Pelly woman tells of UFO sighting
by Stephanie Waddell

For Leah Isaac, a strange encounter with the third kind on March
30 made a believer out of the former skeptic.

The episode, meanwhile, is attracting the interest of the
American media.

"I can't even travel at night anymore," the Pelly Crossing
resident told the Star in Whitehorse this morning.

Shortly after 5 a.m. on the day in question, Isaac was
travelling to Pelly from Whitehorse along the North Klondike
Highway with a friend when they came around a corner at Little
Fox Lake to a sight neither had seen before.

About 15 to 22 metres (50 to 75 feet) away was a disc-shaped
aircraft hovering about 60 metres (200 ft.) off the ground.

"It was silver and transparent," she noted. "It was like a
mirror. It was almost like you could see right through the
craft.

"It's so hard to explain because you never see that kind of
material. It's almost like you can see right through it."

Inside the craft appeared a blue, turquoise colour, but she did
not see a pilot nor anyone in the craft which she noted was "so
advanced.

"I was really scared, but I was really shocked when I've seen
it," Isaac said. "We were both shaking."

Isaac's analog watch stopped, while another friend's digital
watch went into chrono mode, the truck's tape deck stopped and
the lights on her vehicle dimmed.

"Everything went dead," she said.

Isaac reported the craft seemed to be somewhat confused at their
presence. After about five seconds, it shot in front of their
vehicle and stopped instantly on the left side of the road.

Isaac reported that she had never seen anything move so fast,
and it made no noise.

"I think if it wanted to hurt us, it probably would've," she
said.

As Isaac kept driving through the experience, her eyes were
peeled on the site, while her friends told her to "floor it."

They took off after the craft disappeared and didn't look back
for fear that it would follow them. It was about five minutes
before the watches began working again and 10 minutes before the
tape player resumed working.

"I was driving really fast, as fast as I ever drove, and then
when we stopped somewhere, we were just shaking."

When they got to Pelly, they began laughing about the event and
their reactions to it.

"I didn't even watch where I was driving," she said. "It's just
funny now that you think about it."

Although Isaac and her friend had initially agreed not to tell
anyone, before they got into Pelly, they changed their minds.

When Isaac arrived at her mother's house in Pelly, she
immediately drew a picture of the craft, wrote about it and
began telling her mother the story.

"She was really excited, too."

Isaac also contacted other friends and family that day to tell
them about her experience. While some say she "has made up a
good story," others believe her. There have been numerous
sightings around Fox Lake over the years.

"It's reality. I'm just telling people what I'd seen."

In the three weeks since the experience, she has spoken with the
media, including a Los Angeles radio station, in hopes that
others will come out with their own stories.

Although she's still scared to drive alone at night, it has
tweaked her curiosity and changed the way she views things.

"I think people should be aware of what's going on in the
Yukon," she said. "There's more sightings now than ever."

Before the experience, she was skeptical of other life in the
universe, but now she is curious to know what's out there and
has considered going back to the site early in the morning to
see if she can find out more. She's curious as to why the ship
was lingering near telephone poles.

"Our universe is so big, there must be something out there," she
said.
