Mystery Disc Stories Grow

This newspaper article, published in the Vancouver Sun on June 28, 1947, reports on two separate sightings of 'flying saucers' in the Vancouver area. The primary account involves William Crodie, a resident of 1655 Adanac, who reported being 'mystified' by a silvery object he observed at 8:00 pm (PDT) on Friday, June 27, 1947. Crodie, who was driving east on Kingsway near Victoria Street at the time, described the object as having no wings or tail and noted that it was sinking slowly toward the horizon, making it difficult for him to determine if the object was moving away or dropping. The article also briefly mentions a second report from an unidentified woman who claimed to have seen 'vaporous discs' swooping over her house approximately one month prior, around May 1947. The text includes a parenthetical note suggesting that weather stations release silver-white balloons, though it does not explicitly link this to the sightings.
