Flying Saucer?

 

Picture of an unidentified object taken at Baker Creek in the summer by Mr. George Young of West Quesnel, as it hovered fifty feet from the ground prior to landing. The object seared an area of some 35-40 feet where it rested on the ground.

Photographic evidence of the existence of “flying saucers” or some other form of unidentified flying objects in the Quesnel area, has been located by the Cariboo Observer.

Shortly after the Observer carried a report of sightings of UFOs over Baker Creek in May, Mr. George Young of Baker Drive in West Quesnel, and two companions, spent a number of days in the Baker Creek area spotting for unidentified objects.

Their vigilance was rewarded early one morning when an object appeared overhead.

Mr. Young said he and his group were able to record the sound made by the machine, which sounded like & helicopter and a jet.

The object, dome-shaped with a ball-like protuberance hanging beneath it, suddenly appeared and hovered at a point some 50 feet from the ground.

Mr. Young said there was a row of shining lights in various colours around the centre of the machine, which descended and landed and remained on the ground for “about a minute”.

The object took off again, and after hovering for a second time at about 50 feet disappeared. Mr. Young said it was “quite uncanny the way sight and sound disappeared in a flash”.

He said that he and his friends were able to take a picture of the object, and on examination at the spot where it landed, an area of some 35-40 feet had been seared by heat.

Mr. Young added that he and his friends have had three or four sightings of this type of object over the last three or four years, in the Barkerville and Red Bluff areas.

"So far we have not been able to determine what they are,” he said “but they travel far faster than a jet plane, and always seem to be seen in flat marshy isolated areas.”

Mr. Young said at no time had any movement been observed on the objects.

He added that a movie film record has also been taken, but the results have not yet been developed.
