- ELDER SEES MYSTERY LIGHTS 11/01/96

- UFO sightings abound across Western NWT

- Deh Cho Drum (Fort Simpson) - January 11, 1996

- Liidli Ke elder Leo Norwegian's mind is finally at ease after weeks of
- wondering what he saw the night of Nov.13. He still doesn't know what the
- unexplained flashes of blue, red, green and bright white lights were, but he
- now knows he wasn't the only one who saw them. Norweigian's revelation came on
- the heels of similar sightings over the last week in Fort Resolution. Residents
- there said they saw lights that seemingly hovered and then sped away faster
- than anything known on this planet - unmistakable lights of an unidentified
- flying object. "What I saw bothered me for a long time, but now I've been
- getting phone calls from peole who say they saw the same thing," Norwegian said
- Monday after his story was aired on radio.
-
- On Nov.13, just after 5 p.m., he and an eight-year old boy were driving out of
- Fort Simpson toward the Wild Rose Acres, subdivision when they both spotted
- what he first thought was the red light of a radio tower. "But we could see
- the radio tower lights and this one wasn't part of it," Norwegian said. The
- light hovered in one spot over the Mackenzie River and began to change color:
- red, then blue, then a bright white, flashing green and then red again. After
- about a minute and a half, the light sped away faster than any aircraft he had
- ever seen before - so fast, it left a trail of brilliant light behind it. "At
- first, I thought it might be a plane or helicopter, but then I knew it
- couldn't be because it went away so fast and because the colours of lights
- changed," Norwegian said.
-
- There are only two things Norwegian can compare this sighting to: UFO
- television shows and another unexplained light he saw in 1968 while spending
- New Year's Eve at a cabin on Willow Lake. Back then, he saw a blueish-green
- ball of fire travel across the sky. He thought it was a burning airplane. "I
- got back to town a week or 10 days later and reported it to the RCMP because I
- thought it was a plane crash," Norwegian said. To this day, that first
- sighting remains just as mysterious as what he saw on Nov. 13 and what Fort
- Resolution residents have been seeing over the last week.
