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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
