Sir:

This is an unsubstantiated report of a UFO as told to me by my son Barry. He had seen a shiny metallic disc on a snowfield while plowing the Big Bend highway in the winter of 1969-70, north of Revelstoke, B.C. A fellow worker was in the truck with him at the time.

They watched the disc for about 20 minutes, then had to continue with their plowing. About two hours later they returned past that spot and found it had disappeared. No one believed their story when they returned to camp and they were laughed at. My son said then he'd never tell anyone if he saw another UFO.

Last fall he returned home from a day’s hunting for deer at the 4000-4500 foot elevation in the vicinity of Sicamous, B.C. He told me this story and said he would tell me but no one else.

He said he was walking through a sparsely wooded area and had a strange feeling of being watched. A little later the feeling became so strong he stopped and looked all around, then looked up. Directly above him a large cylindrical or spherical object hovered. He had a 30-30 carbine rifle but no shell in the chamber. He panicked and tried to lever a shell into the chamber. He was going to take a shot at it. The lever would not move and he stood and watched helplessly.

After a time lapse which seemed like 10 minutes but which was probably less than a minute, the object moved slowly and silently off. He watched till it was lost to sight in the distance, then remembered the rifle and tried the lever. It worked!

The disc appeared to be several hundred feet above him and a very bright silvery color. He is a matter-of-fact young man and not given to fantasies or deceitful stories.
