A November 1969 newspaper report details two separate sightings of a fast-moving, multi-colored light-bearing object over Ladysmith, British Columbia. Witnesses described the object as having white and red lights and moving at speeds inconsistent with conventional aircraft.
This document is a newspaper report from the Victoria Daily Times, dated November 25, 1969, detailing sightings of unidentified aerial objects in Ladysmith, British Columbia, during the previous weekend. Two separate groups of witnesses reported seeing an object with specific lighting characteristics. Graham Toole and Albert Birkeland, residents of the Sea Breeze auto court, observed an object while driving near the junction of Bayview Road and the Island Highway at approximately 9:00 or 9:30 p.m. They described the object as being close, within a quarter of a mile, and featuring three lights, each with white on top and red on the bottom. Ray Knight, the proprietor of Knight's furniture store, along with his wife and son, also observed an object while driving at roughly the same time. Mr. Knight reported that the object was positioned over Thetis Island. He noted that the object was moving at an extremely high rate of speed, estimating that it covered approximately 20 miles in 20 seconds, which led him to conclude that it could not have been an airplane.
It was much too quick - it covered about 20 miles in that many seconds
