Season 4 Episode 15.  Host Michael Ryan and commentator Christine Scott take a deep dive into another case taken from the files of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).  On the night of April 6, 1976 two teenage girls were sitting in a car in the parking lot of the Skyline Hotel waiting for the mother of one of the girls to get off her shift.  While they were waiting they see a large UFO hover over the hotel and disappear behind the building like it was going to land.  This was followed by a bright flash of light.  The RCMP interviews the girls until 2 in the morning.  We read from a transcript that was made from each of the girls interviews.  Also, on today's episode we are joined by Joy who helps us pick the winner of our Christmas draw. The draw was for two books: Keith Chester's Strange Company and Bernie O'Connor's The Official History of Official UFO Magazine.
