More unidentified flying objects were reported
over Victoria Tuesday night.
Trailing mainly red lights, the
objects were reported in the northern sky
travelling in a general southeast to northwest
direction.
Allan Young, 991 Lodge Avenue,
reported seeing the object at 8:30 p.m.
CHANGED COLOR
“It changed color from a bright
to a dim red and then to a white and greenish
color,” he said. “It also moved up and down.”
Mr. Young still had the object
in sight as he phoned the Colonist.
NOT SPACESHIP
John H. Steele of 24 Douglas,
reported seeing an object which he did not think
was a spaceship at about 9:30 p.m. in the
eastern sky. It seemed to move southeast to
northwest.
“It seemed to hang in the sky
above the transmitter lights on Trial Island” he
said.
FADED LIKE FLARE
“It suddenly seemed to more or
less explode and turn yellowish and drop, and it
faded like a flare.”
The switchboard of radio station
CKLG in Vancouver was jammed with callers
between 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after
hundreds of people reported seeing red objects
in the sky south of Vancouver.
SOUP PLATES
Two watchers on Burnaby Mountain
said it was like two inverted soup plates stuck
together, and had a pulsating red glow.
