This document, published in the Flying Saucer Review (Vol. 6, No. 4, Jul-Aug 1960), provides an account originally reported by the Manchester Guardian on March 16. The report details a claim that the Athabasca Indian Scouts of British Columbia discovered a 'sasquatch ship' in the forest. According to the text, the term 'sasquatch ship' is derived from the original Athabasca language, translating to 'sky boat,' which is interpreted as a space ship, missile, or satellite device, rather than an aircraft or meteorite. The object is described as circular and approximately 200 yards in diameter. Its reported movement involved landing on a lake, rising into the air, crashing into the Fraser River, and subsequently skidding into the timber of the Rain Forest. Additionally, the Athabasca people reportedly stated that the object glows at night.
A sasquatch ship, translated out of the original Athabasca, means a sky boat which, in turn, means a "space ship, missile or satellite device" - but not an aircraft or a meteorite.
