Cigar and Deltavolants

This document, an article by Dan Lloyd published in FSR (Vol. 12, No. 6, 1966), details two separate UFO sightings occurring on March 25, 1966, in British Columbia, Canada. The first incident involved a metallic, cigar-shaped object observed by a truck driver named Albert Kershaw near Duncan. Kershaw reported the object was approximately 50 feet long, orange at both ends with a silver band, and featured two small hatches. He observed the object at tree-top level, noting it emitted two puffs of smoke from its front underside before accelerating rapidly. The second incident occurred on the same evening over Saanich Inlet, near Victoria. Three residents—Mrs. R. H. Chappell, her sister Miss Janie Kidd, and a neighbor, Mrs. L. Austin Wright—observed two triangular objects hovering 40 to 50 feet above the water. The witnesses described the objects as silent and motionless for approximately two minutes before moving away slowly. Mrs. Chappell reported seeing ruby-red lights flashing between the objects, which Miss Kidd noted changed to orange. Mrs. Wright observed a stationary, bright yellowish light in the same area, which she concluded was not an aircraft or a ship's mast.
