🇨🇦 📃 🛸 RCMP Send Memo to RCAF for Assist on Clan Lake Incident – August 16, 1960

START TRANSCRIPT:

August 16th, 1960.

Re: Report of Strange Object Striking Clan
Lake Dist. N.W.T. (YELLOWKNIFE DET, CASE)

Further to our telephone conversation of the 15th instant (Kelly-Dilworth), I am attaching hereto a copy of two reports submitted from Yellowknife Detachment.

Report 1
Report 2

As stated in our conversation this would appear to be a matter more in keeping with the interests of the Royal Canadian Air Force than that of the R.C.M.P. We would appreciate learning from you as to any plans that might be developed with a view to you pursuing this matter in the Yellowknife area with a view to locating the object referred to. We are quite impressed with the original information given in the statement of the informant  Mr. REDACTED. There does not appear to be any reason to think that this information is the result of any imagination on the part of the informant but it sounds on the face of it
11ke a clear statement of what actually happened.

2.
A description of the object is very interesting and the whole matter seems worthy of the attention of someone such as the R.C.A.F. who are no doubt better able, from the
point of view of equipment, to handle this matter.

3.
We would appreciate the result of your deliberation and are quite prepared to have our Yellowknife Detachment personnel co-operate with you in every way.

(W. H. Kelly), Supt.,
Assistant Director,
Security and Intelligence.

G/C L.C. Dilworth,
Director of Air Intelligence,
Royal Canadian Air Force,
Beaver Barracks,
424 Metcalfe Street,
Ottawa, Ontario.
