2 July 1950 Dusk
Steep Rock Lake, Ontario, Canada
A double saucer with portholes and a rotating antenna, on a lake, with ten figures, 1.20 meters tall, on the deck. Explanation: Hoax.
In a story strangely similar to that of Mr. Kiehl (Aug, 1914), a man and his wife saw a double saucer with portholes and a rotating antenna come to rest on the surface of the lake. Ten figures, 1.20 meters tall, dressed in shiny clothing, emerged and walked on deck like robots "changing direction without turning their bodies." Their faces could not be seen. One of them wore a red cap, had darker arms and legs and "seemed to be their chief." They immersed a hose in the lake, then took off. Fishermen later reported a green moss forming on the lake. A flying disc was observed. Angel hair was found.One green-red saucer, about 80 feet across, was observed by two witnesses, a married couple, at a lake for a few seconds (Edwards, G; Harvey, C). A noise was heard. Ten 4-foot-tall dwarves, each wearing a shiny suit and red cap, were seen.
After feeling a blast like vibration, Mr. and Mrs Gordon Edwards looked at the lake and saw a large shiny object on the water, less than 1/4 mile away. It looked like "one saucer upside down on another," with round portholes around the edge. A hatch on top was open; about 10 "queer little figures" less than 4 ft tall were visible. A hoop shaped antenna was slowly rotating. The topmost figure wore a red skullcap; the others dark blue; all had "a shiny metallic substance over the chest," and appeared to lack faces. Moving like automatons, they seemed to be drawing water through a bright green hose and discharging it through another. When the witness next looked, the beings were gone and the craft was about 8 ft up; it appeared about 48 ft wide and 15 ft thick. It tilted to 45 degrees and took off northward, with a blast of wind.
