Sir:

First, I would like to congratulate the staff and editors of Canadian UFO Report on their material thus far published! Every thought for success goes out to you.

Personally, my experience with UFO's has included limited but numerous sightings, mainly on the North and West Vancouver scene. I have within my files several statements given to me from people here who have sighted UFO activity during the year of 1968. I would like to take the time in the future to write an article on same, but first and foremost I am waiting for a color slide to be processed of a UFO. This photo was taken by myself, early this year, just outside of our apartment balcony. The "lite" itself was over the area of West Vancouver, and near the water-line. Every time I had my camera lined up to take a picture of the "lite" it would seem to dim and disappear, only to reappear as soon as I had gone inside. Finally, with great patience, I managed to snap it while it was brilliant. I took photos of the stars in the sky near it, and the comparison is great! Unless I am mistaken, the photos should prove interesting. There were witnesses to the activity of the brilliant "lite," which was making its appearance nightly for some weeks in January and February of this year!

Being somewhat busy with astrology readings and holding meetings which relate to psychic realms, I have neglected my UFO research of 1968 and 1967. Since coming across your magazine this interest has once again picked up and I sincerely hope that sometime in the future I may be a contributor to same.

A note of interest here: on January 11, 1967, at Sechelt, B.C., a five-man crew and a four-year old tugboat, the Gulf Master, disappeared. There seemed to be no apparent reason why it should have sunk, the same as another tug in the area, did less than a month before!

Since I do not take the newspaper or listen to the news too often during my busier days, I have not been kept up to date on most happenings. Yet it seems to me that last week another tug went down, with one body being recovered, but no trace of the others or the tug. Last, it seems that a numerous amount of UFO sightings have taken place near the area whereby the tugs have gone down. It might be worth looking into and writing an article on, since you people operate from the island.

Once again, my congratulations on your magazine.
