Full Description of Event/Sighting: Late one night probably in January of 1969 my boyfriend and I were out on the logging roads north of the radar site at Holberg, BC. It was cold with a heavy frost on the ground, but no snow.
It was a moonless night and we were out looking for bears, cougars, wolves or whatever we could find. We drove into an active logging site, but all the workers were gone and some equipment was scattered around and we could see the outlines.
We saw a glow in the distance looking like it was coming from the bottom of a pit. As we got closer we could see the light was very bright and so intense it looked like it was spilling over the top of the pit.
The air felt heavy and statically charged. We stopped the truck and opened the windows. No sound was heard, but the light was so bright were both looked at each other and shook our heads. We were probably a couple hundred yards away and could feel a humming (I know that sounds funny, but that was how it was).
We lost our nerve to go any closer and got back in the truck and left. We never spoke of it again. I told somebody once, but they looked at me like I was nuts. We were sober and wide awake. I know what I saw as we drove away into the pitch black we could see the glow in our back window.
The military radar site was located on the top of some very high points. We always wondered if what we experienced was a UFO getting power from the site or just dropping by to snoop on the electronic equipment. I felt no fear or sense of danger.
We went back the next day and the hole was empty! No sign of logging equipment or campers or anything. There was no road into the hold and no tracks. Did we see something from somewhere else?
There was no other valid explanation and no reason for us to make this up. Thanks for letting me tell my story. I would not be upset if I saw something like that again. Maybe I will be lucky enough to have it happen again in my lifetime!
