TL;DR

A rancher and his guests in Lone Butte, BC, reported multiple sightings of saucer-shaped objects emitting a droning sound in July 1967. The phenomena caused visible distress to the ranch's livestock and dogs.

This document is a press report originally published in The Vancouver Sun on July 27, 1967, detailing a series of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings in the Cariboo ranch country near Lone Butte, British Columbia. The primary witness, rancher Brian Gratton, reported observing UFOs for five consecutive nights in July 1967. Gratton, who has operated the ranch for ten years, stated that he, his wife Pat, a wrangler named Shawn Broe, and various guests witnessed the objects. One notable guest, Mrs. George Black, the widow of a Member of Parliament for the Yukon, reported seeing a light three times the size of a star on July 13, which Gratton referred to as a 'mothership.' Witnesses described the objects as saucer-shaped, featuring red and green blinking lights or a bright white pulsating light. The objects were observed shifting, bobbing, and weaving in the sky, often moving in small units of three. A significant characteristic reported by the witnesses was a droning sound, described as similar to a high-tension wire, which was audible even when the objects were stationary. This sound reportedly caused distress among the ranch's 480 head of cattle and horses, and affected the behavior of dogs in the area. The sightings continued through July 15, with Gratton noting that on the first night, he observed 13 objects. The document also references subsequent coverage of these events in the 'Canadian UFO Report,' 'McLean's Magazine,' and John Magor's book 'Our UFO Visitors.'

"Some nights you could hear a drone or hum like a high-tension wire. It woke my mother up 23 miles from my place."
