Prince George Sightings Go To Norad

This document consists of two newspaper reports from The Citizen in Prince George, British Columbia, dated June 8 and June 9, 1965. The articles detail a sighting by an anonymous local man and his family, who observed a strange object while driving 20 miles west of Prince George on Highway 16 at approximately midnight on June 6, 1965. The witness described the object as having two bullet-shaped, light-emitting sections joined by a dark area, which appeared to brighten and darken in a manner similar to a light switch. The object was observed for about five seconds, moving from south to north at a relatively slow speed. The witness reported the incident to RCAF Station Baldy Hughes, which subsequently relayed the information to McChord Air Force Base in Seattle, a sector command post for the North American Air Defence (NORAD) network. The report notes that such sightings are eventually forwarded to USAF headquarters for further study. A second report in the June 9 edition mentions an anonymous housewife who claimed to have seen a similar balloon-shaped object on June 3, 1965, which she described as moving faster than a helicopter. The articles highlight the established liaison process between the RCAF and the USAF regarding the handling of UFO reports.
