Royal Canadian Mounted Police UFO Witness Silenced
From the Vancouver Sun of April 26th, 1976.
Bill Toffan, the 21 year old Terrace RCMP constable who said he had a near crash last Wednesday after sighting an unidentified flying object while on highway patrol, has been ordered by his superiors not to comment on the incident.
Toffan says he would be putting his job on the line if he said anything further, but his superior says there is nothing out of the ordinary in the order.
RCMP subdivision head, Edward Trefry, denied there is any police cover-up of the incident.
"We're not trying to hide anything. It's simply policy which has been laid down throughout this subdivision that all press releases are made by senior personnel at each detachment instead of by the individual officer." Inspector Trefry said in an interview from Prince Rupert.
"This is to avoid confusion and there are no exceptions to the rule," he said.
According to a press release made last week by Staff-Sgt. Murray Morrison, commanding officer of the Terrace detachment,Toffan saw a vehicle with its lights flashing ahead of him on Highway 16 about 60 miles east of Prince Rupert.
However, when he drew closer, he discovered it was not on the road, but was flying. As Toffan drew abreast of the air-borne object there was a blinding flash. He was so startled he nearly lost control of his car. He stopped and investigated the area on foot but found nothing.

Police Officer UFO sighting -Blue Ridge,Canada
UFO Research Institute of Canada:
At 2:30 a.m., Frank Riley,a police officer with a military background, observed what appeared at first to be a shooting star over the Blue Ridge area of Seymour Mountain. Through the bathroom window he observed three red and white pulsating cylindrical lights. The sensor alarm in the patio was activated and the light which illuminated the lane went out. One of his dogs, outside the house, started to whine. Panic-stricken, Frank tried to wake up his wife, but it took all his effort to awaken her for just a brief moment before she fell back to sleep "like a rag doll." This had never happened before. Their nine-month-old child was "giggling" in the other room - another unusual occurrence. By 3:00 a.m., the lights had disappeared. Frank remarked that he had never been so frightened in his life.

There are few roads on earth more dramatically breathtaking than Canada's Highway 16. The lonely 837-mile stretch of asphalt slices east-west through British Columbia, winding its way through towering snow-capped peaks, bustling mill towns, and a remote wilderness that feels as if it hasn't been touched since the beginning of time.
It's against this ruggedly beautiful backdrop that people are disappearing, the most recent in late May, when 20-year-old Madison Scott vanished near what has come to be known as the Highway of Tears. Scott was last seen at 3 a.m. on the night of May 27 at Hogsback Lake, a popular camping and party spot, about 15 miles south of her small town of Vanderhoof. A few days after Scott went missing, police found her tent and pickup truck at the campsite, but there was no sign of the young woman. Search parties came up empty handed.
It's a distressingly familiar scenario to those who live around here.
“The whole town is still in complete shock and no one knows what to think,” said Hannah White, a reporter with the Vanderhoof Omineca Express. “She really had her head screwed on. We don’t think she just wandered off drunk and fell into the lake. It is completely off character. I don’t know if they will ever find her at this point.”

Scott’s fate appears to be the latest in a three-decade-long period during which numerous women have been killed or gone missing near three of B.C.’s northern highways, most prominently Highway 16. It is especially shocking for Canada, a country where murder is rare (610 homicides in 2009, compared to the United States' 13,636). And while the Royal Canadian Mounted Police say the number of missing and dead totals 18, aboriginal leaders in the area say the real number is much higher, around 43.

Not to be rude, but you do realize that the article you just quoted is about a woman, right?
I would be very interested in seeing an article about a man/guy that went missing on Hwy 16.edit on 11-7-2011 by burntheships because: (no reason given)
Aboriginal leaders argue that the pool of victims is still larger, and even includes men and at least one family. And they say authorities are mostly just talk when it comes to concrete efforts to find the perpetrators. “There is no political will at all,” said Angela Marie MacDougall, executive director of Battered Women’s Support Services. “Zero. Unless you have law enforcement and various levels of government involved, it doesn’t go anywhere.
The whole thing reminded me something that i read years ago about certain places,with strong energies,that can drive people crazy.What if there is not one killer or abductor,but many.What if anyone who passes through that highway are victims to these energies and when they see a person they have an urge to kill.I read in a few murder cases they found the killer and charged him,but the murder spree didn't stop.Did they convict the wrong person or in each case the killer is a different person?
I know it's far fetched and highly impossible because the victims are only women.Maybe these energies affect only men.

Must read website dedicated to these 'missing' and murdered women, with pictures of the women and of course more information.
Very interesting read in relation to the subject.
Highway 16 west has been dubbed the Highway of Tears, after at least five First Nations women vanished or were found murdered there, between 1994-1995.
In recent years, more women of Aboriginal ancestry have disappeared, or have been found murdered in this area.
NONE OF THESE CASES HAVE BEEN SOLVED.
MISSING/MURDERED NATIVE WOMEN IN CANADA
I feel like I'm opening up a Pandora's box here - for me personally that is... I'll bring more news as I find it.

As for missing woman Madison Scott, police are keeping quiet about the investigation. They say there is no indication that Scott is a victim of foul play, or that she was hitchhiking when she disappeared. “We haven’t ruled anything out, but there is no indication [her disappearance] has anything to do with Highway 16,” said RCMP Sgt. Rob Vermeulen. “It is a mystery. There is no evidence of what happened to her.”

This is sad news and i hope that it stops.
I checked the list of murdered/missing women and apart from the fact that they are all aboriginal,which indicates that a person or a group of people are attacking women based on their race.The years that this happening are too many(since 1969) for one person to act alone.
The UFO theory that was mentioned before could be a possibility,but as far as we know the abductees are always return with minimum damage.

While this is worrying its wrong to assume everyone who is unaccounted for has been murderd at this stage.
