From a Vancouver newspaper (probably the Sun) of March 2, 1966, comes the following account of three sightings:

Newspaper printer Alfred Quemby said Tuesday, he had seen an oval-shaped saucer with a dome on top circling over the Benvoulin district on Kelowna’s south-east limits. Quemby said: “When I got out of my car for a closer look, it disappeared at an almost unbelievable speed.”

Clifford Cole, an employee of the CPR Lakes Service, said he was on watch at the CPR dock in Kelowna when he saw a large object hovering over Okanagan Lake. Suddenly, another smaller craft seemed to pop to the surface from beneath the lake. It seemed to remain on the surface and then returned to the mother ship which flew away,” Cole said.

Two teenagers, who refused to be identified, said they saw a saucer-shaped object Saturday night. They said they also heard the craft make a noise like a transport truck until it gradually subsided to a low hum. The couple said a diamond-shaped smaller craft emerged from the big ship while they watched, circle the saucer and then went back inside.
