1994-07-15 - Prince George, BC - Light

((NUFORC Note: Time and date are approximate. PD))

I was a tree planter going from Prince George to Fort Nelson (the 1st time) in July 1994. The time was between 11:00pm-12:00am. There were only two of us in a cube truck, I was the passenger. There were no other cars on the highway and it was a very clear night, when suddenly the interior of the truck light up with flickering fire light, we thought the trucks cube with all our supplies was on fire. The light source was on the passenger side (my side) just out of the corner of my eye, but when I looked the light was gone. We both saw the light, but didn't know where it came from. We were a little taken aback. Five minutes later the light came back on the same side as before, but it was much dimmer and again when we looked back in the mirrors the light disappeared, but it was the same flickering light and there was no other traffic on the road with us. We arrived at our destination and told others our story. It turned out that the same light flashed two others in a different car, the same night, but in their story it was much brighter and scared them so bad that they pulled over and camped the rest of the night. Three weeks later after the contract was finished the crew was going back to Prince George along the same road, this time I was sitting behind the driver, it was about the same time as before, but in a different truck and again there was no other traffic on the road and it was a very clear night. Suddenly I got a savear head acke, it was instant and painful, like someone was going into my head and trying to comunicate. I tried to hear, but failed. I was going to give up trying when I heard in the back of my head "he still can't hear us", with that I tried again to comunicate, but again could not make the connection. After about 15 minutes of trying I gave up and looked out the window to my right, past two of my crew. They were looking and talking towards the inside of the truck, so they didn't see what I saw. It was as large as a big marbell and bright white with a tail shooting out the back. Between the body and the tail was a gap about an inch wide. The spray was emmitting from the body and looked to be bubbling (large bubbles close to the boby and smaller ones at the end of the spray).From the spray shoot the tail which looked to be about five feet long. All the spray and the tail were orangy yellow in colour. The truck was going about ninty kms and when I looked at it, it slowed right down and flew behind the truck. The window it was flying beside was open a crack and when it slowed down and went behind the truck the noise from the wind coming through the window dropped by half, and my headacke went away instantly. I didn't say anything to my crew, I think I was in mild shock. Love to have it happen again. Next time I will stop the truck.
