UFO Sighting in Vernon

This document is a piece of private correspondence written by John Musgrave regarding his observations of unidentified aerial phenomena. Musgrave writes to an unnamed recipient, referencing an article by Major Donald E. Keyhoe. He describes a sighting that occurred in June 1949, approximately two miles east of Vernon, British Columbia. Musgrave reports seeing an object around midnight that resembled a moving star but with greater light intensity. He estimates the object was traveling south at an altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 feet, moving at a speed he characterizes as one-tenth that of a meteorite. He explicitly notes that the object was not an aircraft with landing lights, comparing its appearance to a USA communication satellite. Musgrave further details subsequent sightings, including one on March 27, 1966, and another in April 1965 near Armstrong, British Columbia. Additionally, he recounts a separate incident in April 1965 near Enderby, British Columbia, where he witnessed a meteorite with 'hellish brightness' that caused him to stop his vehicle. Musgrave concludes his letter by asserting his observational credibility, stating that he does not mistake common objects for extraordinary phenomena.
