TL;DR

This 1967 newspaper article details an investigation by Canadian National Telecommunications into UFO reports near microwave sites, concluding that no unusual activity or physical evidence was found. It also mentions a separate sighting by a construction crew at the Liard Dam project.

In March 1967, the Fort Nelson News reported on investigations conducted by the Canadian National Telecommunications (CNT) microwave department regarding UFO sightings in the vicinity of two microwave sites. Following reports of unidentified objects, the CNT performed a routine examination of the areas. The investigation concluded that there was no evidence of anything unusual, noting that there were no marks in the snow and no damage to the equipment. Specifically, the microwave site at Summit Lake, which utilizes an electronic checking system to record movement inside and outside the facility, showed no unusual recordings. A spokesman for the CNT clarified that a small light recently installed on the building door at the site, which would be visible from the Alaska Highway, might have been a factor in the reports. Additionally, the newspaper received a separate report of a UFO sighting from a crew employed by Canadian Longyear, who were working on the Liard Dam project near the Liard River. This crew reported to a local pilot that they had observed an object in the sky for some time.

nothing unusual had been found, neither to the equipment or any marks in the snow in the surrounding area.
