Saucers Appear Over Maillardville, BC

This document is a newspaper report from The Columbian, dated July 8, 1947, detailing sightings of 'flying saucers' in Maillardville, British Columbia, on July 6, 1947. The report notes that six individuals claimed to have seen the objects. Antoine Beauregard, a local painter, reported seeing a 'shiny aluminum disc' at an altitude of approximately 15 miles, which he estimated to be 300 feet long. His wife, Mrs. Beauregard, provided a slightly different description, noting her husband described it as a 'shiny, round disc, bigger than most and sort of squared off on one side,' while also referencing the 'crashed Roswell saucer.' Additionally, three other witnesses—Mrs. V. M. Bailey, Mrs. Edward Vere, and Mrs. Carol Watkins—reported seeing a 'cloud of dust like two small tornadoes' near New Westminster at 4 p.m. on the same day. A follow-up note indicates that, according to their report, 'three discs then pulled up from behind the trees.' The reporter for The Columbian attempted to interview Mr. Beauregard but was unsuccessful.
