AudioBlog: A UFO and Occupants in British Columbia, Canada

On January 1, 1970, the new year dawned in Canada with a UFO and
occupants report. This was in the midst of a flap centered on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It was investigated by John
Magor, editor and publisher of the Canadian UFO Report, and he
provided a report to the Victoria
Times. The Victoria Times published an article on
the case on page 1 of the January 5, 1970 edition (page
10 of link), and Magor published his version in the Volume 1,
Number 7, summer issue of the Canadian UFO Report.News indicating
there was an ongoing flap in the area turns up in the December 22,
1969 edition (page 8 of link) of the Victorian
Times under the headline “Look Up Islanders, The UFOs Are
Watching You.” A sighting by four witnesses in the Ladysmith area
is described. Two of the witnesses, Graham Toole, 21, and Albert
Birkeland, 22, reported they were driving when they saw an object
with three lights, white on top and red on the bottom. Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Knight reported seeing what the reporter for the times wrote
“must be the same object.” According to the article, they agreed
with Toole and Birkeland that it “moved about a mile a second.” Mr.
Knight said that he had seen an object in September where “you
could see the cabin lights clearly.” The article also describes a
“greyish saucer-shaped object with a transparent center” seen by
five people over an elementary school in Duncan. Read
