Bright Orange Light Over Mount Seymour

This document is a private letter dated October 18, 1975, from Brian Antonson to John Musgrave. The letter was written in response to an article about Musgrave's UFO research published in 'Canadian Magazine'. Antonson details three separate UFO sighting experiences he had in the Burnaby, British Columbia area between 1967 and 1970. The first sighting occurred in June 1967, when Antonson observed a bright orange light above Mount Seymour while walking to work. He encountered a policeman who was also observing the object. The object exhibited strange behavior, including blinking out and reappearing, and moving at high speeds. A second sighting occurred two weeks later with a friend, where the object appeared to descend in a spiral before disappearing. A third sighting took place in the fall of 1970, involving five objects in formation that traveled west-to-east across the southern sky before blinking out. Antonson also recounts a story from his high school years about a friend who claimed to see a cigar-shaped 'mother ship' with rows of lights during a cloudy night. While Antonson acknowledges that many sightings in his area are likely caused by plastic balloons heated by candles, he maintains that his 1967 observations do not fit this explanation. He expresses support for Musgrave's research and shares his personal belief in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.
