This document is a press report detailing a UFO sighting by two young girls and their father in Saltair, BC, on April 18, 1966. The object was described as changing color and moving at high speeds.
On the night of Monday, April 18, 1966, two young girls, 12-year-old Mona and 11-year-old Diane Smith, returned to their home in Saltair, British Columbia, in a state of distress after observing an unidentified flying object. The girls had been at their mailbox at approximately 8:30 PM when the encounter occurred. Upon hearing their account, their father, Mr. G. M. Smith, a logging truck driver based in Copper Canyon, Chemainus, went outside to investigate. Mr. Smith reportedly observed the object himself, later describing it as being capable of changing color from blue to red, and exhibiting the ability to travel at high speeds before stopping rapidly. The object was observed flying overland between the communities of Saltair and Ladysmith. Mrs. Smith, who was not present for the sighting, later reported the incident to the Ladysmith RCMP. According to Mrs. Smith, her husband was 'thunderstruck' by the experience and admitted that he would not have believed the girls' account had he not witnessed the phenomenon personally.
He was sort of thunderstruck and said he wouldn't have believed the girls if he hadn't seen the thing for himself.
