Some honored guests turned up Sunday night for
the second day of a week-long conclave on
psychic phenomena.
The guests – flying saucers, of
course.
At least that’s what some
Vancouver residents reported after sighting
bright lights in the sky over Seymour Mountain,
the airport and Birch Bay.
And a speaker at the conclave
isn’t surprised at all.
Major Wayne Aho, from Seattle,
said a convention of flying saucer enthusiasts
was held in Washington state last month, and
there were numerous reports of such sightings,
he said.
“They started before the
conclave, and sightings have been reported
continually for the last month in the area.”
Vancouver residents phoned The
Sun about 9 p.m. Sunday with reports that there
were weird red and green lights over Seymour
Mountain.
The weather office on Sea Island
received many similar calls from people saying
they saw lights above the mountains, and over
the airport. Similar reports last week on
sightings over Grouse were not explained, but
RCAF air rescue authorities said today they
believe the lights are actually stars.
One Vancouver man, however, is
quite convinced he saw a flying saucer over
Birch Bay. “I was down by the beach about 4:40
p.m. Sunday when I heard the drone,” said Gerald
Squires, 468 West Thirty-Eighth.
Squires described the flying
object as being silver and globular, like a
ball. He could not judge the size.
Sunday was the second day of the
New Age conclave being held at the York Theatre,
639 Commercial. There were 35 persons present.
