Wife’s Account:

This happened Wednesday, October 30. We had just turned off Boundary Road onto the Grandview Highway when Wayne drew my attention to some lights in the sky. I saw them through the windshield, and Mrs. Sallows, who was in the back seat, said she could see them too.

There were four lights in a diamond-shaped formation – the last one further behind the others and appeared to be moving slowly, but I wasn’t sure in the moving car. They were in front of us to the east, and a little on the right.

I asked Wayne to stop the car so we could see if they were moving or not. He had to continue approximately two blocks before he could find a place to pull off. He drove into an area between the road and the screen of the Cascadia Drive-In Theatre. By then they were almost overhead. They didn’t seem to move toward us, and that made me think they must be quite low – because of the big difference a couple of blocks made.

Wayne and I got out of the car to have a look, but Mrs. Sallows stayed inside. When we got out I could see they were moving. Then Wayne said there was another one coming and pointed. It was coming quite fast from the south. I looked back at the first four and they had stopped travelling north. They were just moving around a little – one would move and then stop, then another, then two and so on. They no longer were in formation and seemed to be sort of aimless. When the fifth one reached them it stopped. They kept coming and coming until there were ten. They all seemed to follow exactly the same path and would come in straight and fast until they reached the others and then start the same sort of wandering. They would just hang there, then move a little and stop again. They moved in all different directions, but didn’t get any higher or lower.

After a couple more had arrived I noticed the first four weren’t shining as brightly. They were an oval shape and were a light yellow with an orange tint. When they got dimmer they lost the yellow look and were a sort of dull orange. They also seemed to be flying tilted.

(When we first saw them I thought they were things with oval lights on them, but afterwards I began to think maybe each object was glowing itself, and if they were circular and seen from an angle they would appear oval.)

After several had come in I ran back to the ca and asked Mrs. Sallows if she could see them. She said she could see it all. She was watching through the right-hand back window.

When the tenth light started to come in I decided to drive home for my camera and binoculars, hoping to get a picture or at least a better look. As I was driving away Wayne called out that there was another one coming in, but I didn’t stop. Driving back down Boundary Road I kept glancing back at them, and they were not much higher than the top of the Burnaby General Hospital which is on a low hill. I think if anyone in the hospital was watching they would have had a very good view of them. While driving home I thought about phoning A.P.R.O. in case they had an investigator in Vancouver who might be able to see them too.

By the time I got back to them they were gone.

The whole time we watched I heard no sound from them at all. A couple of times when there was no traffic going by I paid particular attention but still heard nothing. They were up there a little over half an hour altogether, because Wayne looked at his watch after we’d been watching for a few minutes and it said 8:15, and he said it was 8:45 when they were out of sight.

November 1, approximately 11:45. To the north of our house we saw a pale yellow light, quite bright, coming south. It appeared to stop, then brightened up and dropped a yellow ball of light. The ball dropped straight down a way, then went out suddenly. The first light started to move again going west, but it was now blinking off and on rhythmically. After a few seconds it just went out. We watched it for less than a minute.

Husband’s Account:

I was driving my mother home to Hope, BC and as I turned off Boundary Road onto the Grandview Highway I saw four lights in the sky and asked my wife if she had seen them. She said that she had and to pull over for a better look. But it took about four blocks before I could pull over (in front of the Cascade’s Drive-In Theatre) and get out for a better look. We could see that they were moving very slow in a formation like a diamond. Then they seemed to stop and we noticed a fifth one coming quite fast. When it got up to the first four it slowed down and they seemed to dim. My wife said she was going to go home to get her camera and binoculars but just then a sixth one came alone quite fast and then another and another until there were ten. My wife got into the car and started to drive away and I said here comes another one. I went to phone my sister-in-law and my mother-in-law in case they could see them. When I got back they were still there but dim. Then a bigger one came quite fast and the smaller ones seemed to brighten up and encircle the big one. The big one gave two bright flashes and the smaller ones shot away in different directions and circled around and then all headed toward the northeast very fast and disappeared. They seemed to be an oblong shape, bigger in the front and at a slight angle. The bigger one was about this much bigger. There was no sound from the lights.

The small lights were about the size of a street light about three blocks away and the big one was about the size of a street light one block away. By the way, they were about, I would say, not quite ½ a mile high.
