Thursday Apr. 13th around 8.15 p.m. Victoria's lights suddenly all dimmed for a couple of seconds; and at that moment, witnesses in town chanced to see a colored object streak across the sky. The press tried to explain this dimming to lightning up at Campbell River, some 200 miles away; this, however, would seem unconvincing, in view of the numerous past cases where a certain type of UFO has repeatedly caused the dimming, and indeed the blackout, of electric lights in widely separated areas. It is also well-known to researchers that other types of UFOs do not affect electrical installations: on the other hand, it is possible that all UFOs may have the ability to affect such installations, or to refrain from doing so, at will.
