Photographic Evidence of Baker Creek "Flying Saucer"

This article from the Cariboo Observer, dated November 23, 1967, details a series of sightings of unidentified flying objects in the Quesnel, British Columbia area. The primary account concerns a sighting at Baker Creek during the summer of 1967 by Mr. George Young and two companions. According to the report, the witnesses had been monitoring the area following previous sightings in May. During the encounter, the object—described as dome-shaped with a ball-like protuberance underneath—hovered at an altitude of approximately 50 feet before landing. The object featured a row of multi-colored lights around its center. It remained on the ground for about a minute before taking off and disappearing rapidly. Mr. Young reported that the object produced a sound reminiscent of both a helicopter and a jet. Upon inspecting the landing site, the witnesses observed a 35-40 foot area that appeared to have been seared by heat. Mr. Young noted that he and his associates had witnessed similar objects three or four times over the preceding three or four years in the Barkerville and Red Bluff areas. He characterized the objects as being faster than jet planes and noted they were consistently observed in flat, marshy, isolated locations. The witnesses successfully captured a still photograph of the object and attempted to record it on movie film, though the film had not yet been developed at the time of the report.
