Lake Arkell UFO

Lake Arkell, BC - September 18, 1964

Whitehorse Yukon Star, Vol. 64 No. 95. Monday Dec 7, 1964


This photograph of an unidentified flying object was taken by Keith Brammer, Whitehorse, of the Forestry Branch, on September 18 at Primrose Point, Lake Arkell. Keith first spotted the silvery object when he looked overhead to see a jet, and this strange craft remained in view long after the jet had gone. From nine a.m. until 11:45 the UFO remained in sight, moving slowly south, then back, to the west and back, and finally off to the south and out of sight. Brammer used 8-point binoculars to get this picture, reproduced from the original colour slide. The wisp of cloud visible is a high stratus type and the Forestry man felt the UFO must have been about 50,000 feet. Lake Arkell is about thirty miles west of Whitehorse. Anybody identify it?

News reports from Vancouver today stated a similar object had been sighted by the UFO club in that city recently.
