REDACTED – B: REDACTED, Yellowknife, N.W.T.
Report of Strange Object Striking Clan Lake, Clan Lake Dist. N.W.T.
(YELLOWKNIFE DETACHMENT CASE)

DATE 25-8-60

15-8-60. With reference to the above and to previous correspondence submitted in this connection, please be advised that on this date a patrol was made by CF-MPX to the scene of this occurrence and further examination of the area was carried out.

2. The water on Clan Lake is considerably lower than on the previous patrol on July 19th., 1960 with only a foot of water in the spot where the object is supposed to have landed. The lake bottom at this particular spot consists of approximately eighteen inches of loose black silt and then very hard clay. It was possible to wade through most of the area and a thorough check was made by probing with 3/8″ metal rods. Due to the consistency of the clay underlying the silt it was impossible to probe to any great depth and the greatest depth reached would be about five feet. Nothing whatsoever was detected during the probing. The area was also thoroughly checked with a Geiger counter but this proved negative. Prior to departing, the area was marked by placing trees in the mud in an upright position and sufficiently high that they would be visible above the snow in the winter in the event that a magnetometer check is considered warranted.

3. 
Mr. Gordon BROWN, Geologist, Yellowknife, N.W.T., who is in charge of all fieldwork in this area for the Giant Gold Mines, Yellowknife, N.W.T. advised the writer that he would be quite willing to do a magnetometer check of the area after freeze-up if transportation was supplied. Mr. BROWN would supply the magnetometer.

4.
In view of the foregoing this file will continue as hereunder shown pending further instructions in the above regard. Diary date as marginally noted, requested, please.

STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION:
