Initial data
It was about 1937-38, when George was in late adolescence. He was a fisherman in the payer Passes on the East coast of Vancouver island in a 16-foot open boat.
Porlier Pass is located between lake Galiano and valdés, about 17 km to the East of the North-East of Ladysmith.
Was day, the weather was calm, cloudy and foggy. Suddenly in the distance three or four hundred yards he noticed a spot of "white-blue" the ball over the water. It was the size of about 6-7 feet in diameter. The object seemed to be following him and at some point was at a distance of a hundred feet of him. He could clearly see that he has a certain edge, and that it consists of many blue hues. It is estimated that he watched it more than 5 minutes, when it seemed that he began to dissipate.
He always believed that this phenomenon is called a Fire St. Elmo. When George found the description of how to look like lights, decide what it is not. However, he believed that it is probably some other form of natural phenomena.

Original news
By Martin Jasek, UFO*BC Yukon Representative
George currently resides in Whitehorse, Yukon and is the gentleman who has in his possession a slide of seven glowing orb-like UFOs taken over Tagish Lake. Although he didn’t take the photo himself, we were pleasantly surprised when George had his own story to relate, back from his youth, when he lived in British Columbia on Vancouver Island.
It was about 1937-38, when George would have been in his late teens. He was commercial fishing in the Porlier Pass off the east coast of Vancouver Island in a 16 foot open boat. Porlier Pass is located between Galiano and Valdez Islands, about 17 km east-northeast of Ladysmith. It was daylight, the weather was dead calm, cloudy and misty. Suddenly in the distance, perhaps three or four hundred yards away he spotted a “whitish-bluish” sphere hovering over the water. It was about 6 to 7 feet in diameter he figures. The object appeared to be following him and at one point was within a hundred feet of him. He could clearly see it had a defined edge and that it was composed of a variety of blue tones. He estimates that he watched it well over 5 minutes when it just seemed to dissipate. He had seen this object in the same general area about 3 or 4 times but this was the closest encounter he had with it.
He had always believed that it was a phenomenon called “St. Elmo’s Fire”. Doing some research on this we found that St. Elmo’s Fire is a blue-violet or sometimes greenish glow often seen at the top of ship’s masts during thunderstorm conditions. It is different from lightning in that it is a continuous electrical discharge into the atmosphere from long metal objects which causes the air to ionize and glow. It is a faint glow and it has to be dark out for it to be seen. It is always attached to a metal objects such as a ship’s mast or a lightning rod.
When George was shown the above information, he could clearly see that what he saw could not have been St. Elmo’s Fire. However, he did believe it was likely some other form of natural phenomenon.
