At 9:45 yesterday morning a bright reflection in the sky caught the eye of Bud Henderson, a member of the Ground Observer Corps, and he trained his binocu- lars on the object. It wasn’t’ an aircraft of any type, nor was it a balloon. Bud phoned in a re- port to the filter centre at Prince George and then notified Jim Duthie, regional supervisor in town for the GOC. It was with- out question a UFO. “Scramble” Jet fighters of the RCAF and the USAF were sent scrambling into the air and they converged the s| above town. The fighter pilots could not pick the object up in their radar scopes nor could they make visual con- tact. Neither did the object make a “pip” on the screens of radar stations in the area. An air traffic control had to be directed from the ground by ob- servers who had the object in vis- ual sight with the binoculars.

The trailer, owned by Robert Laidlaw and parked right be- hind his apartment block, is oc: cupied by Mr. and Mrs. R. D Boyd. Monday Mrs Boyd was washing in the basement of the apartment building and check- ing every now and then on her two-year-old son, who was piay- ing in the trailer. About eleven o'clock she glanced over at the trailer and saw smoke issuing from it. Rushing back she saw the boy sitting on the burniug chesterfield and carried him to safety. Neighbors threw the small chesterfield outside and by the time firemen arrived the danger was past. Mrs. Boyd has no idea how the fire started, unless her son managed to find a match some- where, through a Combat =a came to Williams Lake over four hours to “look k. be intercepted by the jets: Mr. Duthie said that the jets were flying at an altitude from 35 to 40 thousand feet and the object still appeared to be-quite a bit above them. It was explained that the ob- ject was seen by its reflection of the sun. This reflection is cast downward to the earth and so a pilot at 35 thousand feet is not likely to spot it. It is also hard to focus your vision at any great distance while looking into the blue depth of the sky. The object was kept in visual contact for over three and one half hours. It was first seen about 20 to 30 miles south of Williams Lake and it drifted slowly in a westward direction. It was lost from sight at 2:30 p.m. when it was obscured by clouds. This UFO was described as be- ing spherical in shape and bright silver. It was at an extremely on a straight course westward.
