On September 18, 1964, Keith Brammer of the Forestry Branch observed an unidentified flying object at Primrose Point, Lake Arkell, British Columbia. Brammer initially noticed the object while looking overhead to observe a jet; he noted that the silvery craft remained visible long after the jet had departed. The object was observed from 9:00 a.m. until 11:45 a.m., during which time it performed slow movements to the south, west, and back again before eventually moving off to the south and out of sight. Brammer utilized 8-point binoculars to capture a photograph of the object, which was later reproduced from an original colour slide. Based on the presence of high stratus clouds, Brammer estimated the object's altitude to be approximately 50,000 feet. The report notes that Lake Arkell is situated roughly thirty miles west of Whitehorse. Additionally, the article mentions that news reports from Vancouver indicated a similar object had recently been sighted by a local UFO club in that city.
Keith first spotted the silvery object when he looked overhead to see a jet, and this strange craft remained in view long after the jet had gone.
