On June 9th, 2010, UFO*BC received a email from "Bill M.", in which he describes some very strange events that happened to his brother, "Alex". In August 2010, two UFO*BC Directors, Steve Adair and Dave Pengilly, met with Alex and discussed the story. Basically, he confirmed the events, as described by his brother, were correct. The strange events took place in 1968, while Alex was prospecting in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Below, Bill gives an introduction before relating his brother's story.

I am going to make an attempt to relay his story to you, my brother asked for my help in sending out this information.

Watching BBC world news recently I saw a short blurb about Steven Hawking and his beliefs concerning aliens. I was very surprised to hear that he would believe such things. This made me recall the story my brother told me.

During the telephone conversation he told me even more about his experience and that he feels a need to tell the whole story. He came to visit me a few days later, armed with topographical maps. After a couple of days of listening to what, he said, was the whole story and looking at maps, I realised that he is the same level headed thinking man I have always known. He firmly believes all that he told me. He was very nervous telling the story and seemed relieved to be able to tell the whole story to somebody who would listen non-judgementally. It is my understanding that people who have had unexplainable things happen to them are reluctant to tell their story for obvious reasons. The experience he described to me happened in 1968.

My oldest brother, who is 76 years old, was/is a miner-prospector. Many times in the last 30 years he has said to me that some day he will tell me a story of something that he had happen to him, and that he hoped that I would not think he was crazy. I believe him to be a very level headed person and not taken to having flights of fancy telling strange stories. This past winter I received a letter from him highlighting what I can only describe as a very strange story, a story that does not fit the man I have known all my life. I felt quite concerned and telephoned him to see if he was ok.

I am 58 years old male and still employed and I have been working as an instructor at a College since 1990. Before this time I have worked in a wide variety of construction work. I think of myself as a reasonable person and open minded up to a point. I do not believe in the here after, parallel universes, angels or aliens. I believe that humans are responsible for all things bad and all things good that happen to us. I do not believe aliens have built the pyramids or any other structures on earth. I am telling you these things to let you know that I am not predisposed to believe aliens are visiting earth, I do feel that I am open to listening and would change my views if I saw reasonable reasons to do so.
