 On 
                      an unspecified date in late summer or fall of 1972, a witness 
                      who insists upon remaining unidentified was walking near 
                      Lake Maniwaki in the Province of Quebec, Canada, when he 
                      came upon a huge cone-shaped object apparently resting upon 
                      the ground or else hovering very close to it. It was of 
                      very large size, 60 to 70 feet tall, and as he came into 
                      view, it began to rise. He quickly opened his camera and 
                      snapped a picture of the strange aircraft on black and white 
                      negative film as it continued to ascend upward towards the 
                      clouds above. The photograph was made with a 35mm hand held 
                      camera in what looks like late mid- afternoon time. This 
                      strange object was ice-cream-cone shaped, and of about the 
                      same profile and proportions as the Mesa, Arizona; Ipamari, 
                      Brazil and Cocoyoc, Mexico craft, but here, the similarity 
                      ended. This one was flying with the point of the cone UP 
                      and the large end down. It looked metallic and was of a 
                      silvery color with 12 seemingly fluorescent or somewhat 
                      light-radiating globes positioned around the bottom that 
                      also looked metallic, and four more around the top that 
                      were of a slightly different color and also seemingly light-radiating. 
                      The twelve lower globes around the rim of the widest part 
                      were of a sort of reddish-orange hue and the smaller ones 
                      around the top just below the point were a little more pinkish 
                      in color. The rest of the surface of the object was not 
                      marred by seams, mating lines, rivets or fasteners, and 
                      had no ports or protrusions, or details of any kind, seemingly 
                      made all in one piece, and there were no markings of any 
                      kind visible. The 
                      witness has now disappeared and nobody who knew him has 
                      been able to trace his whereabouts. There is no indication 
                      as to whether other photos were made or whether the witness 
                      had any contact with the craft. The original negative was 
                      sent to someone in the United states and has become lost. |
