Case description

At about 7:30 a.m. on February 18, 1969, a lone observer near Craigmyle, Alberta, reported encountering a large, silent, saucer-shaped object. Its estimated diameter was about fifteen metres. The account states that the object lifted a car from the road. It also associates the experience with hypnosis or a hypnotic state, but the short entry does not explain whether this referred to the witness’s condition during the event or to later recollection. It supplies no independent description of the car’s height, movement, or landing. The observer’s name and the end of the encounter are not preserved in the digest. Its reference trail points to International Flying Saucer magazine number 35; the available summary does not describe occupants or a craft interior.
