CHETWYND - Chetwynd's mystery object was back again last week and it is still a mystery. A large number of school students saw the object and reported it to the school office where teachers went out to have a look too.

Descriptions varied widely. Students at the Reporter office compared it with the size of an Industrial hard hat at 15 feet and going from north-east to south-west.

The school office reported that the object was, “shiny, very high and fairly fast” and that it was in sight for three or four minutes going from east to west.

The JayCees president said it was a JayCees missile from Prince George.

Canadian Pacific Airlines said that their scheduled aircraft leaves Fort St John for Vancouver at 11:25 am and 8:45 p.m.

Pacific Western Airlines leaves Vancouver for Hudson's Hope at 10:15 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They leave Hudson's Hope at two p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Studies of altitude, speed, track, schedules and estimated time over Chetwynd of scheduled commercial aircraft suggested no solutions,

One study not yet attempted is the schedules and orbits [of] orbiting space experimental vehicles of which about 900 remain in space. Common American procedure puts the vehicles into an east-to-west orbit in order to conserve fuel and reduce engine size. They can often be seen as a silver object at dawn, when the sky is still dark from the absence of atmospheric light scatter, travelling just across the sky for just a few minutes.
