Date: 1979 (?)
Time: Evening.
Hi Brian. I'm watching
the 1970's movie Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. As every UFO movie I watch
it reminds me of the various unexplained encounters I've witnessed in my life.
One in particular I want to share with you is from what I recollect as the late
1970's in Smithers B.C. My guess 1979.
I have searched online and found nothing of what I recollect. First about me,
I'm currently 47, I was born and raised in Smithers, British Columbia. I was
somewhere between 8 and 13 at the time of this event.
To my recollection it
was winter time, I recall going home after playing outside with friends and as
we got nearer to the houses we saw people coming out of their houses, all
looking to the east, away from Bulkley mountain towards Babine mountains. Yes
this was a big event, was even in the paper, the Interior News.
There were even photos
if I recall correctly. There were multiple lights far off in the distance, high
up like above the tree line on The Babine mountains. As far away Babine
mountain is from Smithers the lights where miles long, all parallel and seeming
to circumnavigate the mountain peak, it's along time ago, I recall hundreds of
lights and they were revolving in line around the peak. In the days following
and in the local paper" Interior News" there were pictures and an
explanation that it was a snowmobile party.
There were snowmobiles
in them days but the likelihood seemed odd, far away, limited roads, multiple
lights? Anyway I was hoping in your stories you've heard, you may have heard
this or may have a contact to verify? Again I believe multiple residents,
hundreds witnessed this with it hitting the paper. Thank you.
