The author of the original material was talking to a man (VM) who was sent to me by another friend of mine (LJ). They met at the Southridge Mall and discussed UFOs after spotting LJ (UFO KID) license plates. LJ gave the information, and on August 30, he called VM. 

He described the event as it happened: in 1963, he worked at INCO and one Saturday, together with a friend, went trolling on Lake Landry, north of Capreol. The only access road to the lake is the "pole line" (a dirt trail used by hydraulic systems for laying, checking and repairing high-voltage lines in the wilderness). It was about 13:30 or 14:00., and while fishing, they noticed an approaching object in the distance. First one of the men said:

"It's like a plane that's about to hit the ground." 

"Yes," said the other, "but he can't crash into the bushes." 

Then the other replied:

"You know how sometimes a plane in trouble tries to land on the water. That's probably what he's going to do." 

But when the object approached, they realized that it was not a plane. He got closer and closer until he was about 40 yards away. At that moment, they both lost consciousness. 

Before they were knocked out, he saw that the object was a large disk with a diameter of 100 feet with a large dome at the top with square edges. And there was a smaller dome under the ship. The object was dark gray in color; no silvery reflection, no glitter, no light.

When they woke up, the men were lying on the shore next to the boat. They looked at each other and said:

"We must be very tired or something." 

They returned to the city and headed to the mall. When they arrived there, they realized that all the shops were closed. They couldn't understand why the shops were closing on Saturday afternoon. They asked a passerby about it, and he said it was Sunday! The two men thought he was joking, so they went to the store and asked the clerk, and he said the same thing. 

And now, the remaining witness thinks he has lost 24 hours of his life. No explanation.

Original news

Date: Saturday, August 30, 1998.
Location: Coniston, Ontario.

I spoke with a man (BM) who had been referred to me by another friend of mine (LJ). They had met at the Southridge Mall and discussed UFOs after noticing LJ's license plates (UFO KID). LJ gave me the information, and on Aug. 30, I gave BM a call. He described the event as it happened: In 1963, he was working at INCO and one Saturday, he and a friend went trolling on Landry Lake, north of Capreol. The only access road to the lake is the 'pole line' (a dirt trail used by hydro personnel to install, inspect and repair high voltage lines in the middle of nowhere). It was about 1:30 or 2:00 p.m., and as they were fishing, they noticed an object approaching in the distance. At first, one of the men said: 'it looks like a plane about to crash land.' 'Yeah,' said the other, 'but it can't crash into the bush.' Then, the other replied: 'you know how sometimes, a plane in trouble will attempt to land on the water. That's probably what it's going to do.' But as the object got closer, they realized it wasn't a plane. It got closer and closer until it was about 40 yards away. At that moment, they both lost consciousness. Before they were knocked out, he saw that the object was a large disk, 100 feet in diameter, with a large dome on top that had somewhat square edges. And there was a smaller dome underneath the craft. The object was dark grey in colour; no silvery reflection, no shine, and no light.

When they awoke, the men were lying on shore next to the boat. They looked at each other and said: 'we've must've been really tired or something.' They made their way back to the city and headed to the mall. When they got there, they realized that all the stores were closed. They couldn't figure out why stores would be closed on a Saturday afternoon. They asked a passerby about it and he said it was Sunday! The two men thought he was joking, so they went to a convenience store and asked the clerk, and he said the same thing. So now, the remaining witness thinks that he has lost 24 hours out of his life. No explanation.
