Multiple Craft Over Victoria

This report documents a series of aerial sightings occurring on March 30, 1967, in Victoria, British Columbia, as recorded by the Canadian Aerial Phenomenon Investigations Committee (C.A.P.I.C) and filed under APRO Case Files. The primary witness, Michael Rogers, reported observing multiple unidentified objects between 7:55 P.M. and 9:15 P.M. The sightings began with a red flashing object seen from Mt. Tolmie, which traveled from the east over Georgia Strait and disappeared over the Juan de Fuca Strait. Shortly after, at 8:05 P.M., numerous brilliant orange flashes were observed in an irregular pattern. Throughout the evening, objects were seen hovering over Saanich and Mt. Douglas, exhibiting various colors including red, green, and whitish yellow. The witness described the objects as football-shaped with lights at the ends and noted that they performed complex maneuvers, such as reversing direction, climbing, and hovering. At one point, an object hovered while a small airplane passed over it. The witness noted that the objects moved at speeds of approximately thirty miles per hour and, at one stage, descended to an altitude of 1000 feet while passing over the district of Oak Bay. The witness claimed to be close enough to hear the craft, though no specific noise was described. The report includes sketches provided by the witness, illustrating the craft's shape, including a dome on top and projections on the bottom. The document concludes with the names of the C.A.P.I.C leadership: Chairman A.K. Vezina, Senior Director L. Bluestein, and Director D. Ely.
