AUFORA news

On March 19, 1996, workers at Waltham Dry Kilns lumber yard in western Quebec witnessed a mysterious, diamond-shaped UFO hovering above them. Employee Hector Brochu said that he saw the UFO hovering above the yard shortly before it took off upon his approach. Eight other workers who witnessed the object say that it hovered for approximately 15 minutes before leaving.

Local Environment Canada officials have no explanation for the UFO. Military officials at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa (located across the Ottawa River in eastern Ontario, only a few kilometers away from the lumber yard) say that they are not responsible for the incident and offer no explanation.

Recently, Paul Bauer stated that the UFO was probably his helium balloon that he and his wife had released from their balcony on the morning of March 17, 1996. According to Bauer, the balloon, which had "Happy St. Patrick's Day" on one side, matches the description given by the lumber yard workers. Brochu still insists that what he saw was from outer space. He describes the UFO as a "four-pointed star".
