OBJECTS OVER CITY: Saucers 'Visit' Phenomena Meet

This newspaper article from The Vancouver Sun, dated August 16, 1965, reports on a series of aerial phenomena observed in the Vancouver area during a week-long conclave on psychic phenomena. Residents reported seeing bright lights in the sky over Seymour Mountain, the airport, and Birch Bay. Major Wayne Aho, a speaker at the conclave, noted that similar sightings had been reported in Washington state and the local area for the previous month. Specifically, residents reported seeing red and green lights over Seymour Mountain around 9 p.m. on Sunday, August 15, 1965. The weather office on Sea Island received numerous calls regarding these lights. While the RCAF air rescue authorities suggested that these lights were likely stars, other reports included a specific account from a Vancouver resident, Gerald Squires. Squires reported seeing a silver, globular object, described as being like a ball, over Birch Bay at 4:40 p.m. on the same Sunday, noting that he heard a drone. The article also mentions that the sightings coincided with a New Age conclave held at the York Theatre, which was attended by 35 people.
