NORTHWEST B.C.’S resident UFO researcher Brian Vike will be featured in an upcoming TV show on Canada’s Life Network.

Vike, field researcher and president of HBCC-UFO, said a four-man television crew from the channel interviewed him at his home base of Houston, B.C., last week.

The show, called Magnificent Obsession, will also feature crop circles. The crew planned to head to Florida and England next.

Vike was joined by Chris Rutkowski, a Manitoba-based UFO researcher who compiles the annual Canadian UFO survey.

The crew taped 17 hours of footage for an upcoming show.

Last year British Columbia once again had the highest number of reported sightings in the country. But the biggest surprise is that two northwest, B.C. towns, Terrace and Houston, accounted for more sightings than almost anywhere else in Canada, according to the latest survey.

Vike says he received more than 100 different eyewitness reports from people in communities all along Highway 16 last year.

That included a large number here in the Terrace area — the undisputed hot spot of the region for UFO sightings in 2002.

Vike says CBC TV is also planning to send a team to interview him in Houston in the near future.
