RCMP OFFICERS WANT UFO DETAILS AT 3 A.M.

This document, an article from The Columbian newspaper published in the Summer of 1968, details a UFO sighting in Burnaby, British Columbia, that occurred in early April 1968. Mrs. Aileen McPherson reported observing a bright pink, pulsating light hovering at a low altitude while walking her dog at 11:30 p.m. The object reportedly grew in size, hovered, and then vanished behind trees. Upon the appearance of her daughter, the object reappeared and climbed away on an erratic course. The women contacted the Burnaby RCMP, who initially stated they would follow up later. However, at 3 a.m., the family was awakened by the RCMP, who sent two officers to take formal statements. A third statement was taken from a guest, Dan Goodbout. When questioned about the unusual timing and nature of the police response, a Burnaby RCMP spokesperson could not provide an explanation, noting that there was no apparent urgency to the case, yet they were acting under 'orders from Ottawa.' The radar control center at Vancouver Airport reported nothing unusual regarding the incident.
