July 3, 1970. "About
a week ago", Mr. Daryl Brachat, 22, B.Sc.,
Victoria, B.C., Canada was lying in bed at 11:35
p.m., when suddenly he saw a line of
yellowish-white light about the width of a
fingernail at arm's length, perhaps 3 to 4 miles
away. It quickly darted eastwards, stopped dead,
then retraced its tracks part way, then went off
fast southwards towards Port Angeles, Wash. He
says it might have. been a disc seen on edge.
Mr. Brachat, recently graduated with a B.Sc.
from University of Victoria, B.C. He has often
seen satellites in the night sky; and on that
night, he was scanning the sky southwards in an
attempt to see any satellites that might be
overhead. He knows that what he saw was by no
means a satellite.
