| Whitehorse, Y. T. November 19, 1975, 4:15 AM Whitehorse, Y.T. - An unidentified flying object lit up a lake in the Yukon with bright white light and followed a White Pass ore truck, according to driver Arnold Emslie. "Emslie, 28 of Whitehorse, said Tuesday that he and partner Richard Ross were carrying a load of lead from Cypress Anvil mine about 4:15 AM. Sunday when they saw the object. "They were at Mile 31.5 of the Klondike Highway north of Whitehorse, beside Fox lake, when Emslie looked into his rear view mirror and saw an object swooping down from the sky. "It positioned itself about 150 feet in the air, above the rear of the trailer. he said it was oblong shaped, about 300 feet wide and so bright that he had to take his eyes from the mirror." 'It hurt my eyes, just like looking into the sun, ' Emslie said. the sky lit up so great that I could see right across Fox lake. It was bright as day.' "He said that until the object came it was dark, cloudy and snowing a bit. the distance across the lake was about three quarters of a mile, he said. "The light that the object cast across the lake appeared to have a bluish tinge to it, he said, while the rest of the area was lit up with white light. "It was unbelievable, the day light, he said. "The brightness lasted about 15 seconds at most, he said, before the UFO took off at a speed so great that it receded in size in about three or four seconds to the size of the moon. "I've never been more frightened by anything in my whole life, Emslie said. Two hours later, I was still shaking. "The dam thing was 300 feet at least in diameter. It was bigger than a DC-8 ... this thing was monstrous, he said. "Neither man noticed any sound while the object was following the truck, but vehicle noise could have drowned any out, he said. He added that when they pulled into the weigh scales at Whitehorse, the attendant there said he had seen the light as well." This Account was taken From The Vancouver Newspaper, The Province, November 19, 1975 Fort Providence, NWT August 1976 The object was a bright white light, similar to the flame of an acetylene torch. It was first noticed just above the western horizon. It was traveling in an easterly direction. It was estimated to have been 70 degrees elevation from the horizon as it passed by Fort Providence. There was no sound or change in altitude or direction. The witness is unable to estimate altitude. It's speed was estimated to be twice the speed of a high flying jet airliner traffic. The sighting lasted approximately 20 seconds. The object appeared to explode with lots of sparks east of Fort Providence then the light eventually gradually faded out. Prior to the sighting of this object, observers noticed a similar object, less intensity but roughly was traveling the same speed heading in the direction north to south for a period of 3 seconds. This object burnt out overhead. Three minutes after the object seem to burn out overhead, the witnesses noticed a small flashing white light traveling west to east, unable to estimate altitude. No noise. West Of Yellow Knife August 1776 This object was reported from outside the observers home. The object was teardrop shaped, a very bright, slightly bluish glowing white light. It was estimated to be 20 - 30 miles, at an elevation of 25 degrees, west of Yellow Knife, traveling in an easterly direction. There was no sound. No change in altitude or direction during the observation. It's speed was estimated to be three to four times faster than that of a local jet airliner traffic. The length of the sighting was approximately 30 to 40 seconds. The object light intensity did not vary during observation. A spark appeared at the tail end, then the object instantly disappeared. Local airport officials report no aircraft movements at the time of the observation, however they did receive, by persons unknown, one telecom reporting a meteorite at the same time period, but this was not seen by airport staff. (name deleted) feels quite positive that the object they observed was not a meteorite because of it's horizontal flight path. |
