Island's Mysterious Object High-Flying Mystery Jet

On April 11, 1965, reports emerged of a mysterious aerial object over Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Between 7:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., multiple witnesses observed a bright light in the sky. Dr. Kenneth O. Wright, assistant director of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, noted that an observer identified the object as a high-flying jet with landing lights activated. Another observer, S. C. Morris, recorded in his logbook that he witnessed a high-flying jet traveling north. Later, at 7:45 p.m., two fishermen and two boys near Extension Lake, south of Nanaimo, reported seeing the light hover before a second object, believed to be a conventional jet, approached it. Following this, the light extinguished, and the object departed to the northwest at a high rate of speed, leaving a vapor trail. Despite these reports, civil and military authorities, including the RCAF Search and Rescue, confirmed that no Canadian or US aircraft were operating in the vicinity at the time of the incident.
