Flying Object Report — Prince George, B.C., 7 November 1953

This document contains a formal military report regarding an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon sighting that occurred on November 7, 1953, in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. The report, filed under Air Force Regulation 200-2, details a ground-visual observation of a single object lasting approximately four minutes. The witness described the object as a round, blinking light that was white and blue in color, with no visible tail or exhaust. The object was observed within 150 feet of the ground, where it remained for 30 seconds before ascending to 200 feet and remaining stationary for 10 seconds. It then moved west and disappeared. The weather conditions at the time were reported as clear and dark, with stars clearly visible. The investigating officer, Captain James F. Mitchell, concluded that the description, duration, and flight path of the object were consistent with aircraft analysis. The document also includes a separate, unrelated excerpt from a Hydrographic Bulletin dated November 8, 1953, regarding a meteor observation reported by Chief Officer D. A. Davis of the American vessel MV Jumper Hitch in the North Pacific. This meteor was described as very brilliant and traveling in a southeasterly direction near the zenith, with large pieces appearing to fall away before the main body burned out.
