Full Description & Details

On January 10th 1991 I was travelling with a companion to check his trapline At the time I was the wildlife officer for the area of Ft. Resolution and Pine Point Northewest Territories

At approx 11:00 a.m. our snowmobile broke down and we began to walk the 12 miles back to highway no 5 to where we had left the pickup truck, We had been walking approx 5 hours when we stopped under a large tree to have a bite to eat and a coffee. We made a small fire to dry our clothes. The weather was fairly mild for the tme of year. Approx -10c and light snow was falling. The tree we sat under was in the middle of a small clearing, approx 150 in diameter. We had been there for about half an hour when we heard a low humming noise approaching from the east. The humming grew louder until it was right above our location. Suddenly there was a huge flash of light (like a giant flashbulb going off). There was a few seconds gap and then another bright flash, this happened a third time., The humming was similar to a very large motor running at idle. Throbbing almost.! At this time the noise began moving to the west, towrds the highway we were heading for. We sat there for a few minutes wondering what we had just experienced. We packed up our gear and continued walking arriving back at the highway at 11:00 p.m.

At no time did we see anything definitive but only the flashing lights and very loud humming throbbing sound.
