Before dawn on the morning of January 1, 1970, a nurse at a hospital in Duncan, B.C., opened the curtain in a patient’s room. What she saw next is depicted on the Royal Canadian Mint’s sixth Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena coin.
The nurse described seeing a large saucer-shaped, glass-domed craft. Inside the object, which was estimated to be 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter and illuminated from the bottom, two male-like figures clad in dark cloth appeared to be standing in front of a large panel. Absorbed by the sight, the nurse studied both the craft and its occupants, until one of them reached down to grab
hold of what appeared to be a lever… and the object quickly moved out of sight.
This is the sixth coin in a popular series that brings you some of Canada’s most fascinating tales of unexplained phenomena, from strange sightings to close encounters.
