| 2003 YUKON UFO SIGHTINGS
14-Jan-2002, Whitehorse: 7:45am
A man was driving to work Tuesday morning and coming down Mountainview
Drive. The lights of Whitehorse could be seen in the foreground
but a very bright stationary light caught the man's attention up
in front of Gray Mountain. He watched it for about 5 seconds, looked
at the road in front of him and turned his gaze back to the light
on the Mountain. The light was still there. It remained motionless
for about a second then it moved in sort of a half circle and then
up into the cloud toward the northwest (toward Lake Laberge). "It
was gone in a second," the man said. Although he was the only
witness that reported the sighting, others should have seen it since
traffic was quite heavy at that time. It was still dark with low
hanging clouds, no stars, and the outline of Gray Mountain could
be seen. The object was a very bright point of light, larger than
a star. The duration of the sighting was 5-10 seconds. The distance
to Gray Mountain is about 12 km. - documented by Hans Grasholm
15-Jan-2003, North of Pelly Crossing: 8:45 pm
Sue Malcolm and Sarah Baker were driving from Whitehorse to Dawson.
They were just a few kilometers north of Pelly Crossing and before
Jackfish Lake. The moon was shining through a hole in the clouds
from behind them but the sky was overcast in front. No stars could
be seen and there were no cars travelling behind them. Uncharacteristically,
their large dog jumped from the back seat to the front and sat between
the sisters. Suddenly right smack in front of them Sue observed
a bright white egg shaped object " it went by at a tremendous
speed" east to west just above treetop level. It went by so
fast that Sarah missed seeing it. Shortly after, the dog started
to look up at the roof of the car as if concerned that something
was above them. The dog has never behaved in this manner before
and there is no sunroof in the car. Sue placed her hand on the windshield
and determined that the object was 5 inches (12.5 cm) at arms length
and appeared to travel horizontally at about one third down from
the top of the windshield. The blunt end of the object was the part
travelling forward. Sue couldn't tell if the tapered end shape was
due to the actual shape of the object or due to a blur from its
speed. She estimates that the object went across the road about
1000 ft (300m) in front of them. Sue characterized the light coming
from the object as "misted" like it had "condensation
on the inside". The duration of the sighting was less then
1 or 2 seconds.
20-Feb-2003, Carcross Cut-off (Mary Lake): 9:15pm
Object: Bright light, about three times larger than a star. Distance
unknown. Witnesses spotted the object above them going in a East
to West direction, faster than an airplane. It suddenly split into
two objects with one continuing in the same direction, the other
reversing in the direction it came from. They lost sight of the
objects in the trees. The sighting lasted about one and half minutes.
21-Feb-2003, Mayo, Yukon: 3:00am
Witness was letting the dog out when she spotted a light flying
above the tree tops, flashing bluish-green and very bright, sometimes
like a welding torch. It was going erratic across the trees and
seemed to go back and forth over an open space in the forest like
it was looking for something. At the same time, another light appeared
further away, and the witness decided to get the binoculars out.
By then, she thought the first object was further away, and focusing
on the other object with the binoculars, she thought she could see
a dark shadow, much larger than the light itself. The whole sighting
lasted about 25 minutes before she lost sight of both objects disappearing
behind the treetops. The witness reported having a strange feeling,
like she almost had the impression that "they" knew she
was watching.
She reported the sighting to the RCMP, who confirmed the report
coming in at 03:25. RCMP had no other reports, and they did not
see anything.
Mayo Airport, which is manned at that time, did not see anything,
but their windows are facing away from Mayo Town site.
21-Feb-2003, Whitehorse (Riverdale), Yukon: 7:00am
Object: Oval shaped, the size of a Loonie at arms length. Lights
flashing around the edge of the object in a pale-green-blue-purple
color. The witness saw the object out of bedroom window and thinks
it came from the direction of the fish ladder and going in a straight
line (S-E to N-W) and disappearing over Grey Mountain. She said
object was up high enough that it did not have to change direction
to clear the top of the mountain. The sighting lasted about 4 minutes.
Whitehorse Airport reported that there were no planes in the air
at that time.
22-Feb-2003, Whitehorse (Riverdale), Yukon: 7:00am
Repeat of 21 Feb in Whitehorse (Riverdale) sighting by same witness.
23-Feb-2003, Mayo, Yukon: 11:00pm
Witness saw a bright light fly by, stop and hover and then move
up and down in the same spot. Witness felt uncomfortable and went
in and locked the door. Same witness as Mayo 21 Feb sighting.
24-Feb-2003, Mayo, Yukon: not sure of the time
Repeat of 23-Feb-2003, Mayo, Yukon: 11:00pm by same witness.
25-Feb-2003, Mayo, Yukon: 11:00pm
Repeat of 23-Feb-2003 and 24-Feb-2003, Mayo, Yukon by same witness.
26-Feb-2003 Whitehorse, Yukon: 3:19pm
The witness on Hickory St. in Porter Creek was driving to work and
looked at a contrail from a high-flying jet when she spotted a stationary
black object above the contrail. She suspected a yellow light coming
from the object was the reflection of the sun. The object was very
small and actual shape was hard to judge due to reflection coming
from the object. She had to watch the traffic on the road, and the
object was gone when she looked back at it. She did not see it leave.
The total time of sighting was about 45 seconds.
