LATE JULY 1969, TROIS RIVIERES, QUEBEC, CANADA, THREE YOUNG PEOPLE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Ufologists Philippe Blaquière and Wido Hoville reported in 1975 a case which occurred in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada, in the summer of 1969 at approximately 9 p.m.

A group of teenagers were parked close to a rservoir on a ground distant from the village and one of their two cars not wanting to start, three of them, aged from 12 to 16 years, remained in this old car.

Their attention was drawn to a powerful light behind a small thicket of fir trees, or the higher part of a saucer with a cupola which appeared above the trees according to another source, or an intense light at approximately 20 feet above water according to a third source.

Soon, they saw seven or eight "luminous beings" floating at 30 cm above ground-level appear close to the fir trees. These characters were 1.80 to 2 meters high and resembled snowmen, without mouth nor eyes which could be distinguished.

One of the young people exclaimed "They are Martians". The entities approached the car and surrounded it, and the young people took refuge under a blanket on the back seat after having locked the doors. The temperature started to rise and they felt the car being shaken.

They also heard noises of steps on the roof, one of the witnesses explaining that they heard the sound of the roof's metal sheet pressed down.

After one hour approximately, a car approached, bringing friends of the witnesses, and as soon as the light of its headlights was perceived, the beings quickly regained the UFO, which rose at high speed.

After the departure of the visitors, the young people looked on the roof of the car and saw traces there.

Narratives:

[Ref. mr1:] MARK RODEGHIER:

This ufologist indicates in a catalogue of UFO/vehicle interference cases that late in July or early in August of 1969, at 09:00 p.m., near Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, a group of teenagers were parked near a reservoir and one of their two cars inexplicably would not start, thus, several of them left in the remaining car to get assistance.

These three people left behind saw a light about 20 feet over the water, then seven or eight humanoids floating toward them. They hid in the car, which became hot and shuddered as if being buffeted by a heavy wind, and they also heard footsteps on the roof and marks were later found at that spot on the car. Eventually the strange events stopped and the light was nowhere to be seen.

The author indicates that the source is UFO Occupants and Critters, by John Musgrave.

[Ref. js1:] JACQUES SCORNAUX:

Jacques Scornaux indicates that in Trois-Rivières, province of Quebec, Canada, in the summer of 1969 around 9 p.m., three young people from 12 to 16 years old were close to an old car on a ground isolated from the village, when their attention was drawn by a powerful light behind a small mass of fir trees.

The higher part of a saucer with a cupola was emerging above the trees, and a seven to eight row of "luminous little men" floating at 30 centimeters above ground-level soon appeared close to the fir trees.

These characters were 1.80 to 2 meters high and resembled a snowman, without mouth nor eyes that could be distinguished, according to the published drawing.

One of the young people exclaimed "They are Martians." The entities approached the car and surrounded it, the young people took refuge under a cover on the backseat after having locked the doors. The temperature started rise and they felt the car move.

One of the characters walked on the roof of the vehicle, and one of the witnesses told: "you would hear the metallic roof pressed down like under a pressure. After the departure of our visitors, we looked on the roof and there were traces", which are not described.

After one hour approximately, a car approached, bringing friends of the witnesses, and as soon as the light of its headlights was perceived, the characters quickly reached the UFO, which rose at high speed.

Jacques Scornaux indicates that the source is Philippe Blaquière and Wido Hoville, in "Les Humanoïdes des Trois-Rivières", in UFO-Québec, volume 1, pp 4-5, May/June/July 1975.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, on late July 1969 at 09:00 p.m., as dusk fell, three youths aged 12, 15, and 16 were in an abandoned field beside a car that was out of gas.

In the direction of a nearby pond, 500 feet away, they noticed a pulsing luminosity, and then perceived that this was coming from a dark discoid object with a cupola, hovering 15-20 feet above the pond, beyond some intervening fir trees.

Then from behind the trees emerged a procession of seven or more white luminous "objects," or figures, consisting of vertical cylinders with a lump on top, vaguely resembling a human without arms or legs; they were five to six feet high and were floating a foot above the ground. Where the face should be was a darker oval.

As these figures turned toward them, the three teenagers sought refuge in the rear seat of the car, closing its windows and locking the doors, and hiding under a blanket. The entities soon surrounded the car, and seemingly attempted without success to open the doors; one rose up and "walked" on the car's roof, leaving traces on the metal.

The siege of the car lasted for more than an hour. When the lights of an approaching car, containing friends of the witnesses, became visible, the entities returned to the UFO, which then rose at great speed. The youngest witness had nightmares for a week.

Albert Rosales indicates that the sources are Phillipe Blaquiere and Wido Hoville.

[Ref. ud1:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:

The website indicates that on July 31, 1965, at 16:30, in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, two 5-feet cylinders connected by cross-bars landed. One 5-foot tall being was seen outside, by three witnesses in a forest for five minutes.

Points to consider:

In the sources which are available to me, some essential information is missing. For example, as the incident is reported by the investigators 6 years after it occurred, the lack of precise date being also revealing, it seems that the investigation is rather late. There could have really been be three or even six witnesses for the experience, but the question of knowing how many of these witnesses, only one or several or all, were interrogated, remains open, and it is an important question since it makes the difference between a case with single witness and a case with multiple witnesses. All these important points are perhaps covered in an investigation report, but this is not assured.

List of issues:

Evaluation:

Extraterrestrial beings. Insufficient information.
