In reply to your query about UFOs in this area,
may I say that in the several years that I have
been interested in them, I have never observed
one. That is until Friday, May 28, 1965. I was
attending a beach party and noticed a large
glowing disc in the sky, travelling at a
considerable speed from south to north over the
Delta area. I pointed and yelled “shooting
star”, to attract attention to the object.
Several people can verify the sighting, and they
all agreed with me that it was not a shooting
star.
The basis for our reasoning is this:
1. It was travelling too fast.
2. Although very high (just a guess), it was
quite large, approximately the size of several
Boeing 707’s at perhaps 5000’ in a tight
cluster.
3. Completely noiseless.
4. Followed an erratic zig-zag course somewhere
over Vancouver Airport.
5. Very bright light yellow glow.
6. It made a sharp right hand turn over the
city, and proceeded from UBC to Burnaby or Port
Coquitlam.
7. It hovered over B or PC for several minutes,
the light glowing.
8. The light went out while it was hovering, and
reappeared periodically.
9. After hovering, it returned over the city
very low (1000’?) at a great speed and
disappeared.
10. It happened between 11:15 and 11:45 p.m. and
lasted perhaps 15 to 20 minutes.
I would appreciate a verification
of this sighting if any have been received.
