This article from the Spring 1971 issue of the Canadian UFO Report details a series of UFO sightings on Vancouver Island, specifically focusing on an encounter reported by William Bishop in December 1970. Bishop, a salesman, was driving from Shawnigan Lake toward the main highway at 5:30 a.m. when he encountered a brilliant white, diamond-shaped object. The object moved slowly in front of his vehicle, approximately 50 feet away, as if attempting to force him to stop. Despite Bishop's attempts to evade the object by changing his speed, it remained alongside his vehicle, hovering just above the trees for several miles before disappearing near Mill Bay. The author notes that this incident bears a striking resemblance to a sighting that occurred two years prior in Banff, particularly in the object's behavior as a 'self-appointed escort.' The article further reports on a subsequent sighting involving Art Gillam of Duncan, who, within a few nights of Bishop's experience, observed a glowing object approximately four feet in diameter near his home. Gillam, who had previously witnessed a UFO on New Year's Day 1970, attempted to photograph the object, but the resulting print was blank.
