Red-Orange Light North of Quesnel

This document is a letter dated June 10, 1968, written by Mrs. Linda Coldwell to the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) in Tucson, Arizona. The primary purpose of the letter is to inquire about membership requirements for the organization. In addition to her inquiry, Mrs. Coldwell provides a report of an unexplained sighting she and her husband experienced the previous year, in 1967. She notes that while she cannot recall the exact month, the event occurred between June and August while they were living in a logging camp some miles outside of Quesnel, British Columbia. According to the report, the sighting took place at approximately 12:30 am on a Sunday morning. While returning from a friend's house, about 20 miles north of Quesnel, her husband noticed a very bright red-orange light in the sky. Mrs. Coldwell describes the light as appearing to originate from a cloud rather than the ground, and it was bright enough to illuminate a portion of the sky. She observed that the light did not appear at regular intervals and that they watched it for approximately five minutes. The witnesses eventually stopped their vehicle on a side road leading to their camp, but the light did not reappear after they stopped. Mrs. Coldwell concludes her account by stating that she is unsure what the object was and expresses her interest in receiving information about the organization.
