TL;DR

A personal account of a 1959 UFO sighting in Vancouver, B.C., where two silver, metallic, saucer-shaped objects were observed performing rapid, undulating maneuvers for five minutes before departing at high speed.

This document, titled 'Mammoth Dinner Plates' and published in the June 1968 issue of Phenomenon, details a personal account of a UFO sighting that occurred in Vancouver, British Columbia, in December 1959. The witness reports observing two objects around 4:00 p.m. in the area of the University of British Columbia (UBC), near the Chalmers Church on 12th Avenue. The witness describes the objects as silver-toned and roughly half the size of the dome on the Chalmers Church. The objects were observed moving in a playful, rapid manner, described as 'flitting up and down and over and under' as if playing tag. At one point, the witness noted that one of the objects turned, appearing to change shape into something resembling a 'huge Jelly Fish' due to its flexible, undulating movement and the reflection of light on its metallic surface. During this maneuver, the object briefly became invisible, appearing 'thinner-through' like a saucer. After approximately five minutes of observation, the objects departed at a high rate of speed in a south-easterly direction, eventually disappearing into a dark cloud. The witness concludes the account by reflecting on the profound impact the experience had on their personal beliefs regarding the existence of such phenomena.

Once one turned fully around and in doing so it looked like a huge Jelly Fish - so flexible in undulating movement - the reflection of the light and darker skies on presumably its metallic surface causing this effect.
