UFOs at Fairview

On January 31, 1967, a grade 4 class at Oliver Elementary School in Fairview, British Columbia, observed four unidentified flying objects traveling in a south-east direction. The sighting occurred during school hours, initially drawing the teacher's attention due to whispering among the students. Upon being alerted by a student that the objects were 'flying saucers,' the teacher directed the class to the windows to observe the phenomenon. The students described the objects as brilliant silver in color and noted that they did not maintain a conventional flight formation. One object led the group, followed by two others, with a fourth trailing behind. The movement was described as a 'leisurely flight' or 'cruising.' Following the observation, the students illustrated their impressions on a blackboard, collectively agreeing that the objects were wingless, disc-shaped, and slightly elongated, with a distinct tail structure. The report concludes by noting the students' and teacher's hope that the objects were indeed UFOs.
