It was my Nephews 1st Birthday in the
middle of the afternoon. There were a lot of people in the backyard at
the time and no one noticed anything. After looking at the image of the
Coastguard Ship I looked at the sky and as you can clearly see, 8
glowing orange dots flying in 2 rectangular formations. Like I said I
had not seen them with my naked eye. I had the image looked at by
photographers and they could find nothing wrong with the image. I have
not tampered with this photo at all. I was hoping you may be able to
give me you ideas on what these objects could be.
(NOTE: The witness did not forward
an image to us. When we get it we will post it.)

I am a teacher, and work nights
teaching students from over seas. Last night after work at midnight, I
took my dogs out for a quick pee before bed. As I was standing in the
vacant lot beside my house, I was looking up at three very bright stars,
just admiring their beauty, when all of a sudden from out behind a cloud
came three lights in a triangular shape, which headed towards the stars
that I was looking at. The vehicle moved very quickly and QUIETLY. The
night was dead quiet, no cars out, nothing, and I couldn't hear the jet
engines like one normally would be able to do on a quiet night. Nor were
there any flashing lights like a normal airplane. The lights flew north,
and literally disappeared within 3 or 4 seconds from the time I saw it
pop out from the clouds. I have never ever in my lifetime seen an
airplane move that quickly...or quietly....through the sky.
The hairs on the back of my neck literally stood up, and I have never
felt a spook like that in my life.
I hope I am just going crazy and saw an airplane.

It was Wednesday evening about 8 40
pm, I was driving towards downtown Nanaimo along a residential street
heading SE Sky was clear, moonless, I saw this bright red rectangular
glowing light (upright rectangle) at about 75 degrees above me through
my windshield. Looked about the size of a car headlight and about as
high as a highrise building. It was stationary, above power lines along
that particular street (Howard and 3rd street approximately). I pulled
over to the sidewalk and sat in my car looking at it through the
windshield and within seconds of my pulling over, the light faded and a
frisby-sized black disc came out from where the light had been and took
off with moderate speed towards SE. I tried to keep it in view but it
disappeared. The black disk was visible against the darkening sky
No witnesses that I know of...no noise, I wanted to find out if I was
the only witness but did not know how so I had the daily news paper
write about my experience but they omitted my email address which I
wanted them to print in case anyone else saw it.

Coming home from work I stopped at the
stop sign at Rauliston Crescent and River Road, just east of Fort
Langley, facing directly to the north, over the Fraser river with golden
ears national park straight ahead in the distance. I was noticing what a
nice night it turned out to be, calm and fairly clear except for the odd
cloud. I was, as always, stargazing and watching the many planes
traveling over the mountains and through the Fraser Valley, a lot of
small planes as usual. As I turned right onto river road I noticed a
craft that I'd never myself seen before, but I do remember just recently
watching some show about encounters and sightings of ufo's, probably
Discovery channel, I watch it a lot. Anyway, one of the UFO'S featured
on the show as depicted by several police officers in the states among
others, was exactly like this one I had just seen. They even showed a
computer generated image, based on the witnesses description and Ya !!,
this was the same, It came from the golden ears direction heading east
toward Chilliwack, I wasn't any higher up than the average small plane
that normally flies through this area, traveling at a pretty relaxed
speed but was absolutely silent, it was a triangle shape with a single
white light at each point and a single red light strobing dead centre on
the underbelly. And I have to add that there were three small planes in
the same area at the same time within a few miles of each other, (I
could hear them...).This wasn't a plane, believe me, they're all over
this area and train over the fields behind my house. Well we're
surrounded by airports,,,,, as you all well know...LOL

At 3:09pm on a very clear and sunny
day, my partner and I were watching a low flying airplane pass by today.
Right after, we saw what it looked to be a silver light about 30,000
feet+ in the sky. It was almost sparkling. We got our binoculars and saw
a closer shot of it. The shape seemed to be a bit rectangular with a
triangular point to it. It had a red light right above it, which did
seem to flash or shimmer. The moving object looked like a craft. It was
very silver/grayish looking and was moving or more less hovering very
slowly from east to south. It could not really be a plane because at
that elevation, a com trail would be present. We watched it for 8
minutes when it just vanished.

I was in the car with my girlfriend on

stopped at the red lights and in the distance I could see a small
extremely brightly lit circle moving fairly fast. It was moving faster
than a plane would look like it was going at that distance. I saw it
until we turned left to go into the Rona parking because the building
got in the way of my view. I am very convince that it was not a plane.

friend told me of just past Brunswick Beach...in the end I ruffed it and
had a little cliff side camp going. Later on I was just lying in my tent
watching the stars - facing the sunshine coast mountains and I saw a
glowing white light move up and over the mountains - it moved so fast
there was no way I could have snapped a photo...The light was big too...i
thought maybe someone fired a flare or fireworks...but the movement of
this object didn't fit that description ...it wasn't moving like it was
fired...it was moving like it was self propelled, plus the distance it
must of traveled was greater than than either two could have gone ... I

Hello. I live in Lake Cowichan, BC and
would like to write about something I had seen the other night. On May
16, 2010 at 9:30pm I was heading into work downtown Lake Cowichan when I
looked up to notice a very bright plane in the sky. The only thing was
is that it was very low to the ground and made no sound at all. It had 3
bright lights unlike a plane that has a blinking or colored light(s). It
was going extremely slow and it came to a complete stop 2 times then as
it was getting quite close the lights went off and it was completely
gone. This whole event lasted about 5 mins.
Any ideas or common sightings?

Hi, this is probably something really
simple and I feel silly even asking; However I live in Lillooet and
every night my family and I see a light in the sky about 70 degrees up.
When looking from Lillooet it's west, northwest and it appears most
nights, it could be every night but we don't see it on cloudy nights. It
appears to be a star or a planet but we can see a red tint on it, it
looks like it doesn't move, yet it is moving towards the earth very
slowly. Then as it is just over mount McLean (where the fire was last
summer) it picks up speed and travels in a northerly direction. I know
it's not a helicopter and also my friends have seen the same light from
Kamloops. I have taken a jpeg but my camera is not the best. If you look
at the pic, the light is just above the highest part of the mountain
slightly to the left. We have been watching it for about 10 nights in a
row now and is driving us crazy. It appears around 8:25pm and flies off
north around 8:50pm. If you can put us out of are anxiety we would
appreciate it. Thanking you, Kevin.
UFO*BC Replies:
Hello Kevin,
We have viewed your photograph closely, and determined that it is almost
certainly the planet Venus. The fact that you see it repeatedly night
after night, and that your friends in Kamloops see it also, leads us to
believe it is an astronomical object. The direction you are looking
(directly west) and the time of day coincide exactly with Venus. It
would be the brightest object in the sky and one of the first visible as
the sun sets. The earth's rotation would have it moving down toward the
mountain and slightly north (to the right).
Sorry to give such a cliché'ed answer, but Venus fools a lot of people.
Thank you for the report though, and keep us in mind if you see anything
else.

June 2009, Mission, BC:
I am sorry for this being rather out
of date, but I had no idea that this site existed and did not know where
to report something of this nature, without sounding like a "crazy
person".
Last year sometime in June, it was between the 3rd or the 7th, as that
was the only time my husband worked the night shift, and I cannot be
exactly sure on the time. I do know that it was dark enough that I could
see stars. We do remember it was a completely clear night (I apologize
for being so vague)
I was outside with my son, (14) on my front lawn talking with my next
door neighbor, we live in a duplex. Out of habit I looked up as I like
to see the stars and my family and I like to try and catch a glimpse of
the space station speeding by, (it's a special feeling when we get to
see it). We live just off of Hurd and Mc Rae. Directly above us was a
very bright object. It was not moving, it looked as though it was
hovering. The light was orangey/reddish with a faint purple hue around
the object resembling an aura...it's really hard to describe. The object
itself was not orange and red, it was the light reflecting off of it?
with another slight purple ring around that. I'm not good at this, I
apologize.
Anyways, I thought I was seeing things
so I pointed upwards and told my neighbor to look up. She immediately
screamed for her boyfriend to come outside. It was low enough that we
knew it wasn't a star, and high enough that there was no way it was the
Good Year Blimp...and you can hear the motor of that going by...there
was no sound coming from this what-so-ever.
A minute or so later, someone pointed
out there was some sort of aircraft coming from East to West quite fast
towards it. We couldn't make out the shape as it was too dark and it was
also quite bright. It resembled a star. I was thinking it was some kind
of government plane coming to check it out when we noticed another one
was coming from North to South towards it as well.
Both looked identical except the 2nd
one seemed a bit smaller, maybe it was higher up? They were almost in
formation of an obscure triangle. As they got closer to the object,
which seemed to me like 1/2 foot away from it, from where I was looking
at. It looked as though there was going to be a collision when the
orange and red thing just disappeared. It was just gone...didn't make
any sense...how could it do that? My son ran around the back yard, but
he couldn't see it anywhere either. The bigger of the two aircraft's
continued on course but came to a complete stop and made a sharp direct
turn. The smaller one continued on its same course. Now we don't know if
they were airplanes, as they were quite fast and didn't have the usual
red, white and blue lights blinking on and off. They were just bright
lights. They kind of flickered then just faded out in the distance...not
as if they continued out of range but as though they just dimmed. We
were just standing in awe and couldn't believe what just took place.
Still looking upwards searching to see where this thing went to, and see
if there was some sort of explanation as to what it possibly could have
been...they kept on saying did you see that? Did you see that? Then I
saw in the middle of the sky, the object reappeared like someone turned
on a light switch. But it was brighter and seemed a bit closer this
time. It was still orange and reddish looking but because it was not
right above us I could see that the colors were more prominent. I don't
know. It hovered there for I'd say about 1/2 a minute then left heading
East/South diagonally pretty fast. The whole encounter took about 3 and
a bit minutes. I did notice when it left the 2nd time it was kind of
shaped like a cal zone, (pizza pop). Round and cut off. By the time this
thing ended there were 3 other people on our streets who saw what we
saw.
I know this sounds bizarre, and if
there was no one there to witness what I saw, I would have gladly
checked myself into Mental Health. My neighbor still talks about it and
is completely freaked out...I on the other hand look at the sky in a
different way.
Also something that happened to my boyfriend (husband) and I, 9 years
ago when we 1st moved out to Mission, just by the old Hatzic Cemetery,
just off of Draper Rd and Cemetery Ave, (this is at the bottom of the
Abby and kitty corner to the St. Claire's Monastery) we were on our way
to the corner store. Now if you are coming down Draper Rd, heading south
then turn right on Cemetery, then left on Dewdney Trunk Rd, (heading
South) all it is is trees on either side of you. Literally less than
half a block on the right side of the street, (our side) I see out of
the corner of my eye, this thing that looked like the shape of a man...I
also thought he was carrying a object resembling a briefcase. I looked
at him and he kept on driving and I asked if he saw something, and he
said he wasn't going to say anything cause he thought I was going to
think he was crazy. I asked him what he saw, and he said he saw a man
about his size 5"10, he didn't see "him" carrying anything, but what we
both saw was that this thing wasn't solid. It doesn't make any sense, I
know, but what I mean by" not solid" is that it was see through like in
Predator. You could see the figure but it was watery looking. Now we
have been told a few things...
-one was that there is a secret tunnel heading from the monastery to the
Abby and maybe there was some kind of monk in a weird robe? And by the
time we looked back he went into the tunnel?
-That maybe it was a ghost from the cemetery?
We still to this day have no idea what it was. But still can remember it
just like it was yesterday. This also took place in mid day...so it was
still bright out.
I would like to point out that we are Christians, are apart of the
worship team at our church, have 2 children, do not get heavily
intoxicated nor do drugs. We are not in the habit of lying either.
All that you have heard is the complete truth. No exaggerations of ANY
sort. If any of you have witnessed one or both of these encounters, we
would really like to hear your input. Or if you have an explanation of
what we have seen, we would gladly appreciate it.
Thank-you

I noticed a flying vehicle in the sky
after finishing off some work we had to do to the house we've been
building. It was long, smooth and cylindrical (cigar) shaped. Metallic
(resembling stainless steel) with no visible markings, windows, doors,
wings, or even a means of propulsion. It was completely silent cruising
at a consistent direction, altitude and speed. It seemed to be traveling
much faster than any planes I've ever seen. I watched it travel from one
horizon to the other in a matter of 20 seconds or so. I presume it was
not man made. If in fact it is a man made craft then such a vehicle is
not public knowledge.
UFO*BC Responds:
That is an interesting sighting.
Just a few questions...
1) Which direction was the cylinder travelling?
2) What angle in the sky above the horizon? (eg. 10 degrees, 45 degrees
- 90 degrees is straight up)
3) Approximate size of object - compare to a coin held at arms length
4) Did you notice any sort of contrail at all behind the object?
5) Did anyone else observe the object or were you alone at the time?

back steps at around 11:15 pm on the night of June 10th 2010. I noticed
a very large and very bright light moving across the sky from left to
right. We continued talking while i continued watching ...the light
moved in a slow steady pace till I pointed it out to my daughter she
looked and saw it as well, and watched it for a couple minutes as she
was in the middle of a sentence she continued talking and I was so
intrigued by this light that I continued watching it, when all of a
sudden it just disappeared..vanished into thin air...I told my daughter
the light just vanished and we searched the sky for 10 minutes watching
to see if it would reappear further into it's flightpath ..but never
did...we searched the entire sky for the light but nothing...there was
no noise with this light...no red or blue blinking lights as an aircraft
would have. I can only describe it's disappearing as something going
into some kind of a stealth mode. It did not shoot off into the sky or
anything it just simply was gone as i was watching it. The next night my
husband also experienced an odd movement in the sky around the same time
in the p.m of the 11th....his sighting was a little different than
ours..his object was moving across the sky left to right then made a
sharp turn to head in a southerly direction ..his object moved at a
medium speed but the lights on it had a pattern blink to them..almost
like a strobe light..he called to me to check it out and I confirmed
what he saw...again there was no noise at all from this light ..we
watched it for about 3 minutes till it got too far away....I'll be

Last night, June 12, 2010, there were
four of us sitting on my balcony, which sits in the middle of Mission's
College Heights area in the East end. I looked up above my roof,
northward, and asked what was that? There is no flightplan from YVR in
that area, as the planes taking off from Vancouver International cross
the south side of our patio, which faces Abbotsford.
The light was orange, like a street lamp colour, with a pulsating red
strip of lights above it. The object was very high up. All four of us
watched it go from North to South, then it started to turn East, then it
sharply turned Northeast, before the red lights disappeared then the
orange light disappeared.
It was in the sky for approximately five minutes. There was no sound.
Don't know if it produced any considering it was so far away. It was not
a plane, that I do know. I have personally seen this yellow light
before, about 15 years ago in Abbotsford. I am quick to recall things as
I am a former journalist.
I find it interesting that most of the sightings in Mission, here do
involve an orangish type orb. You can contact me if needed.

I'm typing this at 12:20 am (watching
a movie); I went outside on the porch to get some fresh air around
11:30, just sitting in the chair on the patio.
I looked up in the sky and saw a bright light shining; no biggy. Figured
it was a planet at first. But then it broke apart into two lights. They
sat side by side for a moment. Then they pulled apart from one another,
drew close again to form one light, broke apart from one another, formed
one light, and so on. This went on for about 1 minute.
I closed my eyes, thinking maybe I'm just tired. I opened my eyes,
focused on the trees ahead of me ~ crystal clear. Held up 2 fingers in
front of my eyes ~ crystal clear.
When I looked back into the sky, the lights were still there, repeating
this pattern. There were no red lights flashing (signifying an
airplane); regardless, what lights stand still in the sky, and move
inward, outward, inward, outward?
I looked at the trees again, and when I looked back at the sky, the
lights formed into one again, and then disappeared. I called Brett out
asap, but they were gone. I haven't seen them since.
He says the direction was above Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows...just wondered
if you have heard of this yet, or if not, if you do, can you let me
know?

18-May-2010, Penticton, BC:
Hi there. I am an active amateur
astronomer from Vancouver. I spend a lot of my time (and money) doing
astrophotography so I spend a fair bit of time out in the dark at night
and I am quite familiar with sky phenomena, meteors, satellites, iridium
flares, comets, planets, etc. I went on a trip with my girlfriend last
week up to stay at a cabin on Lake Skaha, in Penticton. One of the
reasons we went on this trip was to take my telescope out to dark skies
and take some photos and also check out Canada's largest Radio telescope
observatory which happened to be a 25 minute drive from where we were
staying. On Wednesday, May 19th we drove up to the observatory just to
take a look around. It was around 7pm when we arrived at the gates
outside the observatory and it was closed for the night so I thought I
would walk across the road, up the hill to see if I could get a better
look and take a photo of the telescopes in the distance. I have attached
two images, one of them is a still frame from a video I took when I
stood on the hill and there is clearly nothing shiny or bright in the
upper right background of the image. The second shows a photo taken from
the same hill and oddly there is a very bright object just over the
trees. I didn't even notice it was in the photo until today (May 22nd).
It doesn't appear to look much like a sun reflection. What do you think?
Back to the story, we left the observatory and decided to drive back to
the cabin to grab the telescope and lawn chairs, camera, etc because the
sun would be going down in a few hours. We drove back to Penticton and
ate dinner then returned back up to the outside gates of the observatory
at about 11:00 pm. By then the sky was completely clear and the moon was
just setting in the west and the sky was filled with bright stars and
the milky way was rising from the east. I was quite excited to see so
many stars and went ahead and set up my telescope and took some images
of galaxies, and nebula etc. After several hours of star gazing we saw
many meteorites, and satellites but something caught my attention in the
corner of my eye. Looking westward I happened to see a strange light
blue fuzzy round shape quickly fly northward directly above the tree
line, and then it swooped down into the trees and disappeared. I said
"What was that"?? My girlfriend didn't see it but said "it was probably
a meteor or something".. I definitely saw the size and shape of it and
it was definitely not a meteor, nor was it high enough up to be a
meteor. Then I kept looking west hoping to see a glimpse of it again but
I have to admit there was a feeling of unease. It was kinda spooky. The
entire time we were up there we did not hear any birds chirping although
during the day we had heard a lot. The whole night, the area was silent
of birds.. and then suddenly right after I saw this blue object, several
birds started chirping. It was an eerie feeling and by that point my
girlfriend decided it was time to go so she got in the car and I packed
up my stuff then we drove back to Penticton. Here is the other odd thing
I am thinking about now is, it really didn't feel like I was up there
for 3 hours, (11pm-2am) .. I hope I am not experiencing "missing time"
.. that would be scary. Anyways, so I noticed this photo today and it
makes me wonder.. what did I see that night?
Let me know what you think, have you seen objects similar in shape to
this gold one? Or could this simply be a lens flare and even then, what
do you think I saw? Is there any similar sightings in BC?

Hi....Today, Sunday May 24th, at

Bald Eagles in the sky, being harassed by 3 smaller birds. As the Eagles
flew higher and higher, I noticed from the West, a Bold Black Spherical
Object, similar to a Cannon Ball shooting across the sky. It started to
fly in an wide "S" maneuver then it disappeared out of my sight over the
trees towards a North Eastern direction. In my sight it was about 1/8th
of an inch, I watched it for about 5 seconds. I'd estimate it was
traveling at least about 200 mph, no sound to be heard. It was totally
round...and no it was not a black party balloon! What ever altitude the

On Friday, June 25th at around 8:30pm,
I saw about a dozen UFO objects from my balcony overlooking English Bay.
I'm used to seeing airplanes and helicopters, so I know these were not
conventional aircraft. Also, I know a lot of people must have seen them
too, because I saw people on the beach looking up.
Here's what I saw: An object appearing
out of the sky, it hovered and moved west past UBC and disappeared, then
another appeared, and another. The sky was filling with these objects.
They would shine brightly and then become black specs in the sky.
However, I believe there was more than one type of craft, because a
different type of UFO appeared that leaves a small trail behind it, yet
it doesn't move. I saw the shiny UFO move towards this trail and then
both disappeared.
The objects were close and one of them
resembled a jet, but it didn't share the characteristics of jets ie:
Noise, speed, design, etc. These objects kept appearing and disappearing
over the ocean. It was like they were travelling inter-dimensionally.
What is strange is that I didn't take any pictures or video to prove
what I saw. What I did do was stay at my balcony the entire time until
they all disappeared. At around 9:00pm, as the sun was setting
beautifully over the mountains, a final UFO appeared and moved west. It
was bright, colorful.
This experience has prompted me to
make sure to take pictures and document this evidence. I believe we may
be contacted soon.

My 2 friends and I were standing
outside his garage admiring the stars, as it has been overcast lately,
we began discussing satellites and started scanning the skies for moving
objects. I spotted a really bright, moving object coming from the west
headed due east. It was moving much faster than satellites I've seen in
the past. When I stared at it for a few seconds I noticed in my
peripheral vision a second dimly lit light following a short distance
behind. Neither light was blinking, nor was there any color. The object
looked to be high enough to be in orbit, but moving at high speed. I
have seen the ISS in orbit and this object was at least 1/3 brighter and
moving 3 times the speed. It traveled across the sky above us, covering
the distance in approx 30 seconds. My friends were saying that the
second orb was getting closer to the larger sphere, I didn't see it
moving closer, but as it moved past 90 degrees above us, the illusion
that the second orb was getting closer to the first was probably caused
by orbital curvature and our own POV (point of view). The spacing
between the two orbs was as such, you could have fit about 15 of the
larger, brighter sphere between the first and second orbs, and it almost
seemed that the light coming from the bright sphere was strong enough to
almost hide the second smaller sphere. I'm not sure what it was, one
object or two? But it was strange in the least.

2-Jul-2010, Kennedy Lake, BC: (11:50 pm)
For the Canada Day long weekend my
family of four and nephew went camping a few km west of Kennedy Lake
(about 40 km east of Tofino, BC). Years ago my wife and I had spotted a
UFO at Kennedy Lake while joking about one shining a flashlight into the
sky. So since we were back in the same area we figure it would be fun
try it again. So on the first clear night (2nd of July) once it became
dark we started playing around with the red laser pointer and led Mag
flashlight. Writing things in the sky and blinking them on and off etc.
At 11:50pm directly overhead we saw two bright white lights appear one
traveling South to north the other traveling West to East. They quickly
crossed paths then the UFO traveling North either disappears or traveled
out of sight behind the tree cover. I could not tell for sure which. The
opening in the trees above our heads was small so it was not in view for
more than a a second or two. The the object traveling West to East we
watched travel straight until it was out of sight in the distance (total
time was about 2min 10 sec). It may have slowed down further away but it
was difficult to tell. My wife did try and take a video of it with our
camera but unfortunately it is not a very good camera for such things
and the video looks like a star...nothing like we saw in person. Another
interesting note is that after the UFO passed over, my wife went to
check the time on her cell phone which was off since there is to cell
service where we were camped. She took it out of the purse and it was on
and had service. The phone was definitely off previously and it can not
be accidentally turned on. She turned it off then back on and there was
no service again. Very strange.
Here are my very rough estimates of the UFO:
Approximate Altitude 1000'
Approximate speed 1800km/h
No sound emitted at anytime.
No smoke or contrail.
It was a very bright pure white light. Which seemed a bit dimmer in the
center. I do not think it was perfectly rounds but close.
If I held a 1 1/4” diameter object at arms length that would be about
the size of the objects directly over head. At 1000' alt I believe that
would work out to roughly 500' in dia. These numbers could be off by a
fair bit since it is very hard to estimate the size and distance of an
object that I do not know what it is.
I am 100% certain this was not a meteorite, satellite, known
aircraft...or weather balloon.
Since I am not sure what the International Space Station looks like from
Earth I thought I would look it out.
NASA's website states that the International space station passed over
Port Alberni (100 km east of our position) on Fri Jul 02 11:40 PM for a
duration of 4 minutes
Max elevation 71deg APPROACH 16 above WNW DEPARTURE 20 above E
What you'll see:
Assuming the station is in sunlight, it should appear as a bright and
fast moving star. The longest the station will remain in view to a
ground based observer is 4 minutes. When passing directly overhead, the
station zips from horizon to horizon is 240 seconds or less. For most
locations, the viewing window will be 120 seconds (or less). The time is
close but the Space Station definitely is not what we saw either.

I sitting at the intersection of
Gordon Drive and Dehart Road at around 10:45pm last night (7/7). And as
I looked out my window to the west I noticed a bright light approaching
from the west heading slightly SE which. This isn't out of the usual as
many planes fly into the city from that direction, but this light seemed
odd as I couldn't see a single light flashing on any wingtips or the
tail. I turned left on Dehart and kept watching as it appeared to be
flying above the mountains and I thought at anytime the light would dim
as it became perpendicular to my location, but it didn't. It remained
the same intensity as it flew by as if it were a ball of light instead
of the headlights of an airplane. I thought I'd head up back the
mountain to keep watching so I turned left again and started up
Lakeshore Road which become Chute Lake Road and then left again at Frost
Road. At this point I was heading east and it was moving almost parallel
but also slightly south. Then it was if someone turned a dimmer switch
and it dimmed over a few seconds until I couldn't perceive it any
longer. Right afterwards I could see 3 different planes over the city
with their normal markers on and flickering. 2 coming from the west
where the ball just came from and another to the north flying west.
Not sure what it was, but it didn't seem high up in space.

Camping with friends when my son saw a
white light traveling from what appeared to be north to south. A second
smaller dimmer light was following it. It looked like a satellite
although was very bright and cruising at a pretty good speed. There is
mention of satellite's traveling in formation on the net so probably
one. A while later it reappeared only was west of us this time. Not
related but myself and a friend were observing bright lights appearing
in the sky to the west from my porch in Vancouver a couple of days ago.
They looked like meteor's only no streak. Our guess is the angle off
attack was from the west and they were stuff burning up ... they glowed
really bright then went dim.

14-Jul-2010, Burnaby, BC: (9:23 pm)
I witnessed a white streak in the west
sky over downtown Vancouver from my 17th storey apartment in Burnaby.
This was at sunset and at first I thought it was a cloud because it was
very large and there was another cloud to the right of it in the sky.
The right cloud was just that but the left one started to move. It was
very far away and it must be very large because it moved slowly to the
left. I took pictures because in the 5 years I have been living here I
have never seen anything like this. In one picture I have an airplane in
the sky and you can clearly see it is an airplane above the white streak
and the white streak is clearly bigger than the airplane. Plus the
airplane is black the streak is very white and bright. I have 6 pictures
in total and will happily send them to you so u can see them. The white
streak slowly moved up and left past the building in front us and I lost
sight of it. It never returned and it is strange and unexplained. I am
just wondering if u had any other sightings tonight.
Give me a call tomorrow if you want to
hear the whole story because I am sure I am not doing it justice by
writing what happened. Cheers.
UFO*BC Responds:
From the direction, the time of day
and your description, I am quite sure that what you are seeing are
actually clouds. Over the years, many people have called about them, and
I have seen them myself.
Under the right circumstances, the setting sun will illuminate some
clouds with a spectacular bright white light, while others (at different
distances and elevations) will be normal looking fluffy white clouds.
Sometimes the illuminated clouds will have a red tinge along the edge.
Because of the different elevations, they may seem to move independently
of the other clouds, commonly moving towards the southwest. As the cloud
moved closer, you would lose the reflection of the sun, and it would
quickly "fade out". By this time it would also look larger, more
cloud-like and diffuse. If the object remained brightly lit as it passed
your location - it would be something completely different!
Of course, this is just my best guess. What you saw may be completely
different. We would be happy to view your pictures. If they are large
images, please just send me just a couple at a time.
Thank you for your report.

Hi David,
Thanks for getting back to me, I
understand what you mean about the clouds moving, but this was something
different it was a white streak that stayed the same size. If u zoom in
on the picture u can almost make out a trailing of energy. The best
thing I can do is send you the pictures. I will do so as soon as I am
done work. Probably after 6 or so. I am really curious to see what u
think. Thanks and Cheers.
UFO*BC Responds:
Thanks for the images. I stand by
my previous comments, except that they are probably contrail segments,
not clouds. I know it is not a very exciting explanation, but one of the
UFO*BC Directors, Martin Jasek, has a home in North Delta, with a great
view to the west. We have had meetings on his patio and have seen very
similar contrail segments before.

Hey David,
I just saw what you wrote on UFO BC, and I have to disagree with what
you think. It was definitely not contrail segments. You should really
see the originals. If you close up on the object there are distinct
lights on it. I will try to zoom in and send you the pics again. Trust
me I have been taking pictures of the sunset from my apartment for 5
years and I have never seen anything like this. Plus my girlfriend also
saw this object and we are both in agreement that this was something
more.
Also on a side note a buddy of mine

China on pretty much the same day that looked exactly the same odject we
saw. I don't know if you have seen these pictures or video but it is

Dear ufobc, to add a bit more to my
previous email, I was with some friends, we had bb guns and came across
a small "flying saucer" on the grass at shaugnessy golf course. I went
up to it, to show off for my friends and I actually played "bongos" on
this small object it was about as big as a vw beetle (but round). I then
walked to the side to get a better view of this silver ball like thing
and a small 4 ft tall "non human man" was there. He was so pale he was
nearly blue had a white suit on that had a blue sash around his waist
and looked like the man from glad from tv commercials. I said "My name
is Kim" and put my right hand on my heart as I said it and he responded
by holding his hands palms upward and made a sound, but he didn't seem
to have a tongue.? at one point he put out his right arm and nodded for
me to do the same with my left, and I was allowed to compare my hand
with his and except for the pallor we were very similar. At this point I
heard a voice in my head that spoke the words "Would you like to pray"?
and he bowed and put his arms pointing down with palms towards me. I was
a bit embarrassed and to get a laugh from my friends who were literally
"stunned" I made a gesture to the bb gun in my right pocket. He seemed
to sense this and now I had to apologize for this and explained that it
was only a bb gun not real and he seemed to understand. I said a few
more things then waved and he waved back and I joined my friends. I have
also had other close up encounters, one on a street in Vancouver where I
was in a beam of light and was inside this "anti-gravity" vehicle. I had
a medical exam and was very ill for up to 10 days after. I was called by
the "Bigelow group" and spoke at length about this to Bill Jones ...I
have 3 other sightings.

Red, green, white light.. the object
is has been in one place for a long time for more than half an hour, it
is not a plane since a plane was seen moving through the sky while that
object did not move at all. We live by the Abbotsford airport and this
sighting is not a plane for sure !!
UFO*BC Responds:
From your description I would think
what you saw is probably a star. The color of a star can change rapidly
and continuously due to atmospheric scintillation. (Refer to this
resource: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/why-do-stars-twinkle.html).
This effect is also the cause of the changes in brightness of stars. The
scintillation of color is more pronounced on stars which are closer to
the horizon than those that are more overhead. This is because the
atmospheric layer is thicker when looking towards the horizon.
If you have a chance to look at these stars through binoculars, you can
sometimes see these colors very clearly as the star moves about due to
shaking. This effect is sometimes very noticeable in some photographs or
videos of stars when the camera is zoomed in.
Of course, I wasn't there so I do not know for sure that you were
looking at a star, but that does seem to be the most likely possibility
based on your description.
Thanks for your report.

theses lights were in right in the middle and i doubt there would be
lights that far up. they hovered there i seen them for a good 20

there was a cloud formation that had formed almost instantly. The
relevance to the formation stuck me deeply. I took 3 Photographs of it,
as to assure validity. I took personnel solace from this event and
carried on with life. I placed this picture on my Desktop as constant
reminder of Hope and Unity. In June of 2010 I had to format my PC and
lost this picture from my Hard Drive. During the process of downloading
it from the original source back to my PC. I noticed something in the
picture I had never seen before. After resizing and magnifying the
picture, it became clear it was not a Bird, Plane or Balloon and can
only be categorized as an UFO. The ramifications of this being
intelligent life observing me and manifesting this cloud formation for
my benefit, weigh heavily on my thoughts and belief systems. I have not
draw to the conclusion that this is what I believe or contrive to, but
merely that the timing and possible facts could be consequential.

On June 15Th around 10:30 AM, I was
sitting outside having a cigarette. I notice something black and white
floating through the cloudy sky over South Vancouver. At first I thought
it may be a bird or some black and white party balloons that got loose.
The object was floating westward and I was facing North. It was floating
around in a see-saw motion slowly. This object was as black as black
could be and it would change to a bright white every 2 seconds. I knew
this because I began counting its pattern of change.. 1 one thousand, 2
one thousand. Black then White. Black then White. I became more curious
as it stopped dead in its flight and stayed in one spot for a short
while, maybe 20-30 seconds, then it went straight back to where I had
originally seen it a few minutes before. It had traveled back and in a
straight line faster then it had been moving before hand. This object
then stayed still for about another 20-30 seconds and its shape had
become more defined. It was round like a ball and like I wrote earlier,
continued to change from black to white but with more sharper edges and
contrast to the grey cloudy skies. I got up out up from my chair and
watch it with very closely. Then it flew off quickly in a straight line
towards the Vancouver Downtown Area. I could clearly make out its
position and started to take some measurements of its position from
where I was looking at it. I'm in the South Hill area of South Vancouver
at East 49Th and Fraser St. The object was about 30 degrees above the
horizon and at my 11 o clock position with me facing North. I went
upstairs and told 2 of my house mates about what I was seeing and asked
them if they could see the object also. It took a while for me to direct
their eyes to where this object was motionless in the skies over
Vancouver however they did see it and noticed how it change from Black
to White as I had. The object continued to stay in its place for another
3-4 minutes and was highly defined by the dark gray clouds in the
background. My house mates did not seemed as interested at its presence
as I was. I then went up to the top floor to watch it from my bedroom
window but by the time I got there and look this thing had gone away. I
did not think too much of this event or really talked about it since it
was unidentifiable. However. One of the house mates said he saw this
object again, a couple of days later as he was about to get in his car.
He said it was blinking black to white just as before and was moving
about the sky above him then just vanished.

While I either had a moment where I
fell asleep or something but at 2:10 this afternoon I spotted something
strange while at work. Now I work as a sign holder on the southwest
corner of Lougheed Highway and Production Way in North Burnaby. And from
that spot I've seen planes, birds and other standard things in the sky.
But what I spotted today is something that I would think is a
stereotypical sighting. What happened was just over the paint plant on
Lougheed Highway at 2:10pm a sliver metallic object just appeared from
the southwest. The best I can describe it is when a car at night comes
up from a hill and all you see are the headlights. Now when I spotted
it, I first assumed it was a plane of some sort. But as it got closer
it, looked like either an acorn without the top or a spinning top.
Because unlike those things it wasn't the top and bottom that spun it
was the center. The way I found that out was as it spun in a clockwise
direction, the sun would shine on it and you could tell the center was
spinning because it was each panel. Now as I observed it, a train went
by and was gone. It was even obscured by trees and it still showed up.
But it was just... so bizarre because as I looked at it I felt, curious
and in awe. Then when I checked the time, 20 minutes had passed it was
2:30PM. Now I've never had a time when I've stared at something in the
sky and its almost as if time did not exist. After a few hours of
thought, I either saw a weather balloon or saw a UFO.

high flight of stubby cigar shapes,
slightly luminous grayish coloured formation of 7-9 objects travelling
from the ne to the sw about 2-4 miles up and travelling fast enough that
the visible sky was crossed in 4-6 seconds. The trajectory was flatter
than you see a passenger jet make as it goes over and the objects appear
to somehow overcome the laws of physics by changing positions rapidly,
moving about in the formation seemingly at random from one side of the
formation to the other and from the back to the front then staying in
that position while travelling at very high (thousands of mph?) speeds.

I was walking past central elementary

before I always look at clear skies. Sure enough I see a bright orb that
I thought was a star at first, orange hue, so I stopped and looked
further. It proceeded to move slowly down to the right, then changed
direction and went up to the left, then straight up, then faded out and
disappeared.
Without exaggeration, I've seen this same phenomenon on 5 separate
occasions, most with multiple witnesses, over the course of the last 2
years. This might seem strange, but I've always been interested in the
idea, and when I saw the first one at random I began to look at the sky
more often. If you're ever out for a cigarette, or a walk, and the sky
is clear, look up more often and you'll undoubtedly see something like
this eventually. They seem to be relatively common.

we noticed an object in the north east part of the sky that was flashing
blue and red lights. It was moving extremely erratically. It would
remain still for a few moments, and then without warning would move
about in random directions at an extremely fast rate, much faster and
chaotic than any plane could move (I think). It would do zig-zags,
circles, move left and right and up and down. We drove home and could
still see it from our house, behaving in a similar manner. At around

Last night at about 1:45 am I was
woken up from a sleep to hear a loud noise sounding like a jet taking
off so I got out of bed and looked and there was a very bright light out
to the east just passing my house. It was low at first then seemed to
stop in the air and then went very quick climbing higher into the sky.
It stayed hovering to the east for some time. My husband and I got out
the binoculars and when he was looking at it he said something dropped
out of it. When I looked you could see something similar but smaller and
not as bright. The smaller light came close to the earth and seemed like
it was in my front yard. The larger one stayed hovering very high. I
called the RCMP and they said they did not have any aircraft in the area
and then I did call the Abbotsford news and they said maybe it was from
the Airshow. I think not especially at that time of night and it was
very bright and it was almost like a cluster of light bulbs. Planes do
not hover and helicopters are not quiet, I do know what those look like.
It is definitely unexplainable and was not an airplane. We live in
Mission and a couple nights before another couple of a friend were
sitting on their deck (not drinking) and they saw in the same area
something they could not explain either and they said it was like it was
hovering but they explained it as having an orange hue and there was
also 2 of them. Another friend then shared when she woke up in the
middle of the night a few nights ago and looked outside there was like a
hue in the sky almost like you would see a sepia picture, not clear and
a different color. Has anyone else in the Mission area seen anything
they cannot explain but know it is not the Airshow etc?
UFO*BC Replies:
Thank you for your sighting report.
Sounds mysterious. I have some questions to clarify some details about
your sighting:
1. When you saw the first light, what
direction was it travelling? What color was the light? When you say the
light went up high, what angle was it from the horizon? (the horizon
being 0 degrees and straight up being 90 degrees)
2. What color was the second light?
When you say it seemed to be in your yard, did the light actually
illuminate any or the area or was this simply a perception that it
seemed nearby?
We have not had any other reports of
this incident, but we often get reports of orange colored lights
observed in the Mission and eastern Fraser Valley area. It is possible
that some of these are "Chinese lanterns" (which are objects which are
lighter than air, illuminated and heated by candles). However,
some of the observations seem to suggest behavior which cannot be
accounted for by this explanation.
When you said that you were awakened
by a loud noise sounding like a jet taking off, I immediately thought
about the military aircraft which should be arriving for the weekend air
show - although it would make more sense for a jet to be landing than
taking off.
I also was wondering if this might be
some sort of training for firefighting drops by Connair perhaps? Or the
Canadian armed forces? Just some ideas. Also is there any possibility
that the light which was dropped was a flare? You said it looked like a
cluster of light bulbs. Does that mean you could see what seemed like
more than one light source? Maybe you could ask your husband if he saw
more detail through the binoculars? If either light was from an
aircraft, he should have observed a red or blue navigation light unless
the other light was so bright that it overpowered the light emitted by
the nav lights.
The police helicopters that are used
most frequently over the lower mainland have a bright red beacon on the
tail rotor plus additional red and blue navigational lights. They also
have bright searchlights but these have a narrow focus beam.
There are many helicopters which are
powered by jet turbines and these can be quite loud. I have been awoken
once by the sound of a Huey helicopter flying over my house in Surrey.
It was very loud but it also sounded very much like a helicopter.
Anyways, thanks again for the sighting
report. We'll be sure to let you know if we hear of any similar reports
in the next few days.

Hello Gord,
1. The light was travelling East. The
light was white. The angle would have been about 20 - 30 from the
horizon.
2. The second light was white like but
almost hazed or blurry so not bright. It did not illuminate the yard it
seemed like it was close, like 200 feet away but I know it must have
been further.
It was no aircraft that I have ever
seen, no red or blue lights, just bright. I thought you might think it
would have something to do with the Airshow but a plane does not hover
back and forth.
My husband said when he was looking
thru the binoculars the light that was hovering dropped something round
and black from it. Before this neither of us noticed anything beside the
large cluster of light and then after my husband said something dropped
down there was a light beside it, the one that I said came closer to the
house.
I have had many planes over my house
before and the RCMP helicopter so I am aware of what the sound is like
and this was not it. It was different than a plane and I am sure nothing
from the Airshow would be that low and that late at night. The RCMP in
Mission said they had no aircraft in the area when I called. After it
had passed my house it was low like I said and it was quiet and I heard
no other noise after that.
I have flown in airplanes and a
helicopter before so I am familiar with the lighting and sounds. I
cannot say anything but unexplainable and wish I had a good camera
because it does sound crazy !
When looking thru the binoculars it
was very bright and at times and I could see clusters of lights
together. It was like 3d then it turned sideways and then it became more
like one light. With just our eyes it was very bright and you could see
it moving back and forth clearly. I cannot explain what it was but I
know it was not like anything I have ever seen or experienced before.
One other thing the sky was so clear
last night and the stars were beautiful but again this was not a star or
aircraft.
Thanks for listening.

Thank you very much for your reply. I
hope you appreciate that we have to try our best to eliminate all
possible conventional explanations.
I find your reports to be
unexplainable. I should say that I have seen UFOs myself and I know that
not all are explainable.
I hope you understand that all of our
questions are specifically asked to try to rule out more conventional
explanations. I wish I was there to see this also.
You didn't say why it was that you
thought the second object was close by. I do find your comment
interesting that it was like 3d then turned sideways.
Please let us know if you see anything
more.
Cheers,
Gord
I agree that there should be no low
traffic from Abbotsford over your house in Mission. Was the sound louder
than anything you could remember? Do you ever hear jet takeoffs from
Abbotsford?

Mid-May-2010, Naramata, BC:
On a clear mid-May morning I stepped
out onto our deck with a coffee and cigarette and immediately noticed an
object flying northward, straight, true and reasonably fast,
approximately 200 - 300 feet above the middle of Lake Okanagan. More
luminescent than shiny, it appeared almost pearly in colour. My first
thought was "Gee, it's a little early for flying a remote-control
aircraft", then realized there was no sound whatsoever emanating from
this object. Then several more appeared moments later, flying in a loose
formation, also heading northwards. I grabbed binoculars and watched
these things moving up the lake and became seriously spooked. These
objects had no wings or tails, made no bird-like undulations, made no
sound whatsoever and moved far faster than the flocks of geese or
Sandhill cranes that we were quite used to seeing over the lake. My
girlfriend described the objects as being almost like the Mercedes
emblem without the ring. I know it sounds silly, but that's what she
saw. Then they disappeared, leaving us very puzzled and reluctant to
share the experience with others. What do you think we saw that morning?

coloured bottoms they made no noise and went over top of my house 600
feet above me then disappeared.

My partner and I stargaze every single
night in our backyard. This particular night we saw 2 bright lights
flying from the West side by side. At first we thought them to be
shooting stars but neither of them had a tail. Then we thought they were
satellites, but as they flew over us, they starting weaving in and out
of each other and behaving in almost a playful manner. It was clear they
could move in any which direction they wanted. They made absolutely no
noise and disappeared in the East.

My brother and I saw a sighting near
No. 3 Road and Granville. It was a dark clear night and we saw a white
circle shape of sighting which was moving slowly in the sky. It suddenly
moved fast after few seconds. My brother used his iphone to record that
moment.

On June 20th My girlfriend and I were
sitting on Okanagan Lake in Osoyoos, BC between 11 pm and midnight. We
were looking up at the sky looking at the stars and counting the
Satellite, when I noticed a bright white sphere moving across the sky.
It was very close and very large, I couldn't believe how fast it was
moving and at a steady speed, I had enough time to say to my girlfriend
and in exact words "Look at that white sphere, wow it is moving fast it
can't be an airplane, there's no flashing lights. Look how fast it's
going and listen, if this was a plane you would here the engines, and
listen there's nothing...my god I think we are looking at a UFO!" (this
entire time I'm speaking we watched it move across the whole sky with in
30 seconds and close over our heads.) "Wow hunny look it's disappearing
right in front of us...wow it's gone just like that."
It was an amazing sight to see. I know
it wasn't a plane, a Satellite, (way, way too low), a bird....and there
was NO sound at all. I just thought I would share this with you.

It was about 12:00 a.m. [midnight Aug
17/18] and I was on my patio sitting having a cigarette. I looked up and
saw an airplane flashing as it went by. Then as I kept looking I noticed
a flicking light in the north slightly east. At first I thought it was a
star but it would get brighter and change shapes. It would form a
straight line with lights and then it would look triangular. I just saw
the lights being one color, white. My son said that the colors were
turning blue, green and red interchangeably. I believe him because I
have horrible vision. Whatever it was it was far away. We sat and
watched it for about half an hour. I went inside and came back out and
it was still there about an hour later. By 2:23 I went out again and did
not see anything. I was thinking maybe it was a satellite but I am not
certain what one looks like? It was just very strange considering there
were also 2 airplanes flying around.

My friend and I were walking back home
from our night-time walk. We were walking up the hill and talking. Then
my friend pointed out a light in the sky. At first, we thought it was an
air-plane. We were both watching the object. It was extremely bright and
blinking, it was a white color with a haze around it. It looked like it
was heading in a straight line like a plane. It was moving to the left
across the sky, then would stop and hover while blinking. Then the
object started to jump up slightly and back down to where it started.
The object continued to jump up and back down extremely fast. It
continued to head left, still blinking. Then the object jumped back
several metres between blinks and started to blink again. Then the
object was moving in many directions going forward and up, and down,
then hovering. The object went behind the trees for a brief moment then
jumped back up into our sight again. It kept moving in various
directions. It went up higher and then just vanished. My friend and I
walked towards the area the object was; we couldn’t see the object
anywhere in the sky. It was a clear night. There weren’t any clouds in
the sky. The object was about twice the size of the stars, and much
brighter. It was brighter than the street lights.

Walked out back door onto ground level
patio. Turned around looked up over house to night sky. At that moment I
saw a long blue arc with an undefined orb near the center of it flash
what looked like about 80 feet over my house although it was probably
more directly over the street out front. Establishing coordinates for it
is difficult. This was in a regular flight path for the local airport
but this was definitely not a man-made craft or effect. I now know for
certain, without ANY doubt, we aren't alone - and furthermore if I'm not
mistaken, they're becoming more frequent & bold. No one can convince me
that I did not witness what I saw. Whatever they are / it is, it's real.
Now I know.
