Sir:

My husband and I enjoy your magazine very much. It is very interesting reading, especially the editorials and drawings are good. I told you two years ago (see Letters, vol. 1, no. 5) when I saw a UFO between the peaks of Mt. Arrowsmith in 1962.

Meanwhile - but that is two years back - in May 1970 both my husband and I saw something that we at the time didn't think worth mentioning to you because my husband claimed it could have been a weather balloon. I will let you decide about it as it doesn't leave my mind.

We are living adjacent to the Englishman's River Falls Park. Our next neighbor to the north is 1½ miles off. From my living-room window I am looking toward the south at the sidehills of Mt. Moriarty. | know when I look in that direction there might not be another human being before the Olympic Mountains (as the crow flies).

One night around 11 o'clock I looked out from a small room off the kitchen toward south-west and there I saw a red ball gliding along. It looked like a shining red round lamp. Nothing undulating, no noise - and it seemed to glide just above and between our fruit trees, very slow. I wasn't alarmed, I felt nothing. When I got my husband off his TV I just saw it disappearing behind a big tree. Very disappointing for me because I wanted my husband to see it.

The next week at around the same time I came into the kitchen and there the same ball was hanging between some cedar trees about 100 yards from the house, this time north-west. The first time I saw it, it was flying from east to west. I was running in and out from kitchen to living-room, thinking "if I call Jack it will just have disappeared and I waited for at least a half-hour before my husband came out (without my telling him). He burst out "What's that?" and now we watched that "lamp" for about five minutes and then it just seemed to fade away. My husband claimed it had something bluish while disappearing, but I couldn't see that. Funny thing, though, that we both had no feeling of fear or alarm being so alone out here in our wilderness. When I looked in daytime I thought it could of course have been much further away and much bigger than about the size of a football.

Another time in daytime and bright sun, around one o'clock, we both saw from the car a very bright nearly blinding light in those sidehills. We looked towards south, just passing our neighbor, and the sun was standing in that direction. I said "Maybe there is a logging road and the sun is shining on the windows of a truck," but my husband claimed that couldn't be possible.

Well, I have been reading about power stations for UFOs and all kinds of speculation, but don't you think that those advanced beings wouldn't need our electricity? That they on the contrary should know everything about us, as long as they seem to have been with us, maybe thousands of years? I really believe that the "sons of God" mentioned in the Bible came with those flying saucers. And that the universe can have so many far advanced civilizations that we see different kinds of vehicles and beings, maybe good and bad... for how can we explain attacks on people otherwise? If we were able to fly around the universe in the low state of advancement we are in now, wouldn't it be terrible for beings on other worlds?

I often have been wondering it telepathy is not really involved, even in our case here. I was so deeply disappointed when I saw that "lamp" flying through our garden (as it seemed) without my husband seeing it, and after I had been looking every evening again and thinking how wonderful it would be if he could see it, it came back and waited until my husband did see!

But why out here in this wilderness, if it really was a UFO? It was definitely not an airplane, the way it was moving very slow and quiet, and the next time just hanging between those trees.

Thanks for very thought-provoking reading. We wouldn't miss your Canadian UFO Report at all.
