Destruction Bay Sighting

On March 20, 1967, at approximately 6:00 p.m., Kenneth Green, a CNT lineman residing in Destruction Bay, Yukon Territory, observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon near the summit of a mountain located roughly five miles from his home. Initially mistaking the object for a snowmobile, Green and his wife soon realized the object was significantly larger, estimating it to be the size of two freight cars. Using binoculars, Green observed the object to be wide and oval-shaped, appearing brownish in color. A notable feature was a cone-shaped light positioned beneath the main body, which appeared to function as a thrusting device; this light shifted colors between red and yellow. The object's movement was described as controlled, with the cone positioned directly beneath the craft during vertical movement and trailing at an angle during horizontal flight. The object remained near the mountain peak for several minutes before descending slowly, maintaining an altitude of a few feet above the mountain's surface. It traveled to an adjacent mountain, returned partway, and eventually disappeared through a notch between the mountains. The total duration of the sighting was estimated at thirty minutes. Other witnesses, including the Greens' neighbors, Tom Clare and his wife, as well as other individuals at the camp, also observed the object. Following the event, Green contacted transport department officials to rule out the presence of helicopters in the area, confirming that none were present. Approximately ten minutes after the object vanished, Green observed a white vapor trail stretching across the lake toward the notch where the object had disappeared. Green expressed certainty that the object's flight path through the mountain notch was deliberate, stating that the entity appeared to know exactly what it was doing.
