Rob Freeman was 12 in 1966 when he left a Scouts meeting at Sarnia’s St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on a late-March evening and saw something strange in the sky.

Some younger kids were playing in the street and pointed up at what they said was a helicopter flying overhead.

“I was looking at the sky and I said, ‘kids, that’s not a helicopter,’” Freeman said.

He described seeing a bright light that didn’t make a sound that moved slowly from north to south and then, “in the blink of an eye,” began moving north again.

Freeman said at one point he could see into the bottom of object through what looked like a lens.

“I could see things moving, almost as if it was a figure or figures,” he said. “At this point I was thinking, ‘this was some otherworldly craft.’”

Freeman said the other kids left and his mother hadn’t yet arrived to pick him up.
