Bright Pulsing Light Seen Over Victoria
AI-Generated Summary
A report from APRO files detailing a 1968 sighting in Victoria, BC, where witnesses observed a silent, pulsing light that appeared to disintegrate and drop molten-like material. Authorities confirmed no aircraft were in the vicinity at the time.
On the night of May 10, 1968, at approximately 9:30 PM, a group of witnesses including Mrs. W. Chamberlain, her husband, and their daughter observed a bright, pulsing white light in the sky over the Swan Lake area of Victoria, British Columbia. The witnesses estimated the object was at an altitude of 5,000 feet and traveling at a speed comparable to a propeller-driven aircraft. The object moved in an easterly direction and produced no audible sound. As the object traversed the sky, it shifted in color to red and increased in brightness before appearing to disintegrate. During this process, material described as looking like molten metal was observed falling toward the ground. Despite the report, no physical remnants were ever recovered. The entire event lasted approximately 10 minutes. At the time of the sighting, there was no cloud cover and the wind was light and variable. Official inquiries confirmed that there were no aircraft operating in the area during the incident.
As the light crossed the sky it changed to red, became increasingly bright and "seemed to disintegrate".
