Sighting of Unknown Object - Wollaston Lake Dist., Sask. - 30 JUN 65

This document details an RCMP investigation into a UFO sighting reported by a commercial pilot, [illegible], employed by La Ronge Aviation Co. On June 30, 1965, while flying a Cessna 180 near Deception Lake, Saskatchewan, the pilot observed a circular or oblong object that was silver or white in color. The object appeared to be at an altitude of 15,000 to 20,000 feet above the pilot. After initially appearing to the pilot's right, the object passed over the aircraft and then followed the pilot for nearly 100 miles. The pilot noted that the object had no wings and made no sound. Although the pilot considered the possibility that it was a weather balloon, he expressed doubt because the object moved too fast and did not appear to be affected by the wind. The RCMP interviewed the pilot on July 10, 1965, and concluded that he was a reliable individual who would not fabricate such a story. The file was subsequently closed and forwarded to the La Ronge Detachment.
