11-Jan-2013, Victoria, BC: (8:00 am)

I was driving my kids to school at around 8:00 am. The sky was clear and sunny. We were stopped at a light facing south when we all noticed a very bright and large orange flash in the sky. Immediately after the flash a large black object appeared with three orange lights forming a triangle. The object moved across the horizon from east to west at a high rate of speed, then stopped dead and hovered in place. After hovering for a few seconds the three orange lights seemed to merge together into one huge bright orange ball of light and then vanished with no trace. We where all freaking out and couldn't believe what we had just seen. Anyone else report anything like this from the Island? We can't stop talking about this event.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thank you for the sighting report. As with all sightings we ask if you can fill in any of the following details (although you may have already told us, just for completeness, please re-state your thoughts).

Thanks!!

Witness Responds:

Date: January 11, 2013

Time: 8:04 am

Location of Witness: Inside of car facing south at the intersection of Cedar Hill Road and Hillside Avenue.

Object apparent altitude: a few hundred feet roughly

Object apparent size: I would say a quarter at arm's length would easily cover the object

Object apparent shape: We are not sure the exact shape but the orange lights on the bottom did form a triangle

Direction of Travel: East to West

Speed of Travel: a couple hundred miles per hour

Duration of Sighting: Around 15 seconds

Anything else?: It seemed to us after talking about it, and as corny as this sounds, that this object came out of "hyper space" then realized that it was not where it was supposed to be and then jumped out. It all happened very fast.

June 2007, Rock Creek, BC:

It was quite a warm day, and me and my mother were getting ready to pick up my sister from baseball. As usual, I walked out the door and was just about to open the truck door, when something caught my eye. Above the mountain, there was this black, moving object. It didn't seem to move back and forth, instead, it was like it was tipping while spinning. It stood silently in the same spot, spinning and tipping in mid air. You could see the sunlight reflecting off of the object, and it was black-ish and shiney.I could not figure out the size of the object, but it was fairly huge, to be seen from above a very high mountain. My mother came out, and we both were froze, standing in our driveway together. Finally, we took our eyes off of it, and went to go get my sister. It only took us about five minutes to get back. The object was gone. It made no sense.

My friend and I were walking to the store, and he saw a light in the sky. He told me to look at it. At first we thought it was just a plane or a satellite, but it had no blinking lights, and it was bright orange. It was moving far too slow to be a plane or a satellite. It was almost a triangular shape, with a circular ring of faint light around it. It moved steady and slowly, almost stopping at times. It changed directions perpendicular to the way it was traveling (from South to West), got very small in a very short amount of time. Almost to the size of a pin. Then all of the sudden it turned into a pitch black circle, the size of the ring around it. From then on, it travelled straight down, until we couldn't see it behind the buildings.

I began to notice a very bright light in the sky as I glanced out the window of my condo. I thought it was a star and just stared at it. Then I began to notice that it was flashing colors. At first I thought it could be an airplane as airplanes are often flying around in and out of Pitt Meadows Airport. I asked my boyfriend Bob and he thought it was interesting too. It wasn't a satellite cause they move. It wasn't an airplane, we even saw an airplane move through the sky and it was different. So I was watching this very bright light in the sky that was flashing colors and it wouldn't move. I watched it for about 20 minutes and no movement. I knew it was still because I was using reference points around the house and outside. Then I went to the bathroom got myself a drink and when I came back it was all the way on the other side of the tree that is right outside my window. Right now it is still sitting still in this new spot as it was when it first caught my eye. Bob's mom said it could be this satellite that India launched and I am really unsure. Just wondering if anyone has noticed the same thing and knows what it is... or has some sort of explanation?

Early 2012, Port Coquitlam:

Hey I just heard about this website and thought I would share a picture of a weird picture in the sky I took about a year ago in Port Coquitlam. Can't explain what I saw but I'm a big believer in ufo sightings and definately going to read some of the stories on this site.

16-Mar-2013, Esquimaly/Victoria, BC: (10:45 pm)

My room-mate came into the house earlier tonight and told me that something strange was flying overhead in the sky. He was very excited, and he dashed through the kitchen and opened the door to the sundeck and stepped outside. I got up from my computer and followed him outside onto the sundeck and looked up into the night sky. There was a fleet of flying craft of some kind up there; bright orange in color.

They looked like a squadron of planes flying together as if they were in some kind of air show. They followed each other but not in a single line but rather in a staggered formation; flying at the same speed together. But it was 10:45pm on a Saturday night, and there wasn't any occasion calling for an air show. I was amazed. I thought they must be American aircraft of some sort, and I stood there next to my room-mate looking up at them in puzzled wonderment. They were totally silent as they flew; no sound of engines or jet noises or anything. Totally silent. And they were pretty darn close to us, too. Not way far up there like distant stars or satellites, more like aircraft simply flying overhead. But they were bright orange in color. No flickering lights, no on and off lights; each one was identical to the others; they were each bright orange flying craft of some kind.

They came from the direction of Port Angeles, Washington. They came from the southwest and were flying almost directly overhead of us, here in the Vic West area of Victoria, BC. They were headed northeast. There were 7 or 8 of them, but that's not counting the ones that my room-mate had already seen fly over before he came into the house to tell me about it. I'm very skeptical of jumping to the conclusion that they were UFO's from outer space, but honestly, I've never seen aircraft that were bright orange like that. And totally silent.

After the last of them had flown over, I went back inside and immediately went online to try to see if anyone else was seeing these things flying over the city. But I couldn't find anything at all. Then I went and turned on the 11 o'clock news, and switched around the different news channels hoping to find something on there about these flying craft in the sky. But nothing. I kept going back outside onto my sundeck to see if there were any more of them, but nothing. I have no idea what they were, and I wish I knew. Were they military craft of some kind? Is there any way I can find out what they were, or if anyone else saw them in the sky on Saturday night? Thanks.

1948, Queen Charlotte Islands, BC:

Many years ago, in 1948, I was a commercial fisherman. One evening just as it got dark. The sky was clear and the stars were getting brighter and brighter. I suddenly saw a brilliant red light in the sky at about 50° above sea level and about to the (SSW) South South West  of my boat, the M.V. Estrellita. I was about half way between the southern tip of Queen Charlotte Islands, (now Haida Gwaii) latitude 51°56'N and longitude 131°01'W and the mainland, Spitfire Island, Latitude 51.849633253°, Longitude -128.220002234°.             

When I was trolling offshore for salmon, and at the evenings would pull all the gear aboard, turn on my mast-top light, shut off the engine, sleep and just drift all night. She would drift a few knots overnight one way or another and in the morning I would start up again at the beginning of daylight return to my fishing ground, more or less, using my echosounder. I was alone. I always fished alone on my boat.

I laid down on the deck and watched the red light, which seemed to move around in various directions E, S, E, N, etcetera. I did not seem to be moving about in any  particular direction  and I was positive that it was not a high flying airplane, due to the red light's erratic movements. After  about an hour and a half the red light seemed to be getting duller and duller until the light just faded out.

That is it. I have never told this to anyone before, because I thought people would just think I was a nut or something. I don't think I am, or ever was a nut! I have never seen a strange anything in the sky again.

Nov 2012, Mackenzie, BC: (about 8:30 - 9:00 pm)

A co-worker and I, after a day of work, were sitting on our balcony facing North towards Morfee Lake. It was about 8:30 - 9 pm, and we noticed a orange/red light just above the trees, and heading slowly south along the lakes. Not thinking much of it, besides that it was silent, we didn't think about it. It was about 15 mins later, and another rises from the trees, and then another. One floated just about the treeline, but below the top of the mountain south, the other one flew straight upwards, then turned 90 degree's, south, and floated with the other object. The fact that there was no sound, really brought it to our attention.

5-May-1998, Kelowna, BC: (10:00 pm)

I first noticed what appeared to be geese flying north east. There were four maybe five of them occluding the stars and brightened clouds. I pointed and told my friends. Now there were four of us, two men and two women observing this. Then we realized faint lights on the apexes of triangles. As I could not hear engines, I said " I guess that's what ufos are ". They then moved in a northerly direction rather quickly. The whole event took about twenty seconds. We seemed somewhat uncomfortable and called it a night.

27-Mar-2013, Maple Ridge, BC: (8:45 pm)

My adult daughter came upstairs and said there were 4 or 5 bright orange lights in the sky, all in a line. She said they were moving and then stopped. I saw only two because they were blocked by a tall tree. One disappeared, then the last one, the one at the front, also disappeared. We looked through binoculars and there was no cloud.

30-Mar-2013, Port Coquitlam, BC: (about 8 pm)

I was out on my patio which had a view towards downtown Port Coquitlam there was this light that was hovering over downtown Port Coquitlam. I took some video as this is not the first time this has occurred, I saw the same type of light that hovered a few years ago. I have about a minute then I turned it off.  Then all of a sudden the light went slightly left then right and went behind a tree, I turned my phone back on and the light was gone but I wanted to show that it was just...gone! I have the video I will happily send to someone! 

It was about 8pm and I am sure once I download the video a more precise time will be there.

3-Apr-2013, Surrey. BC: (8:45 pm)

Two triangular objects with 3 white lights on the tips and a red light in the middle that blinked periodically. Was hovering south of 64th and moved very quickly from the south turned over 64th and headed west at a low altitude. White lights were very bright pointing downward. People were looking out the windows at it as we were. Then I looked back out and it was gone. The other remained stationary at the south where the other was and then disappeared shortly after. Many planes were viewed flying around the area for the next 30 minutes. The crafts were visible in our area for about 5 minutes. These were no ordinary planes or helicopters, I saw the one clearly and looked it up and found that many people have viewed that same craft on may 17th.

August 1977, Surrey/Coquitlam, BC:

August 1977- Agassiz, BC - As in your historical sightings file.
I can confirm seeing something very similar to this person's sighting over the Port Mann bridge, except it was too far away to make out windows. The mother ship was red and travelled south to north out of Surrey and stopped over the bridge. Then four green objects followed the same path and stopped in a straight line over Coquitlam spaced equidistant apart. At that point, the four green objects started travelling slowly in a westerly direction. When they had passed the horizon I could see the red object shot after them at a very rapid speed.
