Ladysmith "Saucer Nest"?

This document, published in the Canadian UFO Report in 1971, details two separate incidents reported by Mrs. Margaret A. Smith of Ladysmith, British Columbia, occurring in 1967. In the first incident, which took place in mid-summer 1967, Mrs. Smith was alone at home when her dog began barking restlessly in the basement. She experienced a period of semi-consciousness, followed by a vivid, momentary illumination of her room, which she perceived through her closed eyelids. Upon investigating the next day, she discovered a patch of flattened grass and a narrow, straight path leading through a swampy area toward the sea. She later identified this as a 'saucer nest' after seeing a similar image in a UFO paperback. The second incident occurred in mid-September 1967. While looking out over the Stuart Channel, Mrs. Smith observed a large, pulsating, and vibrating light that she initially mistook for a bonfire on the opposite shore. The object, which displayed a blending of colors rather than a single white light, moved slowly southward over the water for approximately a minute and a half before disappearing from view. She reported hearing no sound during this observation.
