20-Jan-2025, Vancouver, BC: (about 1:00 am)

When I woke up around 1 am on Jan 20, I noticed 2 lights flashing alternatively between green and red totally still in the sky and a few time slow and smooth movement with a flashing white light when it moved... no sound I could hear...so I started to observe it and get my binoculars to see it better (not much more, too dark) then got my phone to make a video and eventually check the time - it was 1:09 in the morning.

It's was like that for I guess about 15 minutes then flew west rapidly. Similar speed that a helicopter and/or drone can acheive but couldn't hear any noise.

Then a few minutes later it came back to around the same place and hovered again for another 10-15 minutes until it flew away again west and I didn't see it again.

The movement you see in the videos is me holding my phone but the object was totally still or very smooth and slow movement when you see a white light flashing

I guesstimate at about 20 feet between the two lights.

Additional Witness Information:

To add another video with the white flashing light when it moved.

Again the jitters in the video was my unsteady hand, the craft itself was smooth and slow flying. In this video the craft was barely moving.

Could of be a drone but in the middle of the night with no noise? Long flight time and I don't how far it was when it flew out of my sight.

See if other people saw it too or even got better video... disappeared out of sight just pass 1:30.

Thank you for the sighting report. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated, such as date, time, location, direction facing, direction object moving, speed of object, sounds, etc. The sighting was in Vancouver?

Witness Responds:

I made some research as to what some big police drone could look like in the dark and it could possibly be that. Maybe they were looking for something at a certain area.

And when it was flying west from my place, there is a police station about 1 to 1.5 km west from me

But to answer your questions.

Jan 20 2025. I first noticed after 1am. It stayed hovering for about 15 minutes then went west fairly fast but not impossible speed for a drone to achieve. Then it came back again and hovered again for about another 10-15 minutes before flying back west again. I didn't see it again after that.

I'm about east 2 Avenue and Scotia in Vancouver and was seeing it at about NNE from my window.

Guessing between 200 to 400 meter away.

May be 40-50 meter in elevation.

Only 1 object. Could only observe two flashing lights. The two lights alternated between flashing green and flashing red, and when the craft was moving a flashing white light was also seen in between the 2 other lights.

Didn't hear any sound at all.

And as for its size, it is hard to say since I'm only guesstimating the distance and altitude.

Mid-July-2021, Abbotsford, BC: (about 11:00 pm)

Dear UFOBC,

I realize I’m a bit late to share this, but with the recent wave of mass sightings across the United States, I’ve finally connected the dots to what I witnessed.

Between July 9th and 16th, 2021, at around 11:00 PM in Abbotsford, BC, I was sitting on my balcony with my roommate. We were deep in conversation when he suddenly looked up and said, “Hey, look at this crazy thing in the sky!” At first, I didn’t take him seriously, brushing it off. But after he insisted three times, I finally got up to see what he was so animated about.

What I saw was incredible. A brilliantly bright white light was moving across the sky, traveling east to north. It didn’t move continuously but in a peculiar stop-and-go pattern, pausing briefly before moving again. After several moments, the light shifted direction, heading north once more. Suddenly, a second light appeared—this one moving north to east—seemingly on a collision course with the first.

The second light blinked at a slow, rhythmic pace—about one-second intervals. Just as they got close, the second light vanished entirely. Meanwhile, the first light executed a sharp 180-degree turn, accelerated rapidly toward the east, made an abrupt downward turn (possibly south), and disappeared completely. The entire sequence lasted no more than 30 seconds.

If I hadn’t seen it with my roommate, I might not have believed it myself, let alone reported it. However, given the current buzz around UAPs, drones, and plasmoids, I keep seeing videos that remind me of that surreal night.

This wasn’t my only unexplained sighting. On May 8th, 2011, during the daytime in Amherstburg, Ontario, I witnessed something equally puzzling. I was attending a spiritual retreat with a group from Alcoholics Anonymous when we noticed something odd in a nearby farmer’s field: thousands of seagulls gathered on the ground. It was an unusual and unsettling sight, even for someone who’s spent over 40 years observing nature.

Not long after, two friends and I looked up into the clear blue sky and spotted a translucent, orb-like object hovering high in the atmosphere. It wasn’t solid but wasn’t entirely invisible either. The object hovered for about 20 seconds before vanishing abruptly—it was impossible to tell whether it flew away or simply disappeared.

I’m not sure how useful these accounts will be to your research, but I thought it was worth documenting. The recent surge of sightings has brought these events to the forefront of my mind, and I wanted to share my experiences for the record.

Thank you for the work you do in investigating the unexplained.

Blessings,

Chadk

14-Dec-2024, Vancouver, BC: (5:30 pm)

On December 14, 2024 at around 5:30pm, I was walking up Kingsway towards Burnaby, approximately Kingsway and Fraser, when I noticed a bunch of white orbs zipping across the sky. There were a bunch swooping around. What the attached video shows was really just the tail end of it. Totally aware these could be drones - but their appearance made me feel all goosebumpy.

Thought I'd share the video I took and see if you have any thoughts.

I've seen these white things a few times and I feel like they move around like they are being remote controlled, or that they are alive or something lol.

That said, I would love any further insights and be happy to answer any other questions.

10-Dec-2024, Cloverdale, BC:

Hello!

I saw a UAP on Dec 10th 2024 over Cloverdale in Surrey, BC.

The UAP first appeared as a solid Orange light, travelling from west to east near 64th Ave and 176th street. It was moving faster than a plane appears to move, and had no running lights. It was completely silent. As I watched and filmed the light, it appeared to split and become 2 smaller white lights. As I continued watching, it merged again (or one light went out) and began flashing red on & off - about 1 second on, 1 second off. It was very unlike typical airplane lights.

I have no idea if I saw a drone, satellite, or something else.

I shot a brief video of the object.

UFO*BC Responds:

Hello, and thank-you for the sighting report. I have sent you a few standard questions for you to help us better understand and document what you saw.

Richard

Witness Responds:

Hi Richard,
 
Thanks for getting back to me! Happy to provide all the info I can, see below for answers on all points.
 
• Date - 10th December 2024
• Time - 06:02 pm
• Location - in the sky above 64th Ave in Surrey's Cloverdale neighborhood, observed at the 176 street intersection.
• Direction Facing - I was facing south when shooting video
• Direction Object(s) moving - object moved from west to east
• Speed of Object(s) - difficult for me to guess, but it appeared to move more quickly than a typical passenger plane or light aircraft
• Duration of Sighting - about 30 - 45 seconds
• How the Sighting Ended - the object disappeared from view
• Number of object(s) - one single light that appeared to split and become 2 lights briefly, then it was back to a single light.
• Description of Object(s) - initially a glowing orange light, solid not flashing. The light appeared white when the object 'split'. It later turned red and began to flash slowly on & off.
• Apparent altitude of Object(s) - difficult to estimate, but close to the altitude light aircraft fly out in the area. Not as high as commercial aircraft.
• Sounds (if any) - no sound at all
• Any other details? - after watching the object & recording a short video, I became apathetic toward the experience. I felt I'd rather ignore it than think about it - this is unusual for me as it's normally something that would arouse intense curiosity in me, but I found myself wanting to forget about it.

16-Nov-2024, Kamloops, BC: (5:20 pm)

I spotted this while walking my dog in Kamloops on November 16, 2024 at 5:20 pm. I did not notice any audible sound and it hovered for at least 3 minutes. I have another minute or so of footage that shows how it was rotating but it’s a little shaky. Not sure if it’s significant or if there’s a simple explanation but would appreciate any insight.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thank you for your report. Please do send the other video, even if it's shaky. Would you be able to give us a few more details, such as:

• What direction were you facing?
• Direction Object(s) moving
• Speed of Object(s)
• Duration of Sighting
• How the Sighting Ended
• Number of object(s)
• Description of Object(s)
• Apparent altitude of Object(s)
• Any other details?

The light seems to be either above the clouds or reflected by the clouds. Can you think of anything in that area that might have been beaming lights up into the sky? Search lights or anything like that?

Am I right in thinking that this appears to be 3 or 4 lights in a triangular shape?

Thank you,

22-May-2024, Little Fort, BC: (about 10:00 pm)

Dear UFO Society of BC,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to share some footage I captured on May 22nd at around 10 p.m. While loading our car for a camping trip, I noticed something unusual flying in the sky. The object had multicolored lights, and I managed to record some videos of it. From the recorded videos, I slowed it down to check out the colour and shape which is almost square-like with rotating lights. As you can see in the video, it is almost a full moon night.

I'm not entirely sure what we witnessed, but the footage is alright, and I believe it might be of interest to your team. I would love to have your input on what you might think it is. I posted on Facebook a while back and nobody really had an answer. I learned about your society not long ago and it got me thinking I should be sharing this. 

Looking forward to your thoughts.

5-Sep-2024, Chilliwack, BC: (about 10:00 pm)

My daughter (33) burst into my place telling me to come outside. With both of us looking up into the sky, she said "ok, look at the big Dipper and to the left of the first star in the handle, and tell me what you see"... So I waited; less than 2 minutes. And then, all of a sudden, there I saw a blue light (the same size as the stars) appeared at the height a plane would fly, heading East. (It was green in my binoculars) It was silent, no flash, and going quite quickly. As it went over us, it dimmed and then disappeared... But that wasn't it!

Numerous others (25+) seemed to appear and disappear exactly the same as the first, some one after the other with about 2 minutes in between or what seemed only 40 seconds after the one before it appeared.

My daughter got out her phone and looked at an app she has, that shows the night sky including: the stars, planes and satellites going by ...and these were not labeled. We went out again last night, and absolutely nothing 🤔!!!

We'll keep our eyes on the evening sky as we do on most clear nights. Maybe we'll see them again and remember to hit record on our phones. If we see them again and manage to capture them on video, I'll update this report.

Any explanation or other witnesses would be appreciated.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thank you for your detailed sighting report. What you are describing sounds like it was probably a "train" of SpaceX Starlink satellites. There was a launch of these satellites on September 5 and numerous sighting reports across Canada.

Here is an example of what a Starlink train looks like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgysWWwESfU&ab_channel=ViralVideoLab

Depending on how recently the satellites launched, the lights can look closer or further apart. Here is some information about the September 5 launch:

And here is some information about when you might be able to see it again:

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/view.cfm?country=Canada&region=British_Columbia&city=Chilliwack

Does this sound like what you saw?

Thank you,
Holly

Witness Responds:

Yea, no.. this was most definitely not Starlink. I've seen Starlink before and this was not it. Starlink is a string of lights, these were one till it was gone, then another would appear and then disappear in the same spot the first one disappeared. Sometimes the next one wouldn't come for 2 minutes, or it would be only 40 seconds after the first disappeared.

One would come out of what would be the first star in the big Dipper constellation. That one would travel east over our heads and as it passed, it faded till it disappeared.

As I stated before, my daughter pulled out her star app that identifies everything in real time depending on where she has it pointed. We saw the starlinks on there, labeled as such. These had nothing.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thank you for providing more detail. We will update our website with your reply.

Without having seen the lights, we certainly cannot say for sure what they could have been. I have witnessed similar to what you are describing, and this is often a train of SpaceX satellites that have spread out over a greater distance, as they do within the days and weeks after they launch. The lights appearing in the same part of the sky and travelling in the same direction and at similar speeds would tend to indicate a series of satellites catching the sunlight in the same place. It is interesting, though, that you mentioned the differing times in between lights.

Thank you again for your report.

30-Aug-2024. Steveston, BC: (about 8:45 - 9:00 pm)

My husband saw this come out of the river/ocean in Steveston BC & I caught a bit of it on camera! It was blinking in & out & then it was gone! No boats were on water at the time and it was roughly round 8:45 - 9:00 pm on Aug 30,2024!

Also when it came out of the water hubby said it split into two orbs, then attached together.

Witness Responds:

It was on Aug 30,2024, at approximately 8.45pm-9pm in Steveston, BC, at Garry Point near concession  stand  facing towards ocean !

The objects were all over the place but hubby saw it go straight up heading east and spit into 2!

They were really fast and stopped & sat there then blinked (different colors) and jumped in & out! I can't tell how fast! The sighting felt like forever to us, but I would say at least 5-10 minutes!

The sighting ended when it stopped blinking and we could not find it anymore in the sky!

It was what looked to be a round object and was a solid light green color & then it moved & started blinking different colors!

I am not sure of the exact altitude as to me it looked like 100 frrt or higher and it moved quick!

No sound except  crickets

I took a video.

20-Aug-2024, Coquitlam, BC: (9:10 pm)

Good evening,

I was wondering if anyone else has reported a strange flashing light over Coquitlam that lasted for more than 10 minutes starting around 9:10 p.m. I'm near Lougheed and saw it North towards Burquitlam. It started with a blue light that then turned white.

It definitely was not a plane, it hovered, moved too fluidly, and made no sound.

Just curious if anyone else saw it, maybe even have an explanation (could it have been a drone?)

Thank you.

11-May-2024, Mission, BC: (10:32pm)

I was looking for a place to report a sighting that is local. I live in Mission BC and on Saturday May 11th at approximately 10:32 pm I was looking to see if there was any northern lights that evening in the sky and I witnessed a massive V-shaped object in the sky heading SW to NE. It appeared very high, extremely fast, smooth traveling and dead silent It had 8-10 lights that looked similar to our stars so it was not too bright. The lights were only on the two straight V edges from what I could tell. The sighting only lasted roughly 3 seconds so I had no time to bring my phone out unfortunately!

A good judge of the size of the object would be to stretch your arm out and hold up a tennis ball. I am very healthy with good eyesight. I have never seen anything like this ever before and this shocked me, from the speed, size and silence of this object there is no way it could from this earth. Everything that is man-made up in the sky is slow compared to this.

Hopefully there are other sightings of this event and I'm not the only one. This really bothers me and I needed to tell somebody besides my family.

The witness Further elaborates after speaking with UFO*BC:

As for my field of view that evening I stretch out my arms with a measuring tape in each hand and it was 3 feet field of view I am 6 feet tall. It looked very high my first thought, like skimming the top of the atmosphere or edge of space height only because the lights were lit up similar to the stars, but yes of course it could be lower at a jet's height with the lights dimmed down. The lights of a Commercial jet can be quite bright I find and I wasn't even close to that brightness. I know something that high must be enormous in size and hard to fathom but it is possible for sure for it to be lower, stealthy and silent. I had excellent timing on viewing this, I was concentrating directly in this area looking for any northern lights but It was nothing like Friday of course. 

I have been researching like crazy looking to see other similar uap's out there, I found one picture that looks very similar to what I saw that night and the only thing different is the lights in the picture look too bright. 

You're welcome to ask any other questions it is still very fresh in my mind I just wish my wife did not go in the house 30 seconds before this happened, it would have been nice to have another witness.

5-Mar-2024, Victoria, BC: (2-3 am)

On the night of March 5th 2024 at approximately 2:00 am I went outside onto my deck for a smoke like I usually would and to my surprise I had witnessed a Disk Shaped, Silver In Colour Object (with red & green flickering lights on the bottom of it and 2 yellow square shaped lights on the back) fly directly over my house so I quickly ran inside and grabbed my binoculars and as I looked through them with curiosity and shock it was in fact a ufo I highly believe! It also would tend to make diagonal movements in the sky and also never made any noise while moving.

It was amazing to witness because back in 2014 I saw a similar ufo or object while I was fishing up in Boston Bar, B.C (on the Fraser River) I do believe that we as humans aren’t the only race out there and I am now fascinated by my experiences and also want to investigate into them further. I have attached 2 drawing’s of the UFO’s shortly after both experiences.

Summer 2014, Boston Bar, BC: (6 pm)

Silver disk-shaped object with red, green and yellow lights. Sighted in the summer of 2014 over the west slope of the Cascade Mountains as viewed from the Stoyoma Creek Ecological Reserve in Boston Bar, BC. Stayed still hovering over the mountain top for a total of about 5 minutes then sped off and vanished into thin air.

Reported 20-Feb-2024
21-May-2011, Cache Creek, BC: (between 7-8 pm)

Attached is a photo of an object I observed May 21, 2011 at Juniper Beach Provincial Park, 19km east of Cache Creek B.C.

• I was facing southbound, near the western end of the campground.
• The time was approximately 7:00-8:00PM.
• The object hovered in the sky and briefly disappeared behind a cloud and then reappeared.
• The object looked like a white light, about 5 times the size of a large star.
• After observing it for about 5 minutes, the object left at extremely high speed in an easterly direction.
• It is difficult to know the exact altitude of it other than it was higher than the small cumulous clouds that were in the area.
• There was no sound heard from the object.

Additional Information:

I was taking random photos of the countryside and it was when I looked up towards the southern horizon over the mountains I saw it. No one else saw it as far as I know, although there were several other campers that may have. When it left, it took about two seconds to go the length of the horizon to disappear beyond the mountains to the east. Definitely much faster than any plane I have seen, and it accelerated instantly.

NOTE: The contrast and Gamma has been adjusted slightly to make the image more visible.

Early 1990s, Powell River, BC: (evening)

My brother Dan is 72. Back in the 90s sometime (I assume the earlier part of), during a period of his life when he worked at the mill in Powell River BC, he and a friend saw a black triangle craft. Not the standard TR3B type you see on TV but a long triangle shape instead. Others also saw the craft. It was very, very windy (maybe November) that night (maybe late afternoon or early evening). So windy in fact they could hardly walk and apparently so windy that it had sunk some boats. The wind was from the west. He and his buddy, Dave, didn’t see the craft come in, they only saw it over the mill. He said it was really big, silent, black and was only doing about 5 or 10 mph. He said that you could see the bottom of it and that it didn’t have any standard propulsion system visible. Then he said it slowly went out over the log booms where the old WW1 ships were (and are still) and in what seems seconds was over Vancouver Island to the west. He said it just zipped away. The entire time it was unaffected by the strong win

He also mentions that it didn’t have any lights on it but when it flew off, there was a centred red dot at the tail end of it.

The others that Dan and Dave spoke with all saw it as well. However they all said that they saw it circle around the mill first.

My brother only talks about this if asked. He’s not one to make shit up.

His son, Drew, maybe about 10 or 13 at the time I’m guessing, didn’t believe the story until Dan and his wife, Sue, told him to go ask Dave about it if he didn’t believe it. Dave told Drew the exact same run of events.

Ironically, Drew was hunting with Dan up near McBride later on when he was older and they both saw strange lights far away that looked like they were coming out of the forest. Weird.

I’m very jealous.

I’m sorry but I don’t know what year it was. Maybe someone else has already reported the same event?

1976, BOSS Mountain Mine Site near Hendrix Lake, BC:

We were living out in the Cariboo Boss creek Hendrix lake area  working shifts at the Noranda Boss mtn mine. We were having a party at our place, far from the city lights. It was a clear night, dark  and we were all quite "happy".

l went out to "pump the bilge" and was staring off into space...when l detected what appeared to be a "star", but then it started moving about in an odd manner, like a drunken sailor. Then it shot across the night sky at the speed of light - no propulsion seen. It did not "get up to speed", but was at full speed the moment it shot off and then far across the sky and stopped dead from full speed. Wow! It then gradually went back to where it had originally been hanging out pretending to be a star. When it moved you could tell that it was much closer than the stars but was just as bright. l called the gang out and for 7 nights we watched this thing go thru this performance. Each time much the same - the g's of the acceleration and dead stops had to be "off the charts". No human-made craft and no human could endure the g force that had to be present. It seemed to change color as it prowled about, sometimes red, sometimes more bluish depending on if it was going up or down. My witnesses all agreed at what we were witnessing and we confirmed it amongst each other cuz to start l was wondering if l was seeing things...but  we all saw it for 7 nights. It was in the same spot each evening  and was not hard to find. It was not of this earth.
