Wild Beach Party

This document is a personal account of a UFO sighting that occurred on the night of May 28, 1965, in the Richmond, British Columbia area. The author, identified as M. W. T., reports that while attending a beach party, they observed a large, glowing, light-yellow disc moving from south to north. The witness describes the object as being completely silent and roughly the size of several Boeing 707 aircraft clustered together. The object reportedly followed an erratic, zig-zag flight path over the Vancouver Airport, eventually making a sharp right-hand turn over the city. It proceeded toward the University of British Columbia (UBC) and then to either Burnaby or Port Coquitlam, where it hovered for several minutes. During this hovering phase, the object's light extinguished and reappeared periodically. Finally, the object returned over the city at a low altitude of approximately 1000 feet, moving at a high rate of speed before disappearing. The entire event lasted between 15 and 20 minutes. The author notes that several other people at the party witnessed the event and agreed that the object was not a shooting star, and they conclude the report by requesting verification of the sighting.
