Seven-Year-Old Sees UFO in Victoria

On May 22, 1968, a resident of 2657 Florence Lake Road in Victoria, British Columbia, identified as (Mrs.) M. Dornick, wrote a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Lorenza regarding a sighting reported by her seven-year-old son, Richard. According to the letter, the incident occurred on the night of April 29/30, 1968, during a period of windy weather and rain showers. The child, who had a habit of looking out his bedroom window during the night, observed a strange object in the sky. He described the object as being black and white striped, pointed at the back, and flying at a very low altitude. He noted that the object had visible windows and a blue light shining from the rear toward his window. The child reported that the object made no noise and traveled very slowly. Due to fear, the child did not wake his mother, but instead returned to bed. Mrs. Dornick stated that her son had no prior knowledge of spacecraft, suggesting his account was based on an innocent perspective. The author mentioned she had been in contact with Dr. Max Edwards, who referred her to the recipients' club, which she expressed an interest in joining. She also noted that she had enclosed a drawing made by her son, though the drawing was not available in the provided document. Mrs. Dornick requested information regarding the nature of the object her son had seen.
