UFO SIGHTING REPORTS FROM 2025



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

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

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

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

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

I guesstimate at about 20 feet between the two lights.

Additional Witness Information:

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

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

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

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

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

Witness Responds:

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

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

But to answer your questions.

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

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

Guessing between 200 to 400 meter away.

May be 40-50 meter in elevation.

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

Didn't hear any sound at all.

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

Additional Witness Information: Solved?

It might be just a police drone. A few days after I sent you this I was walking outside during the day and suddenly 4-5 police cars driving full speed from all different locations with their sirens on small streets and at the same time a drone with similar lights was flying and then hovering at the same place all the cop cars stopped.

So maybe it could of been that at 1 in the morning? Police drone looking for suspect ???

26-July-2025, Harrison Hot Springs: (11:30/11:45 pm)

Have a sighting to report. Last night (July 26th) around 11:30/45 pm myself and 2 other witnesses. We're staying at house in Harrison Hot Springs, while out on the back deck star gazing, my friend suddenly bust out "wtf is that!?" With out even pointing of where it was. I looked up and saw it, and then so did another friend. We all saw 3 lights very faint, barley visible (high altitude?) Bluish in color. Initially in a line, side by side. Then moved slightly in to a triangle formation. They were moving extremely fast. The formation was wide. They headed south toward Mt Slesse, and then out of sight.


Early-August-2025, Barnhartvale, BC:

Hello UFO BC,

I live just east of Kamloops in the community of Barnhartvale. I wish to share a very unusual experience that occurred back in early August of 2025. On the evening of the 10th my wife and son and I were in our backyard enjoying the colors of the sunset relaxing with our two dogs. That night the weather was clear and calm with scattered clouds to the west. My son Nolan was taking a series of sunset pics on his Samsung S24 Ultra smartphone when he looked startled and said I think my phone just glitched. He was staring at the screen on his phone and seemed very confused. I asked him what was wrong and he said look at what my phone just captured. I walked over to him and looked at the screen and was startled to see the clouds to the west were bathed in brilliant blue and purple shades instead of normal red and orange hues. Then I noticed something very odd in the picture below the clouds and seemingly hovering low over the river valley was a distinct red triangle looking object. When I saw this object I immediately got goosebumps and said I think your phone just captured a UAP. During and after this occurrence there was no noise associated with any aircraft or drones flying nearby. In fact remembering back it was quiet and calm with no winds. Our house is located directly beneath the ILS flight path for aircraft coming to Kamloops from the east such as West Jet and Air Canada that routinely fly over with regular flight schedules. This red triangular object was also too low to be considered any private or commercial aircraft.

A few minutes later I asked my son to use the camera features to zoom in on just the red triangle and apply a basic black and white filter to attempt to get a more clearer image. What the phone then displayed made my jaw drop as both of us just stared at the image in amazement. This object had small lights that outlined the airframe with two larger distinct lights at the corners. The main body of the craft looks raised with what can only be described as windows or viewing ports on the top side. The body looks like it has corners and seems shaped similar to the F117 Stealth fighter from a head on view perspective. Again this is my opinion to what I see when looking at the image and I look forward to reading what other people think it is or could be. I am not going to declare this a UFO with aliens flying around Kamloops but I am not going to rule it out either. My personal belief is that this is probably a classified military craft that might be utilizing technology in propulsion that was reversed engineered from crashed craft over the decades and fine tuned at Groom Lake. I only say that because of what occurred earlier in the day. The red triangle wasn't the only odd and strange aircraft in our skies that day. At around lunch time on the 10th my wife and I were on our way to grab some groceries when we heard low flying helicopters approaching from the east of our house. Moments later to our astonishment a flight of AH-64 Apache gunships flew directly over the house in a follow the leader formation heading west towards our airport YKA. I have lived at our current location for over 20 years and have never witnessed these type of helicopters flying around Kamloops. Apparently it turns out these gunships were en route to Alaska for the Trump and Putin summit. They were filmed landing at the airport and taking on fuel before heading out later in the day. I can't say for sure if the two incidents are related or mere coincidence but that remains one of the questions for me and my family.

We are hoping someone or somebody with far more expertise in these cases can help explain the pictures which is what I am seeking. I would love to hear what some experts in the field of UAP investigations might think what is in the image and why did the camera display the strange picture. The pictures before and after show a normal sunset with nothing unusual. I can attest that no CGI or AI was used in any of these pics which was verified by a RCMP visual forensics member after receiving the pic from a friend who is a work colleague of my wife. Apparently the original picture was scrutinized by RCMP software that proved the pic was original and was not manipulated in any manner. The other interesting thing the member said the craft has two distinct surface coatings. The underside or belly was translucent or reflective with the top side having a type of UV or flat grey finish. This individual said he was not at liberty to discuss the picture other than those two facts and was told the matter is closed as far as the RCMP is concerned. The original pic and RCMP findings apparently then were handed over to CSIS.

As of today we have not had any response from MUFON Canada to whom I reached out with this incident and are hoping somebody at UFO BC can help explain this strange occurrence. We are not seeking publicity in regards to this incident we just want some educated reasoning or explanations that might make sense. The two pics I am forwarding are the original pic that show the weird cloud color and red triangle and the zoomed in pic with black and white filter. Look forward to your reply and any info you can provide.

Regards

UFO*BC Responds:

If I am not mistaken, it was not visible to the naked eye – is that correct?

The issue with most smartphones cameras, which are not usually prevalent on DSLR cameras, is that of artifact creation. As the lens on the camera is quite small, the ‘trick’ is often employed to use software (image processing) to address things such as low light conditions (like those found at sunsets) and employ anti-glare reflective coatings. These sometimes can create some strange looking things, such as ‘ghosting’ or lens-flare like “objects” …

    
So, on the balance of probability, what you caught was nothing more than a quirk of the camera on the smartphone.
    
HOWEVER:

Having said all of that, the shape you captured is obviously very ubiquitous in the UFO/UAP field of study, so it also is possible that you caught something that was perhaps not easily visible in standard wavelength (yet caught by the sensors of the camera).

Generally speaking, smartphone cameras can detect 350nm to 1100nm, covering ultraviolet (UV), visible (400nm-700nm), and near-infrared (NIR) light. So - it is possible that the camera may have caught something that the filters didn’t block out?


Thank-you and chat soon.
Richard
