On
July 22nd, around 10 pm, we were standing
in an alley between 55 and 57 Street in the backyard of a
house on Knight Street. We were looking toward the
southern hemisphere at Jupiter and Saturn I believe. We
saw three red lights forming a triangle with a green
blinking centre.

Can
you describe what made the light appear to be something
out of the ordinary - what properties would lead you to
believe that?
What
did the triangle do? Was there any solid structure making
up the object or just 3 lights?
Please
feel free to write the entire event, and include any/all
details you can think of!
Thanks

I
was with an old coworker sitting in the passenger seat of
his vehicle as I asked him to wait for me to reserve a car
online. While I’m doing this on my phone he starts
describing three lights... long story short I looked up
and saw three red lights in a a triangle form with an
intermittent green flash in the centre. I immediately got
out thinking could be a drone and said, "Let’s walk closer
to see if we can get a better view.", but after walking
one block we concluded it was too far away to get closer
so there was no visual other than lights. After observing
for about 30 seconds it literally slid across the sky like
it was on a slide rail and the distance it travelled had
to be pretty far because from our point of view it looked
like it was on the west of Jupiter and then after sliding
across the sky It appeared on the other side of Saturn.
Note we did not lose sight of it travelling across the
sky. It stayed in this location for about 60 seconds and
then it slid back to the original position for about two
more minutes then it slid halfway between those two
points, turned into a white light and look like it shot
off into the distance toward Jupiter. Disappearing within
two seconds it also turned into a white light as it shot
away. We went back the next night thinking we could see it
again but we saw nothing. My coworker said, "Google it. I
can’t believe we are the only ones who saw it." When I did
I found recent sightings on your website and a video that
somebody took on July 22. In that video it appeared to be
the same three red lights, however it did not move across
the sky like we saw it and some comments on your website
suggested it was a weather balloon but I think not!

I
was looking west by the horizon (12:30) and a blue/black
orb with white and orange (what looked like flames coming
off the back) appeared out of thin air and flew across the
sky at no human like speeds. This is why I think it’s a
ufo. It drove in the sky in a perfectly straight line for
about 2 seconds. Then disappeared, then southwest in the
sky I saw a blue star appear. Around 30 (12:02) seconds
later my brother and I both saw the orb appear again and
fly downwards to the ground at a 25 degree angle. I would

To
your knowledge did a large high altitude weather balloon
drift over North Delta and Surrey, moving from west to
east, this afternoon around 5:30 pm?
UFO*BC
Responds:
I
know that UBC does release them from time to time, so
although it is possible, the timing is a bit late. Weather
balloons are usually released early in the morning to get
the thermals to allow to gain altitude, and by 5pm, they
would be far past the lower mainland.

41st
and fraser st Vancouver bc I took a walk to the Chevron on
main and 41st left my house at approximately 4:13am to
return at about 4:35 am when I had noticed a bright light
in the sky walking eastbound on 41st. this light was
brighter than any thing else that had occupied the sky at
this time which the ISS had just passed by us as well but
this light was still brighter and seemed lower as well as
2closer than anything and there's no way it was a
helicopter nor was it a plane. Upon arriving near my house
I decided I wanted to get a better look at the object so
me and my wife proceeded to head towards the memorial park
on 41st and prince albert where we witnessed the object
hovering as well reposition itself to stay with in our
eyesight. No craft I know of would be able to maneuver
like this thing had been able too as it moved in a lateral
motion whilst maintain height in a strafe like motion. As
soon as we seen the craft start to moved towards our
direction which it was moving at a good paced we started
to head back home but not before taking cover from this
things line of vision which then it had moved higher to
see over the trees and was once again in our view.
Thinking that the craft was noticing us we took evasive
action in order to break the line of sight just to see if
it had been fallowing us or had been watching us . it
stuck with us the whole way not once breaking the line of
sight between us and them. It seemed to have either a
sting of lights in a triangular or some sort of circular
pattern surrounding the craft also there was not a sound
at all coming for the object. I'm not sure what it had
been but I can honestly say it was no plane nor helicopter
and sure as hell was no drone. Someone must have gotten a
look at this light as well and so I'm hoping you have the
answer to what the hell this thing was or is.

way too big and bright.. and the color of it doesn't seem
drone-like to me.
UFO*BC
Responds:
Thank-you
for the report.
The
first thing we like to check is if it could be a natural
phenomena. Last night Capella was smack dab in the NE sky
around the 11:45 mark, at the top left from the moon (see
image below). Given that the object was remaining in the
same area, I suspect you may have been looking at Capella
as it is the 6th brightest star in our night sky. The
orange look is almost certainly due to the smoke from the
forest fires in the US (which is clouding up our skies
here in Vancouver).
Hope
this helps clear up the mystery and glad you can enjoy the
lovely evening skies this time of year!

Dear
UFO BC,
I’m
hoping you can explain what I saw twice yesterday. I
visited Cowichan Lake Tube Shack on September 12, 2020. I
entered the water on my tube at 4:47pm. Around 5:00pm I
was just floating while looking up in the sky to the east
I think and saw what appeared to be a hang glider way up
high in a cloudless sky. It banked in a counter-clockwise
fashion and then seemed to change into what looked like a
falling blanket comprised of four petals. Then it seemed
to fade away. Not sure if moved away at high speed, or
disintegrated, or cloaked? It was yellow.
A
few moments later, the same thing happen to the right of
the first one, this time white.
If you hold your arms out up in the sky about a foot
apart, that would be the visible distance way up in the
sky, not sure how far that actually is. All this occurred
at the max physical unaided viewable distance up in the
sky.
Is
this some sort of cloud reflection of water vapour
appearing then disappearing on a hot day?
Thank
you for being there, I was not sure who to ask about this.
UFO*BC
Responds:
I
honestly haven’t heard of that – it may have been some
type of gliders, but I would think you’d see a parachute
or similar system if it were dropping anything (as they
could harm whomever they fell on).
I
know that Google has been sending high altitude balloons
over Vancouver in the last week or so, so perhaps that is
what you managed to see?
I’ll
keep digging and let you know if we come across any
reasonable explanation to what you saw!

Hi

I
wanted to send in 3 pictures of an object I saw in the
middle of the day at about 215pm on September 3rd 2020. I
live at 209 and 78B ave in Langley BC.
It
was a clear day no clouds and I was on my rooftop patio
enjoying the sun. I looking at the mountains in the north
east when suddenly this white object appeared very high in
the sky. This isn't the first time I have scene something
strange in the sky at this address. 2 weeks before this I
saw a silver object in the sky but it was too far for my
camera on my phone to pick up.
At
first I thought it might be a drone but it was just too
high in the sky. The weird thing is that it just hovered
in the sky for a good 10-12 min not moving, then started
to come closer to me. It went right above me and then to
the east, and finally just disappeared. I have a Samsung
s20 and it has 30x zoom on it. I was able to catch 3
pictures at 30x zoom, which is max zoom. If you zoom in on
it, It looks like a square box with some kind of white
circular field around it. I am absolutely baffled at what
it could be. Like I said it was really high in the sky
definitely not a plane or a drone. I am very curious what
you think it might be.
Thank
you for your time. Cheers.

Responds:
We
actually saw that at approximately the same time outside
our atmosphere. The object in question was at a much
lower altitude and changed it's direction quite
abruptly. The ISS, if I'm not mistaken, follows a
consistent path like a satellite.
UFO*BC
Responds:
Ah
– so you saw them at the same time. Very interesting. Yes
the ISS’s “flightpath” is straight from horizon to
horizon.
So
in comparison to speed of ISS vs object, how do they
relate? How about luminosity?
You
said “moved with purpose” I mistakenly assumed you meant a
straight line (as in going towards a specific destination
rather than meandering about). Can you elaborate more on
what gave it purpose? It is an interesting choice of words
and I am very curious as to what you mean by it.
It
is always difficult to express one’s sighting into words,
especially as those words can and often are taken in the
wrong context, so I appreciate your patience in be trying
to get to the bottom of it.

The

The

When
I said "moved with purpose" perhaps an intelligence. It
wasn't just a random light or natural phenomenon in the

slowed down almost like when you're looking for a place to
park in a crowed parking lot.
It
then accelerated, took a hard right East and disappeared.

thought it was a drone but it would have been high enough
or even higher for an airplane’s max altitude. It was
silent (from what I could tell) and the orange was smooth
and not really flashing. It definitely was circular and
large, almost the size of a full moon. I was only able to
see the exact bottom from what it looks like and it seemed
there was a smaller circle inside the large one. It was
moving too fast for a drone or a light on a plane, and for
a second it seemed like another appeared before both
seemed to blink out of view or vanish. It only lasted
about a minute and before I thought to take a photo it was

Good
morning, I was looking on the internet and listening to
the morning news this morning to see if anyone else had
commented on or observed the two very bright flashing
lights that I observed around 60 degrees North East, on
the evening of November 6. They appeared to stay static
for about 5 minutes from the point that we noticed them;
plus however long they were there before hand. I first
noticed them around 9:20 pm. Very difficult to judge the
distance from where I was, or how far apart they were. I’m
guessing when I say that I think they might have been at
least a mile apart and hovering well within local aircraft
altitude. I tried contacting the Nanaimo Airport this
morning to see if anything had been reported, or perhaps
to see if the military had been conducting some type of
night exercise with two large helicopters, but I couldn’t
reach anyone. Given how windy it was last night, it would
be hard to imagine that two helicopters could sustain
their unwavering locations for as long as I watched these
objects, and no sign of flashing red tail lights that you
would expect from a helicopter. They stayed in the same
place for at least 5 minutes. There were no visible port
or starboard lights, just a very bright overall white
light. The timing of the flashes was consistent between
the two objects. When they eventually moved away, they
moved one at a time in a northerly direction and down
toward the horizon out of my line of sight.
I’d
appreciate knowing if anyone else reports in on anything
that seems to coincide with what I have described here.

Summer 2000, WhiteRock, BC
Hi,
I witnessed an object in the sky in White Rock BC around noon Summer of 2000 while walking outside my condo building pushing my baby in her stroller.
It was a beautiful sunny day with no clouds when a bright silver round object caught my eye high in the sky over White Rock City Hall area heading slowly West.
It seemed to be reflecting the sun so very bright and shimmery. I thought it was maybe a weather balloon, but for some reason it just hovered in one spot for a what seemed like a few minutes and It was like nothing I had seen before.
This is when it might sound weird.
I felt as if it was watching me and it knew that I knew it was watching me. It was like a telepathic knowing…I know it sounds odd.
I felt a sudden surge of fear and with that, strangely, the silver object zigged to the East in a flash and was gone. I have never seen anything move that fast!
I honestly was a little shook up having the feeling of being watched, even in broad daylight and not knowing what I had just seen. It was more like a personal encounter for some reason than just a sighting.
I only told my husband immediately after and no one since as I thought it was nothing too significant, but have never been able to forget what I saw or the feeling that day and felt it was time to share my story.

Then my wife said to me,what is that? I looked south where she was pointing Their was a large object heading in a easterly direction.Just to the east of our home is a light Industral area that always has bright flood lights on.
As the object was low and came into the light you could clearly see it.You could see a boomerang shaped object at that point.
The object was a grey metal type with rust on parts of the wings like it had gone through a rust storm.
The Boomerang shaped object was totally silence as it flu by.It continued east and was quickly out of sight.
We were just wondering if anyone in the Kamloops area had made a report.
UFO*BC Followup
Thank-you for the report.
I haven't heard of anyone else making such a report for that timeframe.
A few questions:
• How large was the object?
• How high (altitude) was the object, I would assume low as you could see it from the local street level lights?
• You are saying it went form a West to East or a south to East?
• Could you perhaps provide your approximate location so that we can see what the possible flight path of the object may have been?
Thanks and chat soon,
Richard
Good morning Richard. To answer your questions.
The object was approximately 40 (forty) feet long and from tip to tip of the boomerang shaped wing span was approximately 50 (fifty) feet wide.
It was flying from the West to East along the ridge of our valley which we figure was no more than 1000 (one thousand) feet high. It flew directly over top of us at a speed of maybe 20 km, very slow. We were sitting in our lounge chairs looking up at the stars. Jumping out of our chairs, now standing, our necks were tilted back as far as possible and we were looking at the underneath of the object as it flew over. Once it past over us we had a better view because of the neighbours flood lights.

Hi, I would like to find out if anyone saw a "bright orange ball" in the Northwestern sky (over Port Coquitlam) at 10:40pm on Saturday January 23, 2021. I estimated it to be about the size of a house. I was standing on my driveway (Pitt Meadows) and looking toward the northwest when I saw it t about 10 o'clock high, I ran to my house to get my son and he tried to get a photo but had trouble with his cell phone camera.
After it disappeared, we continued down the street and talked to two other people that had also seen it.
Update Info:
• the ball had smooth edges, it was bright and round
• maybe two or three miles (3 or 4 Km's) away
• it appeared to be as big as a dime at the of one's arm (went to the spot to check and this is what we came up with)
• we were standing in front of my house on Advent Rd (cross streets -190st and Advent Rd Pitt Meadows, BC)
• we were looking North West direction toward the Pitt River Bridge -10:40pm
• no sound from the ball
• I was about to walk my dog when I looked up to the North West and it appeared to be coming towards me, that's when I ran to the house to tell my son and he also seen it - tried to get a photo but that didn't work
• the ball was coming towards us then veered off to the left and went down out of sight of the trees- at no time did the ball disappear and then reappear it just went down to left out of visual contact - the object was probably visual for about a minute
• two other people at the end of the block seen it and they were closer, at 188 street, the older gentleman figured it was a Chinese fire ball that was lit but there was no flame, it was bigger than that
• this is my second encounter with a UFO type object, when I was 16 or so in Vernon, BC, me and my 3 friends were looking at the sky (south) when we saw a star (so we thought) start to go right to left then all of a sudden it shot back the same way it came and disappeared.
• at a young age I was always fascinated with the UFO story and I guess what really piqued my interest was the Betty and Barney Hill story from the 60's.
I hope you can find other people that seen it. We are close to the Pitt Meadows Airport so my son sent an email to them to see if anything was reported from their tower but no answer back yet.

This is a sighting I experienced in Sept 1971 in Delta BC. This experience has been reported to The National UFO Reporting center.
As this sighting happened here in BC, I wanted to have it entered on this sight as well.
I guess the thing that really stands out from the encounter was the way the object moved. When leaving its stationary position it moved in a wave formation with a shorter wavelength. Once it set down above the corn field and then a few seconds later starting moving again in a short wavelength.
Then as it extended its wavelength as it sped up to an astonishing speed where the wavelength was very long and zipped into space.
It was at about a 30 degree trajectory from the ground as it zipped into space. It seemed to only take 3 to 5 seconds from the time it left our location, till it was no longer visible. I estimated it left our atmosphere at a few hundred thousand kilometers per hour, at speed. After it reached speed you could no longer see the wave formation but only a streak of light.

Facing west about 650 pm, I was out walking my dog by myself it was a clear night, beautiful stars. I was looking up at the stars westward and all of a sudden a very large bright light popped out of nowhere high in the sky, it then flew or fell downward and west while maintaining same brightness, no trail or change in color, and then after about 5 solid seconds or more it disappeared.
Not like anything I have seen before.

I am in Cambie neighbourhood in Vancouver and at 6pm on Feb 11th, a triangle shaped object with 3 lights at each corner floated by the window, from west to west. The sun was just setting, the sky was partially cloudy. It took about 6 seconds to cross across the window and it appeared to fly too slow to stay up in my opinion. If anyone else saw this I’d be interested in hearing about it.
Update:
Which direction were you facing? I was facing south, looking over VGH and False Creek. I was on the ground floor of my house.
How high was the object? I can't be sure, it depends on how big the object was and I couldn't determine that, but my best guess would be approx 300-400 metres.
What happened to the object? My view is limited as there is a 2 story laneway house in my backyard but it slowly flew across from west to east and the trip took about 5-6 seconds.
How big was the object? Tough to answer this, if it was as far away as I think it was big, maybe like 30 metres on each side (equilateral triangle)
Any associated sounds? None
The lights, 3 each corner, or 3 in total? One white light in each corner
What colour(s) were the lights White
Could you see any structure between them? If so, what colour? Black
Any additional markings on the object? None that i could see.
Here is a crude sketch of what I saw. I can't believe no one else in the area would not have seen this. It was dusk, the object was well below the clouds (partly cloudy at the time).

I just wanted to report what I saw last night when I arrived home from work. It was 6:40 pm, February 19, 2021. I live in Prince George, BC, in the down town area behind Parkwood mall. My back yard faces the west. I pulled in to my drive way, parked, and entered my back yard to use our back entrance. While approaching my backyard I noticed three red lights low in the sky towards the west. They appeared to be rising from where I was standing. I ran onto our deck while watching these things and banged on the house window to draw my mother out. I continued watching these red balls of light rise and move closer towards our house. One was higher than the other two as they rose and then stopped when they were at an approximate height of 500 meters? I’m guessing at this, it was lower than the stars or satellites but low like an airplane taking off or coming in for a landing. There were no other lights on these red burning balls, they did not flicker or strobe, they had a weird fluidity with the red light that was very bright and intense. They formed a triangular formation, a long pointed triangle formation, one in the front and two in the back. They were all at the exact same height, the two in the rear were in perfect line with each other. They were bright burning red in the front. They travelled east. They flew past our home at a steady speed that never changed and there was no sound. Usually at this height when airplanes or helicopters fly past our home this close we will hear them. As they past our home I noticed they were spherical in shape much like a ball. They were like a frosted ball, and because of how bright the red light was in the front of them, the balls looked like they were glowing inside? It’s hard to describe. Take a marble or the rounded part of a frosted light bulb, put a candle flame in front of one side and you can see how it softly illuminates the inside and you can see that illumination from the back or opposite side. That was how these three things looked as they past our home. I watched them until they completely passed my neighborhood. Then I went inside and sent a message to my neighbor across the street about what I just saw. She told me that her and her husband also saw something unusual last night while they were driving along the North Nechako area. What they saw was a big object in the sky with red lights, diamond shaped and it disappeared as they got closer. It too was coming in from the west. What they saw was roughly an hr before what I saw. Our television also seems to have had some glitches or disturbances prior to seeing these things. Not sure if that is related. These were not lanterns or balloons, they were much larger than that. If they were balloons or lanterns, at the height they were at, they would have been difficult to see or track in our cloudy sky. They did not sway or bounce in the air as balloons tend to do, they remained steady and moving in a very straight line. As they travelled, their speed also remained the same.

My mum and I both just witnessed a very large rectangular ship-like object in the sky above the Hwy 1 & 200th St. (Cineplex Colossus) area in Langley, B.C.
We were walking and noticed just to the south at about 1000' elevation (although hard to know due to scope and scale of the object) a rectangular multiwhite lighted airship which looked between an A380 or 777 and an aircraft carrier slowly travelling across the sky (under a near full moon) from west to east. The sighting lasted for about 12 seconds. There were no clouds and the object appeared all of a sudden, it was very quiet as it moved about 200 mph linearly above us at a 2pm clock orientation to us walking eastbound as well.
There were about 30 various white lights in size, brightness and location on the object.
It honestly looked like a low flying object readying for approach to land at an airport but nowhere near YVR or YXX and YPK is way too small. After about 10 seconds of both of us talking about and sighting the object, it vanished/faded quickly within 2 seconds and we could not see it anymore. It was silent but massive and no way turned in any direction. I was unable to get a picture on my phone in time.
Did anyone else witness/report this sighting?

I live on Commercial and 10th Avenue in Vancouver BC. Tonight, on the evening of Dec 17th, 2020 from 9:45 pm to approximately 10:45 pm, I looked out my window facing the alley and saw swirling misty lights dancing through the sky. I've captured some on video but you can barely make it out do to the poor quality of my phone.

I just saw an Orange yellow like Light flying very fast from ESE to WNW few thousand feet up and parallel to ground and disappear behind the cloud toward west Vancouver( I was around main and 5th Vancouver sitting on my bed looking north) No fire trail like meteor would do It pass through my all field of view (est. After at 8-10 km) in about 2-3 sec. So a guesstimate speed in the 10’s of thousands km/ h Definitely a light, way faster then any plane with known technology and different flight path then any flying vehicle usually do around here, too big and too far of travel for a toy drone to travel and totally silent Just sending this info to hopefully have someone else happen to see it from a different point of view and report it to corroborate the sighting, trajectory and speed. More of the same info= more validation
Hopefully more saw it

I went outside waiting for the a pizza delivery when looking up at the stars I noticed them shifting to realize it was a weird light moving west then east
It was large and high up but no noise
I took out my phone and tried to hold still while trying to get it to focus but in the video you can see a light fly and fully disappear like turning off a switch .
I’ve seen iss and looked up immediately where it was and it wasn’t over me or near or the direction . I have seen planes and satilites which you can trace from horizon to horizon but this just turned off .

Hi there. I'm a lifelong resident of Pitt Meadows and this is the first UFO I have ever witnessed. It was April 13 at about approx 2145 hours when myself, Daughter and Wife witnessed same. I live in Pitt Meadows on 188 St with our backyard facing West with nothing but undeveloped farmland all the way to the Pitt River. I was taking my 6 year old Daughter for our nightly pre bed walk in the backyard and noticed what at first appeared to be a satellite moving very slowly at about 2 o'clock in the sky. I watched it on and off for a few minutes at which point it began to act in a manner ive never seen anything in the sky do before. At least with my own eyes. It began to make very unatural erratic movements by quickly moving upward then downward then across then back. It would move incrementaly in quick jumps. There were no discernible patterns nor did it seem to repeat it's movements. Up,down all around. It's movements appeared to defy physics. I've seen UFO's on tv that displayed the same characteristics I observed. It was very subtle and it's movements were confined to a very small area. Would love to know if anyone else witnessed this in addition to us.
