Quote from the article:
“An RCAF spokesman said all UFO reports are transmitted to Ottawa for study.
The Defence Research Board attempted to analyse them in the past, but now the job has been shifted to the National Research Council.
The reports from B.C. citizens have generally described disc shaped objects with colored light – generally red and green.”
