.
Kacer was later called on by two men in
plain clothes, one from Ottawa and the other
identified himself as a Lt. Colonel, USA –
first was non-committal but the American
reported to have opined – “We hope they are
extra-terrestrial and not from…..”
