Five people had a strange experience at Taharti Lake in
British Columbia last summer. The lake is located near
Quesnel, B.C. A father and son were hiking around the remote
lake when they spied "an oval-shaped object about the
size of a car." It hovered above the water for three
minutes and then zipped away.
The father and son returned to their cabin and told the
three people who were camping with them. The sighting took
place on July 21, 1995. The father and son left the cabin the
following morning. On their way home, they stopped at a gas
station/convenience store on Highway 97. The boy was startled
when he saw the front page of the Quesnel newspaper.
The date read "July 23" instead of "July
22," as he expected. He and his father had somehow lost
24 hours. The same thing happened to the other three people
at the cabin. They stayed an extra night and left on what
they thought was July 22. As they drove home, they turned on
the car radio and were stunned when the news announcer said
the date was July 24.
The "Taharti Lake Five" reported their
strange experience to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and
the report ended up in the RCMP's X-Files.
