While
travelling by car, my own, at about 11:00
p.m., near a small community called 100 Mile
House on the Cariboo Road, in British
Columbia, I observed on my left through a
roadside fringe of jack pines, an object
shaped like a rifle cartridge faintly
illuminated of a reddish color or glow. It was
at what appeared about a thousand feet high
visible through the tops of the trees which
were about 100 feet tall. There was a luminous
glow from the rear of the object with
occasional sparks or flashes. It was traveling
very fast because before I could stop the car
(Mercedes Benz diesel 180D) it had disappeared
to my right front. The same object was seen
about the same time at Sicamous on the C.P.R.
about 150 miles N.E. by my son and others of a
survey party who were making a stellar
observation by transit in Polaris [Editor's
Note: a very awkward sentence. I
believe that the survey party saw an object
transit across the star Polaris].
Their observation of the object was reported
but mine was not except to some of my party. I
was the resident engineer in charge of a road
construction project at that time.
The object was definitely not an aeroplane and
showed none of the regulation flashing red and
green flying lights. There were no flying
surfaces or aerofoils either vertical or
horizontal. It was very clear and not so far
away as to be in any way vague.
