Orange Light Seen Twice From Sylvan Lake Alberta Canada

This sighting report was never posted !

Date:  August 26, 2021

Time:  Between 9:00 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.

Hello Brian, I saw an orange light in the sky due southwest west from Sylvan Lake on Tuesday August 26, 2021 this week between 9:00 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.. It sat just above the mountains.

It then proceeded to descend rapidly and appeared to descend in front of the mountains. Hard to say.  I didn't watch it very closely yesterday as I was on the phone. I saw it again tonight and I meant to watch, however, I got busy and it was gone by 10:00 p.m.

I never put much thought to it, but after seeing it again tonight, I decided to Google it and I found your post on it. Originally my wife and I put it off as a possible flare.

Thought you might be interested.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Chilliwack Lake Area British Columbia Canada Bright UFO Casts Light Onto Trees

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: May 18, 2009

Time: Approxamtlty 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Chilliwack Lake area, BC, Canada.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Orb.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi, I'm (name removed) and I'm 24 years old. I was camping over the long weekend with some friends and we were sitting around the fire for the night. We're originally from Vancouver, so being able to see the sky clear enough to actually see so many stars was amazing for us. 

We were all looking up at the sky at the stars. My friends went back to their conversation and the campfire and I continued watching. I was trying to spot satellites when I noticed a huge white light (Orb shaped) beam across the sky. 

At first I thought it was a shooting star, but there was no tail. Also, the light coming off of it was a little "hazy" if that makes sense. It travelled towards the direction of the lake. I'm usually pretty skeptical (I'm a Catholic high school teacher) but, this event has really shaken me. 

I kept trying to tell myself that it wasn't real, but the light would change speed, traveling slowly and then gathering speed, and then slowing down again until it finally disappeared behind a mountain and I lost sight. 

As the orb went over the ridge, it cast a lot of bright light on the surrounding trees on that ridge.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Beam Of Light Witnessed Over Wynndel British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  October 1, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 9:31 p.m.

Hello. At approxamtlty 2131hrs October 1, 2010 I was traveling north on highway 22 between Trail and Castlegar at 49.08'36.81"N 117.44'20.85"W. I observed a bolide overhead that tracked from my six and appeared to break into at least two pieces.

One large and one smaller trailing piece that disappeared first. Using Google Earth today I estimate the track to be almost a perfect, 0 degree, South to North directional.

It appeared to be 10-15 east of zenith to my O.P. and disintegrated or became unobservable at approximately 45 degrees horizon.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Beam Of Light Witnessed Over Wynndel British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1990s

Time:  Evening.

Hi, I came across your website regarding the beam of light in B.C. in 2003. In the 1990's my family saw this same thing and I was reminded about it earlier today while at a bookstore. 

I was leafing through an old book called Ogopogo written by Mary Moon in 1977 and in the back there was a chapter about other Okanagan phenomena.

One was called the 'Okanagan Arch' which exactly describes this beam of light. I was intrigued that it was a recurring albeit rare event so I thought I'd look it up online. 

I was surprised that your website was the only one I found that mentioned it. In the book, the author tells that this beam of light has been reported throughout the years, 1900's, 1920's, 30's etc. and at the time of writing it was still a mystery as to it's cause.

Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Another UFO Bright Red Light With Flashes Of White Light Over Kilworth Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 27, 2010

Time:  9:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Kilworth Ontario.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Large light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hello Brian, I popped out to walk the dog and have a cig, and looked up in the overcast western sky for a few moments. I turned to walk back up our path and caught a glimpse of a bright light over my right shoulder out of the corner of my eye. It was pretty low and very bright, so I paused and waited. About 3 blocks over, about 500 feet high it appeared silently, and slowly made it’s way in a straight line gradually getting lower in a easterly direction over the River.

From the time I spotted the light which was bright red with flashes of white light, not dull at all and not changing in intensity either, until the time it reached the river, I would say 8 to 10 seconds had passed.

The distance covered would be about 4 blocks. It was the only thing visible in the overcast sky, I heard planes earlier in the day and I could not see them because of the cloud cover, there were no visible stars tonight either. This was entirely silent, very steady and very low in the sky. Too low in my opinion to be an aircraft.

When this object was very close to my location, it was exactly the height of the cliffs on the south side of the river. I could make out the dark shadow of the cliff of the Komoka Provincial Park as the light flew steadily in front of it (the cliff). If my estimation is correct, then the object/light would have had to be lower than the actual tree line! (150 to 200 feet) Even on a cloudy night like tonight you can clearly make out the white of the sky behind the black leafless trees at this distance.

There is nothing obstructing my view except a few large trees in my own yard, nothing that I can't just step around in order to get a better look if you know what I mean. So, having said that, when I noted with amazement the very low altitude, and the close proximity of what I was observing this light just disappeared. It didn't fade out, it zipped away and it didn't reappear anywhere in the sky in the 25 or so minutes I was outside.

I hate to say this, let alone think it, but one can only imagine that that maybe it was trying to land. I don't know what to think, it was very surreal.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Last night(13/09/10) at approxamtlty 10:00 p.m. AST. my girlfriend sitting in the car while I was in Walmart saw 2 bright blue flashes in the sky this was in Amherst, Nova Scotia she thought it was lightning.

Did Close Encounter Light Up Our Skies?

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Forget Roswell - it seems Strines maybe the new Area 51 after claims a UFO was spotted in the sky on Sunday night. Pub-goers at the Royal Oak on Strines Road were mystified by three red lights in a triangular formation slowly moving across the sky at around 9pm.

The lights were also spotted by residents in Romiley and Marple, who wondered whether they were having a close encounter of the third kind.

Jameson Moon, 39, landlord of the Royal Oak and an aviation enthusiast, immediately consulted his radar and discovered the ‘object’ was not registering.

He said: "One of the customers was outside having a cigarette when he saw the lights and we all went outside to have a look.

"The lights were moving very slowly across the sky and they were some distance apart it eventually moved behind a cloud. There is no way it was a plane and it didn’t show up on my radar.

"I was amazed. I have never seen anything like this before and may never seen anything like it again. I am usually a sceptic but after seeing this I am not sure."

Jameson’s mum Grace added: "Everybody in the pub saw it. I think the whole village saw it and we hadn’t had too much to drink."

Christine Smith, 56, from Romiley, added: "My husband and I saw the lights hovering above Marple. They were there for about 15 minutes then disappeared.

"We live under the flight path and it is normally very busy but I have never seen anything like this before."

Brian Vike director of HBCC UFO Research, based in Canada, explained that recent sightings of lights either on their own or in a group have turned out to be Chinese lanterns.

Mr. Vike said: "The lanterns people release are for some kind of festival, weddings or some other event. Or people just playing around maybe hoping to get some type of excitement over something strange happening, when indeed it is nothing to get excited over."

However, UFO expert Nick Pope, who used to run the British Government’s UFO Project, is not convinced that the explanation lies with lanterns and believes the object could have been a large UFO.

He said: "It’s an intriguing image - something extremely interesting has been captured here. While many recent UFO sightings in the UK have been attributable to Chinese lanterns, I’m not convinced this is the explanation here.

"While it’s possible that three Chinese lanterns might briefly end up in a triangular formation, it’s inconceivable that they’d hold such a pattern constantly.

"It seems a very strange coincidence that three lanterns would be snapped in the shape of a perfect triangle. This raises the intriguing possibility that what we’re looking at here is the underside of a triangular-shaped UFO, with lights at each corner. If this is the case, the object is massive.

"The fact that the three lights held the pattern makes it highly likely that we’re dealing with lights on the underside of a single object, as opposed to three separate objects.

"That the object disappeared behing cloud suggests it was vast, as one would expect the cloud base to be at a height of several thousand feet.

"When working at the Ministry of Defence I investigated many sightings of such triangular-shaped craft."

Amber Orange Bright Light Over Camelon Village Central Scotland UK

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  October 16, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 11:00 p.m.

Dear Brian, I also want to report a UFO I spotted in the sky over Camelon at 11:00 p.m. on Saturday 16, October 2010.

I was looking out of my flat window because there were a couple of drunks in my street causing a disturbance, when I looked to the sky this is when I saw a suspicious light moving, well, not in a normal way for it to be an aircraft.

To be sure, I put my glasses on and checked again and this is what I saw,  an amber/orange bright light, it wasn't that close, but the shape was 2-3mm wide (i.e. much larger than the average star in the sky), it was moving in one direction, but in a haphazard way, it moved forward slowly a little, hovered, moved forward again and sped up before hovering again.

It wasn't moving in the trajectory of a straight line, more of an arc, then it disappeared into a cloud. I am a final year science student at university and am a rational person. I would not be reporting this weird sighting if I thought it could be explained away by anything else other than it being it UFO. Interestingly, Camelon is extremely close to Denny, where another sighting was reported on your website on Friday 15 October. Many thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Airport Employee Observes Round Blue Light Over FAT Airport Fresno California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 26, 2010

Time:  Evening.

While working at the airport in Fresno, California, I was driving east on the ramp when I noticed a round blue light in the sky. 

It was coming from north of me and it was traveling at a very high speed heading east, maybe 20,000 feet altitude.

I have never seen anything like it before. I see jets, planes, helicopters coming in and going all day.

We even have the 144th Air National Guard fighter wing base and Marine F-18’s on the other side of the runway. So it's not a F-16s, F-15s or F-18s . Is there an explanation for this?

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Additional Witnesses Watch Red Light Over Kings Island Mason Ohio

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 19, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 9:30 p.m.

I work at Kings Island in the Rides department. As I was leaving one of the rides around 9:30 one of our maintenance guys told me that he had seen a UFO. I asked him to point it out for me and so he pointed to the sky between the moon and what he said was Jupiter.

He was unable to find what he saw, but after a few minutes of looking I spotted the light. We watched it for another 5 minutes or so. The light seemed as if it was not moving. It looked as if the light was blinking at an odd interval.

We thought the clouds might have been moving in front of it. When I got back to the office that night about 30 other people I worked with were talking about the same light. My boss had actually tried to film it with his cell phone, but the low quality made it impossible to pick up.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

A Loud Boom Was Heard And Yellow Light Seen Over Elmwood Park Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 5, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:15 p.m.

We saw the same thing at 10:15p.m., except ours followed by a boom after the flame and radar lights.

Additional Information:

Hello, ok here's my story, I live in Elmwood Park Illinois and I was parking my car in the driveway as I just got home. 

I heard a boom and as I looked up in the sky with my girlfriend, I saw a flame -ish, yellowish light floating from south to north and then it vanished.

My girlfriend tried taking a photo of it with her camera phone, but not much came out. I am sending you the picture we tried to get. 

This was on the evening of September 5th around 10:15 pm, I'm a bit confused, also still hovering in the east are bright lights, but that might be a weather radar pattern or something. Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

A Glowing Light Shoots Across The Sky Over Kent Lake Road Michigan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 2, 2010

Time:  6:15 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.

Location of Sighting:

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving my daughter to school and we saw a light glow in the dark sky and it shot across the sky and disappeared. We thought it was a shooting star, but it went straight.

Then when I told my husband that night, he said when he was dropping my son at work around the same area. My son saw it to, as he said it appeared and moved side to side before shooting off into the dark. It was like the back of a jet when it starts, that's how I can describe the light at first.

We live in Michigan. The sighting was on Kent Lake Road between Silver Lake Road and Grandriver that’s where we were, but it was off in the distance in the sky. Not sure if it was Brighton or South Lyon Boundary. 

Thanks so much. If I was by myself  they would of never believed it!

4 Red Balls Of Light Over Lambertville Michigan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 25, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.

My husband and I were unloading our car on Christmas night at approx. 9:00 - 9:30pm when 3 red balls of light caught his eye. He motioned to me to come look and sure enough, there were 3 red balls of light in the distance heading south towards Toledo, Oh, I was just about to run inside to get my binoculars, when a 4th red ball of light caught our eye.

This one seemed to go right over our heads and seemed low in the sky, under the clouds. It was traveling much farther behind than the others. The only way we can explain it is that it was a red glowing light surrounded by some sort of a glowing halo. 

There was absolutely no sound coming from it and it just floated in the sky. These objects didn't seem to be moving fast. I tried to call my mom who lives in Toledo, but she wasn't able to see them.

I decided to check online to see if anyone else had by chance seen this and that's when I came across Brian’s blog. Would love to know what they were!

4 Orange Red Balls Of Light Over Thompson Manitoba

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 24, 2010

Time:  Evening.

Tonight, December 24 2010, My mom, her friend and her husband and I, and others on our street saw 4 Orange/reddish balls of light above Thompson Manitoba. They were heading northeast. 

We could tell that they were not planes, they moved at different paces at different times, and seemed to change altitude greatly within 5-10 seconds, they went up much higher. 

They seemed to travel a large distance in 2-3 seconds. Nothing that I have every seen a normal aircraft to do.

They first appear when we came home from church, only one at first, we thought it was a star, maybe Mars. When we got out, a neighbor pointed out that there was more. 4 to be exact. 

As they moved, they got smaller, when they got smaller, they seemed to slow, as if gaining height. Within a minute, they disappeared, One by one.

We couldn't explain it, so I searched for an answer.

This happened less than an hour ago.

That you for your time. If you have any answers, or Ideas, please contact me back.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

A Bright Light In UFO Tracking: Brian Vike

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Houston resident Brian Vike is one of the best-known UFO watchers in Canada.

Andrew Hudson - Jan. 8, 2012 7:00 p.m.

A boy across the street from Brian Vike’s house was tilting a new-looking telescope at the moon last Tuesday.

Chances are, he saw what any budding stargazer would expect to see—eye-popping views of the massive lava basins and colossal impact craters that scar the lunar surface.

But if Vike’s young neighbour ever spots something strange in the Houston sky, something he can’t explain, he won’t have to go far to make a UFO report.

“Just what I need,” said Vike, laughing.

Brian Vike is one of the best-known UFO watchers in Canada. Google “red orange light” or “large circular UFO” and his Vike Factor blog pops up in the top results. The site lists 1,712 sightings reports for last year alone.

“Most people, I really do believe, are genuine,” Vike said. “Their seeing something doesn’t mean it’s extraterrestrial or anything like that. But they are seeing something, and what is it?”

In one report dated New Year’s Day, a man from Duncan, B.C. told Vike that his girlfriend had repeatedly told him about the pairs of “strange orbs” she had seen glowing red and orange in the sky.

“I thought she was off her rocker until last night when I seen this myself,” he wrote to Vike. “We watched in awe trying to figure out what they could possibly be. An airplane or a helicopter always has beacon lights—these did not!”

Vike said he is scrambling to catch up on more than 300 such reports, all of which came in between Dec. 24 and Jan. 3.

“It’s amazing stuff, but most of it’s explainable,” Vike said. A lot of the glowing “orbs” turn out to be Chinese paper lanterns—thin paper lanterns that can float up hundreds of feet in the air on the heat of a tiny candle.

In fact, Vike said that lantern “sightings” have become a bit of a nuisance since more and more people in Western countries have started lighting them for weddings and holidays. Some people get a little upset to hear that their UFO sighting might be nothing more than a hot paper bag.

“You don’t want to tell too many people that because they’ll start cursing at you,” said Vike, laughing.

Standing six feet tall and wearing a plain black baseball cap, it’s hard to imagine anyone getting upset with Vike. He has a friendly, funny manner that would make him a shoe-in for one of the Lone Gunmen—the squad of amateur conspiracy busters who used to make cameos on The X-Files TV show.

But before he flies off into science fiction, Vike has to check off a list of real-world possibilities for every new UFO report. That’s the idea, he said—to try and help people discover what they saw.

Vike often starts with websites like Heavens Above, which posts real-time tracking data for satellites, the International Space Station, space shuttle flights and visible meteor passes.

On New Year’s Eve, for example, Vike got a string of UFO sightings from across Arizona, New Mexico and southern Colorado that seemed to follow in the wake of a brightly burning meteor.

Vike also tries to follow launch times at big air bases like the Vandenberg air force base in northern California.

“They’ll send up a lot of rockets, space satellites, and military hardware,” Vike said. “A lot of people are interested in that alone.”

Many people who stumble on Vike’s website report things they saw years ago. From 1993, Vike noticed a wave of sightings are most likely from people who saw F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighters flying low over North America to fight in the first Gulf War.

“I had a whole whack of reports of triangles coming in along their flight path,” he said.

Military jets, northern lights, space junk and comets—those are all sightings that even alien hopefuls aren’t likely to be disappointed in.

But Vike said it’s easy to be caught off guard by much more Earthly things.

Vike said he once a V-shaped something fly over Houston. He got pretty excited before he heard wings and realized it was a flock of geese.

“At night time, you get town or city lights and they’re low enough that the lights hit their bellies and you get that big V-shape,” he said, laughing.

Still, other reports don’t lend themselves to easy explanation.

This January, a crew from the Canadian Discovery Channel will speak with Vike on camera about a “missing time” case.

Two Kelowna women told Vike that on July 31, 2003, they were walking a dog along a lake and saw three strange lights in the sky. The lights came together in a triangle shape, they said, before dropping and hovering over the highway.

“They claim that they had missing time, and the next morning bruising, bleeding noses,” he said. “And they’ve been very sick since.”

What is really interesting about the Kelowna case, Vike said, is that it is one of many strange reports that followed the terrible number of forest fires in the Okanogan that year.

Despite slowing down a bit, and shutting down a larger website that was getting some 2.5 million hits a month, Vike is still in high demand for his UFO expertise. For years, he has fielded calls from the likes of CBC and BBC radio, the Discovery Channel and others.

“I just spent more time on this than anything else,” he said. “I think that’s why it kept moving along.”

Fifty years ago, Vike said he was just like the boy across the street, armed with a 50 mm Sears telescope from his parents and a boundless curiosity.

“Yep—I always look in the sky,” he said. “You never know what you’re going to see.”

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.

Witnesses Watch Light Move Around The Sky Over Oswego New York

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 12, 2011

Time:  11:15 p.m. - 1:00 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 6

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Half the oval could be seen from the light, which was the shining object moving, the light was reflecting off the object and you could see half an oval.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was outside checking out a meteor shower, but I didn't see any meteors. So I decided to go back inside when this bright light caught my eye.

I stood out of the steps gazing at the light, when all of a sudden it started to move slowly to the right then to the left, up and down, then started to do small circles.

I came back inside and got my house mate. We stood out on the step waiting for the light to move, all of a sudden it started to do the same thing again, but in longer distances, approximately 4-5 inches in different directions.

He then showed his girlfriend and she started to freak out, because it was moving again. I woke up my landlord to check out the mysterious light, it was approaching 12:00 (midnight) and the object was still moving.

The grandmother was awake and she called her friend to bring some binoculars. He arrived in less than 5 minutes, we watched the object for a hour.

During that hour the grandmother came out and saw the object moving back and forth, glowing brighter then fainter, but always moving. The guy left at 1:00 a.m. because the cloud cover was getting thick.

I' am going to check again tomorrow night to see if the object returns.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

White Light Races Downward Over Columbus Ohio

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 9, 2011

Time:  Evening.

About 20-30 minutes ago I saw a glowing ball of white light racing downwards and diagonally across the sky. It seemed to bright and way to close to be a distant star.

I noticed it and then it dissipated and it was light orange. It evaporated very quickly or at least I think it did. I drove in my truck to see if I could see signs of a landing, crash, or related activity.

I didn’t see anything afterwards. Told my friend about it because he was talking to him on my cellphone at the time it happened. Told him I never saw anything like it ever. Then came in and Googled and that’ how I saw your post. I am in Columbus, Ohio.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
