On September 3, 1987, the remote wilderness of Canada’s Yukon Territory became the stage for an event that would forever change the life of Ross River resident Kevin. What began as a routine hunting trip along the isolated North Canol Road transformed into an encounter with an unidentified flying object and its occupants, leaving Kevin with lasting physical marks and vivid memories that continue to intrigue UFO researchers to this day.
The North Canol Road, a remnant of World War II construction, stretches through some of the most desolate terrain in North America. Vast distances separate any signs of human habitation, creating an environment of true isolation. It was in this setting, far from the busy hum of civilization, that Kevin’s extraordinary experience unfolded.
Kevin had arrived at a small trailer near Dewhurst Creek the previous day, with plans to spend time hunting for moose in the vicinity of Macpass. As dawn broke on that fateful September morning, he mounted his motorcycle, ready to explore the rugged landscape. The air was crisp, carrying the lingering dampness from the previous night’s rain, but giving no hint of the unprecedented events that were about to transpire.
After riding for a short while, Kevin decided to stop and take in the mountainous terrain surrounding him. It was during this moment of quiet appreciation that something unusual caught his eye. In the distance, an object was moving slowly across the sky. At first glance, it resembled an airplane, but as Kevin watched more closely, he realized this was something entirely different and defied conventional explanation.
The object, cigar-shaped and roughly the size of a school bus, glided silently about 40 yards above the ground. It lacked wings or a tail, immediately ruling out any known aircraft. The craft was dark green in color with a grey stripe running down its middle, and along its sides, Kevin could make out what appeared to be portholes. The most striking aspect of the object was its complete silence – there was no engine noise, no sound at all, creating an eerie contrast with the natural sounds of the wilderness.
