Old Steam Shovel/Moffat Bridge/CN Railway Bridge In Quesnel British Columbia (7 - Pictures)

Above Photo: Moffat Bridge. The first bridge across the Fraser River at Quesnel was built in 1928 and opened in the Spring of 1929. This bridge served the area until it was replaced by the present Moffat Bridge in 1970.

Also In The Above Photo: The replica of a Cornish water wheel was donated by W.H.Boyd of Cottonwood House. This replica of the Cariboo gold rush was dedicated by Governor Randolph Bruce in 1930.

As we drove through Quesnel I spotted an old steam shovel that is located in Ceal Tingley Park. I slowed the car down and got off of the main Highway and onto a side road and then into a parking lot in the park. It was just awesome, the shovel was used in the early 1900s at the Bullion Mine which was owned by the Cariboo Hydraulic Mining Company. From what I read, it was used to dig a trench from Spanish Lake to the Bullion Mine. The Bullion Mine. was later closed in 1912.

20 Or More Silent Bright Orange Lights In Formation Over Moffat Dumfriesshire UK

 

Date:  May 7, 2011

Time:  10:30 p.m.

 

You request information about UFO sightings:

Tonight at 10:30 p.m. above Moffat, Dumfriesshire, UK. 20 or so bright orange lights in formation heading from south to north just west of Moffat. Altitude was possibly 4-10,000 feet. Each light vanished as it came abeam of my viewing point (in the manner of a passing navigation light on an aircraft).

There was no audible aircraft noise. They seem very strange, through binoculars, only the light is visible, no other structure or any kind of reflected surface. I see that these things have been seen quite frequently in the UK over the last 2 years or so, I wonder what they are? Cheers.

 

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Bright Orange Glowing Object Seen From Moffat Mills To Chapelhall UK

Date: March 10, 2010

Time: Evening.

I was just explaining to my dad that last night (15th March 2010) I saw a bright orange glow in the sky while driving from Moffat Mills to Chapelhall. Driving due east past the large white bungalow, the "glow" was flying towards the east. I nearly called my mate at Kiltarie Cres, Moffat Mills to ask him to look out his back, as I couldn't stop straight away. I reckon it was heading that in that direction. Just after explaining it to my dad, I found your picture and said to my dad, "that's exactly what I saw". It isn't a plane.
