23-Sep-2011, Kelowna, BC: (1:05 pm)

While I was at work yesterday I took a couple of photos of one of those high altitude jets flying over with the white contrail behind it. I was using my Canon Rebel XSi with an 18-55mm lens set on automatic with the image stabiliser and autofocus on.

When I downloaded the photos I could see a dark object ahead and above the jet in the photo, very small but you could see it. When you zoom in the object becomes clearer and is obviously a disc shape which is as big if not bigger than the jet itself. Also when you scan to the right at the same height there is a smaller disc shaped craft behind and above the jet flying on an angle.

What are these objects doing here? And why are they flying along with this jet? I also noticed that the jet has no discernable markings of any kind. No numbers no tail markings, nothing! And the pilot had to have been able to see that huge disc in front and above ther is no way any pilot would have missed that and I'm sure these Black ops jets are equipped with all the latest technology and radar equiptment so they had to know these objects were there.
We are being lied to and not in any small way either! They know a lot more than what they are telling the public! It's just too obvious.

The photos I took are the raw images unedited and untouched. I have shown them to a few people and everyone is amazed by what's there. The disc in front is pretty clear and so obviously saucer shaped!

Witness adds photo and more details:

Here is the unedited photo I took yesterday afternoon in the sky above Kelowna, BC. It clearly shows a jet but zoom in a bit and you can also clearly see a large disc-shaped object in front and above the jet as well as a smaller disc shape flying on an angle behind and above the jet at the same altitude as the larger disc out front. Photo was taken around 1 pm yesterday afternoon using a Canon Rebel XSi  digital camera using an 18-55mm lens with image stabilizer and autofocus on. What do you see here? Looks pretty obvious to me!

26-Sep-2011, Kamloops, BC: (early morning)

Early morning meteor witnessed heading east from Kamloops towards Shuswap and Salmon Arm area. The meteor was a brillant blue at start of pass then changed to turquoise green. It was so bright as it descended across the sky it lit up the surrounding mountain range just east of Kamloops. The meteor was visible for about 2-3 seconds before I lost visual due to Mount Paul and Harper mountains proximity to my viewing angle which was from the airport looking east. Very impressive!

Early June 2001, Vancouver, BC:

Hi - This is an experience that happened in 2001 that I've pretty much kept to myself. It's quite odd, so I've hesitated telling it over the years. I do not suffer from mental illness, or had anything similar happen before or since. Prior to this, I did not really believe in aliens.

I was about to move and was looking to replace a small area of underlay in the home I was vacating. I looked in the phonebook for carpetting businesses in Vancouver, and jotted down the address of a warehouse, as well. My teenage daughter went along with me as we went to the businesses on the list. It was a warm afternoon in June, and just when I was about to call it quits with no success, decided to try the warehouse on the way home - which was located in an industrial area around W. 5th. I think - can't remember precise location anymore.

When we first entered the storefront, no one was there. There was a long front desk and an open door behind it leading to the warehouse area. After a minute or two of waiting and wondering if anyone was even around, a man came out from the warehouse. He didn't say a word and seemed surprised to see us. I asked if he sold the underlay I was looking for, and he just stood there, shook his head no and stared at us. Then two other people came from the back, another man and a woman. Both did the same - staring at us intently, but not saying a word. I again mentioned what I was there for, but they continued to stare and say nothing.

By this time I was feeling quite uncomfortable by them, when a third man emerged from the back, looking very stern. I told him why I was there, and did he have the underlay I was looking for. He gave me an abrupt "no" and nothing more.  O.k, now I'm getting nervous, as I'm thinking what the hell is going on here, why are these people acting so strange about a simple question about underlay, so I go into a spiel of why I'm there, as I felt like I had either walked in on something, or interrupted something weird going on in their warehouse. The last guy was the only one who spoke to me, basically an angry "no" each time I asked a question. But the odd thing was, each time he spoke to me, the other three would all turn in unison to look at him, then turn back in unison again to look at me when I spoke. I was feeling really spooked by their behavior and actually concerned for our safety, when it got a bit weirder... out of nowhere, I heard an audible voice in my head say "they're aliens".

My mind started racing at that point, trying to make sense of what was happening, not to mention the voice I just heard. I knew I needed to get out of there immediately, even if I didn't quite believe what was happening, but felt like I shouldn't show fear. For some odd reason, I felt like I needed to confront them, so to the first guy, I said in my mind, "I know who you are, and that you know what I'm thinking right now."  At that moment he got a little smirk on his face, which was the first change in his expression I saw. We left immediately.

My daughter was quite shook up and frightened by the experience. She felt very strongly that our safety was somehow at risk, that these people were "not normal"  and that we had walked in on something and should call police.  I didn't tell her about my experience with the audible voice until later. We both felt that they did not act human, and that our presence was unexpected and unwelcome. I believe the third man was their leader or in charge, that they were telepathic and communicating with him each time they turned to him - or at least that's what I sensed. I have no idea who or what the voice was who warned me - very strange experience.

November 2000, Duncan, BC:

In 2000 I lived alone in a small cabin on the outskirts of Duncan. The night of my sighting was perfectly clear with no moon.

I went outside near midnight for a cigarette before going to bed. As I often do when outside on a clear night, I scanned the sky to see if I could spot a satellite crossing overhead. I didn't have to wait long until I saw what I thought was a satellite.

I saw a single point of light which appeared identical in colour and movement to a satellite. It was moving in a straight line from the north west and tracking south east roughly, with speed typical of a satellite. I continued to watch it as it drifted almost directly over my head when it started to slow down. The object came to a slow stop in the sky just above Orion's Belt. As soon as it stopped moving I lost sight of it among the vast sky of stars out that night. I scanned the sky trying to find it, thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me as satellites cannot stop their orbits, but could not see anything moving. I returned my gaze to Orion's Belt and waited. After a minute or so I saw the object moving again, this time starting a slow moving arc and doing a 180 degree course reversal before stopping again, this time under Orion's Belt. A short time later it again started moving in another 180 degree arc back to it's original track, then it stopped again. These 2 arcs made an "S" kind of track in the sky. When it moved again it was in a straight line through this "S" course is had just made and came to a sudden stop near when it had stopped the first time.

It didn't move again for a few minutes after that, then suddenly it began to glow brighter and brighter in the sky. After a few seconds it was easily the brightest "star" in the sky. Just a single bright point of white light. Then it burst across the sky in an instant, going from a dead stop to a phenomenal speed to a dead stop again, resting just on the north horizon and hard to see. There was no sound, and no tail on it like a comet or shooting star. A moment later it again grew brighter and brighter and again was the brightest light in the sky. And again in a huge burst of speed it crossed the sky from horizon to horizon from a dead stop to a dead stop. The time it took to cross this distance was a single second at the most. Again, no tail or tracer from it and no sound. Just terrifying speed. Now it was resting on the south horizon and hard to see. It once again began to glow brighter and brighter, this time brighter than the previous 2 times. Then it just vanished. One second it was there, then next it wasn't.

29-Sep-2011, Terrace, BC: (00:45 am)

On sept 29 2011 I was out side of my house . Noticed it slightly windy and not raining cloudy and some what clear the stars were out. Despite the weather forecast. I notice to objects bright and traveling at high rate of speed side by side headed from the east to the west parallel to the Skeena River . They both seemed to stop and go still traveling at the high rate speed. One would go forward then wait for the other to catch up and then let go ahead. The last visible bright orbs then changed direction at 90 degrees for few turns they both seem to maneuver some incredible aerial feats swirling then bck to straight parallel lines of formation. Then they were gone out of my site, I actually ran out onto my  lawn in bck yard to catch there amazing abilities in the skies . I never have  seen something so amazing and still am excited about it, and cannot explain it. Sorry no pics just a random chance to see something that is to me somewhat of mystery. The time was around 1245  at night.  sincerly Sam Baca.  I know for sure they were not of this earth and some sorta UFO.

20-Oct-2011, Kelowna, BC: (7:40 pm)

Saw 4 different flying objects within 15 mins, the first went across the sky as no plane could possibly move then disappeared then the second appeared while it was in sight. The third one appeared, then the second vanished, the third went a bit further then disappeared, then the fourth on, which was the brightest one was there all alone i thought it was a close star started slowly at first moving across the sky then it dissipated away. All of them were a different brightness and in different locations in the sky and were definately not planes or sattelites!

28-Oct-2011, Dawson City, YK: (10:30 pm - 10:45 pm)

A school dance was taking place and my son had just called me at 10:30 pm to pick him up. He would have walked home but he noticed a different light in the sky. At first he thought it was a satelite, but it was moving in too many different directions. Once I picked him up, I decided to take a little ride around town, seeing that I had to pick up my ***** at the dance in a half hour. I started to drive towards the Tr'ondek Subdivision, then my son, said "Mom, there's something in the sky, look (pointing it out to me), it's been there since I called you, but I first noticed it at the towers in the hills, around the red lights." It was a perfect circle form, and at first I thought it was a star, until it moved to align above the highway, then it started to pulsate, which then became larger, changed colours, in a form of a gas substance, not changing from green, red, to blue, it was a mist of colours forming around in a cloudy clear colour substance, then the size decreased, disappeared and re-appeared, then it was gone.  We looked at each other, Whoa, what is that? We did not feel scared, but more mesmerized of the object and curious to know if anyone else had seen this in the sky that night too.

29-Oct-2011, Surrey, BC: (10:50 pm)

From my second floor balcony on 102 Avenue in Surrey, I witnessed an octagonal object with alternating green and red lights pretty much due north of my position. The object appeared to be traveling in an eastward direction.  At first I thought the object was a plane or other aircraft however, it stopped and hovered then switched directions of travel, appearing to fly north away from my position. At that point I was a little more suspicious of it and continued to watch it. The craft then appeared to slowly descend in altitude and I then lost sight of the object for a short time.

Approximately 5-7 min later I noticed a red blinking light appear from the same area. Again I thought this object could be an aircraft, however suddenly, the object gained extreme speed and took off on an upward ascending angle faster than jet speed ans was gone.

Late August 1995 or 1996, Lakelse Lake, BC:

So we 5 guys were in my small Izuzu car travelling from Lakelse Lake back to Terrace a bit after dark. It was a dark and gloomy night after a very hot summer, drizzly and nasty. We (I) decided to take the old road back to Terrace because we had beer in the car and the drinking age was then 21, an age that we had not attained. We were traveling at a probably sedate speed of 50MPH on the old road that had originally bypassed a slide that went into the lake a few years before. Basically a straight stretch with a rise to the right  with a power line above it and a bit of a chasm on the left. The power line was a recent addition to eliminate the diesel electric plant in Terrace much prior to the Provincial grid. So then the car lights and all electronics went dead. We were blind. It was pitch black. My buddy in the front passenger seat prospected for Canada by opening his door and we knew we were on the road when we heard the door hitting the side of the road. We were lucky to stop the car an 'runaway lane' just after  the road turned to the left and went down and around. So there we were kinda suprised to be alive but not to be scared shitless. So we got out of the car and may have had a beer (surely a leak) and started to talk about how in the name of God could a brand new battery and a nalternator get trashed in the same instant. Well we knew it had but didn't understand. I had a Zippo lighter and we found enough metal and tools to first short out the battery and second disconnet it and short it out again in the case that the first short faulted because of some other short. No spark. Bugger all. Dead chemical battery. So we put it all together and tried again. No go. What the F? So like all lads before and after us we started to walk down the road we had just come up. After a little bit I (we) noticed red orange lights that appeared to flutter up and down the power pylons. My first thought was fire but retrospectivley I think the flash may have been 60 cycle oscillations. So madness probably prevailed. We ran up the hill to check it out. It worked out pretty well I think. I think I have memory of looking down at something under a power pylon and a line that was humming. To be honest I do not remember anything cohesively from the time we left the road to climb until I was, what do you call it, removed from the scene at about 3 feet above the windfalls. Myfirst thought, and still with me, was I'm gonna break a fuckin leg. Anyway for whatever reason we were all I guess levitated down to the road from where we all walked to the highway. Three hitched to Terrace and two of us walked to the lake. I had not mentioned that the electrical grid was out. But when we were returned to the car some time later the grid was up and the lights and radio were on in the car. The beer was a bit warm though. Jim

7-Nov-2011, Abbotsford, BC: (1:30 am)

Driving home from Vancouver and upon passing through the Abbotsford-Mission Hwy around 1:30 am (heading into Mission) I saw a disc-shaped UFO to the left of me. I had rolled my window down to get some fresh air and in the corner of my eye saw this object. The UFO had zero lights on it no identifying lights like you would see from a plane, helicopter or a lantern. The only reason I think I saw this object was, because it flew over the green house which illuminated the object from below. It perhaps was flying along the low cloud cover we had that night, because I did not see the UFO until it flew into the green houses light. When my girlfriend tried to look it at after it had passed over the freeway, and I presumed it was heading east but when she tried to look out her window she could not see or locate it . Nor could I see it when I pulled the car over....it was gone.

3-Nov-2011, Gibsons, BC: (9:45 am)

As I pulled into work a bright light caught my eye. I looked up and there was a silver orb about 10-15 thousand feet over Mount Elphinstone. At first I shrugged it off as nothing, maybe a helicopter or a strange balloon. It wasn't until I noticed that it wasn't moving and that the light coming off of it was pulsing at a consistent rate, that it really peaked my interest.

At that point I was like, what the hell is this thing, and began calling my co-workers over to observe it. As we watched it just sitting up there, we were all trying to come up with ideas to what the object was. We couldn't come up with anything, and just kept watching it sitting there and strobing.

Then after a few minutes, the object began to move. It only traveled in one direction, directly east of where it originally was sitting. It was strange, it kept strobing its very bright light right at us no matter where it was in the sky. It eventually went so far over the coastal mountains past Lions Bay, that we could no longer see the object with the naked eye, but we could still see the stobing light. Then it was just gone, light and all.

I factored in everything I could think of: wind direction, weather, time of day, and the fact that we live under a flying pattern for the Vancouver Airport.  But nothing seemed to make any sense, the object was moving against the wind direction, there were jets flying overhead (and it wasn't one of them), it was clear and sunny so visibility was great, and it moved about 50 kilometers to the east in about 5 minutes. This thing didn't seem to fit in anywhere where there could have been a logical explanation for it.

It didn't have any visible engines, it didn't make any noise (that we could tell). I like to stay pretty open minded about stuff, but I can't sit here and say I saw an alien space craft (although I'm hoping it was!!).  It could have been anything, but one thing for sure is that it was the strangest thing my self or my onlooking co-workers have ever seen in the sky.

20-Nov-2011, North Vancouver, BC: (2:00 am)

Bright red light that looked like mars, thought it was. We were all drawn to this light...it was like a red star. As soon as it was there, it was gone. I can't explain what we saw, so strange. It was so bright and then it just disappeared. I really want to know if anyone else saw what we saw. The girl that we were with works for an airline and she saw that it was something unusual.

Early August 2011, Mission, BC:

My girlfriend and I were at the Stave Lake dam in Ruskin BC early August. Totally clear day, I noticed an object in the sky that appeared to be  hovering and moving very slowly. I pointed it out to my girlfriend and we watched it for ten to fifteen minutes as it  basically drifted across the sky till it was out of sight  beyond the horizon tree line. It seemed like it would get brighter and dimmer sporadically, at times almost disappear then flare up again. It definitely wasn't a helicopter or plane, too high for a balloon. It moved so slowly that until we noticed its position in relation to the horizon you almost couldn't tell that it was moving. After it was gone there were several light aircraft circling the vicinity in the sky where the object had been. Ive never seen anything like it. It appeared possibly  orb shaped but hard to tell as it was high up.

28-Nov-2011, Roberts Creek, BC:

Was a round ball shape which made the horizon purple streaked as it went from east to northwest. It moved slowly and steadily across the sky and the surrounding area turned purple as it went..

Fall 2010, Ashcroft, BC: (11:00 pm)

Wife and I were taking our evening walk at around 11:00 pm when I noticed a round object coming towards us in the sky. It went over us and headed over the mountains. It was the size of a football field that we could judge from the height it was over us. The center was filled with blueish green lights and the outer surrounding area was illuminated with very bright lights. The amazing thing about this object was that it was very silent. Not a sound came from it as it passed over our heads and continued onward over the mountains. It was an amazing sight to see. We just stood in amazement and watched it go past us. It was definately NO airplane or anything from this day and age. We have seen several UFOs in the skies overhead in this area in the past year .

30-Nov-2011, Vancouver, BC: (00:01 am)

First I saw a bright orange light hovering across the sky without any noise (usually jets or helicopters I can detect from same distance). I thought that looked odd. I always see planes/helicopters around this area but none as a bright and such a nice orange light. I picked up my 10x50 binoculars and as I suspected that was no plane. It was a glowing sphere.

After the first orange light wasnt visible since it was out of view behind another building, 3 more popped up in a triangular formation coming from the same direction as the original one.

At first all 3 were in a perfect equilateral triangular formation, then one of them began acceleration forming almost a 90 degree angle triangle formation.

All 4 lights never made it across the other side of the buildings view. I took a video with my Canon digicam which turned out terrible because of the low light, but the 3 lights can be somewhat seen.

22-Apr-2011, Abbotsford, BC: (10:00 pm)

I saw something  in Abbotsford, BC on April 22nd of 2011. We were outside at about 10 pm on a clear evening, I caught movement in the sky and locked in on an object that was traveling from west to east, semi-domed on the forward moving side with flat bottom and kind of a distended triangular shape, the object appeared to be highlighted on the edges, I thought it was catching some of the suns rays over the horizon. It may have been that it had its own lighting. My UFO was travelling west to east and totally silent with no deviation from its flight path. It moved thru about a third of my field of vision in about 5 seconds. I lost its path when it went behind a large tree and saw it again for a brief second on the other side before losing it completely. There's a chance it was traveling in a large arc.

I was searching for some kind of Abbotsford airport radar anomaly listing when I found this site. I found the description of a triangular UFO near Burnaby that was witnessed at about the same time and felt I had to contribute my experience.

5-Dec-2011, North Delta, BC: (11:00 pm)

I've been seeing the same group of very bright green & sometimes blue lights. I live in North Delta up on a hill from Burns Bog & I see them while out for a smoke. I just saw them again 5 minutes ago. I tilted my head back all the way to stretch my neck to see this amazing display at 12:00 high just to the south. Whenever I've seen them they're in the same general area.

During the 1st sighting, there were about 6 green'ish objects forming either a rectangle or various other shapes surrounding 1 object in the center. These were REALLY high up, as high as satellites I think (2x  higher than the Moon, Venus or the Big Dipper), yet seemed so close probably from their intense glow. It's strange because though this was Waaaay up, I could see clearly because they became brighter when in motion and maybe light explosions of some sort caused more brightness.

I've seen them 3 times in the last month on perfectly clear nights. I've used binoculars too. That convinced me these were "UFOs". I used the Moon, Venus and even a close star near the light cluster as reference points and the cluster moved randomly with precision like a laser pointer from left to right, up & down quickly. The center one seemed to always start moving 1st, then the surrounding 6 - 10(tonite) lights would move in unison keeping the same distance while surrounding the center light at all times.

I couldn't figure out if the lone central green object was the leader who initiates the movement and has the outside lights follow immediately at an equal distance OR if it was the enemy confined to the rectangle, triangle or circle, so when it started to take off in a direction, the others quickly followed & kept their same shape of confinement each time.

Also, last night I had a similar but quite different sighting. They were moving very slowly compared to the stratospheric lights I just mentioned. Oddly, they were as low as a plane over the Cloverdale / Langley area towards Mount Baker, Wa. The 4 or 5 red lights were equi-distant to each other like a stick moving horizontally back & forth. Never seen aircraft with that kind of lighting & no other lights at the front or back. It dropped like a stone, levelled out then accelerated away and the lights disappeared.

My mind is blown away. I'd bet my house that I saw UFO activity.

12-Dec-2011, Langley, BC: (7:30 - 8:00 pm)

2 or 3 years ago me and my work partner were driving home to Aldergrove after working a long day 12-14 hours. After we got off the freeway at 264th we took the back road into aldergrove which runs parallel to the navy base there. I was half asleep and I assumed my friend was sleeping when there was a sudden dense fog for about 25-30 yards long along the road near 272nd Street and 43rd Avenue. It was mid July and warm so I thought it was odd and then before I could think twice about it a bright blue streak flashed down from left to right over the road in front of us. I thought to myself what the hell and as I was telling myself I was seeing things after working long hours, my friend said in a shaky voice "dude did you just f*cking see that?". Instantly I had shivers thinking about what it was. We both agreed that it was too close and bright to have been a shooting star as it seemed only a couple hundred feet above ground at the lowest point of the arc and it moved way way too fast to be any aircraft. It was just there and shot towards the ground but didnt seem to make it all the way to the ground, then disappeared. We've both seen meteors, shooting stars, satellites, etc and both of us are still adament thats not what we saw. Past couple years we've joked about it and told the story over the campfire but it really freaked us out at the time and so on monday december 12, 2011, we were again driving home from work heading east on highway 1 just about to descend the small hill on the freeway down to the 232nd st exit when we saw the same flash of blue light up and to the right. We agree it looks the same as what we saw a few years ago just we were farther away this time. We can't be certain and are probably clutching at straws but if we were to guess, we'd say it was more or less in the same area over Aldergrove. I should also mention that there was a 3 quarter or so moon and a very slight hazy cloud cover, we looked and we couldnt see many stars and the ones we did see were very faint. Once again, just all of a sudden, a bright streak of blue light that appears and streaks towards the ground and disappears before it reaches it. Could it have been some sort of sound wave or something from the naval communication base (its a skeleton crew manning the base now but is used to communicate with all pacific defence centres for the canadian forces. its remote controlled from CFB esquimalt)? I'm not a firm believer in any paranormal stuff really but it's kind of interesting to think of the possibility that "something" is out there. Anyways get back to me if you have any idea what we might've seen because we definately saw it.

15-Dec-2011, Fort Nelson/Snake River area, BC: (5:30 pm)

Working at a gas plant in the described area, me and a fellow worker were laying on our backs looking at the sky when we both saw what we thought was a shooting star. But then it was too big to be one. And shooting stars do not zig zag and go different speeds. This object appeared through the clouds in the east zipped directly overtop of us, slowed down, then shot in a zig zag direction toward the west. It was pretty bright and high up in the sky.

July 2011, Port Coquitlam, BC:

I was standing on my porch in Port Coquitlam when 2 orange lights caught my eye. They were hovering and moving from side to side and up and down. I'm sorry I forgot to mention I saw these light over the Grouse Mountain ski area from a far distance. There is much more I saw but it seems so unreal.

Nov 2011 - 17-Dec 2011, North Delta, BC:

I have been seeing greenish dots (objects) high in the sky to the south/southwest of North Delta (Vancouver suburb) every night over the past 2 months. First time I saw them, a single object was surrounded like a cluster by approximately 5-10 identical green objects. It looked as though the centre one either controlled the outside ones or it was being contained by them. The reason I say this is because whenever the centre one initiates movement, the surrounding ones would instantly follow the centre one in formation.

These objects appear to be 3-5 times higher than the moon. I'm talking outer space where satellites are. Oddly enough, I can see them on clear AND cloudy nights. I can't see the moon, Venus or the big dipper on cloudy nights, but see them clear as a bell on clear nights. How am I able to see something that high, yet can't see constellations much closer to me? NO IDEA.

Unlike the first time I saw them, they have been moving greater distances & are increasing in numbers. This week I saw more clusters of lights around a centre one. The surrounding lights dim & re-appear once the centre one moves. These things move 100 times faster than a jet, because lately one object will split from the group & race across the sky in a matter of seconds. Planes at 30,00 feet take 10-15 minutes to cross the sky over the Lower Mainland.

These objects move with the precision of a randomly moving laser pointer or waterbugs and a speed just slower than a falling star. They move in every direction; up, down, side to side, and can turn on a dime. They seemed to have multiplied in numbers by about 10 times since my first sighting 2 months ago. They're always in the same part of the sky, whether 6pm or 1am, which is odd because the Earth rotates thousands of miles an hour.

Ironically, meteor showers were to be close to earth this past week, which is when the objects started moving further around and in larger numbers. When I track one on a cloudy night, I'll see them move around and when they pass behind thicker clouds, the clouds illuminate brightly showing their path.

I've reported this to some people but moreover I can't believe these aren't in the news. I think it's time to call the newspapers and tv. I posted here a while ago when I first saw them, but it's not posted here since u haven't updated recently.

All I can say is I know they're NOT human made aircraft, they're visible by the naked eye and all anybody has to do is look straight up to the south/southwest and you'll see the same wild shit I've been seeing. I've been video taping on my digital camera but it hasn't been clear enough to see. Once the sky clears & I tape them, watch for the clips on YouTube.

Let's hope they're here for good & not evil.

I went to the store at 5pm and noticed a bright orb-like object in the sky with strobing colors. I pulled over to take a closer look at it. Blue, red, white. Its dimensions seemed to change, or the intensity of the light anyway on certain sides. I live in Westsyde in Kamloops and I was parked on Bank Road right by Coopers, it was towards town. I watched it for about 15 minutes, it moved very slowly, possibly at the same rate as the earth was turning. I took a couple of video but all I had was my Android phone so the quality is very poor and I chose to watch it with my eyes mostly. http://youtube/eqDL_SIDHiE

On the night of December 21, 2011 about 10:45 pm, outside of our home in Coquitlam, my adult daughter was having a cigarette when she looked up at the sky and saw 2 red pulsating lights. The lights moved strangely and would fade and then reappear and quickly became 5 lights which continued to move strangely, unlike any plane or helicopter could do, and yet stayed in the same area of the sky the whole time. After awhile they merged together and faded away until there were only 2 lights left which also continued to dart around until they merged into one and disappeared. My daughter videotaped the spectacle with her camera for about 2 minutes and 15 seconds and we put it on the computer where we can play it in slow-mo and stop and go as we please. I had been in my bed when she called me from outside on her cell phone telling me to come outside quickly. Believe me when I say we are not whackos and neither of us were drinking or smoking anything other than my daughter smoking a cigarette. We have never seen such a sight in the sky before. This was at approximately 10:45 pm. It was NOT the new bridge being built to Surrey as it was not near there and was much higher in the sky. We wondered if anyone else had reported seeing this. If so, please let us know. Or, if there is a plausible explanation for this, we would also be interested in knowing this as well. Thank you.

Looking out to the south/west, from  commercial drive area, Vancouver. I was looking out of a window that was behind my computer, I saw a blinking light, very similar to a plain flashing light but brighter, but then I saw that there were no other lights, as a plane has a red flashing light and some others, here was only one bright light was was dimming higher and lower in a 6 second phase from one spectrum to the other.

The light stopped dead centre in the middle of the frame of the window that I was looking out, I would guess around 10km away from me. Before it stopped, it moved in a kind of a circular shape, slowly, before stopping at 12:17.

The moment I saw this movement I had a strange feeling come over me. The sky was clear, with vey few streaks of clouds, no clouds, nothing but I could not see any stars. I called my roommate whom would witness this with me, at 12:22, some streaks of clouds could be seen behind.

As we looked the light started to dim, until it looked completely gone, then it would become very bright again after 2 min or so. I tried to take a photo. After 30 min I finally got some shots that gave me an idea of the shape of the object, it was not circular it looked like a pill, capsule-shaped, this was not due to shaking.  

At 1:10 clouds covered the entire sky where there were no clouds before, they seemed to form on the exterior of the city and continue to form into the centre of the city.

The light moved lover in the frame of the window at that time, it seemed that the light was suspended in the air and as Earth was turning it seemed the light moved lower.

Further Witness Information:

Hi. Please discard the sighting that I reported on the 26th at 1am, I think it must have been the ISS. Even though this does not explain the flashing and the initial movement which I reported this is the most likely reason for  what I saw.

You may be, and are likely correct, but I will post it just the same (if OK with you) without your name of course, as it shows that mistakes do happen – sometimes a cigar is just a cigar :-)
Thanks none the less for reporting it! Happy New Year!

Dear friends and family..
These pics were taken during a hike at the outskirts of a small town called Rossland in British Columbia, not far from the US border. Pic 1030122 was taken near the end of our hike at 2:36pm on Boxing Day, Dec 26, 2011. My friend (who took the picture) and his two little boys slid down the steep little slope on a GT Snowracer, Autumn n I were gonna slide down n since I didn't have snowpants on, I slid down on my back, so that's me on the left with my legs in the air. After which we continued back to my friends house. No one noticed or heard anything unusual on our hike, even the dogs were undisturbed. We carried on with our day as normal. It wasn't till we sat down a few hours later and looked at the uploaded pics on Chad's laptop that I noticed the strange, yet familiar shaped object at the top of the shot, and yes, it is also on the original, on the camera. I know there are many ways to fake such a thing, so all I can say is, u have my word that neither I, nor my friend, nor anyone else, altered or constructed this photo to fool anyone. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about how or what it might be.

We zoomed in on it and fooled around with the brightness n contrast to try n discern more detail, but we didn't save those changes and otherwise left the picture unaltered. One unfortunate thing that happened is, I somehow lost a little border, at least on the topside when my friend sent these shots to my email, the original has a little more sky space above the object. He's gonna try n send it again from another program or something to try n negate that effect.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thanks for the photos. If you could send us the original photo and not one edited in Photoshop CS5, that would go a long way towards the credibility of the photo. After all the DMC-FX30 is a nice camera and will be able to store the jpeg without needing photoshop to retrieve or edit it.
I am to assume your friend has the silver or black model like the one below?

I dont have the one from camera but the one on my desktop is right off there. It was a work camera that had to be signed back.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thanks, but I will still require the originals – no resizing or altering in any way (a direct copy off the data card of the camera – should be a few megabytes in size, not 174KB), without it, other than a nice photos of two dogs in a snowfield I cannot say much else.
Thank-you,
Richard

Witness Responds:

Is there any way that a deleted photo can be restored from a data card in camera. The camera was one that belonged to my work and had to be returned after Christmas. The photo was deleted off the memory card with all the rest. I have the one I sent you along with the others that got downloaded to my desktop. A friend of mine added Shrink pic to my computer which apparently makes it easier to send photos. My mom has dial up (out in the boonies manitoba) and it took her too long to download pictures we had been sending. Camera was a Panasonic FX30. Card is a SDHC Scandisk 8G. Thanks for your reply.

UFO*BC Responds:

There are some ways to do it, but it isn’t something that can be easily relayed over email. The main problem that I have with the photos is that the original ones were clearly edited with Photoshop, and the second set were sent without any information, and thus clearly edited as well – if only by shrinking them. However from a forensic standpoint, any such alterations means that the photos are useless as “proof” – no difference than saying “well it was changed but not really too much”.

With any claims of a clear UFO daylight picture, they require rigorous scrutiny, and unfortunately if there are no originals, just edited photos … well, I am afraid that one’s word simply isn’t enough. There is far too much hoaxing and fabrication these days, so without originals these must be placed in the ‘tampered’ bin – as they HAVE been, knowing to what extent isn’t possible.

I appreciate the correspondence, and hopefully you do find your deleted photos.

30-Dec-2011, Mission, BC:

I was watching a movie with a friend. After the movie I went outside on my deck to have a cigarette. My deck faces north, towards the mountains. I light my cigarette and noticed two bright orange lights to the left of me, west in the sky. If I was to guess, I would say 500 to 1000 feet in the sky, below cloud level. At first I though they were to jet fighters as what I saw looked like two, separate afterburners and were turning at a speed and ratio only a fighter jet could. I quickly realized they were not jet fighters as they were coming towards me, moving east and there was no sound at all. I would not see the afterburners if they were flying towards me. I opened the door and called my friend to come out and see. They moved like a snake in the sky following one another. By the time they got in line with my house they were starting to get smaller. I noticed the reason they were getting smaller was they were quickly ascending. I could tell this as you seen them go up, through the clouds and out the other side. They ascended while still moving through the sky like a snake and with no sound at all, and then they were gone. This all lasted maybe one and a half minutes or less. There ascending time from when I noticed them getting smaller until they disappeared was about 20 seconds max. Very fast and had to be twice the height a commercial plane fly's at by the time they were gone. About a minute or two later a commercial plane flew over the house moving west to east on the south side of the house. It was a lot higher in the sky, moved a lot slower and could definitely be heard. I can't say what it was I saw as all you could see was the fire like sphere. I do know I have not seen any man made plane fly like this, I attend the Air Show every year. A remote controlled device could not be possible do to the land mass it covered from east to west and the height in which it went. You do not get that range from a remote control device. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I hope I see something like that again!

5-Jan-2012, Gabriola Island, BC:

On our way to Gabriola from Nanaimo (by ferry) we noticed what we thought was an aircraft that seemed to be flying slowly towards and over Gabriola Island. It appeared to have a large white light on each side and two flashing coloured lights at the front and back. Because I thought it was a plane I wasn't paying a great deal of attention to it, just idly watching it while I spoke with my friend. But then it suddenly just disappeared. The time was 10:35 pm. We both sat straight up when it disappeared and tried scanning the sky to find it, but it was not in sight.

When the ferry landed we disembarked and starting driving down North Road. We just passed the elementary school when just above us at what appeared to be tree top level we were almost blinded by two white lights and four flashing lights. Whatever the air craft was, it sat there for just a moment and then moved away at a high speed flying south east. We did not hear any noise coming from the craft.

The distance between the white lights was about the width of the road (40-60 feet).

I took my dog outside to a nearby field and let him off his leash. I went to sit on a bench when I noticed a massive white light in the sky. I just stood there staring at it at first wondering what it was because it wasn't moving. As small as a star looks, this light was 100 times bigger. It wasn't a plane because I see planes at night all the time and I know what they look like and I have never seen a plane with that big of a light - ever! I thought that maybe it was a helicopter hovering but it was way too high to be that. After watching the light for about 2 minutes I saw another light moving toward it from the right. I thought that's a plane for sure and I wondered if the pilot could see it. Then all of a sudden that light stopped moving too. It was hovering right beside the bright white light. It had 3 lights and it just hovered. It was surreal and I had a strange feeling that I was looking at something that wasn't from earth. I called my dog over to me to leash him because I was kind of scared. I bent to leash him and when I glanced back up the lights were gone.  Nowhere in sight. I know these weren't planes. Did anyone else see these lights and if you did can you explain what it was I was looking at?

Was walking home after work with my fiance when suddenly on a picture clear night the sky started flashing. It looked to us as if sheet lightning was lighting up the sky. But it was a clear night. Suddenly we looked and saw this bright light tail off then dissapear to the northwest. What makes it odd is that we didnt even have to look around for where it was. Our minds just automatically knew. After seeing this thing, we felt really funny and it seemed that our minds couldn't process a single thing. Conversations were spurred randomly and we couldnt even stay on topic. To top that off both of our ears were burning like someone was putting a lighter to them, and things were creepy during the walk. It didn't feel safe out there and all the animals were quiet for about 45 minutes after we saw this happen.

Things have now gotten back to normal now. Does anyone know what this could be???

On Nov 29/30 (midnight), 2011, my husband & I were walking into our yard coming from a party. He was still on the sidewalk and said "Do you see this?"  I looked up, walking back to the sidewalk. There were 4 bright orange lights in the sky, in a defined "formation" (almost like NESW) By the time I saw them the far left (No 4) was just breaking formation, while the others hovered motionless. I tried to find my camera in my purse but we could not take our eyes off them. We felt no fear, and were drawn to them. We felt they had "seen us". We were telling each other what we were seeing to ensure we both saw the same thing! Then suddenly we both realized there were only 2 in the sky, from 4. We never saw the others leave or "blink out"...they were just...gone, only 2 left. At this point, No. 4 started to fly away, like a plane, not overly fast, but steady. You could see it getting smaller and fading, but the third blinked out. We saw it "blink away". Although the night was cloudy, it was not cloudy enough to black out such a bright light.  I paid close attention to that as I thought it might be an explanation of where the first two went, but no way. In all we saw them for about a minute. I took a photo but nothing came through, it was too late so the final one was too far away. A few days later, still stunned, we both drew pictures of the formation to compare what we saw, without showing each other till complete.  They were pretty much identical. The only difference in his perception was that they were between the houses across our street and slightly higher than them. My perception was they were higher. Not airplane high, but higher. I am far sighted and he is near sighted if that plays a part in our different perceptions, but other than that, our memories are identical. There was an article about orange lights on the blog that was very similar to what we saw. Does anyone have ANY idea what we may have seen????

Their is an article and Photo in the Cloverdale Reporter Newspaper of the unexplained lights in the sky, with possible UFO references. I watched them move across the sky at Christmas time, while driving home. I live near 170th and 60th Avenue. I parked my car, called my kids out to look because they were so pretty. We also watched them burn out. They were quite obviously lanterns. They launched more on New Years Eve, and we watched them too.

UFO*BC Responds:

Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty sure that there have been many, many reports of Chinese lanterns as UFOs. It is my understanding that New Year is a very popular time to launch these lanterns, but they are also can be launched pretty much any time of the year. It is thought that these lanterns do contribute to spikes in reported UFOs for this time of year.

We have had some reports that do suggest others are still mystified by them and are not familiar with the phenomena.

There was actually one video of lanterns posted as "UFOs" that was taken in Surrey last year.

It was just after 7 in the evening on Friday January 13th. I was at Rutherford Mall with my 2 daughters age 5 and 7. We were sitting outside the theater selling their fundraising bars when I walked about 20 feet away to have a smoke and give the younger one a snack. I looked up at the sky at the stars and when I looked towards the north end I saw this bright orangey/red ball of light. At first I thought it was a plane or helicoptor but then I noticed there was not another light on it and that this seemed like it was just a big ball of light like a flare or ball of fire. I watched it move south across the sky in a straight line and noticed I didnt hear any sound but I kept trying to figure it out so I called to my 7 year old and showed her and at 7:09 we watched it stop and vanish. I started typing it into my phone to remember the time and date when my 7 year old yelled "there is another one". I looked up to the north end again and there was a ball of light just the same as before. I watched it for a few seconds then reached for my phone and put the time in 7:12pm as I did this it had disappeared again so I finished typing and looked around the sky and sure enough from the north appeared another one at 7:15pm. Now all 3 seemed to appear from nowhere and then disappear just as fast not really fading slowly but a bit then it was gone. It was so bright and orange I could not explain it wish I knew if others had seen it too or if someone knew what it was.
I see things in the sky all the time but never like that.
