A report in the Daily Colonist, Victoria, on August 6 says that an Esquimalt woman reported seeing strange objects in the sky twice during the week. The first was 'silver, silent and cigar-shaped, about the size of a Zeppelin with three or four ruby-coloured windows, travelling at a fairly fast speed in a straight line across the lagoon.' The second object was about the same colour as the first, yet not so long, having the same colour and number of windows.
