NANAIMO, British Columbia-Of the 18 unidentified flying objects reported in British Columbia in 1989, 36 percent were from Vancouver Island, a specialist in UFOs said Friday.
|
|
Michael Strainic, provincial director for the Mutal UFO Network, said Vancouver Island is a region which consistently reports UFOs.
|
|
The network tries to keep track of UFO sightings and attempts to explain them.
|
|
Strainic said the most recently reported sighting on the Island occurred Jan. 30, 1989, at around 10 p.m.
|
|
"It looked like an aircraft on fire, it was traveling in a southeasterly direction and it wasn't moving blindingly fast," said Nanaimo resident Donovan Jeglum, who reported seeing the object.
|
|
Jeglum said he phoned the airport authorities to see whether there were any planes in the area at the time and was told that there were not.
|
|
"Although more than 90 per cent of reports can be explained by a trained investigator, there are a small number of cases that defy explanation," Strainic said.
