Harold Charles Boutillier (1902 – 1980)
Harold Boutillier and his brother Donald started mining in the Klondike in 1925.1) The brothers were in their twenties in the 1930s when they saw a UFO on the Hunker Creek Road. It was a cigar-shaped object skimming and following the hill line. The story was recounted to a thirteen-year-old girl when the Boutilliers were in their forties.2)
Harold, Donald, and Harold’s wife Annabelle were lifetime miners in the Klondike. They lived on Adams Creek [Gulch?] for the mining season from May to September. In a good summer they would recover about four hundred ounces, and they once found a six-and-a-half-ounce nugget. They retired to their home in Vancouver in the fall of 1971.3) Harold died in Victoria, British Columbia.4)
