B.C. WOMAN SPOTS UFO - AND NOT THE FIRST ONE !!
AI-Generated Summary
A report from the Canadian Aerial Phenomenon Investigations Committee (CAPIC) detailing a January 1967 sighting of an oblong, black object with red and green lights in Victoria, BC. The case is filed under number 10017.
This document, published in the April 1967 issue of CAPIC Reports (Vol. 1, No. 3), details a UFO sighting reported by Mrs. M. Larrigan in Victoria, British Columbia. On the evening of January 16, 1967, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Mrs. Larrigan and her husband were driving south on Cadboro Bay Road when they observed an oblong, black object hovering no more than 1,000 feet above them. The object featured steady red and green lights at opposite ends. Mrs. Larrigan reported hearing a 'funny hum' that did not resemble an airplane engine. The object appeared to cruise in the area before accelerating at high speed toward the north. The sighting lasted for approximately three minutes. Mrs. Larrigan also noted a previous, separate sighting from several months prior, during which she observed a brilliant white ball traveling from east to west at 3:15 a.m., which she explicitly distinguished from a satellite. The incident is cataloged in the CAPIC files as case number 10017, and the report credits West Coast Co-director Dr. P.M.H. Edwards for bringing the experience to the committee's attention.
I put down the window in the car and heard a funny hum, but not like an airplane engine. The object looked like it was cruising around, then took off at high speed to the north.
