Green Light Seen Over Hammond, BC

On the night of April 4, 1952, at approximately 10:30 p.m., an unidentified aerial phenomenon was observed near Hammond, British Columbia, at 49° Latitude and 123° Longitude. Under conditions of clear skies and excellent visibility, a shimmering green light, described as resembling an airplane light, was seen in the southern sky. The object moved noiselessly in a northward direction toward the observer. As it approached, the object's color shifted to orange-amber, and its tail appeared to be sparkling. Upon reaching a position nearly overhead, the object executed a sharp turn to the west, stopped suddenly, and reversed its course along the same path. During this maneuver, it changed to a reddish color and assumed an oval shape. After returning to the original area of observation in the southern sky, the object proceeded toward the horizon, transitioning through colors of amber, green, and finally a silvery white. This account is documented in the Musgrave Files and referenced in publications by Desmond Leslie and Arthur Bray, as well as the Vancouver Sun.
