Circle over New Westminster, BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My 9 year old daughter noticed it first. Then we all looked up and saw it. It was very high in the sky. We have videos from 2 different cell phones. The one I'm uploading zooms in on it. It was moving strangely. Erratic but controlled at same time. We thought maybe a drone or balloon but too big and the strange glow? The light surrounded it, almost like a shield for lack of a better term. Also the movement was so bizarre. The event lasted 5-6 minutes then it shot backwards and up and disappeared into the clouds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171295). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Canadian military and radar records answer to the Access to Information Act; historic UFO files are held by Library and Archives Canada. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
