Those UFO’S

“Objects of an Advanced World”

This fall, deer hunters not far from Windermere, B.C. watched for several hours as a giant UFO hung below the mountain peaks beaming down brilliant floodlights that lighted the countryside in an awesome manner. Shaken by their experience, they reported the incident to family and friends but met with derision or disinterest. Some felt the hunters suffered delusions, but not Albert Falkenstein. Since. 1968 this hermit prospector has seen three UFO's.

"I'm trying to convince no one, Falkenstein declared, "but I've taken full notes of what I've seen. The first UFO I saw was on August 12, 1968 at 7 p.m. I watch for the deer that come down from the mountains to graze near my cabin and I was using my 15 x 60 Zeis binoculars. Since I have always been interested in astronomy I turned the glasses toward the sky.

"The object must have passed directly over my cabin travelling in a northwest direction. It was about 350 feet in diameter and larger than a jet plane. It was oval in shape and I clearly saw a row of lighted windows around the ship. These windows that appeared to be held together by curved braces - windows that appeared to be about two feet across.

Yellow light glowed from these windows, but at the ends of this large object were two very bright white lights the size of full moons that lighted up the sky and mountain tops. I estimated it was 4000 feet in altitude. I took special note that the lights on this craft did not pulsate, there was no sound that I could detect and there was no vapor trail.

"I followed the object across the sky and had a very good look at it through these powerful glasses and noted the curved grayish-yellow bottom that seemed to be a little translucent, the clearly defined row of windows and those enormous white lights. As soon as it vanished I sat down and made a drawing of the object."

Living alone, Falkenstein had much time to ponder this amazing experience. At last he could stand the excitement of it no longer and he confided the sighting to a friend who is very religious. He told Falkenstein he had viewed the work of the Devil and to put such evil from his mind at once and never mention it again.

"I could see nothing evil in that UFO - in fact I felt uplifted to have seen an object I know must come from a world far advanced beyond our own. I find nothing in my Bible that conflicts with such evidence of life on another planet in fact my Bible tells me to be prepared for such events as UFO's. I told another friend that lived at Princeton."

This friend was George Ilk. Ilk, a very skilled hunter with keen eyesight, listened patiently but told Falkenstein he could accept nothing he'd read or heard about UFO's because he'd never seen one. "When I do.

FALKENSTEIN saw his friend some months later and Ilk said he now believed. He was coming from his spring with a pail of water, climbing up the bank when he looked upward and there directly overhead was the curved bottom of a UFO. It was only about 2000 feet above him sitting there in mid-air wobbling gently in a rocking motion. Ilk was so startled he dropped the pail of water and raced to his cabin for his camera.

As he ran, however, the oval-shaped object flashed away with a sound that was like a blow torch. The thing vanished in about 10 seconds.

On a night in February of 1969 at 3 a.m., Falkenstein opened the cabin window that swung inward so he could study the heavens with his binoculars. There was a very bright object hanging in the sky northwest of his cabin. For exactly 50 minutes Falkenstein watched the UFO hang there glowing with a steady white light. Suddenly it streaked away with an unearthly speed to the northwest.

The third UFO Falkenstein sighted was on July 26, 1974 at 9:30 p.m. "The sun was down and I could see the pale stars in the sky. Again the football-shaped object appeared and once more it carried lights so brilliant they lighted the mountain tops with their radiance. This time the lights were different however for they pulsated.

"I took very special note of those lights; they pulsated every two seconds, the white light giving way to blue, a very dark blue. The object was travelling at great speed to the northwest. I estimated it was 7000 feet in altitude.

“It streaked away with an unearthly speed to the northwest!”

FALKENSTEIN came to Canada 47 years ago from Germany. Always a student his cabin is filled with books on many scientific subjects, but he is first of all a prospector who does his own chemistry on his samples that are later sent out for further examination. Reports from his years of prospecting show he has discovered columbium, niobium, tantalum, copper and some gold and silver. Asked if he feels UFO's are frequenting the area because they might be interested in something in the mountains the hermit shakes his shaggy head smiles.

“I have no idea why they are here. I know only that they are here and I know that these giant ships are from a world far advanced beyond our own. I feel greatly privileged at having seen them myself. It doesn't disturb me that people say I am suffering from cabin fever - that solitude has taken its toll. All new ideas – all new discoveries have been met with hostility and derision.”

Falkenstein picked up his Bible and pointed to many passages shat he feels foretells of visitors from other worlds in flying ships. "It's just common sense - all that nothingness out there has to have something - someone in it and they've got to be smarter than we are. I don't find it disturbing to face the fact that superior worlds exist and are interested in our little world. In fact, I am uplifted by the prospect - watch the heavens hoping for another look at these ships from outer space.

THE small cabin in the beautiful mountain valley is full of books on science. Deeply interested in oceanography, Albert Falkenstein knows the maps of the ocean floors as well as most people know their road maps. He has the mind of a scientist and he consults with scientists. Despite his advanced age he spends his days relentlessly searching for minerals in his valley. His eyes light up as he points with enthusiasm to the ore samples he has brought home for testing - to the reports he has from laboratories confirming his findings.

“I tell you something exciting is about to happen! And it may be our only hope for the future."

"But what does all this matter when one compares it to what is about to happen when our world contacts this superior source of science? Ah, I tell you something exciting is about to happen! And it may be our only hope for the future. Maybe that's why they are out there - they can't trust us to keep the peace and violence on our earth can be a threat to them too. Maybe that's why UFO's are being seen around the world today.

Falkenstein patted the powerful binoculars. "I paid over $200 for them when that money would have bought several lots in Vancouver that would be worth a fortune today. But I am glad I bought the binoculars instead! Through them I have glimpsed the future world through them I have seen something magnificent - something beautiful! Every night I scan the heavens hopefully that a UFO may pass my way again. I tell you something exciting is about to happen in this world: UFO's!"
