An interesting detail that was disclosed in the UFO BC report was the fact that Mayor of Duncan at the time, James Quaife, said that he and his wife and other neighbors watched a light much brighter than a star perform manoeuvres in the sky, including dead stops and reversals of direction, as reported in the UFO Canada review. The investigator copied down the telephone number of the ex-mayor and made plans to call him. Below is a picture she took of James Quaife's photo on "The Duncan Roster of Mayors."

Jones then she drove to the Cowichan District Hospital to get a picture of the hospital as it looked then…

Next, Jones drove to the Alexander Elementary School whereupon she realized that the timeline, the sequence and directional flow of sightings, would indicate that the UFO followed a northeasterly direction toward the Mill Bay area.

Now, all of the pieces of the original story were proving themselves and fitting into place. The archivist also told her about a man named Vernon Stanley-Jones, found in an article from the Jan.14th local paper titled "Local Witnesses Claim U.F.O.'s Eject Fireballs".

Vernon Stanley-Jones, now interred in the local graveyard, had apparently built a tower from which to view the skies.

The archivist sent a copy of that story to the investigator and was able to reach his son who said he would send pictures later.

Since the Stanley-Jones' house still stands, the investigator telephoned her friend Wilma Wood an ex-curator living in Cowichan Lake, who offered to go with her to track down Mr. Stanley-Jones' house once the archivist could obtain the correct address.

The investigator spoke again with Fran Drummond, April 16th 2008, she said she thought her brother was starting boating season and was away but that he would get the message for a request to meet with him.

In the meantime, she gave several other names of people who had seen the sightings at the time. At this point the investigator realized how all of this important information had been buried for many years and she felt the excitement of any detective finding the supporting evidence of credible proof of an event.

Now the missing piece of the puzzle was to find out about Doreen Kendall, the nurse who had seen the UFO in such close proximity and in good detail.

So next Jones telephoned the hospital foundation and was given a name of Myrtle Haslam who told the investigator that the Alumni nurses where having a dinner in May and asked if she would consider coming to speak to them since they were the ones who had worked with Doreen at the time.
