I
was astounded by what I viewed...and here it is. What
I saw was an enormous dark structure, almost filled up
the whole site that was a few hundred ft wide. To me,
it looked like the size of a football stadium; it was
long, thin, rounded edges, lights placed strategically
along the top edge, casting shallow light downward.

Description and Details
"Back
in 1983-4, I was living with my boyfriend of several years,
Andy, in a rather remote area, an old logging camp with
about 8 residences, just 10 miles north west of Sooke,
Vancouver Island. One mid summer's night around dusk,
as I was out back with garden chores, I could hear an
almost undiscernable low hum; I could feel the sound more
then hear it. I went to fetch Andy from the house to see
if he could hear it, commenting on what a strange sound
it was. We decided to investigate together. As we had
lived there for several years, we were quite familiar
with the area, which was approx. ½ mile from the
ocean, past our logging camp, that would be gated off
during forest fire season. There were many connecting
back roads consisting of crown lands and logging lots,
most of which date back forty years. Not far back in from
the gate was a forty-foot sand dune with small bushes
on top and just past that was an old logging landing,
consisting of a large gravel area several hundred feet
wide and long. We actually approached the site through
our backyard, through a trail that came upon a small gravel
road that ran ajacent to the gated road. The sound increased
as we traveled in the near dark; we were very quiet. As
we approached the cross roads, we could see lights coming
from ahead where we know the flat landing site to be.
We decided to head up the back of the sand dune where
we could get a good view unnoticed. On tummies, we crept
and peered over the top. I was astounded by what I viewed...and
here it is. What I saw was an enormous dark structure,
almost filled up the whole site that was a few hundred
feet wide. To me, it looked like the size of a football
stadium; it was long, thin, rounded edges, lights placed
strategically along the top edge, casting shallow light
downward. I was shocked to see nobody around , not a soul,
not a recognisable vehicle anywhere."
"The
sound was still louder but so strange, I've never heard
anything like it before or since; so low, you could feel
it in the ground. I became a little scared at this point,
but could not peel my very wide eyes away for a second,
all the time confirming to each other what we were seeing
in very hushed tones. Suddenly, and my heart jumps at
just recalling it, one of the lights beamed on us so quick
and with blinding intensity that we both jumped back from
it in startled surprise, then we ducked just as quickly
and ran home the short way. If we didn't have that sand
dune to hide upon, that light would have blinded one real
fast. The next day early, we decided to check that out
again. To my utter disbelief, at 6 a.m. the following
morning, there was no sign of what we had seen. My mind
was totally blown when around us was not a tire mark or
footprint or any marks from the massive legs that held
up this structure, and yet, as we walked around, we were
leaving footprints. I asked the neighbors later if they
heard that strange low hum; one neighbor, Art Shore, an
old resident of the logging camp told me, 'oh those are
military operations; they perform sometimes'. That might
have made sense if one could have seen a convoy of trucks,
like I'd seen before and people on the site, but in view
of it now, nothing was ever explained adequately. I never
reported to anyone else. As you might have guessed, it
had a huge inpact on me as even after 20 years, it's as
fresh a memory as it was the morning following. I have
had a few other strange unexplained happenings in my life
before and I guess I just chalked it up to "here
we go again..."

Other
Comments
"I
could probably draw a pretty accurate drawing of it; most
people would discribe it as cigar-shaped. I don't know
what it was but I'm not convined at all that it had anything
to do with our military. I know we have nothing as advanced
as what we saw, and no people on the site....right!! I
wished I could have stayed up all that night to watch
the skies, but I didn't.....never saw it in flight but
there's no other explanation to me as how it got there
and left so quick, without any visible marks, other then
to have flown in??"
