Large Glowing Object Over Chetwynd

This document is a letter dated January 9, 1966, written by T. Stabberfield to an unspecified recipient, likely in response to an article by Major Donald E. Keyhoe published in the January 1966 edition of True magazine. The author writes to share a personal U.F.O. sighting that occurred during the winter of 1959-1960 in Chetwynd, British Columbia. At the time of the incident, the author was a high school student between fourteen and fifteen years old. The sighting took place at 10 p.m. from the front porch of the author's parents' home. The author describes observing a large, greenish, glowing object situated on a hill approximately 300 to 400 yards away. The object remained in view for 30 seconds to a minute, during which time the author felt as though the object was watching them. The object then departed at a high rate of speed, accompanied by a whistling sound. The author notes that they reported the incident to their school principal at the time. The letter concludes with the author's reflections on the importance of honesty and unity in investigating U.F.O. phenomena, suggesting that societal ridicule may be hindering scientific discovery.
