U.F.O. In Our Own Backyard!

This document is a report from the Vancouver Area Flying Saucer Club detailing a UFO sighting on Lulu Island, British Columbia, on February 24, 1958. The witness, a 12-year-old boy named Grahame Langton, reported encountering a stationary, whitish-grey object approximately 10 feet in diameter and 7 feet in height while returning from a Scout meeting around 9 p.m. The object hovered three feet off the ground and featured a dark red, four-sectioned center light that appeared to focus on a passing car. The witness described the object as having projecting arms with buzzing balls at the ends and square windows in an outer circle. He also noted a buzzing sound on the ground earlier that afternoon, which he associated with the later event. Following the incident, an RCMP constable visited the home and could offer no explanation, and an RCAF representative also spoke with the family, reportedly agreeing that the boy was telling the truth. Members of the Flying Saucer Club later interviewed the boy and concluded that his detailed account was credible. Physical evidence mentioned includes broken twigs on a tree near the site of the alleged hovering.
