Jerry: The one across the road had red, green, and red lights on it.

Grant: Were the lights separate or connected?

Jerry: No, they were separate. There was a red light that was sort of revolving around it. It would go to different spots, but it would stay near the triangle.

In the spring of 1976, other people, including me, began to see triangles. The objects were definite triangle shapes, unexplainable as such things as planes, weather balloons, or other natural phenomena used by skeptics to talk themselves out of tight corners.

In 1976 it wasn’t the McCanns who were reporting triangles, because the sightings being made had shifted to the Carman-Brunkild area. Before the year was over, there were 15 sightings of triangles by 38 witnesses. No matter how unorthodox they were the sightings indicated there was something real that had invaded Manitoba’s skies.

Common to all the 1976 sightings was the fact that the triangles flew at very low altitudes. The triangles in 1975 were reported moving quite fast, while the 1976 ones filed featured extremely slow-moving objects.

Barbara Pelletier, who had a triangle fly right over her and her boyfriend near Brunkild, described her experience this way: “It moved our way and came right over the car, and it was shaped like a triangle. It wasn’t that high. You could see the shape of it. I could see how high it was. There were big lights in the corner of the triangle. There was a red one in the one corner and two blue ones on the other sides. There were a couple of lights forming the sides of the triangle. They were white, about four or five forming the sides of the triangle.”

In the spring of 1976, I was lucky enough to be present at five sightings in which triangles were seen. This is because various cameramen were out in the flap area trying to photograph UFOs.

I noticed during my observations that other high-flying UFOs accompanied each low-flying triangle. The triangles were just as others had described them: low at less than 1,000 feet.

The simultaneous appearance of a triangle and a bouncing light was an unusual combination, but important in the entire UFO mystery because Manitoba wasn’t the only place to experience such a phenomenon. Dr. Harley D. Rutledge, chairman of the Physics Department at Southwest Missouri State University, researched identical incidents.4 Because of Rutledge’s position he was very hesitant to talk about his discoveries. He told me in a letter dated March 24, 1977: “We value our reputations more than life itself.”

Rutledge and his team of researchers had more than 70 experiences with the bouncing lights. He estimated the speed at over 5,000 miles per hour and reported: “Detecting unusual radio waves which he believed were being emitted by the objects.”

According to Wendelle Stevens, it was on May 25, 1975, during his research on the bouncing lights, that Rutledge reported “watching a large triangle over the Farmington area at an altitude of 2,000 feet.”

Although there were descriptions of low-flying triangles in Missouri, Minnesota,5 and Manitoba during 1976, the colouring of the objects varied considerably.
