Time: Approx: 11:15 p.m.
-
- HBCC UFO Research had a telephone call at 11:30 p.m.
from the Richmond RCMP asking if I was receiving reports from eyewitnesses
of a green beam of light which was putting on a show in the skies above
Vancouver and Richmond, B.C.
-
- I informed the RCMP that at this time I had not received
any such reports on the beam of light, but would turn my computer back
on and check. I had no emails mentioning the lights. Due to it being late
and alot of businesses closes for the day, I planned on making some calls
today, May 10, 2005 to look into the matter and to hopefully find some
answers.
-
- On May 9, 2005 after I had taken the call from a RCMP
constable, I thought I would see if the TV news might still be open to
take a news story, I called and talked to a really nice lady who informed
me that the TV station had not received any reports on green lights or
anything else out of the norm. But she did go on to say that on her way
into her work place that evening, she did observe the green beam of light
which seemed to be in the vicinity of the Vancouver Science World .
-
- So this morning I made my first call to Science World
and received the information that solved this case.
-
- I have three audio clips. One from the RCMP, CTV Newsroom
and the Vancouver Science World. Also posted is two reports on what it
was that caused the event.
-
- *Richmond RCMP receives 5 to 6 calls from witnesses reporting
a green beam of light in the skies above Richmond and Vancouver, British
Columbia.* Date: May 9, 2005 Time: approx: 11:15 p.m.

- Information on Cruiser and RASCAL - Fact Sheet
-
- CRUISER AND RASCAL DRIVE ACROSS CANADA A MAJOR STUDY
ON AIR QUALITY.
-
- What are CRUISER and RASCAL?
-
- CRUISER and RASCAL are not the names of the latest in
cartoon super heroes. They are Environment Canada's mobile-air monitoring
laboratories that could be rolling into a town near you. Long, white and
boxy, these high-tech mobile homes are measuring air quality in communities
across the nation.
-
- The dynamic duo started in Windsor in October 2004 and
is now out west on a research expedition that will last several months.
They are aiming to improve understanding of the atmospheric chemical behaviour
of air pollutants, and identify transborder emissions sources in Canada
and the United States.
-
- CRUISER and RASCAL
-
- A diesel truck with more than 140 square feet of lab
space, the Canadian Regional and Urban Investigation System for Environmental
Research (CRUISER) is equipped with some of the most advanced air-quality
measurement systems in the world capable of collecting detailed information
on pollutants in the air while moving from place to place. CRUISER will
work in tandem with a mobile lab known as the Rapid Acquisition Scanning
Aerosol Lidar (RASCAL), which scans atmospheric particle concentrations
in three dimensions.
-
- RASCAL, boxy white truck number two, uses a laser beam
and a telescope, which allows researchers to see the pollutants in the
air.
-
- What makes these two such great partners is that while
CRUISER can identify pollutants, RASCAL can see them.
-
- In February 2005, CRUISER and RASCAL completed observations
in Windsor and began their trek west, first stopping in Golden, British
Columbia, for three weeks before continuing on to Vancouver. Measurement
activities in western Canada will run until November 2005. They will help
identify and understand hot spots in southern British
-
- Columbia to determine sources of the pollution in the
stagnation zone over the San Juan and Gulf Islands, and study local and
transboundary flows of airborne pollution in the Georgia Basin-Puget Sound
area and interior valleys. During this period, both mobile labs will also
spend close to a month in central Alberta as part of a larger air quality
study, Prairie 2005.
-
- The research doesn't end there. In spring-summer 2006,
CRUISER will tackle the second phase of its eastern study by following
up on the information collected this year and will expand geographic coverage
to include Sarnia and areas downwind, and increase emphasis on ground-level-ozone
measurements.
-
- Cruising for a Reason The research caravan is going across
Canada to help identify air pollutants, where they are coming from and
which pollutants are most harmful to our health and the health of the environment.
-
- Part of the challenge of pollution control is not only
domestic pollution but transboundary pollution. Air pollution does not
recognize borders. So, CRUISER and RASCAL will also be looking for pollutants
from the United States.
-
- Air pollution is a North American problem that requires
solutions from both sides of the border. This transboundary research is
part of the Border Air Quality Strategy: a Canada/ United States commitment
(which builds on the 1991 Canada-US Air Quality Agreement) to develop new
cooperative approaches for the improvement of air quality such as the reduction
of smog-causing emissions.
-
- Environment Canada and Health Canada will be evaluating
the research results to better understand human exposure levels to particulate
matter and ground-level ozone (smog) in areas across Canada, the most significant
sources of these pollutants, and the health risks. Researchers will also
be looking at related environmental issues such as visibility impairment
and acid rain.
-
- The dynamic duo may not be super heroes but the data
they collect will help researchers figure out what emissions need to be
reduced and where; providing key information needed to help protect the
health of Canadians and the environment.
