1-Jan-95 North Vancouver
During the evening of Jan 1,
1995, from the 7th floor of the Lion's Gate Hospital in
North Vancouver, Mr. B. saw a huge triangular object dive
towards the waters of Howe Sound and then bank sharply
upwards and disappear. Total viewing time was only about 5
seconds.
1-Jan-95 Burnaby
EH was looking SE from her
Burnaby home at about 7:45 Sunday morning (1-Jan-95) and
saw a round dark object. It moved closer until it was
larger than her outstretched hand at arm's length. At this
point she noticed the birds in the trees around her were
"acting up". When she moved to an unscreened window to get
a better view, the object reversed direction and slowly
moved eastward and upward. It receded until it was a
pinpoint, then disappeared at about 8 AM.
8-Feb-95 Chilliwack
At 7:30 AM, "Ed" was looking
from the Chilliwack forces base to the northeast sky. He
saw a stationary oval, orangish glowing light - as large
as two fingers held at arm's length. After watching for 3
to 4 minutes, "Ed" looked away, looked back, and it was
gone. Being in the military he was very familiar with
normal aircraft.
22-Feb-95 Surrey
Lady traveling west on 64th
Avenue near 112th Street, about 5:30 AM on the 22nd of
February, saw a green oval light traveling from south to
north.
2-Mar-95 Burnaby
A man looking north in the
early afternoon, from his kitchen, saw 3 black objects
flying in formation. As he walked onto his deck he saw two
of the objects continue their easterly direction and the
third object slowly get larger as it came towards him.
Over the next twenty minutes it continued to move towards
him until it was about 45 degrees above the horizon. It
then stopped, moved slowly to the east, stopped, moved
slowly to the east, past it's original position, and then
started moving to the northwest, away from him. At this
point the man ran into the house and got his camera. For
several minutes he used the zoom lens to get a better view
of the object and then took one picture. An enlargement
showed the object as triangular and very black. Although
the day was sunny and clear, the object did not reflect
any light and looked like "a hole in the sky". The
enlargement also showed two smaller black objects in the
background.
5-Apr-95 Burnaby
A man walking in the
daytime, in same general area as 2-Mar-95 sighting, saw
three black triangular objects stacked vertically below
low cloud cover. They seemed stationary at first but over
a ten minute period they moved slowly upwards and
disappeared into the clouds.
12-Apr-95 New Westminster
Three people saw 2 bright lights over Queens
Park, about 1/4 of a mile away. One object shone beams of
light down to the ground. Sighting lasted for 25 minutes.
24-Apr-95 Abbotsford
While relaxing in a hot tub, a man and his
son watched a triangular object move across the night sky.
25-Apr-95 Abbotsford
While relaxing in a hot tub,
a man, his son and his daughter watched a triangular
object move across the night sky.
3-May-95 Abbotsford
While relaxing in a hot tub,
a man and his son again watched a triangular object move
across the night sky.
7-May-95 Surrey
Two couples traveling on
Highway #10, west of Cloverdale, stopped to watch a
blue/white light hovering over the field south of the
road. After watching for 15 minutes, one of the ladies
turned to go back to her vehicle and noticed a bright,
football-sized light 10 feet above her camper. She
screamed and the light slowly moved up and away. At this
point, they all got in their vehicles and drove away. When
they got close to the King George Highway (about two miles
away) they saw a blue/red light cross the road from left
to right.
17-May-95 Surrey
A couple near Bear Creek
Park watched a "dinner plate" shaped object hover over
Brookside Elementary School between 11 and 11:30 PM.
Rotating lights were seen along the rim of the "plate".
19-May-95 Surrey (bo)
At 4:10 PM on a clear sunny
day in the Guildford area a man and his wife observed a
bright white object slowly moving from the eastern sky to
the west. Object changed shape from small dot to
triangle. Object then took off at rapid speed to SE.
Caught on video tape. Total time of viewing 40
minutes.
28-May-95 Surrey (bo)
Same object as above returns
again, this time approximately 2:00 PM. Caught again
on video tape and viewed by 12 witnesses. Total viewing
time 10 minutes.
May/June 1995,
Victoria: (5:00 pm)
It was late May or June
1995, sunny and around 5 pm and I was in a car driving
along Shelbourne Street going North near the University
Heights Shopping Centre near Mackenzie Avenue. My daughter
was driving and I was in the back seat with my son when my
son noticed a bright light up on Mt. Doug. It looked like
a big forest fire, but there was no smoke at all. So my
daughter drove to a place where we could park and observe
it. By the time we got to a side street behind Morning
Side townhouses off Laval Avenue we could see that it was
not a fire but a very bright stationery light in the air
beside the top of the Mountain. It was shaped like an
inverted candle light or back of a rocket before take off.
It was vertical and just flickered very fast. There was no
noise. It seemed like it was about 80 - 100 feet from the
trees. So we watched it for a few minutes to see what it
would do. It didn't move or fly away. Then I thought we
should call somebody like the radio station to see if they
knew what it was. So I tried to call CFAX a couple of
times but I couldn't get through for some reason so we
just left it at that and still don't know what it was.
02-June-95 Vancouver (gmc).
I was proceeding east on the
Skytrain [Vancouver's elevated transit system] from
Granville Street Station, time was approximately 8:45,
weather was clear with some clouds. As Skytrain was
proceeding east from Main Street Station I was looking at
the north shore mountains and the lights on the Grouse
Mountain chairlift. I then noticed a large round
light on the western shoulder of Mt. Seymour, approximate
altitude would be 1500 feet. Time 9:00 P.M. The
light was pulsing at approximately one cycle per second
(it was more of a modulation than a pulse as the light
faded and brightened gradually not pulsing as in a
strobe). The light had a visible dimension of less than
one half degree. The colour was white with a slightly
yellowish tinge. The light started to rise and the
faster it rose the faster it pulsed. It rose to
approximately 3000 feet from about 1500 feet in a few
seconds. I lost sight of it when the sky train
entered the next station. When I could see Seymour
mountain again the light was not there.
11-June-95 Vancouver
At about 35 minutes past
midnight, a lady in her 4th floor apartment heard a very
loud, vibrating hum and her two cats "freaked out". She
opened the drapes and saw a long, dark, cylinder shaped
object moving slowly north to south. It was above the
Burrard Street bridge and was about 3 blocks long! She
phoned a friend who arrived in time to see it for a few
minutes before it disappeared to the southeast. Total
viewing time was about 8 minutes.
11-June-95 Surrey (bo)
Same object is seen for
third time. This time first viewed by children
playing in back yard. Children seemed excited and
began yelling "UFO, UFO". Caught on video tape again!
This time moved at extremely high speed.
Viewing time 3 minutes. 2:30 PM.
18-June-95 Surrey (bo)
Bright white light observed
again in afternoon sky in Guildford area by same man and
neighbourhood witnesses as three previous times.
Approx. 5:00 PM.
Summer
1995, Aston Creek, BC:
This
another sighting I had when I first lived out in Aston
Creek when I was 13 years old. This one, both my mother
and I saw. In my personal history, I have had five
different experience with witnessing UFO'S, even though
there are no recent sightings, I feel that they should
still be reported and I would have done so earlier if I
had the means to but I didn't know where to report such
things. To start this experience off, a couple days before
this night, my mom and I had seen a large odd ball of
light flying in a southern direction I think it was and
didn't really take much note on it. The next morning on
BCTV News, they stated that a large ball of light was
sighted down at the coast in the sky. I cant remember if
mom said they showed video of this ball of light or what
but she told me that she was certain that what she had
seen fly by our area was the same thing that was sighted
down at the coast about two hours later. If it was, this
thing changed its flight path of going southward to
westward, I'm not aware of any meteor that can do that
which was the conclusion reached on the news I'm pretty
sure. A few days later, early in the evening, it had just
gotten dark. I was inside the house and my mom came flying
in from the porch and told me to get outside and look up
into the sky. I remember there was a tree line that I had
to look above to see the sky and above that tree line I
saw the classic triangle shape craft slowly moving above
us. I wish there was a way I could draw this so I could
show exactly what I saw.
For
about five minutes or so, mom and I watched this thing
slowly move above us, and there was absolutely no sound! I
mean everything was quiet. The animals, not even the
crickets were making a sound, and this thing definitely
wasn't producing any engine type sounds. It was a triangle
and I remember being able to only see the bottom of this
thing because I remember the light formation on it like it
was yesterday. I was able to see that it had the three
lights at each point of the triangle and one in the centre
but I was also able to see faintly that there was dozens
of smaller lights the ran along of the outer edges of the
triangle that would change colours. I was totally
mesmerized by these lights because I remember seeing other
peoples reports of seeing a triangle UFO that had the same
characteristic lights at each point and the centre light
but no one ever mentioned the multi coloured lights that I
saw. Mom and I were able to watch this thing until it was
beyond the trees and were not able to see it any longer.
It would be interesting to know if anybody around the same
time saw the same thing in the area. It was very shocking
for me to see this UFO at that age and have to say it has
left an lasting impression on me and I swear to god that
both my mom and I saw this, I'm not making these reports
to get attention, I feel that it is important that I do
this because not everyone gets to see these things and for
some reason, I have had multiple sighting and feel that
there is more to this world then just us.
Summer
1995, Merritt, BC:
Back
in
the early summer of 1995 in Merritt, BC while I was up the
Coldwater Road Valley by the intersection with the
Coldwater Road and Coquihalla Highway, I was sitting
outside on the front porch of my friend's house with my
friend having a smoke. Something made me look up and what
I saw was a huge black flying triangle which I will
describe in more detail later.
Now
at
the time, I had never heard of such a craft. I always
assumed that UFOs were small saucer craft that zipped back
and forth with flashing lights, nothing more and that was
if they even existed at all. At the time I was not privy
to the internet and after the experience never thought
about it much as I just had no explanation what-so-ever.
That was until I watched UFO Hunters on TV in 2010 and
they had an episode on Giant Flying Triangles. I
almost fell out of my chair when I remembered what I had
seen and realized that the phenomenon was much more
prevalent than I had ever thought!
What
I
sat there staring up at 15 years prior was a massive
object. I vividly remember describing it back and forth
with my friend as we sat there. It was like looking at the
bottom of an iron you would use to iron your clothes. It
was not a perfect triangle shape, but the sides were
curved a little and the back was straight across. Slightly
longer in length than width. Basically the shape of
the bottom of a clothes iron multiplied by several hundred
thousand in size. I could only see the bottom and could
not tell how thick it was as it was a dark, clear night
and only stars lit the sky. (There was no ambient lighting
from any nearby cities.) We kept saying to each other "do
you see what I'm seeing?" and then we would describe it to
each other as if we thought maybe the other person
couldn't see it or one of us was going nuts.
The craft had small, faint, dim red lights dotted along
the bottom side edges, maybe 20 per side or so. The whole
craft seemed to be slightly cloaked. This part is hard to
explain. You could see it, but it was kind of faint. It
blocked out the stars as it passed between them in my line
of sight and that was basically how I could tell the
shape, except I could see the outline. It made no noise as
it passed over and flew at what I noted to be a very slow
speed. If I had to approximate a speed I might say a
couple hundred kilometers an hour. I really don't like to
estimate the speed because I could be off but it seemed to
move slowly through the sky and it didn't seem very high
up, maybe 4 to 6 or 7 thousand feet? It could have been
lower I don't know, I am a poor judge of altitude and it
was dark and I just really couldn't tell. It didn't help
that it was, as I mentioned earlier, "slightly
cloaked". It passed over us and we just sat there
and stared at it and made comments about it to each other
until it went out of sight over the opposite ridge to the
west. We watched it for about 10 minutes as it passed
over. As the craft flew it came from the east and flew to
the west.
I
have never seen anything unexplainable in my life
before this nor since, despite often gazing up at the
night sky while outside. This was a one time UFO
experience for me but after watching UFO Hunters and
the flying triangle episode I realized that I wasn't
going crazy that night and felt compelled to share my
story in the event that it helps someone uncover the
truth in regards to what these craft are.
18-July-95 Port Coquitlam
In downtown Port Coquitlam,
during the day, a woman saw a reflective disc-shaped
object traveling quickly from west to east. It seemed to
be very high up.
24-July-95 New Westminster
A young man saw a circular
object, with running lights made up of large yellowish
white squares, flying close to the base of the clouds. It
suddenly shot up leaving a hole in the clouds that lasted
for several minutes. Completely silent.
11-Aug-95 Kelowna
A couple watched a pulsating
red, green and yellowish object in the night sky. It
remained stationary for about an hour, shot straight up to
a new location for 1/2 an hour and the moved away. At one
point they saw what they thought was a satellite move
across the sky and enter the object. After advertising in
the local paper, another man came forward to verify their
story, including the "satellite" entry.
12-Aug-95 Surrey
A young couple were up late
(about 1 AM) watching the Perseid meteor shower. They were
just about to go inside when the man heard a humming noise
and looked up. About 200 feet above them was a large
circular object about 50 feet in diameter traveling slowly
from east to west. As it was just going over the house
they ran around to the backyard and watched it continue
westward, disappearing over the treetops and surrounding
homes. From below it was round with a purple ring of light
halfway from the center to the rim. From the side it was
saucer shaped with a rotating ring of lights in the
middle. As the couple was very impressed by the sighting,
they put on warm clothing and planned to watch the sky all
night. At about 2 AM they felt a vibration, heard a
humming noise, and all the dogs in the neighbourhood
started barking. From the east came the identical object
slowly traveling west. This time it was not directly over
them but slightly to the north. At about 3:30 the sighting
was repeated again, this time further to the north and
traveling slightly faster. They estimate the object was in
view 45 seconds the first two times and maybe 30 seconds
the last time.
12-Aug-95 West Vancouver
A 5 minute video was shot
from Cypress Bowl showing a panoramic view of the Lower
Mainland. Although nothing was seen at the time, later
viewing of the video showed an unidentified flying object
three different times. The first time it appears low in
the sky near the 2nd Narrows Bridge, the second time
higher and to the southwest, and the third time higher
again and further to the southwest.
21-Aug-95 Burnaby
Three people watched a very
bright white light in the night sky. It stayed stationary
for more than a minute then shot straight up without a
sound. It then moved away slowly, looking like a
thick-winged military type plane, gray with tiny blinking
lights.
31-Aug-95 Vancouver
While two brothers were fishing from their
boat they watched a bright , blinking cylindrical object
circling high over Vancouver.
Late August 1995 or 1996, Lakelse Lake, BC:
So
we
5 guys were in my small Izuzu car travelling from Lakelse
Lake back to Terrace a bit after dark. It was a dark and
gloomy night after a very hot summer, drizzly and nasty.
We (I) decided to take the old road back to Terrace
because we had beer in the car and the drinking age was
then 21, an age that we had not attained. We were
traveling at a probably sedate speed of 50MPH on the old
road that had originally bypassed a slide that went into
the lake a few years before. Basically a straight stretch
with a rise to the right with a power line above it
and a bit of a chasm on the left. The power line was a
recent addition to eliminate the diesel electric plant in
Terrace much prior to the Provincial grid. So then the car
lights and all electronics went dead. We were blind. It
was pitch black. My buddy in the front passenger seat
prospected for Canada by opening his door and we knew we
were on the road when we heard the door hitting the side
of the road. We were lucky to stop the car an 'runaway
lane' just after the road turned to the left and
went down and around. So there we were kinda suprised to
be alive but not to be scared shitless. So we got out of
the car and may have had a beer (surely a leak) and
started to talk about how in the name of God could a brand
new battery and a nalternator get trashed in the same
instant. Well we knew it had but didn't understand. I had
a Zippo lighter and we found enough metal and tools to
first short out the battery and second disconnet it and
short it out again in the case that the first short
faulted because of some other short. No spark. Bugger all.
Dead chemical battery. So we put it all together and tried
again. No go. What the F? So like all lads before and
after us we started to walk down the road we had just come
up. After a little bit I (we) noticed red orange lights
that appeared to flutter up and down the power pylons. My
first thought was fire but retrospectivley I think the
flash may have been 60 cycle oscillations. So madness
probably prevailed. We ran up the hill to check it out. It
worked out pretty well I think. I think I have memory of
looking down at something under a power pylon and a line
that was humming. To be honest I do not remember anything
cohesively from the time we left the road to climb until I
was, what do you call it, removed from the scene at about
3 feet above the windfalls. Myfirst thought, and still
with me, was I'm gonna break a fuckin leg. Anyway for
whatever reason we were all I guess levitated down to the
road from where we all walked to the highway. Three
hitched to Terrace and two of us walked to the lake. I had
not mentioned that the electrical grid was out. But when
we were returned to the car some time later the grid was
up and the lights and radio were on in the car. The beer
was a bit warm though. Jim
1-Sep-95 North Vancouver
A man and his wife saw a
round smoky-white ball traveling from east to west between
Burnaby and the North Shore mountains. Sighting was about
10 PM.
1-Sep-95 Maple Ridge
A woman watched a light in
the southern sky change colours, shrink to a very small
light, then move away very fast. As it moved away to the
west it passed a much slower moving plane. Sighting was
about 10 PM.
2-Sep-95 Parksville
At 10:10 AM a woman and her
husband saw a strange object in the sky traveling from the
northwest to the southeast. The object was tear-drop
shaped, consisting of a golden globe at the head of a
whirling mass of vapour. With binoculars, the golden globe
seemed to surround a black triangle and the vapour trail
encompassed 3 fiery streams coming out of the back of the
triangle. The object was silent and was in view for twelve
minutes.
6-Sep-95 Surrey
About 11:30 PM, a woman saw
a big blue object, pulsing red, orange and white above. It
was hovering over the Port Mann area. She has seen objects
there before.
9-Sep-95 Vancouver
In the afternoon, a woman
saw a silver object to the northeast of her home. It
stayed relatively in one location, doing small circles,
before drifting further to the northeast.
10-Sep-95 Burnaby
From his Burnaby apartment,
"Rob" saw a pyramid-shaped object over the Scott Road
Skytrain Station in Surrey. It was covered in many small
bright green lights. He saw it for about 7 seconds before
it disappeared over the hill.
10-Sep-95 Surrey
At about 1:30 AM a woman saw
a glowing orange ball in the eastern sky over Cloverdale.
She saw three blue balls shoot out of the bottom of the
orange ball and the orange light went out.
15-Sep-95 North Delta
In the early evening, six
people saw a triangular object with white tips and a blue
light in the center. It was over 72nd Avenue and 116th
Street and slowly moved to the west over Burns Bog
15-Sep-95 Langley
Looking to the south from
their fourth floor apartment, a man and his wife saw a
small, pulsating red light. They watched it for about 10
minutes as it got fainter and further away.
23-Sep-95 Burnaby
A young girl and nine others
saw a "flashing thingamajiggy going round and round". This
round object with a ring of lights was seen southwest of
Lougheed Mall at about 8:45 PM.
24-Sep-95 Port Coquitlam
A man out star-gazing with
his binoculars about 11:30 PM saw 7 objects flying in
formation very high up over the mountains. There were two
groupings, one of three objects and one of four, traveling
northwest. They made no sound but seemed to have a dull
glow about them.
Fall, mid-1990s,
Gibsons, BC: (night) HBCC UFO
At the time, Gibsons was
still a very quiet place. I was walking home, watching the
sky as I often do. The sky was dark blue or black with
stars with the occasional puffy cloud, lit from below by
the village street lights.
I saw only the front of what appeared to be a low-flying
passenger airliner. It was silvery in colour and rounded
in shape at the front. From the front backward, as far as
I could see, were what appeared to be lighted airplane
windows, square-shaped, perhaps 6 in number. I stopped to
watch and then it occurred to me that:
a) if a plane was flying that low I should be able to hear
engines, but there was no noise and
b) airplane cockpits are not lit up as passenger windows
are, nor was there a cockpit bulge.
This "plane", i.e. just the part that I could see, went
behind a cloud. I stood and waited for it to emerge on the
other side. It was a small cloud. It did not come out the
other side.
I heard locally that another woman had reported a UFO at a
around the same time.
2/3-Oct-1995,
Penticton, BC: (4 am)
I
had just finished work and was waiting in the parking lot
of Dennys/Sandman Hotel for my ride. As I sat on the
curb I observed the moon as it appearred to be full or
almost a full moon. The skies were mostly clear and as the
moon was was emerging from behind some wispy clouds into
the clear as I watched astonished, the moon closed in from
the outside edges. Pardon me if that's hard to
understand.. as if i saw it through an old pirate
telescope that swirls closed I have no other way to
describe it. I watched it do this about 4-5 times from
full moon and then "shrink" to a point of light and
competely disappear, and to full again very quickly. My
ride showed up just as my astonishment was becoming
disillussioned fear. I was relieved not to be alone. I
showed my friend Tom P what was happening and so it
continued doing that for another 5-10 minutes on the short
ride home. As we both watched. All total, the event lasted
about 10-12 minutes and the "moon" shrank and grew(?)
about 10 times. I believe now that i saw either a
projected image of the moon or a craft was in front
of it with some sort of focusing port at its center.
I dont believe anything I "see" since then.
14-Oct-95 West Vancouver
Six people, traveling back
from Cypress Bowl on the Upper Levels Highway, saw a
triangular craft with white lights in the corners and a
red light in the center. It seemed to pace their vehicles,
keeping just in front of them so that they had to crane
their necks to see it. When they exited onto the side
streets they quickly lost sight of it as it traveled south
over the tree tops.
18-Oct-95 Richmond
A couple were out for a walk
at Gary Point Park in Steveston about 7:30 PM and noticed
a row of tiny twinkling lights in the western sky, about
30 degrees above the horizon. As they watched, the lights
resolved into three lights in a row, at a 15 degree angle.
The lights seemed to get closer and then went over their
heads, without a sound. If the lights had been attached to
a single object, it would have been huge, but they could
see stars between the lights. The three lights continued
in a SE direction towards White Rock and were lost from
view in a few minutes. Total sighting lasted maybe 5
minutes.
31-Oct-95 Deep Cove
A group of about 10 people
were at the west end of Myrtle Park around 8 PM, waiting
for the Halloween fireworks display to start. They watched
a big orange ball travel along the mountains towards Deep
Cove. When the fireworks started, the orange ball made a
right angle turn and came towards the park. Whenever there
was a burst of fireworks it seemed to respond by changing
shape and brightness. The ball stayed in view for about 15
minutes and got as close as 500 feet.
4-Nov-95 Coquitlam
Several people watched a
very bright white light above the northwest mountains from
midnight to 1:30 AM. Although it remained in the same
position for one and a half hours, when the people went
inside for 5 minutes and came back, it was gone.
11-Nov-95 North Vancouver
A couple in North Vancouver,
looking south beyond Vancouver, saw two "pairs of lights",
one pair dim and one pair very bright. They are used to
airplanes circling Vancouver, but these lights remained
stationary. Sighting about 5:30 PM (dusk).
11-Nov-95 Surrey
From 11:15 until 11:35, a
lady watched two "pairs of lights" in the southern sky,
from her 16th floor apartment in Guildford. After 20
minutes she went to bed, but woke up at 3:36 and looked
outside. She saw the original sets of lights and a third
set lower to the horizon. At 4:17 two of the sets
disappeared to the southwest and the other set seemed to
"switch off".
