STATEMENT OF REDACTED

Age REDACTED of Yellowknife, N.W.T.

BEGINS

On June 22nd, 1960 at about 6.00 P.M. I was dropped off at Clan Lake by Wardair Otter. We piled my camp gear on the shore and the plane left. About 20 or 25 minutes after the plane left I heard a noise which sounded to me like a big plane in the distance. I never paid much attention to this noise until it got loud. I looked in the sky but couldn’t see anything. The noise appeared to come from very high up. The noise kept getting louder and louder and I kept watching periodically but could not see anything. I then heard something strike the water and when I turned around I saw a splash and what appeared to be some object with arms or spokes rotating in the water. The object was rotating very rapidly and throwing water. Gradually the object seemed to spin less and finally stopped. After the object stopped there was a backwash which
came over to where I was. This would be about 1700 feet from where the object landed. When my partner, REDACTED came we took the canoe and went over to the spot where the object hit the water. There was grass about 18″ high were the object hit and this appeared burnt on the east, north east side of where the object struck and the rest of the grass around an area of about 20 feet by 60 feet was cut up in small pieces. We felt around with the paddles and a pole and found a channel which corresponded to the cut path of grass. This channel would be about one foot deeper at one end and about three feet deeper at the other than the lake proper. The lake floor appeared to be very much disturbed and the water very muddy. My partner and I went back to the spot on two more occasions and looked and felt around but could not see or feel anything. The object I saw in motion in the water appeared to be about 4 to 6 feet wide. I could not see any color because of the flying water. I did not see any steam when the object hit the water.
