On the morning of April 7, 1961, a series of mysterious flashes and explosions were reported across a wide section of British Columbia, Canada. Residents in Kamloops, Revelstoke, and Salmon Arm reported the event, while a Vernon RCMP constable described a brilliant blue light that illuminated the sky for approximately 30 seconds at 4:15 a.m., followed by a loud explosion. A railway worker in Revelstoke observed a plume of smoke lingering in the sky for about an hour following the blast. An RCMP aircraft conducted an investigation over Bowen Island around 7:30 a.m. in response to reports of a flash and explosion, but the search for wreckage from a potential plane crash proved fruitless. Official inquiries were directed to the Royal Canadian Air Force, NORAD, and various radar and telescope stations, but none were able to provide an explanation for the phenomenon.
