A Child’s UFO Sighting is confirmed by Adults
across the Yukon
Nov-96, (a Monday night), Whitehorse, Yukon, 9:30 or 10:30 pm
by Lorraine Bretlyn and Martin Jasek
A 9 year old girl was star gazing out her bedroom window in Logan
Subdivision when she spotted blinking bright yellow lights coming out from the back yard
and ravine area of the house just across the street.
She then saw an object moved up and out of the bush really slow and then
take off, fast. It was gone – she saw it disappear. It took off in a northerly
direction over the Mt. McIntyre ski area. The young girl turned to look at her desk clock
to see what time it was. It was either 9:30 or 10:30pm.
The object was saucer shaped, dark green with numerous blinking small
bright yellow lights lined up on its inner edge, and had two identical extensions
protruding out from one side of it. They looked almost like long thin arms crooked at the
elbow. Each of the protrusions had small saucer shaped objects attached to them with the
same yellow light arrangement. She estimated that the object was the size of a teacup at
arms length. The distance from her house to the bushes across and down the street is
approximately 140 metres (460 ft).

She told her mother on Tuesday morning and drew her a picture of the
object. Understandably, the mother had her doubts. However, on Wednesday morning, 7 am,
the mother heard on the CKRW news about unusual activity in the area surrounding
Whitehorse. She also heard the exact description of the lights in the bush – glowing
– from a lady in Watson Lake! Other Yukon residents had called in and seen the same
thing! The mother called in to say that her 9 year old had seen it as well. Because of her
age it would not be aired, so the mother was told. The young girl gave her description to
the radio station. The Mother asked to be called when they found out what it was. CKRW
called back apologizing as the 9 year old daughter’s description did "air".
This made her really upset ! At this time she was told that "Alaska was conducting
"experiments" in the Yukon Mountains (ha ha – sure !) she thought.
Note: The Mother had some doubts about the believability of her young
daughter's spectacular story until it was repeated in detail by an adult listener out of
Watson Lake two days later.
Estimate of the object size
Using the relative size of a teacup at arms length, and the distances
from the young girl’s window to the bushes across and down the street one can obtain
the approximate size of the object. The results of this calculation show that the object
my have been of the order of 24.5 metres (80 feet) in diameter.
