Declassified UFO / UAP Document
POWER PROJECT EXAMINED
AI-Generated Summary
A group of residents in McLeese Lake, BC, observed a glowing red object hovering over non-operational power lines on August 26, 1967. The incident was documented in the 1973 Canadian UFO Report.
On the night of August 26, 1967, at approximately 10:00 PM, a group of at least twelve residents in McLeese Lake, British Columbia, observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon. The witnesses described the object as a glowing, blood-red sphere, roughly the size of a soccer ball. The object emerged from the south and proceeded to travel directly above newly installed electrical cables associated with the Peace River power project, which was located further to the north. According to Mrs. Alfred Beck, one of the witnesses, the object moved slowly and hovered over the power lines as if it were conducting an inspection or study of the infrastructure. A significant detail noted in the report is that the Peace River project was not yet operational at the time of the sighting, meaning no electricity was being transmitted through the cables. Consequently, the report suggests that the object's focus on the lines was directed toward the physical existence of the system rather than any active power transmission.
It didn't seem to be in any hurry and it stayed right over those lines as if it was studying them
