Large Oval Seen Over Victoria

This document is a letter dated April 22, 1965, written by P. M. H. Edwards to an individual named Coral at APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organization). The author discusses a surge in UFO activity in the Pacific Northwest, specifically mentioning Victoria, Vancouver, and Seattle. Edwards details his investigative efforts, including interviews with local witnesses such as Mrs. Uhtoff, an elderly artist who observed an object in Esquimalt. He clarifies that Mrs. Uhtoff did not use binoculars, as reported by the press, but was wearing tri-focal glasses. The author also mentions upcoming interviews with other witnesses, including a Mrs. Butler who reported a sighting from a CPR train in the Rockies, and a Mrs. Bales who reported a sighting from her home on Hollywood Crescent. The second page of the document provides a specific account of a sighting on March 27, 1965, at 11:35 PM. The witness observed a large, white-gold, elongated oval object with a turquoise halo hovering between Trial Island and Hollywood Crescent for 20 minutes. The object eventually lifted vertically and vanished. The author expresses frustration with local media reporting, noting that he was misquoted as an Airforce spotter.
