More Sightings in Mill Bay — January 16, 1970

This report documents a series of UFO sightings occurring in Mill Bay, British Columbia, on January 16, 1970, as investigated by Garry Jopko of the Canadian Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. The report details accounts from four witnesses. Mrs. Clarke initially observed an amber-colored light that she mistook for a plane, noting the absence of navigation lights. Her husband, Mr. Clarke, subsequently observed the object moving slowly from the north to the southeast. He described it as balloon-shaped with four or five lights near the bottom and a ray of light curving from the bottom to the top, eventually disappearing behind trees. Mrs. Orland, a third witness, observed a group of cars stopped by the road and was alerted to the object by two men. She reported a faint odor of gunpowder while outdoors. A fourth witness, Roger Peters, a teenager, expressed skepticism, suggesting the object was a plastic bag with candles inside. He described the object as motionless and noted seeing something resembling burning paper falling from it before the light suddenly extinguished.
