A UFO sighting in Duncan in 1970 is the inspiration behind a new collectible silver coin that is being produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Before dawn on New Year’s Day, 1970, a nurse at the Cowichan District Hospital opened the curtain in a patient’s room.
The nurse described seeing a large saucer-shaped craft with a glass-like dome top.
Inside the object, which was estimated to be 15 metres in diameter and illuminated from the bottom, the nurse said two male-like figures clad in dark cloth appeared to be standing in front of a large panel.
