AI-Generated Summary
This memo documents a 1967 incident in Victoria, BC, where a colored UFO was sighted during a sudden, unexplained dimming of city lights. The author challenges the official press explanation of distant lightning, suggesting a link between the UFO and the electrical disturbance.
On the evening of April 13, 1967, at approximately 8:15 p.m., the city of Victoria, British Columbia, experienced a sudden, brief dimming of its electrical lights. Simultaneously, witnesses in the town observed a colored object streaking across the sky. Local press reports attempted to attribute the electrical disturbance to lightning occurring in Campbell River, located roughly 200 miles away. P.H.M. Edwards, in a memo to APRO, dismissed this explanation as unconvincing. Edwards argued that the event aligns with numerous historical cases where specific types of UFOs have been observed causing the dimming or total blackout of electrical systems in various locations. The author further posits that while some UFOs appear to have no impact on electrical infrastructure, it remains a possibility that all such objects possess the capability to influence electrical installations, choosing to exercise or refrain from this power at their own discretion.
It is also well-known to researchers that other types of UFOs do not affect electrical installations: on the other hand, it is possible that all UFOs may have the ability to affect such installations, or to refrain from doing so, at will.
