11. COMMENTS RCMP & local investigation still revealed that witness could not find location where saucer landed or observed hovering object; observation was one of exaggeration. Witness informed that the incident would receive no publicity witness to all interest in finding landing site. Star Arcturus was in reported location. Case is evaluated as the star Arcturus w/subsequent fabrication of events in an effort to perpetrate a hoax.
