Not Just A Plane! - Victoria, BC - March 8, 1965

This document is a letter dated April 22, 1965, from P. M. H. Edwards to Mrs. Lorenzen of APRO. The author details a personal experience occurring on March 7, 1965, while driving home to Victoria, British Columbia. During the final stretch of the journey, the author's vehicle lights flickered off and on four times in quick succession. Although the car was later inspected, no mechanical fault was found. The author connects this event to other reported phenomena in the region, specifically a saucer sighting on a farm owned by Albert Wilson near Mount Newton, which allegedly left the ground radioactive. Additionally, the author notes that their cello teacher, Herr Siegrist, was awakened on March 8, 1965, by a high-pitched noise and a fast-moving object. The letter concludes with a critique of local newspaper coverage regarding a separate sighting between Victoria and Nanaimo. The author argues that the media incorrectly identified an object as a plane, despite the object's erratic behavior, lack of noise, unusual grey color, and the fact that military and commercial sources confirmed no aircraft were in the area at the time.
