About 6:15 p.m. on the evening of January 16th,
1967, Mrs. M. Larrigan and her husband were
driving south on Cadboro Bay Road from Lansdowne
when they spotted an oblong object with lights at
either and.
Both lights were steady - a red one at one end and
a green light at the other. The object was black
in colour and Mrs. Larrigan estimates that the
object was no more than 1,000 feet directly over
the car. Mr. and Mrs. Larrigan, of 2376 Beach
Drive, watched the object for about three minutes
as it progressed through the sky in a northerly
direction. "I put down the window in the car and
heard a funny hum, but not like an airplane
engine. The object looked like it was cruising
around, then took off at high speed to the north."
"I'd never seen anything like it," she said.
This is not the first UFO she has seen. Some
months ago she awoke at 3:15 a.m., looked out her
window and saw a brilliant white ball travelling
through the sky from east to west.
"I know what a satellite looks like, and this
wasn't one."
Mrs. Larrigan's sighting is on file at CAPIC
Headquarters and is number 10017 for those of you
in our affiliations who may want a copy.
The credit for this sighting goes to our West
Coast Co-director, Dr. P.M.H. Edwards who, very
alertly, notified us of Mrs. Larrigan's
experience.
