UFO HOVERS IN FRONT OF CAR

Mr. Harold Howery, a Hanna, B.C. merchant, saw an object around August 7th while traveling west from Revelstoke. He was on vacation with his family. According to Mr. Howery, It was late at night with an overcast sky when the object was seen. He ruled out the possibility of either car light or aircraft due to the object's movements.

Mr. Howery said that the object came low very quickly from the south, and hovered around 60 feet in front and above the car. It swung from side to side like the end of a pendulum while following the car. Mr. Howery said he varied the speed of the car and even stopped once to see what the object would do, and It remained In a hovering position. The UFO hovered for a distance of around three miles and then took off out of sight southward at a high rate of speed.

It was described as being one large light, of a light blue shade. "It looked Just like the beacon on a watchtower," he said. He calculated the light to be around 30 feet in diameter and said it was not so much of a beam as a glowing light There was no noise or electrical disturbance nor did it approach any closer to the car than 60 feet above and in front. His wife also witnessed the strange object.
