This document, an excerpt from the Canadian UFO Report (Vol. 1, No. 6, Nov-Dec 1969), details a sighting reported by Alex Whitecross, a writer residing in Alexis Creek, British Columbia. The incident occurred in December 1968, during the Christmas season, while Whitecross and his family were driving home from a visit to Williams Lake. According to Whitecross, they observed a 'tremendous bright green light' in level flight. He noted that while it was dark on the ground, the sun was still shining at the altitude of the object, which appeared to be self-illuminated and as bright as a magnesium flare. Whitecross explicitly stated that he did not believe in UFOs and was unable to identify the object, though he rejected the idea that it was a meteor due to the strange nature of the experience. The article notes that the report was obtained via a lead from the Halsalls and mentions a previous sighting in the same area by Zander Robertson.
