ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE

REDACTED – B: REDACTED, Yellowknife, N.W.T.
Report of Strange Object Striking Clan Lake, Clan Lake Dist. N.W.T.
(YELLOWKNIFE DETACHMENT CASE)
19-7-60
With reference to the above and to previous report submitted in this connection, please be advised that on this date an aerial patrol was made to the scene of this unusual occurrence. From observations from the air and from the pontoons of the plane it would appear that an object did land on the East side of Clan Lake, however, nothing could be found. The place where this object is supposed to have landed is a cove which is grown up for a considerable distance from the shore with the usual type of water reeds which are common in all lakes in this area. There is a space approximately twelve feet wide and forty feet long where the reads are completely gone and the water in this space slightly deeper. The Lake bottom in this area is soft black mud and is of considerable depth and if anything should have hit it no doubt it would have penetrated for a considerable distance, apart from the above observations nothing unusual was seen.
2.
A patrol was anticipated to the area by canoe but a check with local prospectors advised against it due to the frequency and length of the portages.
3.
Mr. REDACTED Yellowknife, N.W.T. who operated a prospecting outfitting business in Yellowknife and who has his own plane accompanied the writer to the scene. He has been prospecting and mining for approximately thirty years and is quite familiar with this part of the country, and is of the opinion that something did land in the area described above. A further patrol is anticipated to the area with Mr. REDACTED just as soon as it is convenient  for him and it is intended to go over the area with a geiger counter and to prove the area with a rod. If nothing should be located at this time there is a possibility that arrangements can be made at this point to have the area checked with a magnetometer after freeze up. In view of the foregoing this file will continue as hereunder shown pending further investigation. Diary date as marginally noted, requested, please.
