1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Lake McGregor, and on the 9th of August, 1968, a message L.M. Teeth of Lowlands, about five

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,800
miles east of Lake McGregor, for over two hours watched a very brilliant light move up and

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,720
down on Harvard and foreign maneuvers over Lake McGregor.

4
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:34,720
She called her husband and her granddaughter Kathy Richardson, and they all watched it.

5
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,720
They went outside at various times, and when it was dropping, the light, which was intensely

6
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:47,720
blue and white, would become brighter, and it dropped very much faster than the pain

7
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,720
would.

8
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:55,720
So that, uh, it looks as if this vividure is coming back to the reservoir in Southern

9
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Alberta.

10
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:03,720
I've just been talking to her by telephone today, September 29, 1968.

11
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Um, I'm Edwin Eddison, and I'm taking her to Alberta.

12
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:14,720
I was very fixing the highway, and I remember seeing, I'd taken a bear out to the driving,

13
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,720
and I was, I got taken home, and I didn't want to go see that.

14
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,720
I decided to take a few weeks.

15
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,720
It's longer, but at least then you don't have to go around that mess.

16
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,720
I was going down the road, and when I noticed that I got half way down there, I looked, I

17
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,720
was looking at my, my, my, you know, the gauge for the temperature.

18
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,720
It was, it was climbing, it was climbing right over to hot.

19
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,720
I couldn't figure it out because it's never done it before.

20
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,720
So I was gathering the fields, I was trying to put in and shut her off, and then it caught

21
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,720
off, and just get out and look under her and see if I was out of water or something.

22
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,720
So I put in my light, and I just turned the, turned the truck off, and I was in a,

23
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,720
used down to the handle and looked in the door, and I looked out the window, and that's,

24
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,720
that's when I first saw it.

25
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,720
It was a, it was light, being light to it.

26
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,720
I don't really know how long it was, but I could see the top, and it turned out I was

27
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,720
doing shit to it.

28
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,720
And I really had been playing at the time, and it sort of faded out, and I got a steady

29
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,720
beep, beep, beep sound.

30
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,720
And so to get a funny feeling, I was scared, I think, and I went from the east down to

31
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Turn it off, and I only looked at it in a couple of seconds, and I looked back, I had to

32
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,720
see whatever was there, was gone, and it must have been going in tremendous speed, because

33
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,720
anything else, we don't have time to read that fast.

34
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,720
You know, the, you could see the top of it, and it was, could you give me any idea how far

35
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,720
the edges were, or the sides?

36
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,720
I think it was about the size of my cap, and it sounded a bumper detector to the back of

37
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:07,720
the cap, and it was about six feet high, because I could see the top of it, I couldn't see the

38
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,720
side to the bottom, and it was further, further moving back and forth, and it was back, it

39
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,720
was off the ground a little bit, you know, moving there, trying to, just trying to stay

40
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,720
in that one spot, which I'm moving around too much.

41
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Yeah, but that's moving the sides a little bit.

42
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Yeah.

43
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,720
So, the outline was a terrific fuzzy.

44
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:36,720
I could see the top pretty, pretty good, and I couldn't really see the sides, because I

45
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,720
was too far back in the seat, and the top door was closed, and I couldn't see the bottom,

46
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,720
and I had the window close to the track.

47
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,720
You know, I just, this was, seems to be the morning of the third night, wasn't it?

48
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Yes.

49
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,720
And there was a moon that night, I think, before?

50
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Yes, there was a moon that night, because...

51
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,720
So, this thing, instead of the moon might reflecting off, it was going through the green

52
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,720
way.

53
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Yes, and it's home, it was going through the night.

54
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720
What kind of thing did you think it was, through your truck?

55
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Well, I fired up in the window, I think I could have touched it, it was about three

56
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,720
feet from my door, I think, because it was a bit too close.

57
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,720
This glow that I had, how did that compare with the moon might break?

58
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,720
It was a redness greater than this.

59
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,720
I see.

60
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Now, you spoke to your truck over here, has it ever done that thing?

61
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,720
No, it hasn't.

62
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,720
I see.

63
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,720
You see, you couldn't see the sides of the edges, did this pop, slip off at all, toward

64
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,720
the sides, or was it level?

65
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,720
I think it was, I think, the sides sort of felt down at an angle, sort of felt like

66
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,720
it had bent a plate, so like, did you have any feeling other than being frightened, or

67
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,720
you couldn't put words in your mouth, how did you feel?

68
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,720
Well, I was scared, I didn't notice any reactions from it, you know, like, you know, heating

69
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,720
up, you know, hot, hot, or something like this, I was just scared.

70
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,720
I did feel sick after these accounts, but I did dream about it for a week after, especially

71
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:26,720
one night I had a dream that, I get out of truck and they took me away, you know, and

72
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,720
that's when I woke up, I was sort of sweating, you know, I could tell I was just staring

73
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,720
on myself in the dream, because it sort of scared me.

74
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,720
I did dream about it every week though, I mean every day.

75
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,720
Thank you very much.

76
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,720
I'm Mr. Scott, this is DC Scott.

77
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,720
We live in Calgary, but we have a farm in the Southern Alberta.

78
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,720
Two hoops, the Calgary's Dam, close.

79
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,720
Now this is a Subway Dam, it is fed to Lake McGregor and comes down to Moose Valley, and

80
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,720
our building had to be all moved back from the water at the time of the Dam Rantee.

81
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Approximately about a year ago now, just before the Bucks Huntington season opened, the Bucks

82
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,720
were very sick down there because it's quiet and we used the residents only for some of

83
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,720
the youth or some of the classes we found in ourselves.

84
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:32,720
This night we were down there and I was asleep on the first floor in the front room, but

85
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,720
there was a written by a very loud rattling of the screaming door, and it was bothering

86
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,720
me so I got up to close it.

87
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,720
Every night before I went to bed I usually looked toward the east, the house facing

88
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,720
the east, and I looked up to the lake and there's a very loud star up there that I have always

89
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,720
called my star of the east.

90
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,720
This night I looked up and I was fascinated because it was so huge.

91
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,720
I couldn't believe I just wondered, I read my eyes to see if I was seeing things, but

92
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,720
it was all right.

93
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:12,720
I've never seen it so large, and just then it began to drop, and it dropped so fast,

94
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,720
and behind it from where it had dropped was my star of the east, very much smaller and

95
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,720
very much bigger.

96
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,720
I could see this thing coming, it seemed as though it was the valley of the lake, of the

97
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,720
valley of the little bow that is, and that is what the Travis Dam is.

98
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,720
The federal government turned the water from Lake McGregor into the valley of the little

99
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720
bow which formed the Travis Dam.

100
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:41,720
But I watched this thing and it was coming at such a terrific rate, I was scared, and

101
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,720
I began calling to my husband who was awake, and the water all lit up, and there was a

102
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,720
lot of ducks and geese in there at night, and they seemed to just take strike at me,

103
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,720
and it turned dangerous, tackling the noise, and the water all lit up, and I started flapping

104
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,720
at their wings and the honking and the going on, and I kept calling to my husband.

105
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,720
I was so fascinated, I said, oh come quick, hurry up!

106
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,720
And he didn't know, and he wouldn't just run to me, that's an answer, I thought.

107
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,720
So I just kept looking at this thing, but I felt here that it was coming right square

108
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,720
through the house.

109
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:21,720
Well when it got about, I would say about a quarter of a mile away, it just seemed to

110
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,720
turn and veer to the south and take off to the south west again.

111
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,720
Now to do this, the elevation had to be very steep because the banks at this particular

112
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:38,720
place are very high, but it just seemed to know how to escape.

113
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,720
Any object, and it just took right up there and went off and disappeared in feet.

114
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,720
I tried to get my husband up and tried to talk to him about it, and well, he said he

115
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,720
thought that maybe I wanted him to see it, and to hear the noise that the people were

116
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,720
making, although he was in bed, he still could hear this terrible racket and still wouldn't

117
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,720
get up.

118
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,720
But in the meantime, after I did go to bed, I was just joking, so, and it wasn't because

119
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,720
I was cold, it just was something I didn't know how to do, I was just trembling all over,

120
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,720
and I didn't go to sleep for many hours.

121
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,720
That is the only one I have seen down there.

122
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:21,720
We've seen falling meteors and what we thought to be stars, various things, but we've never

123
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,720
seen this object.

124
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,720
Now I have been asked, what is this light?

125
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,720
And the only thing I can say to describe it is, if you have ever met a car on a highway,

126
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,720
with a high beam on, with a white light, well, if you just can imagine putting twelve of

127
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,720
those together in a circle, or in a ball, whichever way you like, and you're looking

128
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,720
right into it, I was standing there and I had to hold my head because my eyes seemed

129
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,720
to be drawn right out of my head.

130
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,720
But anyway, that is the only description that I can give it.

131
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,720
Now, I was so fascinated and so frightened I was wanting to hear if I could hear anything

132
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:06,720
like a motor or what was driving it, and I couldn't on the count of these pieces and

133
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,720
making such a classic, and the honking and the flapping of the wings that I couldn't hear

134
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,720
if there was any motor.

135
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,720
Now, if there was any sound of anything like a plane or a drone or any kind of a sound,

136
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
I got to admit that I could not hear that.

137
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,720
It could have been too for my fear and my nervousness, along with the ducks that may have

138
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,720
heard, maybe, that I couldn't hear anything or couldn't hear any sound.

139
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,720
But any further than that, I couldn't say that I saw any more.

140
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Now, when you speak of 12 headlights, do you mean it was the greatest 12 headlights

141
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,720
combined with one, or did these appear as separate lights from the other?

142
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,720
They were combined as one.

143
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,720
They just seemed to be like one big ball just running into the other.

144
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,720
Could you give me any idea of how the size of the object would compare, let's say,

145
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,720
to the full meaning that has been in that position?

146
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,720
So it has much bigger than that.

147
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Well, I have been asked about how big it was, how far away it was.

148
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:21,720
Now, the only way I can judge about one mile from us is a provincial park on the north side of the dam.

149
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,720
Halfway up from that park is a point to most, which we figure is halfway.

150
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:34,720
Then, in between that halfway point and our home, is a small bay called McCoy Bay.

151
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,720
And it was just round about McCoy Bay that this object appeared and went up over the hill,

152
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,720
so that I would figure it just serves about a quarter of a mile away.

153
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,720
And how far above the water that is, closest to close to me?

154
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Well, it is pretty high to drag, but I would say between 50 to 100 feet.

155
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Now, you spoke of a white light.

156
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,720
There was a very thin, the only thing that stood for you.

157
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Yes, there was kind of a blue, the blue start of the paint.

158
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Something that's a bit of light that we have here in the street, but there was just this kind of a blue-y light.

159
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Do you remember where the conditions were, the clouds were clear?

160
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,720
No, it was a very nice, bright, starlight night.

161
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,720
That's why I was looking up.

162
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,720
It wasn't bright.

163
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,720
It was a dark night, but there was a great many stars there.

164
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,720
And that is when I stood there before I went to bed and looked at the star of the night, and then again, made it.

165
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:31,720
Now, when it lit up the wall, would you say it was as bright as a full moon or in the middle of the water?

166
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Yes, it would be.

167
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:41,720
It would be here by the vast, except the whole moon usually makes a gold night, but this makes kind of a whole light.

168
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Do you mind if I use this on the radio, perhaps?

169
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:53,720
No, if you would care to, if I could help a call and anything that might be very infertible to you, if I would ideally go ahead.

170
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,720
I'll put it to very much for you to start.
