2005/2007
- Port Moody, BC
I cannot remember
the exact year....probably around maybe 2005/2007,
in Port Moody, BC....the season would have been
Spring/Summer/Fall, not winter. I have
buried this for so many years and it has always
been something that has bothered me.
It was night and I
was sleeping in bed....laying on my back.
Something made me awaken. I remember just
opening my eyes a very, very slight flutter – just
barely enough to get a glimpse. The room was
dark and standing beside me were two even darker
figures. Male and female. How I knew,
I don’t know as they looked exactly the same, but
I knew. They were human(ish) looking, very
slight build and did not have an enlarged head
like is described as alien usually. They were so
dark, like a very slight, slender person dressed
in a skin tight “cat suit/burglar outfit” which
also encased their head. I do not remember
seeing any features. The female was cradling
my head so I was turned towards them. They
were looking at me in almost an
examination/inspection type of way.
This scared me “out
of my pants”. I was so scared that I immediately
closed my eyes again and hoped that they did not
see that I saw them. That was my reaction
rather than trying to confront them as I did not
know what they were.
I immediately fell
back asleep. The next morning I awoke and could
not believe what had happened. It really rattled
me.
Then, maybe a few
days later, I had a “dream”. It was a dream
that was real. I was standing outside in the night
in the middle of my backyard. I looked
overhead and there was what looked like a computer
circuit board. It was beyond huge – like two
football fields. It was ever so slowly flying and
passing above me. It wasn’t all that high from the
ground really. It looked fairly close as I looked
up. I remember feeling all alone, standing there
witnessing this in the vastness of my yard. That
was the feeling. This scared me too.
That is my story
and just wondering, as well, if there was any
explanation about my descriptions.
2006-2007 Belmont
Park, Colwood, BC: (Reported 18-July-2022)
Probably
in the range of 2006-2007 in Belmont Park, Colwood
BC. It would have been some time after school, so
4-5pm it was daylight so likely during spring or
fall but I remember being clear so likely spring.
I was just finishing my paper route coming down
Belmont RD towards college drive making my way to
Tribune Crescent when I saw a dark slow moving
object. It's funny because it was amazing I just
both knew what it was and didn't as the same time.
It looked just like your stereotypical flying
saucer but dark. It was moving slowly and wobbly
like it was unstable or unbalanced listing from
side to side as it spun. It was so close to
the ground I could see detail of it spinning. It
was the side of 2 mini vans or so maybe bigger and
possibly no more then 200-300 feet off the ground.
It made no noise at all. I've included screen
shots of more visual detail.
That
was the most memorable experience of my life. It
was at a time no one was around, people were
either still at work on the DND in Esqimalt or
just got home and having dinner no kids around no
cars dead quiet.
Mid-January-2006, Fox Lake,
Yukon:
Sighting Details: the "ufo" was on the other side
of the lake above the tree line, me and a friend
of mine were watching the stars and we had our
eyes on this one that almost seemed to be staying
still.
We also were watching satellites,
the one "star" started dipping up and down almost
like how a snake would move then left to right and
just out of the blue it was gone.....
My family has a cabin located on
Fox Lake I've been going there since I was a
little guy and knowing the area to be a hot spot
it really didn't surprise me.
21-Jan-2006,
Cumberland, BC: (2:00 pm)
Note: I do
not mind if this is not accepted as I realize that
it is not a sighting but rather a time aberration
and therefore a very vague event. Nevertheless it
may be helpful especially if it correlates with
any other report in the area.
A friend of mine and I were walking on the town
side of the Hydro Dam hiking trails near
Cumberland along the Puntledge River. We decided
to walk until we were slightly tired and then turn
around and return the same way. We consulted the
posted map - there were no alternate trails to
take us back another way.
We were enjoying having the trail to ourselves and
walking quietly and leisurely. At some point I
noticed that there was absolute no life stirring -
no crows or ravens, nothing along the river bank,
no squirrels - silence. This went on along our
walk for at least 45 minutes. We decided to turn
around and did so. We got to a place on the return
trail and I said, "Did we walk across that wooden
slat bridge?" - neither of us remembered doing so.
Then immediately we were back at the entrance. I
mean, it seemed to take us about 10 minutes at the
most. That left 35 unaccounted for minutes. We
went in at 12:30 we came out at 2:00, we paused
briefly on the way but everything was wet so we
didn't sit or linger too long.
We both looked at each other and asked, "What
happened here?" It was then that I realized that
the woods were still totally silent and I got a
weird feeling. Just that. No visuals, no
witnesses, no hard data. Just missing time, an
unfamiliar piece of the trail and a time
discontinuity.
1-Feb-2006,
Nanaimo, BC: (7:30 pm)
As I walked along a paved pathway which
follows Newcastle Avenue along the ocean in
Nanaimo, I noticed a strange light in the sky that
appeared to be hovering in one spot. With nothing
better to do, I began to watch it. It sat still
for the amount of time it took me to smoke a
cigarette. Then, from out of nowhere, another
fiery light, exactly the same as the first one,
materialized in the sky to the right of the first
object. It, too, sat motionless in the sky.
Curiously, I watched them when all of a sudden
four more lights the same as the last appeared in
the sky. The first two objects began to move in
opposite directions and the third one that
appeared then ascended into the sky and vanished.
The remaining five objects operated independently
of each other and all of them moved around the
sky; two of them moved a great distance. Then as
quickly as they appeared, they began to leave, one
after the other. They simply flicked out like a
light. I reported this incident to the Nanaimo
Daily News and they printed a story about it Feb
8, 2006. The airport is quoted as saying it
must have been a jet heading for Vancouver. A jet
that could break into six pieces that all could
still fly maybe...
1-Feb-2006,
Nanaimo, BC: (8:00 pm) HBCCUFO
On CBC Newsworld today, May 29, 2006, she
presented a story about a UFO caught on tape in
Saskatchewan recently. When I saw the video on TV,
I freaked. In February, here on Vancouver Island,
I, as well as friends of mine, saw the exact same
thing as what was on the news today. The first
time I saw them, I was walking along the ocean
shore when I saw a very bright light in the sky
that just sort of appeared from out of nowhere. I
lit a cigarette and sat down to watch the light.
By the time I finished the smoke another
light had materialized from out of nowhere. Now
there were two. Then, with no warning these things
started to pop up until there were six bright
fiery lights in the sky before me. I was as
shocked as I was amazed, and it was enough to
scare me into a retreat away from the isolation of
where I was. These lights not only hovered
motionless for several minutes, but also moved
independently of each other. The two on the
outside edge of the line flew in opposite
directions as if to change sides with each other.
The one from far left crossed over to take the
spot of the one on the far right. One of them also
flew vertically up into the sky. One minute it was
there, the next it was gone. After some time the
others also vanished like a light was switched
off. The entire sighting lasted nearly fifteen
minutes. Then I started to see these things again
at different times. I told some friends of mine
what I was seeing, then to the complete surprise
of those very friends, when I was at their house
visiting them, I went outside to smoke and one
appeared. I called the whole family, kids and all,
out to see it. When they came out, another light
appeared from out of nowhere, now there were two
of them. As they only appeared to be about
five miles away, I suggested we jump in my car and
try to track them, but my courage was not met by
my friends. It was too much for them to handle.
On at least no less than five other
occasions, from Feb 1, 2006 when I first saw them
to about March 20, 2006, I saw these strange
objects. I had almost convinced myself they had to
be planes, even though they were bright orange and
had no blue or green or red lights like a plane
has to identify itself. Besides planes don't
remain motionless for minutes at a time then start
to fly again. Planes don't elevate vertically
either, which my objects did. The only problem
with that is I haven't seen one since, so, did
planes stop flying since then? If they were planes
I would see them all the time. Anyway, I would
like to hear back about these sightings of mine,
in hopes of connecting with people who share a
similar experience. I would sure like some answers
about these things.
Thank you to the witness for taking the
time with me on the telephone when I called. This
is an unusual sighting. Also, I would like to
thank Barb Campbell of UFO Saskatchewan for having
the witness contact me.
UFOBC
Note: To the
west Nanaimo does line up with the runways of
Vancouver International Airport. My residence is
lined up with them as well but to the east. When
the planes are landing and taking off to the
eastern direction I observe exactly what the
witness above has reported so I suspect the
witness was watching planes on final approach and
taking off. When I have viewed them their
headlights are very bright and they appear
motionless on their final approach to land for
several minutes . When they are taking off they
appear to ascend straight up (vertically) quickly
and disappear when they switch their headlights
off or enter a cloud. Vancouver International
Airport can get very busy and I have seen up to 5
lights hovering (on approach to land) and 2 taking
off at the same time (ascending vertically).

An object continuously
flickering, does not move with the other stars so
it can not be a star or planet. At times flashes
of red and blue light reflect off of it - although
I describe colors they are not, in fact, colors
but almost a hue of a color like ????? Very odd.
Can only be viewed during dark hours.
11-Feb-2006, Richmond, BC:
(6:00 am – 8:00 am)
The bright light appeared in the sky around 6am
and was visible till 8am on Saturday Feb. 11th. I
grabbed my video camera and filmed the object,
which was expanding and contracting, morphing
itself, with pink and purple lights appearing on
both the left and right side. At one point in the
film, it changed it shape from 7/8 of a circle
(flat line bottom) to 3/4 of a circle with a
definite straight line on the right and half
circle on the left.
I filmed from 6:20 am till around
7:10 am and during this time the object moved from
what looked to be directly over someone's house to
the height of a star, decreasing its size as it
moved further away. Near the end of my filming,
two small white lights appeared and morphed into
the larger light, which was difficult to capture
on film, as every time I tried to hit the record
button my camera would malfunction! This is the
third video I have, the others were taken in 2005
and 2002 in the same proximity and always when we
were either approaching or experiencing a full
moon.
3-Feb-2006, New Westminster, BC: (6:55
am)
This morning at approx. 6:55 AM I
was looking out my window facing south east and I
saw an orange object that separated in the middle
and where it connected at each end was wide......
Call me crazy but I think it was a UFO..... Out of
curiosity I want to know if anyone in the lower
mainland may have seen it as well.
27-Feb-2006, Terrace, BC: (4:57 am)
NUFORC
It may have been a jet. It came from
the SE sky very fast for being so far away. It had
red and white blinking lights (I saw 4 to 5
distinct lights). It traveled from east to west
for about 10 to 15 seconds and then, what
surprised me was the 180 degree turn, within 2
seconds; and in another 10 to 15 seconds
disappeared. It may have been a jet, because there
was a sound like a jet, but Canada doesn’t have a
jet like that.
12-Mar-2006, White Rock,
BC: (5:36pm)
The witness Malcolm Corey (age
75) observed a very bright orangey/white ball
moving from NNE to SSE in level flight at a steady
pace that took it out of sight in a period of 5
minutes. Visually it appeared to be directly above
the White Rock and the witness speculated that it
either landed on Orcas Island or crashed into the
sea in the same vicinity. During this sighting the
sky was clear of any clouds and the sun was
shining and overall visibility was first rate.
(P.S.) This witness has had previous sightings in
Ontario over a RCAF base and also at a secure site
on Vancouver Island a good few years ago. His 8
previous sightings are described in detail along
with drawings in UFO*BC Quarterly - Vol 4, No 2 -
Spring 1999.
12-Mar-2006,
Vancouver, BC: (9:55 pm) NUFORC
Just
coming back from shopping and I noticed two lights
in the sky that were the same approximate size as
Big Dipper's stars. I called my girlfriend to see
it. They were adjacent to the two stars on the big
dippers handle and slightly smaller distance
apart. they moved in one direction parallel to the
handle quite slowly (about the same speed as one
might see in a high moving plane). They were too
high to have been a plane as well as not hearing
any noise associated with them. I work with
helicopters quite frequently so am sure it was not
a sighting of this nature. As they move in the
same direction the first light began to fade as if
it was drawing upward and the second followed
shortly after. It was a totally clear night and I
know that it was not a couple of planes or other
objects that I could explain.
20-Mar-2006, Coombs, BC:
(8:00 pm )
I'm not sure if this was a
sighting but it was something I had never seen
before. I was heading to my back door to lock it
for the night when a flashing light way off in the
sky caught my eye. There were no clouds in the sky
and all the stars were bright; however, this one
light was different. It almost looked like it was
rotating quickly. The lights were very bright and
periodically also flashed red, yellow, green and
blue. Sometimes there appeared to be a glow around
the object. As I was facing south, I knew it
couldn't be the North Star so I thought that maybe
it could be an airplane. It stayed in one spot for
a few minutes then started moving around in all
different directions, (like an inflated balloon
let go), sometimes slowly and other times rather
quickly. I then saw airplane lights going across
the sky and realized that this object looked
nothing like the airplane lights. A few times it
disappeared as if it flew quickly up and away, but
would then reappear in a different spot.
I watched this on and off for a
few hours before it finally disappeared from my
view. Each time I went back to look at it, it was
in a different place and still darting around in
different directions.
22-Mar-2006,
Burnaby, BC: (11:05 pm) NUFORC
My
girlfriend and I heard a loud and deep explosion
unlike anything you would ever hear on any given
night. I thought it must have been a large gas
explosion, but according to news reports it wasn’t
the case. Here’s the only scoop I got on it so
far; maybe it was a UFO? News clipping: Nah. It
couldn't have been a meteorite. Could it? Mar, 23
2006 - 2:20 AM BURNABY/CKNW(AM980) - A loud
explosion in Burnaby late last night has
authorities scratching their heads. About 11:05
the blast rattled windows and awakened neighbours
near the Chaffey Burke Elementary School on Abbey
Avenue. Police responded with officers and a dog
but came up empty handed. All they could find was
a small hole in the ground. No damage has been
reported and there were no injuries.
2-Apr-2006, Vernon, BC:
(9:30 pm) HBCC UFO
I was outside enjoying the clear
night and bright sliver moon when I noticed
movement from the south sky. It was an orb, under
satellite height and moving a little faster than a
satellite. It brightened for a second to a white
brilliance, then dimmed back to the brightness of
a satellite. As I tracked it's direction toward
the WNW it accelerated in a straight line
appearing to "take off" like a plane on the runway
heading away from the atmosphere.
4-Apr-2006,
Vancouver, BC: (8:23 pm) NUFORC
My
11 year old son called me outside to show me an
unusually bright object in sky. He got out his
telescope and was able to determine that it was a
triangular object hovering in the sky with red
pulsing lights and the blue flashed about every
minute. There appeared to be orange light. It
stayed in the same position over a tree for about
an hour and then gradually moved to the right for
around 10 minutes. It stayed in this position and
then gradually moved to the right taking about 20
minutes and then it suddenly disappeared.
There
were about 4 other craft or object like this in
the sky to the right of the above described event,
but they were further away. However through the
telescope we could see the same flashing lights.
This was witnessed by myself, my 11-year-old, my
7-year-old and my neighbour. ((NUFORC Note:
Celestial body, possibly a twinkling star, we
suspect. PD))

Triangular
object travelling at very high speed with three
lights with no audible sound = UFO?
A
very quiet and clear sky night with lots of stars
in the sky. I was smoking outside of my house
looking up the sky to check out the beautiful sky.
I saw a (triangular) object with 3 dim lights
travel at a rather high speed from east to west. I
live rather close to the airport so I can tell
what kind of normal airplane speed looks like up
in the sky. What I saw was a high speed UFO with
three dim lights travelling at a high speed
without any audible sound. I waited for at least
for another 10 seconds to see if sound could be
heard. There was absolutely no sound. I couldn't
really see the shape of the object because it was
dark but I certainly saw three dim lights with
identical intensity.
5-Apr-2006, Vernon, BC:
(4:45 am - 5:45 am) HBCC UFO
I had a restless night, so at
4:30 this morning I was outside watching the
Northern Lights when I spotted a globe (orb) very
slowly heading east. This orb appeared to be very
low in the sky. A short time later there was
another globe very slowly flying south. This one
appeared to be higher in the sky but also appeared
to descend lower as it went south. A short time
later there were two in the sky, one going north
and the other going south. It looked as though one
was flying at a higher altitude when they passed
each other, as it was smaller than the one heading
south. All the orbs stayed at the brightness of
the smaller stars and were moving slowly. Not like
the other night when the orb I reported
accelerated so fast, leaving no trail, that my
eyes crossed following it. I checked the
Heavens-Above to make sure that they weren't
satellites, and hoping I read the chart right
there were no satellites at this time.
11-Apr-2006, Ft. St. John, BC: (4:30 pm)
I was entering a friends house
when I looked up and saw this large bright object
moving across the sky. It was like a backward "C".
It made no sound and moved at an angle to the
wind. I managed to get a minute or so of video
before it went behind a cloud and never appeared
again. It was at approximately. 3500+ ft.
16-Apr-2006, Abbotsford, BC: (8:00 pm)
HBCC UFO
I live in Abbotsford near highway
#1. I saw a green flare like object in the sky on
the evening around April 16, 2006 or so. I was in
my room, which faces south, and all of a sudden I
notice what looks like a green flare. The curious
thing about this flare was unlike most flares that
go up and down, this one was traveling west and
slightly down.
It looked like it was traveling
along highway #1, but it could have been further
south. I thought it might be a meteorite except
for its green color. It did look like it had a
trail on it. In my opinion, it traveled too fast
and too far to be a flare. I even called the
police department and reported what I had seen. I
asked if they had any other calls about this and
they said they had not.
18-Apr-2006, Christina Lake, BC:
(10:45pm) HBCC UFO
Two couples reported seeing a
disk shaped craft skimming over Christina Lake. As
the people watched, the object flying at a low
altitude, yet dropping downward towards the lake,
and raising back up again, back to an attitude of
roughly 500 feet above the lake. The object
appeared to be internally lit, giving off a soft
yellow/white glow. There also was a line of bright
blue lights in a Marquee running around in a line
in the center of the object. The object wasn't
moving at a high rate of speed and everyone
watched the event for approx: one minute before
they lost sight of it.
They report that a slight humming
sound which could be heard as the object moved
down the lake. The witness I talked to said others
had to have witnessed this strange sight.
23-Apr-2006, Coal Harbour, Vancouver:
(8:00 pm)
I was out for a walk on the seawall
when I decided to stop and rest on a park bench.
As I looked out over Coal Harbour towards downtown
Vancouver, I noticed a dark object that was
approximately over the downtown core. It didn't
look like an aircraft because it was dark and was
seeming to be changing its shape as it slowly
moved west towards English Bay. My impression was
that it looked like one of those parasail type of
aircraft that use a parachute instead of a wing,
but it seemed pretty strange because all I could
see was a dark shape with no evidence of anything
suspended beneath it. I watched it for about 10
minutes and it was last seen over English bay
still proceeding west. It was mostly crescent
shaped and seemed to be floating like a balloon
rather than flying like an aircraft. I observed
two aircraft flying on an easterly course about a
kilometer north of the object, maybe they saw
something too.
24-Apr-2006, Kamloops, BC: (1:02 am)
HBCC UFO
Triangular Or Boomerang Shaped
Object: Hello Brian, last night at 1:02 am my
girlfriend and my self saw a triangular or
boomerang shaped object fly over our home in
Kamloops, British Columbia. The object went from
north to south and the sighting lasted maybe
thirty seconds. It appeared to be a gray-white
with a illuminated edge, it was hard to guess what
the altitude would be.
The object was visible for most
of what you could call the geodesic dome above us,
a constant direction with semi erratic line in
it's direction before it just disappeared. It was
not a bird, not a plane, nope not a meteor and not
a satellite. The only other thing of note is, just
before it disappeared there was a small flash,
like flipping a coin in the sun. Not like the
constant reflection of a satellite, too fast, too
close. As far as distance, up about the same as
looking at your thumb nail with your arm extended.
Pretty close. Thank you Brian, just thought you
might have had a similar report. Time 1:02 a.m.
and on April 24, 2006.
24-Apr-2006, Terrace, BC: (7:32 pm)
My wife and I were looking out
over the town, watching people come in and out of
the skating rink. All of a sudden I said "LOOK"
and pointed out the side window. Two bright
lights, like Flares going straight across the sky,
and disappeared. It lasted about 5 seconds, about
twice as high as the arena.
I opened the door and jumped out
looked around to see if there is anything else
around. I said “Did you see that?” She said,
“Yes”. I never seen anything like this before.
Weather: Nice sunny day, some clouds moving in.
Temp. 13 deg-C.
24-Apr-2006, Terrace, BC: (7:35pm) HBCC
UFO
My husband and I were watching
our son riding his bike facing south I think. When
suddenly we both saw three lightning-blue balls
with tails, one large, one in front, and two at
the sides that were the same, but smaller.
They moved together, silently
through the sky from our right to our left sides.
They were fast, but yet slow enough that we both
could say do you see that, and look back. Our
house was in the way to see if they went anywhere,
other than straight across they sky. My husband
thought maybe they were fire crackers, until he
realized in the same moment that they were silent.
Our neighbors trees blocked the view, so when we
asked, they had not see them.
What ever it is/was they flew
below the clouds and were beautiful. The time was
7:35 pm, I raced in to look in the phone book,
thinking there would be a number for me to phone
to report my sighting. I would never have told a
sole, except for the fact that my husband is a non
believer of anything, and even he saw it.
Thank you to the witnesses for
the report. As soon as I received the report I
picked up the telephone and called the folks. They
were very nice and explained in detail as to what
they witnessed. I then contacted the Terrace
Standard newspaper and hopefully I will be hearing
from them tomorrow, plus I also will be making
enquiries into this, to see if I can find an
explanation for what the people saw.
25-Apr-2006, Grand Forks, BC: (9:05 pm)
HBCC UFO
My boyfriend and I only a few
moments ago were outside on the patio, when we saw
a round white orb moving at extremely high speed
from West to East. It was would glow really bright
and then it would get really small like it would
get close and then fade away.
Within maybe 25 seconds it was
already on the other side of the house. It did not
fly in a straight pattern, it was waving back and
forth. I managed to snap 3 pictures. We are really
excited and still in awe, as this is my third
sighting.
29-Apr-2006,
Chilliwack, BC:
I
was walking with my girlfriend through Prospera
Centre; it was dark and I could see the stars very
well. I saw something that looked like a star from
afar. Then I thought it moved. My girlfriend said,
“No,” so we continued on. I was sure it was
moving, so we both stopped and looked at it. There
was no sound at all. It was way bigger than any
satellite out there. It was going as fast as a
satellite. It was extremely bright and it was an
even brightness. It crossed the sky and right
after it went over us, we saw a satellite going in
almost the opposite direction. The satellite was
WAY smaller. Immediately I told my girlfriend that
it could be the International Space Station, but
why haven’t I seen it before? It only went
straight. It didn't make any sudden changes. It
just crossed the sky very fast.

Victoria, BC: (11:35 pm) NUFORC
I
was having a smoke at about 11:35 PM and looked in
the sky and noticed a very bright light and
thought it was a plane. It was not moving for
about 5 seconds and then it started to move like a
snake upwards. As it got higher, the dimmer it got
and then disappeared. It was just a round bright
light. Then, on May the 3rd, it happened again.
Approximately the same time and place in the sky.
This time it was shaped different. More like a
triangle with bright lights at each point. Lasted
for less than 1 minute and then it was gone.
2-May-2006, Maple
Ridge, BC: (4:35 am)
The
witness was getting ready for work at 4:15 a.m.,
when he suddenly noticed a "humungous" bright
white light in a southwesterly direction. The
light remained constant in its intensity and based
upon the altitude of aircraft approaching
Vancouver, he estimated it was at 10,000 ft and
possibly over the Fraser River. The object
continued in an easterly direction before slowly
turning south and finally disappearing from view
in the direction of White Rock(?). The time was
4.35 am. The witness had gone outside but had
heard no accompanying sound; everything was
totally silent. The witness phoned "News 11:30"
and learned that they had no other reports. They
did say a blimp was flying around the city but was
not airborne before 7:30 a.m. The witness
reckoned the craft had to be at least 100' across.
A call to the Delta police revealed, again, no
additional reports of this nature. This witness
has had no previous sightings.
2-May-2006,
Abbotsford, BC: (5:12 am) NUFORC
My
fiancé & I were on our way to work this
morning, pulling out into the street outside our
condo, driving north. When almost immediately, I
noticed an object that looked, to my first
thought, like Saturn and it's rings.
I
quickly dismissed this as A: the object appeared
to be the size of the moon in the morning's sky,
and it was far too low and to the north of us
(appeared to be over an area following the Fraser
River, or the mountains in behind Mission, BC,
well to the north of us). As we stopped at
the intersection for a left turn, I watched the
object closely as it slowly moved through the sky
(moving west to east). Noticing for the first time
a single flashing light on the upper ceiling of
the object (similar to those found on aircraft).
Other than this one flashing light on top, it was
illuminated only by the rising sun (which was
still blocked by mountains for us at ground
level).
Driving
along the main road through the city westbound, I
kept watch between buildings for it. My fiancé,
who I'd pointed the object out to while stopped at
the intersection, and I saw it continue slowly
eastward. The second time that I got a good look
at it, it had lost it's Saturn effect, my guess is
that it had been banking towards us at the time,
and you could see the ring edge on.
I
spotted the object a third time while driving, but
we had driven far enough westward, and it moving
eastward that the sunlight effect wasn't occurring
anymore because of the object's position between
the sun and ourselves. It looked more like a dark
blob in the dawn sky.
Belatedly,
about a minute later, I recalled that my fiancé
had a camera phone and that I'd been too busy
watching the object to even think that we could
have taken a picture. I've seen enough planes
& jets & blimps in the many years I've
lived in the city here, and I've never seen
anything remotely like it. It was too slow to be
an airliner, nor was it the correct shape.
With
the annual air show at the city's airport, I've
seen everything from the Avro Vulcan to the
Stealth Bomber.
I
also rule out being some kind of blimp, as I've
seen plenty of those every time the Goodyear blimp
has made flybys of the air show. We've also had
our fair share of hot air balloons (Remax
typically is the one flying around) but they're
easy to spot because of the flame providing heat
for lift.
I
don't know what it was, hence I guess, the reason
why they call them unidentified flying objects.
But the usual suspects can pretty much be ruled
out. Short of it being some funky blimp or hot air
balloon, which I've seen both and neither of which
appears or behaves like this object did. But
I know I'll be keeping my eyes to the skies more
frequently now.
10-May-2006,
Langley, BC: (approx. 11 pm) HBCC UFO
I
was driving toward an intersection and noticed a
light higher than the street lights but not
terribly high in the sky (maybe 100 feet). It was
motionless and very bright. There was no sound
from it. There was not a lot of traffic so I was
able to slow down and look at it. The night was
clear with no precipitation.
As
I watched the light, it turned off, but not like a
light simply going off - it kind of enveloped in,
towards itself, if that makes any sense. When it
was out, there was nothing to see, no other
lights. It came on again for a few seconds, then
it went out again. I then saw a very small red
light traveling very quickly eastward, (I was
driving west), and then it was gone.
14-May-2006,
Langley, BC: (11:00 pm)
The
witness went out to smoke at 11 p.m. and
subsequently noticed a brilliant light in the
southern sky. Using binoculars, he described the
colour as orange-y with a tinge of green. The
object was moving around in an erratic manner;
"squiggling" was the term he actually used. He
estimated that it was at 15,000' and located over
the U.S. border. He later called his mother out as
a witness and could also hear voices down the
street that indicated other people were also out
viewing this object.
The
witness stayed up until 2:30 a.m., at which point,
his eyes became sore. During the interim the
object had moved back and forth over an estimated
distance of ten miles and had been joined by ten
other objects. At this point he was describing the
original object as a "mother ship." Up to this
particular event he had not believed in UFOs and
had no previous sightings.
31-May-2006, Fort
St. John, BC: (5:14 pm) HBCC UFO
I
was helping a friend with some easy yard work in
which I spent most of the time sky watching. At
5:14, while looking to the south and
swinging my sight to the east I saw this object
moving toward the west at a good high rate of
speed. I grabbed my camera and took one picture.
It made no sound and was moving against the wind
in the vertical position. My friend was between
the fence and some pine trees and he could not get
out in time after I called him so he saw
nothing. - Mark Mann
31-May-2006, Fort
St. John, BC: (5:14 pm) HBCC UFO
I
spoke on the telephone to a fellow who says he saw
the very same object another witness observed in
Fort St. John, British Columbia. The report for
the first witness and photo can be viewed at:
*Fort St. Johns, British Columbia Disc First
Witness*. In this report, the gentleman did
not even know about the sighting of a disc-shaped
craft being seen by another. He believes the
object was metallic in color and what caught his
attention to the craft was a flash of light which
he noted coming off it. He thinks this was most
likely caused due to the sun reflecting off the
object. As the man watched, he thought he would go
and grab his binoculars and when he came back the
object was gone. There was only a short bit of
time that had elapsed.
Something
else worth nothing here is that the fellow reports
seeing 9 jet aircraft in the sky earlier that
afternoon, all leaving a contrail behind which
actually made the sky misty for some time.
June
2006 Westbank, BC: (1 am)
I
was watching a movie, paused it and went outside
to smoke a Colt. I noticed a light red pink-tinged
object in the sky over Okanagan Lake. I grabbed my
handy cam and began to film it. The object moved
out of frame and I took my eye out of the
viewfinder so I could try and find the object in
the sky. I did but it was smaller. I began to film
again only this time the object moved around in
quick sprints and then simply faded out.
I have showed family and friends and they all seem
to have mixed opinions on what it could be. But,
we all agree that what ever the object is, it
definitely needs some kind of scientific
explanation.
I heard about your site from a program I watched
on the space channel. The program was based on UFO
sightings in Kelowna. Some ladies went for a late
evening drive and saw a UFO and aliens or
something.....I thought if I wasn't the only one
from around here spotting UFO's, I might as well
e-mail you and tell you about my story and show
you the footage I got. Weird thing is I remember
the object was the same colour as the object I
spotted last June.
My friend and I also saw what we believe was a UFO
years ago in Kelowna over Okanagan Lake from the
Eldorado development in the mission.
3-Jun-2006, Delta,
BC: (6:25 pm)
At
6.25 p.m., in a clear blue sky, I observed a small
silvery object high in the sky travelling in a
north to southeast direction and moving rather
slowly. Initially I thought it was an aircraft
(although travelling along an unfamiliar flight
corridor), and it appeared to be elongated but
without any obvious protrusions. After watching it
for approximately two minutes my observation was
distracted as a car passed by and when I returned
my gaze to the sky the object was no longer
visible!
This
sighting took place at the corner of 132nd Street
and 109 Avenue in Surrey, which is the eastern
perimeter of the Surrey Corridor where frequent
UFO reports have been reported over an extended
period of time. The witness himself had previously
seen another UFO in this same area several years
ago.
11-Jun-2006, Prince
George, BC: (evening) HBCC UFO
Hello
Brian. Last Sunday evening I was talking to
my neighbor out in the front yard and noticed a
ball of light, moving slowly. I looked up to note
it was the size of a golf ball; it looked like a
miniature moon and when I pointed up to it to have
my neighbor look, it shrunk to the size of a star
and blinked. By the time my neighbor looked
it was gone. We, a mother and daughter, live in
Prince George.
12-Jun-2006,
Terrace, BC: (00:20) HBCC UFO
Hi
Brian, hope you are doing great. It seems to be a
hot UFO summer up here. The last one I had was
today at 00.20 as one craft came out of a
north-easterly direction and flew overhead. A few
minutes later it did appear to the southeast, came
very close and changed it’s colour 8 or 9 times to
very intensive white, before flying off to the
east.
21-Jun-2006,
Nanaimo, BC: (10-11 pm)
The
witness observed a huge, very bright light
somewhere over Georgia Strait between 10-11 p.m.
The light was stationary and no accompanying sound
could be detected. During the ten minute sighting
the light went from dim to bright and back to dim
and so on. No additional lights could be seen
during this period. The witness phoned the police
who informed him that a search and rescue
operation was underway, but provided no further
details. No such report was described by the
media.
22-Jun-2006,
Southeast of Ft. St. John, BC: (5:10 pm)
HBCC UFO
At
5:10 p.m., we were southeast of Fort St. John,
B.C. on the Alaska Highway when we spotted a large
cylindrical object hovering over a field
approximately a thousand meters off of the
highway. As I know this area to contain only open
farmland with trees bordering the boundary lines,
it was surprising to watch it hover then descend
quickly straight down out of sight.
While
still driving, we went in the direction of where
it may have landed and took an off-road but were
unable to see anything. There are no private
runways in this area. Here is a detailed
description of the craft: cylindrical, dull grey
with an upward protrusion at one end, not a
tailfin as on a regular jet. The object was very
large, estimated size is 40 meters or 120 feet
long. There were no lights or windows to be seen,
above or below on the object. No visible color
markings, numbers or patterns, just a dull grey
color.
22-Jun-2006,
Vancouver, BC: (9:30 pm)
At
9:30 p.m., the witness and two roommates watched
from the 15th floor of their apartment building as
a strange "balloon"- type configuration of some
unusual darkly- coloured objects moving from north
to south at a leisurely pace. The evening sky was
clear and they estimated the vertical "string" of
objects was possibly six stories high and an
altitude of 5000'. During the 25 minutes the
observation took place, the extended string
quickly bunched together in a ball before once
again lengthening to its originally- observed
pattern. They estimate this happened possibly a
dozen times. The formation was finally lost to
sight in the direction of Richmond after initially
being seen from downtown Vancouver. This witness
had had no previous sightings.
24-Jun-2006,
Richmond, BC: (10:30 pm)
The
witness noticed a bright stationary object in the
southwest sky at 10:30 p.m. He felt it was
something unusual and chose to view it through his
telescope. He described it as looking like a
satellite dish. "Not a star," he said. He took a
digital photo and nothing came out! The object was
dark in colour and facing north. He watched it
until 1:15 a.m. on the 25th June when it suddenly
disappeared. The object faced north during the
period of observation. The witness called 911 and
was given our number. He has had no previous
sightings.
25-Jun-2006,
Burnaby, BC: (11:30 pm) HBCC UFO
I
observed a UFO with green and red lights flashing
in the middle of the sky without any movement for
20 minutes. I cannot explain this myself. The
object was located in the direction of Surrey,
B.C. Note that I saw 3 lights blinking, green,
red, and green. As far as I know, this is not an
air-traffic signal and even if it is, it's
supposed to be 2 lights (green-red) meaning
danger.
It
was in the middle of the sky. I thought it could
be the chromatic abreaction of window glass, so I
opened the window and to make sure it is a "real"
object that I saw. It was in the sky but I cannot
justify the relative altitude because there's
nothing to which I can compare it. The object was
observed with the naked eye. Note that I do wear
glasses, but I have anti-reflective lenses so that
the chromatic abreaction is limited. Then, I went
to watch soccer replay and after 20 minutes, it
was gone.
26-Jun-2006, Prince
George, BC: (11:30 pm) HBCC UFO
Hello
to you again, Brian, from Prince George.
This time my grandson and I were out in his pool
in the backyard at 11:30 p.m. and I was telling
him I wished he had seen the light in the sky that
I had seen a few weeks back. (My grandson is 13
years old next month). Anyway, I happened to look
up while we were in the pool, and there was this
light again; my grandson saw it, too. It looked
like it was between an airplane height and a star.
I
waited to see if it had flashing lights like a
plane, or some noise, but it didn't. It was
way too low to be a satellite and it was moving
very slowly and in a zigzag motion and appeared to
be coming down. We live behind the Parkwood
shopping mall and we watched it for about 2
minutes and then it just went out. So I don't know
what that was. It seems when I sense I’m
going to see something that's when I see
something.
28-Jun-2006,
Vernon, BC: (10 – 12 pm) HBCC UFO
Hi
Brian. The orbs have been here in Vernon since my
last report. However, tonight things are different
as the orbs are flying very low, in the small
plane lanes, over the airport. Two of the orbs lit
up like a flashlight while they slowly flew at a
height of no less than 2000 feet.
There
is no small plane traffic tonight; there have been
a couple of the international flights heading west
at their regular times. One orb was visible for a
moment flying in the international lane, it dimmed
as the plane went by, then it appeared in the same
spot so I am guessing it stayed where it was and
then it proceeded on.
At
a fast glance these orbs can appear to be a small
plane spotlight when they are bright, but at a
closer look, there are no other lights, no red or
green, just one big light that dims and
disappears. And there is no sound around these
lights.
28-Jun-2006,
Kamloops, BC: (11:50 pm)
I
hope you can help us here…we encountered something
we have never seen before! It was a hot night and
we had trouble sleeping. We went on the front
porch, to escape the heat. I motioned to my
partner; a strange object had caught my eye. It
was a bright, quickly-blinking amber light.
It did not appear to be a plane, as the direction
was all wrong for planes and it was flying too low
and too fast. Just as I got my partner’s
attention, the light vanished. As the night was
incredibly clear, we continued to look for it. I
just wanted to show her how peculiar it was. About
10 seconds elapsed before it appeared again, too
far away to be anything terrestrial. It continued
in an irregular path (quick, jerky zigzag moves)
and the lights started to change colour from amber
to blue to white.
It
would vanish for a couple of seconds only to
reappear further away in the sky than any plane or
satellite could possibly have traveled in that
time. There were no clouds, moon or lights to
obstruct our view as it then did the most
remarkable thing. (We do not partake in any
narcotics; we are intelligent women of sound mind,
and we can not fathom how this could occur). The
light changed direction by approximately 90
degrees (had been travelling northeast), dropped
altitude faster than anything we had ever seen,
emitted an extremely bright flash of ALL 3 colors
(the lights formed a trapezoid-like shape) and
vanished. We were stunned. We checked Heavens
Above for any odd objects that could match what we
had seen (we found none). We explored the
possibility that what we had seen an actual UFO
and then contacted you.
29-Jun-2006,
Aldergrove, BC: (9:20 – 9:25 pm)
Around
9:00 p.m., I was bored and since there was nothing
on TV, I decided to go outside to train a bit with
my bokken (a wooden sword). After about 20 minutes
I decided to go check out the sunset like I do
everyday. I walked to the end of my driveway
(which faces north-northeast) and started looking
at the mountains and the small amount of pink
clouds above them glowing in the sunlight (I was
looking west-northwest). I noticed some sort of
needle-shaped object in the sky. At first I
thought it might be another cloud over the
mountains but it was way too far above the
mountains to be with the other ones. Also,
it was almost perfectly vertical, turned slightly
to the right. I thought it might be a missile or
rocket, once I had focused on it, but there was no
smoke trail nor was it moving fast enough to be a
rocket. In fact, if there wasn't a tree off
to the left a little, I might not have even known
it was moving at all - that’s how slow it was
moving. Every few seconds I'd measure it
beside the tree to see how much it had moved. (It
was moving upward and slightly to the
right). It was small and needle-shaped and
once I focused on it, I could tell it was
definitely metal, or, at least, a silver metal
colour. After a few minutes of watching it and
smiling because I thought it was so cool, I
decided to run inside quickly and grab my Grampa's
old binoculars, but after about 30 seconds of
looking for them but not finding them, I ran back
outside, and when I looked in the sky where I had
last seen it, the object was gone.
Unfortunately,
with nothing behind it or even close to it, I
couldn't judge it’s distance from me at all, but
it looked like it might have been anywhere from
over top the west-northwest mountains to being
over top Fort Langley or Maple Ridge.
Every
once in a while, when I was watching the object,
it almost looked as if there was some type of
small wave coming out from the bottom. I don’t
mean like a jet or anything, but like a ripple in
a pond type of thing. Honestly, that was the
strangest part of it, because it looked like
little ripples coming from the bottom of this
"thing" every couple of seconds. I really wish I
had a camera, but the only one I have is a
disposable one, and I didn't think to run inside
and grab it.
29-Jun-2006,
Burnaby, BC: (11:50 pm)
(I
saw) a large light with what looked like a
reflection of the light until it merged into one
very large light. It took the shape of a large
gold chili pepper. It got thinner, then another
white light with green flew by and suddenly
dropped. The gold light disappeared as well. This
light was intense so other people must have seen
it too. My children and I were both watching and
looked at each other stunned.
July 2006, Shuswap Lake,
Salmon Arm, BC:
I was camping with my parents and
we took the motorboat out on the Shuswap around
mid-afternoon. We stopped a couple places to let
our German Sheppard, Spirit, run around. At one
quiet spot my dad was looking at fish in the water
while my stepmother wandered up on shore with
Spirit. I decided to lie back and nap on a large
rock. I had my sunglasses on and dozed for about 5
minutes or so. My Dad said something to me and I
opened my eyes. I noticed a small, shiny speck
straight in front of me. I tried to shield my eyes
from the sun to look at it. I was surprised to see
a bright star held fixed in the sky almost right
next to the sun. I asked my Dad if you could see
stars in the middle of the day. He made the joke
that I was hallucinating from heat stroke. I
looked away for a moment or two and when I glanced
back I couldn’t see the object anymore. That is
until I realized it had moved a good distance to
the west. I could see it better away from the sun
and it just looked like a tiny silver ball. I
watched it move steadily toward the tree line, and
it appeared a bit larger and softer as it went.
Then it finally just moved out of sight behind
some distant pine trees. My Dad was never able to
see it, but like a satellite at night, you’d
almost lose it if you looked away. I’d chalk this
object up to being an airplane, if it wasn’t for
noticing it sitting dead still in the sky directly
above me for a good minute or two when I thought
it was just a star or Venus.
1-Jul-2006, North
Delta, BC: (5 and 7:30 pm) HBCC UFO
(Witnesses
saw a) single-light, cigar-shaped spacecraft,
hovering for a couple hours that was first noticed
at 5 pm on July 1, 2006. At 7:30 pm there appeared
to be two or three objects in the sky, moving in
swift movements, but not really going too far. The
object appears silver in colour and one observer
thought there may be an antenna dangling below it.
Acceleration
seems to be the opposite of any traditional
aircraft - the objects seem to be moving slowly at
first and then accelerating faster as it started
to move! Incredible! It was hovering in the sky
for a bit, then moving in an "S" type of pattern
straight up. It first appeared in the eastern sky,
and then it moved more to the south.
Our
house is in the flight path for YVR, we know what
planes look like. We had planes to compare it to
during the sighting! This was NOT a plane!
1-Jul-2006, Burns
Lake, BC: (10:05 pm)
(I)
was coming home from the local theatre, heading
west at 10:05 pm, looking towards the west in the
sky across the lake, and noticed something in the
sky to the west of town. It was high in the sky,
well above the tree line. I only had about
one minute till I got home and when I got there, I
went quickly to the garage to get my spotting
scope. When I came out, the object was still there
but while (I was) fumbling with my tripod, it
disappeared. It was big, shiny-silver in color and
appeared to be round-ish. It wasn’t moving, just
staying in one place. I know it wasn’t a
plane or a helicopter because I have seen lots of
them: the size was much bigger and (there were) no
lights from this thing. The total time of
watching this thing was 3 minutes.
31-Jul-2006,
Kelowna, BC: (4:15 am)
At 4:15 am, I witnessed a
bright white sphere-shaped object with lights
coming from the top of it in front of Black
Mountain. It hovered in about the same spot but,
as it was getting light out, the object started to
float up into the sky so by 5:30 it was very high
in the sky and looked like a star. It was a very
large light and so bright the edges were not
clearly defined until I looked at it through the
binoculars and could see the shape of it; the
lights coming from the top of it looked like a
string of lights. I phoned a local TV station to
see if anyone had reported a light and the
reporter said it was probably Venus, for the light
was in the east. I got up early again on August 4
to see if I again would see this bright light
(Venus) and to my surprise it was completely black
so I believed then it was not Venus. That morning,
as I went to collect the paper, I was shocked to
see a crop circle had been spotted in Armstrong on
July 31 and that the crop circle was in the shape
of the light I had seen in front of Black Mountain
that July 31 early morning. I would love to hear
from someone else that they saw it also that July
31 morning.
UFOBC Comment by Gavin McLeod: On that date
at that time and at that place Venus would be
hanging very bright just above the eastern
horizon. If she observed another object then there
should have been two objects.
Summer 2006,
Nelson, BC:
Nelson BC - 2006
Kootenay Lake
Laying on the beach with
4 friends at roughly 2am. In silence we all were
just staring at the sky when a friend pointed out
an anomaly. Everyone got excited and agreed that
it was abnormal but I could not see it myself. I
looked of course for flashing lights but as I
looked down my friend's arm pointing the object
out I saw three stars moving together. It was
coming over the mountain across the lake but was
way in the atmosphere at first. The Stars were
somewhat close together and lowering into the
atmosphere almost as it were coming from space
with a slight rotation to its flight.
Here's where it gets
crazy, we were all locked on the object and it
took some time to cross the lake (possibly 15
minutes) but time felt as if it slowed down. We
then noticed all the stars it flew past we could
still see, like it was cloaked and the stars were
just dimmed (roughly 40% visible) that it flew
over. Now that it entered our atmosphere this
thing was huge! Like a mothership! I would have to
say at least 2-3 kilometers wide. It ended
up right above us and rotated even faster as it
came to a stop. We all ran into the water back to
back as we were all freaked out, and I am scared
af about aliens. The ship then changed directions
and headed down the mountain heading north until
we could not keep it in sight, it got so far away.
Just when we thought we lost sight of the ship
there was a huge white blue comet that shot into
the sky. We all ran into our friend's house as a
buddy stayed out in disbelief yelling for its
return.
Three of us talk about
the sighting once in a while and we say "oh yeah!"
Almost like we forget it ever happened until one
of us brings it up.
Wtf, has anyone else seen
triangle transparent motherships in BC?
Summer 2006, Kelowna, BC:
I originally wrote it off as a
strange military silent black chopper. At the time
I was homeless sleeping on a mountain cliff near
the bridge on the west side of the lake. I had no
tent only a blanket about the same color as the
clay I slept on. I was awoken when there was a big
light over me at first. I thought it was the cops
or a land owner asking me to move, when I realized
it was neither I didn't move. I knew it was above
me and thought that if I didn't move it would
leave. It stayed for a while hovering above me -
can't say how long cause its not like I had a
clock up there, but there was a pulsing breeze
blowing down on me almost no sound and a big
bright light although any light up there is
bright. When it flew off it continued along the
ridge and the light went of about 200 feet away
from my camp once it was past my camp everything
was silent again it was gone just gone.
Aug 2006,
Victoria, BC: (mid-afternoon)
During my 9th month of pregnancy I was in the
back yard doing yoga, so I was in positions in
which I was looking at the sky a lot. There were
some light clouds, but mainly sunny, not too warm.
I saw a silent single white circular light/object
move across the sky horizontally directly
overhead. I felt peaceful.
4-Aug-2006, Invermere, BC: (Late
Evening) HBCC UFO
Interesting, I have not seen anything in the sky,
but late in the evening of August 4th I heard and
felt an underground explosion. It seemed to be
fairly localized to my neighborhood. It freaked me
out, but nothing came of it. No alarms, no fire,
no smoke. To me, it felt and sounded like it was
deep in the ground. It had a very muffled sound to
it. Just a thought. What if a UFO did crash and
their buddies are looking for them ? Thank you to
the person for the information on what he felt and
heard. Maybe there was a connection to all the
sightings from Invermere and Castlegar BC.

16-Sep-2006, Castlegar, BC: (evening)
HBCC UFO
HBCC UFO Research Note: Last night,
Saturday September 16, 2006 my wife answered the
telephone and there was a lady who wanted to speak
with me over some really unusual things taking
place in Castlegar, her home town. One incident
took place approximately 42 kilometers outside of
Castlegar where they watched what looked like a
battle happening above them in the clear night
sky. Dark shadows, or craft of something appeared
to be doing battle, or something very unusual. One
object looked like it may have either hit one of
the mountains in the area or at least just above
the mountain as the entire valley, mountain, etc
lit up like it was daytime. One of the witnesses
to this did call the RCMP in Castlegar and also
called KBS Radio out of Trail since KBS Radio
covers the entire area.
Anyway, I will be keeping in contact with the lady
and I will be writing up this report in full as
soon as I can. One more point on this, I was told
that the RCMP had been taking calls from other
people on many unusual things being seen in the
night skies in that area. I should also note as
this is very important, at the time of the phone
call to me, the lady was watching things happening
in the sky at the time of the call to me. She was
very excited about what was happening, not to
mention she had been crying over the event that
took place over the mountain.

Eastbound Over Richmond Towards Mt. Baker
Rectangular Shaped Craft. Hi Brian, I just
received a phone call from my friend in Richmond,
she lives near No. 2 Rd. and Blundell in a sixth
floor apartment facing east. She was all excited
and told me she had just been talking on the phone
when she glanced out her window and saw a large
space ship slowly heading east towards Mt. Baker.
I asked her how large was it: Answer- About the
same as a Jumbo jet. Shape - Sort of rectangular
and covered with lumps or protrusions. Lights - No
lights. Colour - Brown Speed - Very slow, she
lives just to one side of the approach, YVR.
Distance - Wasn't sure as in sky but may still
have been over Richmond. Stated definitely not
Plane, Blimp or any other aircraft she is familiar
with. Object seen approx:. 7:00 PM. Being on the
phone she didn't even think to grab her binoculars
and get a better look. She called me as soon as
she got free, to see if I had seen it but it would
have been behind my bldg. She apparently watched
it for several minutes

Dear Mr. Vike: I was interested to read your
story about UFO sightings at Castlegar. My son
telephoned me last weekend about a similar
experience that same night, outside of Invermere.
He and some friends went up in the mountains
outside of Invermere, to get a better view of the
Aurora Borealis that was happening that night.
They reported seeing several dark circular shapes,
flying in formations, and performing unusual
aerial acrobatics. If you are interested in more
details, I will have him contact you.
Additional
Information: My dad sent you an email the
other day regarding objects I saw
On September 24, 2006 at 12:00-1:00 am, my friends
and I went into a highpoint of a field just
outside of Invermere, B.C. to watch the aurora
borealis over the Rockies. One of us noticed
silhouettes of multiple uniformly shaped ovals
which at first appeared far away but moved closer
towards the town and seemed to make formations. At
some points a few would disappear, but then we saw
where others seemed to re-appear at a different
point in the horizon.
This continued for a good 10 minutes when one of
my friends brought out a didgeridoo, one of those
native Australian musical instruments and played
loudly and pointing right in the direction of the
dark shapes (at this point they seemed to be much
closer as they were much greater in size). Almost
instantly one appeared much closer than the others
and was much more circular as you would imagine
looking underneath instead of to the side. My
friend continued to play, and put on electronic
music, when 3 more came above us. There were no
lights and we could not make out any details of
what it was, just that they were big and round,
but more flat when looking from the side, like
what I would imagine a silhouette of a flying
saucer to look like.
Another thing is we would have never seen them if
the northern lights weren't going on as it was for
this that we could see the silhouettes in the
night sky. When they disappeared they could have
very well have been in another point in the sky
and we wouldn't have been able to see them. The
whole experience lasted about 25 minutes.

Objects Knocks Out Radio Phone. HBCC UFO
Research Note: Sunday morning at 2:00 am I awoke
to the telephone ringing. I jumped out of bed and
answered the phone and talked to a man who was
reporting some very unusual things happening
"again" in Castlegar, British Columbia and this
event was being reported by a different witness.
When I was speaking to the man he was calling from
his truck on a radio phone. He was explaining what
was happening in the sky as it was unfolding, all
of a sudden the telephone connection was lost and
I had no way of getting him back. I stayed up for
a short while hoping the fellow would call again,
which he did using a normal phone line.
The static and dropping out while we were talking
was terrible. But I did manage to ask if the UFO
event was still happening and he said yes. We both
wondered if the phone problems were caused by the
unknown objects. He stated that while in his truck
using the radio phone, all of a sudden the radio
phone started to switch channels which he had no
control over. I asked if this had ever happened
before and he said no.

Hi Brian, my wife and I have a friend living 3
floors up, directly above us. He has not been
feeling to well after coming back from a trip to
Europe. He is in his early 70's and a retired
Pharmacist and private Pilot.
At approximately 4:00am he was having trouble
sleeping so was
just lying in bed looking out the window. He told
my wife something long, slender and white and
looking like a hockey stick with flames shooting
out the back flew past heading west. He is quite
agile for his age but it was gone before he could
even get out of bed. He said, "he had never seen
anything like it in his life". This occurred in
North Surrey.
Usually I am awake at that time but for the past
few nights have been sleeping until around 6. So I
missed the hockey stick and the big green fireball
that apparently went over the city around 02:25?
about 3 or 4 days ago. I heard about the fireball
on Global TV.

Capilano Mall, Object Moving In A Erratic
Fashion, On Sunday my wife and I were sitting
outside the Capilano Mall in North Vancouver about
4:00 pm when we saw something in the sky to the
north of us. We could not make out what it was and
zooming in with our digital camera did not seem to
make it any clearer. It was moving slowly in an
erratic fashion as well as blinking in and out
like it would disappear and then reappear. It
finally just disappeared. I have considered the
fact that it may be a Mylar balloon but I don't
think it is.

HBCC UFO
A Bright White Fireball Or Meteorite Passing
over North Surrey heading NNW direction. The sky
over the lower mainland was clear at the moment
and the temperature felt like it was dropping
fast. I was just sitting here at my desk
absentmindedly scanning the sky and looking at all
the lights when at bright white fireball or
meteorite suddenly appeared in the sky lighting up
all the immediate area. For a second I thought due
to its appearance it might be fireworks as it had
a long white tail of fire behind it and was
traveling slowly compared to most meteorites
though still much faster then satellites or
planes. The object itself appeared to be oval in
shape and glowed white hot with a sort of white
halo all around it. It appeared to burn out
approx:. 20 degrees above the horizon. I probably
had it in view for two to three seconds.
Brian it was absolutely beautiful, I just hope you
were looking up at that time. My camera broke last
week and who knows when I will be able to get it
fixed. Went to change the tape and the tape
refused to go back in. I pulled the tape and
looked inside and saw several parts sliding around
inside jamming the mechanism. Said parts are now
in an envelope until such time as I can get it
repaired.

UFO
Tube Or Cigar Shaped Craft. Location of
Sighting: Over Smithers transfer station, going
towards Hudson Bay Mountain. Full Description of
event/sighting: I saw a very bright (shiny/silver)
cigar shaped object going towards Hudson Bay
Mountain. Still to slow moving and observed for 30
seconds. Or the distance between the hill out side
Smithers just past the bridge to the Pentecostal
Church. Then it just vanished into thin air. I
pondered if it could of been a plane (no wings
though). But they do not just disappear into thin
air as you look at them.

I was driving to Chilliwack down Highway 1.
Suddenly the CD that was playing seemed to “slow
down” as if the battery was failing, but it didn’t
really slow down, it got kind of “warbly”, like
when you’re trying to start a car that won't
start. Anyways, it is hard to describe but it was
like it was “off pitch”. I also felt a kind of
shock in my neck; I’m not sure if that is related.
I think my car lights dimmed, too, but I’m not
100% sure of that. I thought my battery was having
problems which startled me because I was driving
100 km/hr. Then I saw a fast moving dark shape in
the sky out in front of my truck. It was flying at
an angle. I only saw it for a moment as it crossed
my path. At first, I thought it was a helicopter
but it was very low and very dark with no lights
and moved very silently except it seemed there was
a bass-like sound as it went in front of or over
the top of my car. Then it was gone and the stereo
was back to normal. I couldn’t stop because I was
on the highway. So, that’s all I can say. I don’t
even know if it was anything out of the ordinary
but it was a little chilling.

Bright Light & Possible UFO Landing ? I
was laying in my bed, kind of scared, then calm. I
wanted to look up to my window where I saw this
bright white clean light, like the sun but it
didn't hurt your eyes, and the windows covers were
lit up like I never have seen before. The sun
couldn't even light it up that bright during the
summer. It was like a camera flash that lasted 4
seconds or less before it went away. I had enough
time to jump up and look at it, but didn't, due to
the fact this is the second time I saw the flash
of light by a window. The first time I saw the
light flash was in my kitchen window. I was
wondering what was going on and who was taking a
picture outside.
I then rushed outside to see who was messing
around with a camera taking a picture because the
window blind lit up. I put my shoes on and ran out
the door real quick and this was the most scariest
thing I saw. A UFO craft or some kind of light
that was red and golden-ish in color by our C band
satellite dish outside. It then turned towards me
and I was put in some kind of trance, or at least
I couldn't move because I was in some kind of
state of shock over what I observed. It then lit
up more brightly and then zipped off through the
tree's here and then into the sky with a tail of
goldish dots leaving behind it. One of the most
craziest things I've seen in my life. I was
shocked when thinking about it when I was lying on
my parent’s bed. I felt so shocked that I felt
really sad. The more I think about that light I
saw, it seems like some kind of dream because it
was something I couldn't explain and very unreal
for a light that bright and that close,
approximately 8 foot steps away from me.
The second time I saw it, my mother also saw it
since she had to go to work in the early morning.
My mother saw it while she was just getting ready
to get up for a shower then the light lit up her
white window blinds. She was shocked as was I over
this entire event.
I've also have another true story here for you.
I've seen a UFO land in the forests around the
mountains here. I've joined a forum to tell others
what I've saw and they told me to get some UFO
reporters to look into the sightings. But I
didn't, this UFO landing happened two months
before December. I've seen a bright green light go
down quick sideways on the clear cut where there's
tree's ahead of it. Very cool to see this one. It
was landing and soon as it did, the lights went
off right at tree line and hit on the ground. It
didn't crash, it landed in front of some tree's. I
don't know what UFOs would be doing landing there.
The time was around 11:34 at night and there was a
clear sky.

I saw a grey metallic object in the sky, with
a metal different from any metal I'd ever seen
before. There was a sort of dull sheen to it. It
resembled a small airliner; in fact, at first I
thought that's what it was. It caught my attention
as I drove up a small hill; it was far too low in
the sky and travelling very slowly, almost
hovering above an urban space. I feared it would
crash. The craft was a stream-lined oval shape
from the side from which I viewed it. The front
was pointed, not a sharp point, but slightly
rounded. (I assume it was the front from the
direction it was traveling). I don't recall
exactly what the back looked like, although I
think it was similar to the front; there was no
tail. The wings were not the usual shape of a
plane; they were a sort of semi-circular shape,
they were short and wide and close to the craft.
There was no other colour or letters on the craft,
no windows, no lights and no noise.
I tried to keep it in my vision, but I couldn't
watch the sky constantly since I was driving. The
craft was moving, though very slowly, and my view
quickly became obstructed by trees. I feared when
I reached the corner at the top of the hill, about
1/2 a block, it would have crashed, as no plane
could fly so low or slowly and stay in the sky.
However, when I got to the corner it was gone and
there had been no crash. This all happened within
seconds and it took me a few seconds to realize
that this was not a usual aircraft. I was quite
shaken by the experience and kept watching the
sky, wanting to see it again and to know what it
was.
I called the local air control center and was told
there was no aircraft in the area at the time I
saw the craft other than a small plane doing
flying practice and a helicopter; both were
several miles away from the location I saw the
craft.
24-Dec-2006, Sooke BC: (9:30 pm)
My girlfriend called me over to the window
where I saw what looked like a bright flare just
sort of hanging in the sky. At first I thought
that it was one of those flares used by military,
search and rescue, etc...you know, the ones that
use a parachute of some sort to lengthen the time
it takes the flare to hit the ground, giving
extended vision of the terrain below. Upon closer
inspection of this "flare", and because the light
emitted was so brilliant, I could see that there
was no parachute attached. After about 5 minutes
of watching this light move around in the sky, it
just disappeared.
From where we were watching we could see that this
light, as much as it would move around, would
always return to a nearby water tower. We got in
the car and drove over to see if someone had
possibly crashed a remote-control plane into the
water tower, causing the bright light. There was
nobody else around that we could see and soon
after we arrived, 20 minutes after the initial
sighting, an "aircraft" of some kind just appeared
and started dropping these light sources. I say
appeared because this "aircraft" was inaudible and
didn't approach the area, it just showed up as if
it turned on its navigation lights. Again, these
lights it dropped just hovered around and seemed
to be scouting out this area near our house. We
checked the area to see if it was possibly someone
playing around but there were no cars or people in
sight. Something to think about...

Victoria, BC: (12:05 am) NUFORC
I had just finished watching television and I
looked out my window. I saw a light in the sky but
I didn't think much of it at first until I saw the
light was pulsing, kind of fading in and out, but
still maintaining a high light level. I saw the
object and when I closed one eye I could see it
zigzagging from side to side. I went into the
living room to awaken my roommate but he refused
to get up and look. From my living room, I saw the
UFO on more of a side/rear view and saw the craft
moving up, down, and side to side. The object was
white but when I concentrated hard on the light, I
could see multiple colours. At first it seemed to
have been red and blue but over time it changed to
other colours as well. I returned to my room and
it was still there. I lay in bed and, out of
curiosity, watched it zigzag. My lazy eye kicked
in and my sight went out of focus. During this I
saw the UFO itself. It was a disc-shaped object; I
could only see its shape when I wasn’t focused on
the lights of the craft. I saw it spinning
clockwise with a light shining down on the sky
below. It was, I think, a few hundred to a
thousand feet away. The object was fairly small
but still rather large. I live in the downtown
area of Victoria, B.C. and I believe it was above
the Inner Harbor/James Bay area.
This was the second UFO I've seen in the same
general area within the last 3 weeks. I saw a
craft, very similar to this object, and a lot
closer, approximately 3 weeks prior to this
incident. This UFO was hovering about 400-800 feet
away and also had bright lights. It zigzagged back
and forth. Within 12 seconds of seeing the craft,
it reduced its size to 1/3 of the original size,
roughly a grapefruit size. It zigzagged a bit then
changed from a grapefruit size to nothing and I
watched it to the last second. It took roughly 6
seconds to disappear totally out of sight from the
grapefruit size.

2 White Glowing Orbs Circling Overhead. Hi
Brian, Last night I, and several friends witnessed
2 white glowing orbs circling overhead. This was
around 11:30 pm. It was foggy out and it went on
for quite a while and no matter where you were
they appeared to follow you and remain overhead.
They stuck to a circular pattern and they were
opposite each other and then one seemed to follow
the other getting closer to it until they were
circling side by side and then the would separate
eventually ending up opposite each other again. I
called friends and they also appeared to be just
overhead. Shortly after they disappeared the sky
cleared right up and you could see the stars.
