           Wednesday afternoon the well known kindergarten teacher,
Mrs. C.E. BELLAMY, and another local lady were walking eastward along
CHAPLIN just about 3 o’clock on their way to the farewell tea for
Mrs. DM BURNS at United Church. Suddenly they saw strange disc-like
silvery objects high in the sky in a north-easterly direction. They
both saw “flying saucers”, or their interpretation of them. They were
startled and surprised. At first they thought it might be pigeons.
The strange objects were like flying saucers, a string of them, gyrating,
oscillating and weaving among each other as they sped across the bright
blue cloudless sky.

          Excited Mrs. BELLAMY waved down a passing Tripp Lumber Co.
truck, and asked them to perceive this strange thing. Jim ANDERSON,
Bill BRIDEWELL and Jake WIEBE who were in the truck saw and marvelled too.
There could be no question about the authenticity of what they saw, the
five of them. The ladies lost sight of the strange objects eventually,
but as the truck drove away the men saw them again.

           The ladies are estimable and reputable women, well known
here. Neither of them could be challenged as having been “drinking”
in the sense of the word. The only drinking they were going to do was
at the farewell tea. Again we say, there can be no question of their
veracity in this matter for there were actually five witnesses. “If there
is such a thing as Flying Saucers” says the ladies, “we actually saw them.”

           There is still lots of confusion and argument about the
Flying Saucers. One strange thing about the SWIFT CURRENT incident on 
Wednesday was that the three men in the truck saw one of these flying
objects suddenly plunge to the earth and disappear, in the direction of
Rush Lake. (We hope that doesn’t cause a stampede out Rush Lake way to
find the object.)
