UFO Researcher Contacted By Airdrie And Area Residents

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Paul Wells

Echo Editor

While far from being Alberta's version of Area 51, a Canadian UFO investigator and researcher says Airdrie and area has been a veritable hotspot for reported sightings of late.

Brian Vike, director of HBCC UFO Research who has appeared on countless radio shows as a UFO expert, says he's received numerous calls on his toll-free UFO hotline reporting sightings of strange flying objects in the immediate area.

We have started receiving a number of telephone calls and e- mails from (Airdrie) area residents reporting many strange lights and objects in the night skies, Vike said.

I do know that (UFO sightings) is sometimes a very strange topic... but I honestly do look for rational explanations for such sightings, he added. Most times, I can offer an explanation of what the folks witnessed, but then I have many cases which also go unsolved.

According to Vike, there have been three reported sightings in the Airdrie area over the summer of 2003.

They are:

"July 30 - 11:50 p.m.: An Airdrie woman preparing to turn in for the night e-mailed the following to Vike: I noticed a bright blue object in the northwest sky. The object was pulsating a bright blue-white light and moved very slowly then stopped for about 10 seconds and then it vanished like the lights went out. I've lived in this area for 10 years and never had seen anything so strange. Thought I should report this to somebody.

"Aug. 23 - 11:23 p.m.: According to Vike, an Airdrie family reported watching a glowing orange coloured object shoot from east to west at a very low level.

From what I was told, this object travelled very low, then came to a sudden stop and stayed stationary for approximately 30 seconds. Then it shot almost straight up and slipped into four different objects which changed from orange to white. They sat stunned as all of the objects vanished into the night.

"Sept. 15 - 1:15 a.m.: The most recent sighting is the one which intrigues Vike the most, as the woman reporting it said she wasn't the only witness to the alleged event. As such, Vike is hopeful that others who may have shared the experience will also come forward.

While the witness was on her way to Calgary (on Highway 2, north of Airdrie), she saw an object at a low level which then shot up into the sky very quickly and then came to a complete stop.

The woman told Vike that she pulled her car over to watch the spectacle, as did other drivers.

There were two cars and two freight liners which also had pulled over, and in her rear view mirror she could see others doing the same, Vike said.

The woman told Vike that she initially thought the object was an aircraft departing from an airport, but then realized that was unlikely because she was not in proximity to such a facility.

She realized that there wasn't an airport in the area, he said. The object, when travelling up into the sky, made a sharp climb and once it arrived at a high altitude, it came to a complete stop and then shot toward the northwest and stopped again.

According to the witness, the craft emitted an extremely lustrous, bright light, moved side to side for a period and then started to flash.

The witness did contact RCMP to see if others had made a report about the sighting, but no one had come forward, Vike said.

As such, Vike is hopeful that by going public with the reported sightings, other potential witnesses will come forward.

Sometimes, we just have to inform the general public that there is someone out there investigating these sightings, Vike said. I know I can have an investigator on the scene really quick if I'm contacted.

Bright Light Filmed By Witness Over Westfield Road Runcorn Cheshire UK (Photo)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  January 27, 2011

Time:  Between 7:20 a.m. and 7:25 a.m.

I originally sent this earlier this morning on, but I have now been able to upload to picture from my phone. I could not attach the picture on Hotmail so I have had to send it through my work e mail, this time with spell check! This sighting took place between 7:20am and 7:25am on the 27th January 2011.

As I was walking down Westfield road, just level with Westfield crescent, I noticed a bright light in the sky like a plane coming in to land from the direction of Liverpool airport. The light just seemed to hover, but I know from watching planes coming in to land that on certain angles they can give this impression. I kept watching for a couple of minutes and the light stayed where it was. I moved closer to a telegraph pole to use this as a point of reference as to whether the light was moving.

The light then slowly moved to my right, hovered, and then went from my view behind a rooftop.

Westfield road is quite elevated me giving a good view of Liverpool and Wales, so I judged this to be coming down somewhere near or on the river Mersey. I managed to rule out a plane landing at the air port, leaving just the possibility of it being a helicopter.

Now there was not a sound in the sky and the light beamed forward towards me and not down for the five minutes in which i watched it, leaving me to believe it wasn’t a police helicopter either.

This is the 3rd time I have seen this light at the same point over the last 6 months, which is why I gave it my full attention. I took a photo on my camera phone the 2nd time which was taken in daylight. When I adjusted the light settings on the phone it showed a black ball inside the light.

I managed to take a photo of this sighing with my new camera phone which was much, much clearer and fully shows the large bright ball of light over the houses. Once I work out how to upload the picture onto my laptop (hopefully this weekend) I will e mail it to you so you can take a look at it. Hopefully you can adjust it to work out what it is.

Very odd to see this three times in the same place doing the same things each time in silence. There is a large chimney being built (The Incinerator) which was to my left which workmen on the top would have had a perfect view of the light if they were on top at that time. Regards.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at houstonbri7@gmail.com with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Witnesses Pursued On Foot By Orange UFOs Down The Road At Corbeil Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  2003-2006

Time:  Between 9:00 p.m. – Midnight.

Number of witnesses: 2 – 3

Number of Objects: 1 – 2

Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: For those few years I was living in Corbiel, and would often go home during the same time. Out there at that time things are really quiet and the sky is nice and bright and full of stars.

It wasn't an incident that would happen daily, but sometimes within the same month and several times each year. While just outside of Corbiel on highway 94 I would see deep orange glowing orbs just seemingly above the church on the hill in Corbiel.

At first I didn’t mention anything to the others in the car, it wasn’t until the third or fourth time that they had mentioned it to me. The orbs seemed to be just above the tree line, completely silent and making quick movements in all directions then become stationary again.

The final time in 2006 that I witnessed the orbs along with my friend at the time was in October of that year. There were two of the deep orange glowing orbs, once again above the church. We decided to investigate this time and we parked the car in the lot and got out.

We observed them there for roughly ten minutes when they started moving above the tree line down Tailfer Road. So we followed on foot down the road. They were moving at a pace slow enough for us to keep up almost like they wanted us to.

When we made it to the first hill on the road, one of the orbs took off further up the road and seemed to go into the bush and hover there in the distance. The second one came out onto the road and seemed to get smaller as it did.

It was about 20 feet above the road now and only about 40 feet in front of us. We were a little hesitant, yet decided to keep going. It was around 11:45 p.m. and very dark out there and silent.

We pursued it for another 5 minutes or so until it scared us. It was allowing us to follow it at a very slow pace and when it stopped and hovered, it looked as if it tried to get us to follow it into the bush. We turned and ran home.

We both had the feeling that it’s intentions were not of the good sort. The feeling was instantly wrong and frightful. Up to that point we were both in a kind of trance, calm and peaceful, then suddenly it’s as if we snapped back to reality and realized what we were doing.

I will never forget these events and the fear has always remained as fresh as it was that night. I haven’t told anyone in such great detail as to what happened that night and even my friend and I never spoke of it again to each other, so much as the next day as if it never happened.

I was reading your sighting of the orange orbs in North Bay and felt compelled to finally share my frightening experience. Thanks for being here to listen.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Family Struck By Beam Of Light At Westlake Louisiana (UFO Visitations)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1991 and onward.

Time:  Evenings.

Hi Vike. About the pulsating vibrating noise Kathy and her husband felt and heard over their home. My husband and I had a similar encounter back in 1991. We were living in Westlake, Louisiana at the time. With our school age children we were helping with their Astronomy classes by studying the moon with a telescope on just about every clear night we had.

We started noticing odd things like from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. We would see little balls of light leaving away from Venus or the Moon. Eventually one of these lights came close and flashed over us like a wave. Then started coming closer and closer until you could tell it was in our atmosphere.

Thank goodness the kids were already in bed. Getting scared we went inside and closed the curtains. The next night my husband and I woke about 2 am feeling and hearing this pulsating vibrating noise right over the house. Then nothing for about 13 years. Now during the last 3 years out here in the country where we live now things are happening again.

I think what we did had a lot to do with this activity returning. About 7 years ago we bought some land deep in the country of Iowa La. I mean we are in the sticks beyond the sticks. Anyway we were camping while clearing some of the property to put a home on it about 5 years ago.

While laying in the long grass with our three youngest children star gazing. We all started seeing these lights moving about among the stars. One night we seen one in our atmosphere fairly close. We were like wow, a UFO.

My youngest took his flash light and started flashing triangles, squares, and etc. at it as we started to go inside a huge tent we had set-up to stay in while we camped and worked. Right as we started to enter, this light suddenly got huge and flashed on us all standing there holding us in it's beam for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Needless to say it scared the kids half to death. We quickly went into the tent and settled down for the night. We went home the next day. We have been living in our home here now for 4 years and are visited regularly every summer. It starts with a bright light that penetrates the house. It will travel from one end to the other.

This usually happens when we are all in bed. A few of us have been awake to see it. I don't know if anything is ever done to us because I don't remember, but 2 of my children and myself will get nose bleeds, and have had weird marks on our legs, arms, and the back of our necks at different times over the last few years. Come July I will know if it will start again. Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for sending in this fascinating but frightening experience these folks are going through.

Abducted And Taken Aboard A UFO By Tall Alien Figure At Brantford Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  May - June 2006

Time:  Very late night.

Location of Sighting: Bedroom window.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: N/A
Shape of objects: Not known.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was in a full sleep one night when I suddenly woken up by my baby's monitor and heard strange sounds. They were various clicking sounds that just gave me the chills. I am a light sleeper and wanted to check on my baby. At the same time I immediately heard an overwhelming sound right outside my bedroom window, it sounded like the engine of a transport truck with wheels turning (that's the best I can describe)

My husband at the same time started to look like his body was going into some uncontrollable shaking/convulsion and he was in a full deep sleep. I felt like there was someone in the room with me, and I wanted to get out of bed to check on my baby. 

I was prevented from getting out of bed by an unseen force and thoughts of not entering my child's room were in my mind and very overwhelming. I was very frightened, but remained calm as I managed to wake up my husband and told him of what had happened. We ended up talking about the incident, but by the time he woke up there were no more sounds that were evident. 

When I woke up that morning I realized one very important thing. I never actually checked on my baby and I clearly recalled actually getting out of bed. Another incident from that night. 

As I tried to get up and check on my baby a tall figure stood in the doorway and as I opened it we both flew up into the air (just like in Star Trek when you warp) It sounds silly, but I can't explain it any better. 

I do remember asking questions and telling this force that I will not resist, but I do need to see and will go willingly. This was all done through the thought process. I felt pressure for a brief second on my chest and stomach like on a roller coaster, and the rest is very unclear as everything turned very bright and luminescent.

I don't ever recall seeing and holding my baby that night. I do remember seeing another universe, and they looked like fireworks falling in the black sky at the time. When I realized they were all planets that I was passing by, I knew exactly what was happening to me. When I checked up on my son that morning he had very strange marks on his spine right above the crack of his bum. 

Since my husband went to the psychic 2 years ago and she confirmed that he has holes in his AURA, which means missing time she said, I am convinced that these creatures are targeting my whole family.  My daughter has told me that she doesn't want to go with the people at night with the car that come through the window.  I know this is happening but I can't make it stop.  I have had no incidents that I can fully recall for almost a year now, but I know it is not over.

Thank you to the witness for their report. Hoping to speak to the person over these events soon.

Classic Shaped Saucer Followed By F16’s Jet Fighters Arab Alabama

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Approximately 2003 (?)

Time:  Approximately 2:00 p.m.

Another sighting that is of great interest to me occurred over my home town 3 years ago witnessed by my good friend.

He was downtown Arab, Alabama on main street outside talking with a couple of friends. It was a bright sunny day around 2:00 p.m. central with few clouds and great visibility.

Suddenly a brilliant classic shaped saucer object that my friend described as a brilliant polished metal gray came into view from the south at a low altitude (his guess was around 2,000 feet).

He said that it was headed north at an unbelievable rate of speed and traversed approximately 180 degrees of the sky in 2 or three seconds. His friends saw it also.

They stood there dumbfounded questioning what they had just seen when about 45-60 seconds later two F16s came screaming past at just under supersonic headed in the flight path of the object.

No news of anything unusual was seen or heard on the news or papers.

Thank you to the person for passing along the information.

Disk Shaped UFO And House Shrouded By Fog New Plymouth Taranaki New Zealand (Audio Interview)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Brian Vike did a telephone interview with the witness and the audio interview link is below.

Disk Shaped UFO And House Shrouded By Fog New Plymouth Taranaki New Zealand telephone interview: https://jmp.sh/judwL78

Date: Year 1984 or 1985. Time: Evening.

Year 1984 or 1985. The sighting was a long time ago, but I know it was reported in the local New Plymouth newspaper.

Approach Direction: Came from many directions high in the sky. Departure Direction: Vanished at close range (approximately 100 meters). Witness Direction: Southwest.

Description: I and a friend (who I have lost contact with) were waiting at the side of the road, approximately 1 hour north of New Plymouth (we had a motor cycle puncture, other friends had gone to get help). As the light faded and the night grew dark, we notice an intense white spot moving across the sky. 

Over a period of about one hour, the spot move in a number of direction high in the sky. At times the light spot would move slowly and speed up into a blur and vanish.

At some point, I had this strange feeling, I looked up at a house behind me that was located on a hill abut 100 meters away. The house was shrouded by fog and above the house hovered a large disk of light. 

There was no sound, but a white cone type beam (wide at the top, narrow at the bottom)was scanning the roof of the house. I looked back at my friend and asked him if he saw the same thing and he seemed very scared. I looked back at the house and the object has disappeared. In the local newspaper (I can't remember which one) the next day, many people reported sighting the object. 

To this day, I can't rationalize what I experienced. At the time of the sighting I was living in New Zealand working on the Maui offshore gas rig. I now live in Long Beach/Los Angeles, California, and work for the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal. EPA). 

I would like to hear from people and find out more information on what happened on that night. I have never forgotten the experience, and to this day I believe what I saw was real and not man made. Any further information would be greatly received.

Color/Shape: White, round, cone shaped beam of light coming out of center.

Height & Speed: very high to 50 meters off ground. Acceleration was very fast. Object became a blur on a number of occasions.

TV/Radio/Press: I did not report the incident, but I know it was reported in the local Taranaki newspapers. I can't remember exactly, but it was either 1984 or 85?

Thank you to UFOINFO for this report. http://www.ufoinfo.com/

Thank you to Mr. John Hayes for sending along the report for me to follow up.

Brian Vike did a follow up with the eyewitness, Tim by way of telephone interview.

2001 Crop Circle's In Vanderhoof British Columbia Investigated By Brian Vike

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

On the evening of September 6th, 2001. Brent Miskuski owner of Central Air Corp. was flying home from the Vanderhoof, airport where I had noticed a formation of crop circles. The site is located approxamtlty 3 miles east from the threshold of runway 25 at the Vanderhoof airport.


The above photo is copyright to Mr. Brent Miskuski.

 Late afternoon on Friday, September 7, 2001 I had an email from Jennifer Crosby, reporter for Northern Television asking if I had heard of a new formation of Crop Circles in the Vanderhoof, British Columbia area. I told her no, I had not, but if she would give me a little while I would be happy to check into this story to see if there was any truth to it or not.



The above photo is copyright to Mr. Brent Miskuski.

 After a few phone calls, I placed another call to the Prince George Citizen who informed me that indeed there was a report from a Mr. Brent Miskuski owner of Central Air Corp., he had spotted the formation of 6 circles in a field approxamtlty 5 Ks from the airport in a farmer field.

The above photo is copyright to Mr. Brent Miskuski.

I looked up the number for the small airport in Vanderhoof and made the call, Mr. Brent Miskuski answered the phone and I asked him if he may be able to help me. He was kind enough to supply me with the location of the circles, and how many there was in this formation. He also sent me 3 pictures that he took from an aircraft while flying over the Crop Circle formation.

I made arrangements and prepared to leave first thing Saturday morning, September 8, 2001. I arrived early in Vaderhoof at 9:10 AM, on Saturday 8, 2001 and made my first stop at a local variety store to pick up a couple of items, I mentioned to the store clerk if she had heard about the Crop Circles. 

She said she did, and went on to tell me about a foul, smoky odor her and her family noticed late the same evening the Crop Circles appeared. The smell was so bad that she got up and closed the bedroom window hoping to keep the unpleasant odor out where it belonged (outside). She also mentioned to me, she had no knowledge of any Crop Circles at the time of this foul smell.

(Investigator's Note) - This lady who complained about the foul odor lives in the same area the Crop Circle was discovered.

I continued on and stopped at another farm to ask for directions to the farmer who owns the land where the circles are located. I needed to get permission before entering his land. 

At this stop I talked with an elderly lady who was out tending her garden, I introduced myself, and went on to explain about the Crop Circles, and I pointed up the road with a short description of the area I wanted to investigate, to find out who was the owner. 

This pleasant lady told me the same story I just heard from another woman in town, about a foul, smoky type smell in the air the night the Crop Circles appeared. She believes they took note of the foul scent in the air just after Midnight. She also went on to tell me that she was discussing the bad odor with another friend who lives next door to her, this other lady claims she also smelled the same smoky foul smell.

This was from 3 separate witnesses who confirmed that there was a smoky type smell in the air on the early morning the Circles appeared. Now if this has anything to do with the circles, I don't know, but it is good to make a note of this.

 After talking to the elderly lady I continued up to the home of the farmer who leased the field where the Crop Circles were found to get permission to investigate. I talked to the man's wife and explained why I was there and if it would be ok to do my field work, she said there would be no problem and gave me permission. 

I also was holding a copy of the Prince George Citizen which had just come out the morning of September 8, 2001 showing one picture and telling about the circles in their field. She was so surprised to hear this news, she asked me if she could have the newspaper to show her husband when he got home, which I was glad to give her.

Back down the road about 4 miles or so I went to where I came to the field where the Crop Circles were located. After running around trying to find the location, and getting permission it was 12:00 (midday) when I first entered the field. (the crop circles could not be seen from the road).I followed along the edge of the grain field as not to destroy any of their crop. 

(Approxamtlty 600 feet) then swung into the center of the field to look for any signs of the circles. From this point I was able to look over the field as I was up on a very small elevation in the field, and there was nothing to see other than grain blowing in the wind. I figured I had walked to far, so I cut, heading back toward the truck from where I was now, to where I came upon the first Circle.

For my records I have named this one Mickey Mouse (The Crop Circle) as you will note from the picture. There is the main body (circle) for the head, and two smaller circles almost touching the main body (the head) which reminded me of ears, and of course Mickey Mouse.

In all of the Crop Circles the Grain was not broken, it was like if it was pushed hard to the ground. The bend in each of the stalks were bent a couple inches up the stalk from the ground.

The Grain in Mickey's Head - Circle Number # 1 Was bent clock wise right to the ground until it reached the center where the grain became over lapping. (swirled on top of each other)

The Grain in Mickey's Right Ear - Circle Number # 2 Was bent counter clock wise to the ground until it reached the center where the grain became over lapping. (swirled on top of each other)

The Grain in Mickey's Left Ear - Circle Number # 3 Was bent clock wise right to the ground until it reached the center where the grain became over lapping. (swirled on top of each other)

The Grain In Circle Number # 4 - Was bent counter clock wise to the ground until it reached the center where the grain became over lapping (swirled on top of each other)

The Grain In Circle Number # 5 - Was bent counter clock wise to the ground until it reached the center where the grain became over lapping. (swirled on top of each other)

The Grain In Circle Number # 6 - Was bent clock wise to the ground until it reached the center where the grain became over lapping. (swirled on top of each other)

 Note to Make By Investigator:

As seen from the aerial photo, there looked as if there may have been one person who walked into the circles prior to my arrival. There was a small path which lead to Circle Number # 1 but no other traces of anyone walking through the grain to Circle Number # 4. But I did not there was some braking in the stalks of the grain from Circle Number # 4 to Circle Number # 5. There was no other disturbance in any of the circles, and no more paths leading into or out of this area where the circles are located.

I also took notice of chunks of solid ground which looked as if it had been moved. There certainly wasn't much of this, but if you looked closely you could see where chunks of harder soil had been moved when the Crop Circles were created.

Grain Samples from each of the Crop Circles were taken, and bagged, also soil samples were taken as well from each of the circles. Other sample of each were taken from around the surrounding area for comparison. (Thanks to a buddy picking these up for me)

I also have taken pictures of the whole area, each of the circles and will have these developed Monday, September 10, 2001 and as soon as I pick them up I will scan these in and place them to my website, on this page.

Investigator's Note: This may, or may not be of importance, but I think it is worth mentioning with this report. Two weeks prior to this set of Crop Circles an article ran in the Vanderhoof Express Newspaper. The story was about people profiting on these sightings of Crop Circles, which turned out to be a hoax to collect a few dollars.

 

Above Photo: This is a sample of the soil from Circle Number # 4. I removed samples of soil from each of the circles and surrounding area.

Above Photo: The first picture below shows the center of a circle, and how the grain fell and overlapped over itself.

Above Photo: The second picture below also shows how the grain was affected in the center of the circle.


Crop Circles Return Three Years Later

by Gordon Hoekstra Citizen Staff, September, 2001

They'rrrrre baaaack !

Crop Circles have been discovered again in Vanderhoof, almost three years to the day they were firs found in a ripe oat field just off the airport runway. This time the circles -- an unexplained worldwide phenomena variously said to be the work of trickers, magnetic waves and aliens -- were discovered in a field about 5 kilometers from the Vanderhoof airport, or about 100 kilometers west of Prince George.

Brent Miskuski, an owner and pilot of Central Air, spotted the six latest circles Thursday evening on a flight between Prince George and Vanderhoof. Miskuski was one of those who discovered the first crop-circle formation three years ago. No paths or tracks were visible into the circles, said Miskuski, who made several low passes and took pictures from the air on Friday.

"It just appeared. It's like they were stamped out just like last time," he said. "It's pretty bizarre."

Miskuski has already been in contact with a Crop Circle researcher, Chad Deetken, who came to Vanderhoof in 1998 to take samples and investigate the information. The researcher said tests performed on the oat samples in a U.S. lab later confirmed the Crop Circles were genuine: that is to say there were cellular changes in the oats not found in known hoaxes.

Crop Circles have created quite a bit of controversy. There is mention of crop-circle formations back to the 17th century, and thousands have been recorded in modern times, with the majority found in southern England. Some have found to be hoaxes, where the grass is broken, trampled, bruised or crushed. In the unexplained formations, the stems are bent but not broken.

Mystery Crop Circles Found At Vanderhoof

Courtesy of The Prince George Citizen - Tuesday, Sept 1, 1998 Mystery crop circles found at Vanderhoof by GORDON HOEKSTRA, Citizen staff

 An unexplained phenomena -- dubbed crop circles around the world -- has been discovered in the forestry and farming community of Vanderhoof, 100 kilometres west of here. Vanderhoof airport owner Brent Miskuski and pilot Larry Frey discovered 10 precise circles of varying sizes between 10 to 100 feet wide (three to 30 metres) in a ripe oat field just beyond the approach to the runway this weekend.

"This is bizarre, I'll tell you," said Miskuski. "It's one out of the twilight zone."

One of the local farmers said his dogs were barking out of control unexplainably Friday night, said Miskuski, adding there was no wind that night either.

Miskuski -- who took pictures from the air -- describes the oats as being bent over symmetrically and lying down very flat. There are no signs of trampling or disturbance, and there were no paths to the circles or between them, he said.

Vanderhoof resident Jay Bangs also viewed the circles from the air when he was flying with his father Sunday morning. He came back after the flight to get a closer look.

He thought there were maybe a half dozen "perfectly round" circles of varying sizes up to 50 feet (15 metres) wide.

Bangs described the oats as being all neatly bent over, with the oats intact on the stalks. "It was very precise."

It's creating quite a bit of talk in the community, said Bangs, who also took pictures of the circles.

Crop circles first appeared in modern times in England in 1972, according to The Crop Circular Internet site.

Since then, there have been about 9,000 reported and documented circles -- about 90% in England but also in B.C.

About 40% of the documented circles have been determined to be hoaxes, says Internet author Freddy Silva, where the grass is broken, trampled, bruised or crushed.

In the authentic, unexplained formations the stems are bent, normally about an inch off the ground, says Silva.

Crop Circles Make A Further Appearance In BC Field

[Original headline: Mysterious circles crop up again in B.C. field]

VANDERHOOF, B.C. -- Crop circles, a worldwide phenomena variously said to be the work of tricksters, magnetic waves or aliens, have been discovered again in a northern B.C. field, almost three years to the day they were first spotted in the area.

This time the circles were seen in a field about five kilometres from the Vanderhoof airport, about 720 kilometres north of Vancouver.

Brent Miskuski, an owner and pilot of Central Air, spotted the six latest circles Thursday evening on a flight from Prince George to Vanderhoof.

Mr. Miskuski was one of those who discovered the first crop-circle formation three years ago.

No paths or tracks were visible to the circles, said Mr. Miskuski, who made several low passes and took pictures from the air on Friday.

"It just appeared," he said. "It's like they were stamped out just like last time. It's pretty bizarre."

Story originally published by: The Ottawa Citizen / ON - Sept 09.01

They're baa-aach... Following closely on the heels of crop circles that appeared in the Vanderhoof area in 1998, these six circles were spotted in a field of grain about five kilometers down Sturgeon Ponit Road.

Crop Circles Return To Vanderhoof

For the second time, pilot Brent Miskuski has seen something strange as he flew over Vanderhoof. On his way home to Prince George at about 7:30 last Thursday evening, Miskuski took off from the Vanderhoof airport over Sturgeon Point Road. Pressed into the grain crop were six circles - known as 'crop circles'.

"I didn't have my camera, so I went back out (Friday) morning and took some pictures," he said. "I don't know if anyone knows they're there. I didn't see any tracks of footprints going in there." As a pilot for Vanderhoof Flying Service, Miskuski has seen this before. The last time this area witnessed this phenomenon was in late August in 1998, when 11 circles appeared in a field leased by Halltray Farms.

"Last time, Eric (Spier) and I were the first to see those, too," said Miskuski. "There are fewer now and they're smaller." Spier, the pilot who spotted them first in 1998 agreed. "I don't think these ones are as nice as the first ones," he said. "They look rougher." Rough or not, the circles are already grabbing attention. Crop circle specialists from Vancouver, UFO enthusiasts and documentary makers are already on their way to the small town.

 Brian Vike, an Unidentified Flying Object researcher from Houston, British Columbia was out Saturday morning, collecting soil and grain samples from the new circles. "This is my first time looking at circles like this," he said. "It's really exciting." Vike who describes himself as an open-minded person, usually gathers reports of UFO sightings in the area. He spent Saturday collecting as much data about the six circles as he could.

One formation of circles - now being referred to as "Mickey Mouse's head" - consists of three separate circles. The largest one is 30 feet across and is flattened in a clockwise spiral. The smaller two are 16 and 17 feet across the smaller one flattened in a counter-clockwise spiral and the other clockwise. About 30 feet away lies another 17-foot circle in a counter-clockwise pattern. Forty feet from that is a formation of two circles - one is 27' 9" across in a clockwise spiral and the other 19' 10" in a counterclockwise spiral.

"Nobody had touched it before I got out there," said Vike. "There is one set of tracks out to one of the circles, but absolutely none leading from circle to circle and no other disturbances to the grain at all." The stalks of grain in the circles are all intact, simply bent over, said Vike. Nothing broken, just flattened," he said. "The spirals go in tighter and tighter as you approach the center of the circle - and then they start to overlap a bit in the middle." Nike also interviewed several people in the area who reported a "smoky" smell on the night the circles were first seen. "One lady said the smell was so disgusting they had to get up and close the window, "he said.

Vike's UFO research has kept him hopping lately. He said sightings are up almost 55 per cent this year alone. (for Canada) He's never encountered crop circles before, however. I hate to say it, but I suppose it would be fairly easy to fake them. That's why we take all these samples for analysis," he said. The samples will be tested for "just about everything", including magnetic traces, chemicals, and molecular structure.

"Man made or not," said Vike, "they're still cool."

Crop Circles Appear In B.C. Field For Second Time In Three Years

Ian Bailey National Post VANCOUVER - Residents of a small northern British Columbia community are thinking close encounters and magnetic forces as they try to explain a series of crop circles left in a barley field.

It's the second time in three years that mysterious circles have been found in a field in Vanderhoof, a farming and forestry community about 900 kilometres northwest of Vancouver in the geographical centre of B.C.

In 1998, 10 mysterious circles were found in farmer Philip Long's field of ripe oats near the airport runway, some up to 30 metres in diameter.

The latest circles -- six that are about seven metres in diameter, were found in Mr. Long's barley field, also near the airport.

Len Fox, Mayor of the community of about 4,000 people, says the new circles are the talk of the district.

"There are all kinds of explanations," Mr. Fox said yesterday. "You name it. Everyone has their own theory."

The new circles were first detected last Thursday by Brent Miskiski, owner of a local six-plane airline, Central Air.

"By fluke, I looked down and noticed the formation: six circles perfectly formed in a field," Mr. Miskiski said yesterday.

The next day, he took his camera up in his single-engine aircraft and took a series of photos of the circles.

"When you look at them, they're not stamped into the field. It's like they're combed into the field."

 The circles look as if someone pressed a giant glass or coaster into the crops, crushing them flat, observers say.

Mr. Miskiski also discovered the 1998 series of the mysterious circles, a phenomena that has been linked to everything from aliens to unknown natural energies to "Mother Earth" to nature spirits to psychic manipulation.

Circles Mysterious Return

Crop Watch 2001

They're baack. Three years after a set of mysterious, circular patterns appeared in an oat field next to the Vanderhoof airport runway, observers have spotted six more "crop circles" formed in the flattened grain. Crop circle experts promptly descended upon the town, located about 100 km east of Prince George, soon after the new patterns were discovered September 6, 2001

Canadian Crop Circle Research network field research assistant Brian Vike quickly headed out to collect soil and grain samples. The CCCRN had already expanded its research project into the mysterious shapes that are found more frequently I August and September than any other time of the year in Canada. The new circles aren't as intricate as the ones discovered in 1998

Vike noted Vanderhoof's six new circles weren't as intricate as those discovered back on September 1, 1998 by a local pilot, Brent Miskuski. Those circles ranged in size from 10 to 100 feet (30 meters). The CCCRN says a half dozen crop circle reports had come out of B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba so far this year. The network adds that nine other countries in the world have reported crop circle formations this year. It's not known what causes the curious formations. Some of them appear to be manmade; however others continue to baffle scientists because lab results of soil and plant samples show anomalies that can't be explained. The circles usually appear overnight and in all kinds of weather.

Low Flying UFO Illuminated By City Lights Ogdensburg New York (Diagram)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  August 19, 2007

Time:  Approximately 9:45 p.m.

Hello Brian, updated I have a rough sketch of what I saw. I only have access to paint from Microsoft right now no AutoCAD program. I hope this sketch is enough information for your viewers to help with it's identification.

I had just witnessed a number of weird objects and was in the process of heading in that night and all of sudden I had this white light object go over my backyard in the city and witnessed a major power-up.

I then moved to the middle of my backyard that's fenced in and this is when I caught a glimpse of this object. It was completely silent and without lights and a matter of fact the craft was so low that the city's street lights were illuminating the object.

I would guess that the object was at least two stories high minimum and over 3/4 of a city block long, it was incredible on it's side there was these circles and they were 3-D not flat on the object.

All I can say is that we are in a small city and there's just a small airport here nothing military nearby less than 50 miles away, it was one of best and stirring sightings of this year, and I have seen quite a few this year. I hope other's have seen this object elsewhere.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Loud Boom And Shaking Felt By Many In Greentown Indiana


Date:  April 29, 2020
Time:  10:15 p.m.

Full Description of Event Sighting: Around 10:15 p.m. on April 29, 2020 myself as well as neighbors came out into the streets - 2 block radius heard  a boom and shaking of houses.

I checked online for any information and also we called 911 and they said they dispatched police to our area (Greentown) to check. I looked online and found your site that in April 2008, it happened around the same time.

I also found another online story about a boom and shaking in April. So, is this a coincidence ?
