Victoria "Sea Gull" Sighting Report — Victoria, BC, March 4, 1967

On March 4, 1967, at approximately 2:45 PM, a witness named Barney Kent observed an unidentified object while standing outside his office in Victoria, British Columbia. Initially mistaking the object for a white sea gull due to its silvery-white appearance, the witness soon realized it was not a bird because the wings were stationary and swept back at a sharp angle. The object was described as round and bulging in the center, with a rounded front and wings that extended past the circular rear. The witness noted the object was moving at a high rate of speed, which he estimated to be four times that of a B47 aircraft. As the object traveled toward the south, it maintained a constant speed and altitude. At one point, the object performed a sudden maneuver, jumping sideways 90 degrees, which positioned it behind a sign on a building across the street. Throughout this movement, the object maintained its flight attitude relative to its direction. The witness provided a freehand drawing of the craft to accompany his narrative, which was recorded on an APRO UFO Report Form.
