Full Description & Details

My name is Benny Richard Hiebert. I was born in 1957 and grew up in the Kleefeld area in the R.M. of Hanover, about 15 minutes from Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada.

On a warm summer night in 1969, my sister Martha and I were babysitting for a couple who lived half a mile from our house which was situated 1 ½ miles south of Kleefeld on Highway #216. This house belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Koop and they had two young daughters. I was twelve years old and my sister was a year younger.

The time was around midnight, and as we looked out of the window, we noticed two round glowing objects in the western sky moving steadily south. We watched them for about half a minute before they gradually disappeared from our viewpoint. We couldn’t believe that they might be UFO’s but they weren’t airplanes because there were no blinking lights. Also, there was no noise that we could hear from the objects. We didn’t know how to explain it but we both knew we had seen something which we had never seen before.

A short time later, a car drove onto the yard, and came to the house. The lady was Miss. Janz, a respected local grade-school teacher. She and the gentleman she was with both asked if we had seen the two orange objects moving across the sky. We were both excited and relieved to tell them that we too had seen the objects. They seemed amazed at this experience, explaining they had sighted the orange objects in the sky as they drove along the road in their car. They were convinced the objects were UFO’s.

My sister and I now knew that what we had seen was real, and that the objects were not imagined. Two independent parties of two people each had verified and supported this amazing event. The only explanation was that we had seen Unidentified Flying Objects.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

absolutely not.
