Good evening...[Unedited]

The following 'incident' occured about 7:30 AM in May 1953...It was sunny and clear and the location was the foot of Pipeline Road in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada.
Please note that we were not close enough to observe any shape because the object was an estimated mile or so away outlined against a mountain...But it's behavior was certainly not from that time, unless you consider the 'top-secret' excuse the governments at the time used...
There were 3 of us - myself, John XXXXXX, my friend, Ron XXXXXX, and the school bus driver whose name I have forgotten...We were outside the school bus waiting for a student who was late...
While enjoying the sunshine a bright reflection caught my eye - it was against the mountain background and at the time it was stationary...It suddenly moved horizontally very quickly and then came to a stop...I then brought this to the attention of the other two who proceeded to watch with me...Once again it moved very quickly horizontally and again came to a stop...I would estimate the movements at about half a mile each time but, of course, I could be wrong...While all 3 of us were watching it made two more rapid horizontal movements, and then into a short vertical climb and then another horizontal movement...Please note that all of these movements were very rapid and the stops were immediate...
After about a minute it suddenly it went into a vertical climb at an extremely fast rate of speed until it was out of sight...I would estimate the elapsed time of the 'incident' to be about 5 - 10 minutes...If it was 'observing' something I have no idea what it could be because the area was all farmland at the time...
When we arrived at XXXX XXXXX High School my friend kept his mouth shut but I, unfortunately, proceeded to tell everybody what had happened and that we had probably seen a UFO...I never heard the end of it until I graduated in 1954...
Not much, but glad I could finally relate it to someone with credibility...
FYI I got the name of Sam Maranto from a recent interview one of our local TV stations had with Dan Ackroyd, who, as you know, is a firm believer in UFOs, as I have been for 55 years...I am now 71 and am rekindling my interest - that is why I sent this email...
