On Dec. 4, 1964, an unknown flying object with
four equally spaced yellow lights was sighted
over British Columbia by Forest Ranger Ronald M.
Hawkins and a companion, V.G. Bate.
At first Hawkins and Bate thought
the lights could be coming from the cabin of a
low-flying aircraft, but when they got out of
their car they could hear no sound. The UFO
traveled approximately the speed of a DC-6
airliner. The lights were “perfectly round,
equally spaced, and pale yellow in colour.”
When first observed, the object
was about one-fourth of a mile away, at which
time it was measured as the size of a dime held
at arm’s length. After a few moments, the UFO
disappeared behind a cloud.
The sighting occurred between
Burns Lake and Smithers, B.C. When the witnesses
arrived at Smithers, they checked with the
airport and learned that no aircraft were
reported in the vicinity.
