11. Statments taken during the course of this investig-
ation attached hereto. One copy of each of these statements
were handed to F/Lt.M.FILYK for the information of the RCAF.
12. From the information gathered from the various eye-
witnesses to the U.F.O. it is my opinion that this was not
a meteor, but rather some type of craft which is under power
and controlled. Capt. R.E.BARNES, U.S.A.F. cheif pilot at
Puntzi Mountain Air Base, during the early stages of this
investigation advanced the theory that this object could have
been a booster rocket off a missile. However, from all the
conjecture there is in this matter, nothing definite is known
regarding this U.F.O. which passed over this area, and unless
F/Lt.FILYK is able to come up with any enlightening information
in his subsequent investigation, it is thought it will remain
a mystery.
13. The chaff dispenser tank which was located on Skinner
Mountain was made the subject of exhibit report on form C.246,
Detachment exhibit report No. 62/24. Dispenser was turned over
to F/Lt.FILYK and receipt obtained for same, attached hereto.
14. Due to the great number of hours spent in this invest-
igation to date, and the very remoted possibility of any
further valuable information coming to hand, this investigation
is being discontinued at this point, but will be re-opened
should any valuable information be received.
15. Telex messages K3658 - K3681 - PG4519 - E10863 - K3700
and K3902 refer.
