UFO Spotted Over Haro Strait Near Victoria British Columbia (Sighting Solved)

Date: September 8 2010
Time: 4:45 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Haro Strait Near Victoria British Columbia.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Cigar shaped.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My husband, mother-in-law and I were at a viewpoint on top of Mt Tolmie in Victoria. The sky behind us to the west was solid black thunder clouds, but to the east over the water the sky was clear. My husband was the first to see, in the east, what looked like a very large jet liner that was stationary in the sky. His comment was "That plane sure isn't moving very fast." He was right.

The object was bright white with no visible markings and was sitting completely still. If it was actually the size of a jet, it appeared to be about five or six miles away. If it was something else, the distance was difficult to judge as we did not know its size. We do know it was over the water. Although it was near the flight path from Victoria to Seattle and it was a bit lower than the planes usually are.

We've seen enough large planes to know that at a certain angle they can look like a long tube as the wings appear superimposed on the body of the plane. We took that into consideration. We also know that a plane flying directly towards or away can look like it is not moving. However in this case neither scenario seemed correct. It definitely looked like we were seeing the side of the object.

In that case it should have been moving. If it were coming right at us, or going away, it should have become larger or smaller. Actually, if we were seeing just the end of the "plane" that would have meant it was immense! None of that happened. It stayed exactly the same. After several minutes it suddenly seemed to shrink then fade away, although it did not change its position. Just as suddenly it reappeared a few seconds later in the very same place, in it's original size, shape and again a bright white.

After a few more minutes it started to move very slowly in a southerly direction towards the Straits of Juan de Fuca. I've never seen a plane fly that slowly and stay in the air! We discussed the possibility of it being a balloon or strangely shaped kite. We eliminated the kite idea as there was no wind on the water, in the trees far below us or on the mountain top. In fact it was unusually still. If it was some sort of tethered balloon it had an incredibly long string and at some point became loose.

However if it had been tethered then broken free it would be surprising that it managed to maintain a course that did not wander or deviate at all. We watched it for about 10 minutes. I wanted to follow it along the waterfront below and try to find, but we had to get my mother-in-law home. So, after much consideration, I decided to pass on the information to you as it really was an "Unidentified Flying Object". Perhaps some others saw it that afternoon and can give a better description or better still an explanation.

Additional Information: Sighting Solved.

Hello Brian- The UFO that you report seeing on September 8th, was a zeppelin (dirigible) that was contracted through Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in collaboration with the NOAA Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle and the Center for Whale Research on San Juan Island to take aerial photographs of killer whales. I was aboard the vessel and we did hover over an area of Haro Strait on the west side of San Juan Island called False Bay for approximately 45 minutes between 4 and 5 p.m. I will be posting a more in-depth article about the mission this afternoon. I would be happy to send you a link to the article once it is posted.

Brian Vike's Note: Thank you to the person who emailed me to say it was them inside of a Zeppelin (dirigible) which was the cause for the sighting.

UFO Causes Power Problems At A Home In Cobourg Ontario

Date: Late July 2010
Time: Around 10:00 p.m. after 3:00 in the morning.

Location of Sighting: Cobourg Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 6
Number of Objects: 1 (very large)
Shape of Objects: Almost oval in shape.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: We were just sitting down watching TV when the power surged, all the lights dimmed to a very dark orange, and the TV started to go wavy, like when you throw a rock into still water.

Then we all saw a really bright light coming from outside and we all jumped up and looked out the living room window, and there was this large oval white light. I swear it was daylight, it stayed like that for 30 seconds, then it really quickly went orange red purple then green and disappeared.

The power returned to normal like nothing happened, me and one of my friends talked about it after and we both feared for our lives as we thought it could be a bomb or something that's just how intense the situation was for me and I like to observe the stars.

I've seen other things that may have been a UFOs, but I tried to logically find an explanation, but this time I just don't know what to think. It happened so fast that we couldn't even find a camera, or even a cell phone camera.

Orange Light 20 Minutes From Bird River And Lac Du Bonnet Manitoba

Date: August 21, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, we have been talking about this strange orange light we saw going across the sky for a couple weeks now. Last week we found out our neighbour next door was looking at the same thing the same night. He was able to get his binoculars out.

We will relay your email address to him. We saw what appeared to be something on fire in the sky and could have resembled a ‘c’ shape. The object did not go fast and seemed similar to the sighting in Michigan. There was a storm just starting to brew and it was flying under the cloud line. The sighting happened 20 minutes from Bird River and Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Canada on Lee River August 21st at approximately 10:30 pm. Regards.

Strange Looking Bright White Light Over Ottawa Ontario

Date: September 5, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Hi Brian, found your sight while doing a little Googling to see if anyone had seen a strange sight in the Ottawa night sky recently.

Here's what happened:

On Sunday, September 5th, at approximately 10:00pm (really not sure about the actual time), my girlfriend and I were sitting on our balcony overlooking the Ottawa River, facing north. We noticed a bright light approaching Ottawa and we both naturally assumed it was some type of aircraft approaching Ottawa's airport (as we are on the flight path and see aircraft all the time).

However, I quickly noticed that there were several strange things about this particular light. The light was approaching rapidly from an unusual angle (heading southwest instead of southeast which is usually the case as this is the direction of the airport). It was moving exceptionally fast compared to other aircraft that I have seen from this vantage point. There were no audible sounds, nor any flashing lights. Just a solid white light. It was not foggy, but there were some clouds scattered about in the sky.

It seemed to me that the speed (which was obviously impossible to estimate or relate) seemed to be extremely fast, but not as fast as watching a satellite passing overhead which would be hard to see from this vantage point as we're not outside the light pollution of the city. I remarked that if it were a commercial jet, it would not have appeared to have been moving so fast as it approached Ottawa unless it was really low in the sky and yet, there were no visible flashing lights nor any sound). I know what an approaching commercial jet looks like, and this one did not appear to be a jet.

As it approached, the light became more brighter, but it still remained a solid white light (no flashing). After about a minute, or so, observing the light as it came closer to our position, it rapidly adjusted it's course (and began heading southeast) and as it turned, the light quickly became less intense. It seemed obvious to me that the vehicle had picked up speed and was now climbing. I was fairly sure that the aircraft had just banked to it's left and was now climbing rapidly. Within a few moments, the faint light disappeared behind one of a few clouds in the sky. I tried to watch for it amongst the cloud and thought that I may have caught a glimpse of it again as it passed near the lower section of the cloud but looking past the cloud and estimating its speed and last known direction, the light did not reappear anywhere.

I am not saying it was a UFO, but it was unknown to me because I'm used to seeing flashing lights on every aircraft I've seen moving rapidly in the night sky. I'm working on the hypothesis that it was a military jet which changed course and climbed when it neared Ottawa airspace, but it was definitely a strange sight. I assume that military aircraft also have flashing lights however.

Would love to hear if you have any insight as to what it might have been. Regards.

Orange Light Over Brampton Ontario (Picture)

Date: August 20, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Hi Brian, my boyfriend and I were driving home at around 11:00pm on August 20th, 2010 and we noticed a orange light in the sky. We were around Bovaird and Chinguacousy and the light was in the northwest sky.

The light appeared stationary, so we decided to drive closer for a better look. We pulled over to take a picture and as soon as I got out of the car the light/object moved away (NW towards Georgetown) and then within two seconds it disappeared.

The picture is very blurry but the light/object we saw is right in the center (looks like a tiny dot).

Bright White Light Flying Low Over Kelowna British Columbia

Date: September 3, 2010

Time: Approx: 8:45 p.m.

Hi, I think I saw the same thing in the sky that the lady saw. Sept 3 at about 8:45 pm. It was a bright white light about as high as a low flying plane, no noise or flashing lights that are on a plane. It went right over me then faded out and disappeared. It was in my sight for about a minute and a half. Weird.

Additional Information:

Kelowna B.C. Canada. I was reading on the site and a person from Penticton B.C. saw the same thing I did a night earlier. I went to let the dogs in and noticed it was warm out and clear so I thought I would look at the stars for a bit and there it was.

I watched it go right over me for a minute or so then in two seconds it just faded out and was gone. It kind of looked like the headlight of a low flying plane, but no other flashing plane lights or plane body or noise.

It was way to low to be a satellite, you could see stars and satellites way off in the background. I've spent a lot of time gazing at the stars and that is the first time I saw something like that. A day earlier a few people in Kelowna phoned into the radio saying they saw funny lights in the sky during the day. UFO?, ball lightning?, strange weather? who knows, but that is a first for me.

UFOs Over Kelowna British Columbia

Date: September 3, 2010
Time: Late evening.

Hi there, I to have been seeing the UFOs quite frequently, in fact I was watching them tonight. It looked like 2 white lights pouring out of the handle of the big dipper. Last night it came over head. It was a bright light that came to a stop, then shrunk to a small light and faded out. In July I saw them then to. I have a big tree in my back yard. My son and I were watching the sky it came down from the west.

It was a very large amber colored light. Once it went behind the tree we could not see it anymore. I have been trying to get people together in the Kelowna area to form a sky watch group, but people seem to be shy or afraid. Is anyone interested?

Note from Brian Vike, Sightings.com - The lady who filed this sighting report asked if folks in Kelowna, B.C. might be interested in forming a sky watch group. If anyone is interested, please contact me, Brian Vike at sighting@telus.net and I will hook you up with the lady.

Object Looked Like A Cigar Shaped UFO Over North Eastern New Brunswick Canada

Date: September 3, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:15 p.m.

Hello Brian, I have just read your story on Sightings.com because I have seen the exact same thing you described this evening. I figured I'd Google it and try to find an explanation and I fell on your site. It was around 11:15pm, but there was only one. The people we were with said they had seen it last evening too, but didn't think too much about it until tonight.

The one we saw tonight looked like it was gliding at a steady slow speed from SE to N, but not in a straight line (we are situated in North Eastern New Brunswick, Canada). It actually looked like it almost came to a stop, turned to face north (at that point it was losing it's brightness, but looked like a cigar shaped object) and just started a climb through the clouds.

We could tell there were clouds because no stars were to be seen, and besides, we are expecting hurricane Earl to hit tomorrow in the Maritimes. Our friend was quick enough to grab a pair of binoculars and said it looked like a big ball of fire as he could see the orange brightness dancing.

Anyhow, we thought it was really weird and we had the same discussion you posted on your site, could it have been an air balloon? No because the fire goes on and off plus we should have been able to see the balloon lit up. Could it have been a satellite? No because it was under the clouds and too big and orange. A flare? No because flares are usually red and come down instead of climbing up. So, if you ever find an answer to this UFO, let us know.

Gun Metal Black Cylinder/UFO Over Kelowna British Columbia

Date: December 10, 2009
Time: 3:50 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Kelowna, B.C.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Black cylinder.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was called out to the balcony on December 10, 2009 at 15:50 by a co-worker who had been looking at large black cylinder in the clear sky for several minutes already. He asked, "do you see what I see? Is that what I think it is?" There was a third person on the balcony who was listening to our conversation while looking at the black cylinder, however she did not comment whatsoever.

I saw this gun-metal black cylinder, which to me seemed massive as it was very high in the sky. It was roughly at a 35-40 degree angle with a small contrail and was moving very slowly at first. It seemed to stop, hover, then resume it's slow speed (I have found an online photo of the exact object we saw, pretty much the same size and position at www.thetechherald.com in an article called 'Mystery Cylinder UFO Spotted Over British Holiday Resort'-Stevie Smith).

It behaved this way for approximately 10 minutes. I had to leave the scene to tend to work. Roughly 3 minutes later this same co-worker came to me and said the cylinder accelerated at an unthinkable speed then disappeared. We both had never seen anything of this sort!

That night I explained it to my husband who is ex-military, and he did not have an explanation either! Now, today, September 2, 2010 I heard on the local radio station that at 08:15 several people had called in a blue light that had a small contrail, which hovered, then disappeared. A speaker from the local observatory said the only things this phenomenon could be are remnants of asteroid belt that recently passed through Kelowna (of which a small meteorite hit a construction site!) that hit the stratosphere or a "spacecraft".

For the rest of the day I have noticed an unusual amount of activity in the sky in a relatively contained area. It seems to be military action as up to 7 high-speed crafts flying extremely high (with decent binoculars all I could see were thin, slightly triangular silver crafts. They also reflected a lot of light). These crafts left long double contrails and flew in all directions, two of which were flying behind each other as if chasing, patrolling... or whatever. Today's activity is in the same 'area' as the black cylinder I witnessed with ! my co-worker eight and a half months earlier.

Time: 8:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Penticton, B.C.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: A bright light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Looked out the window and noticed the bright light which was larger then a star moving at a steady, but slow speed from southwest, to northeast. I've seen satellites in the sky before, and this was not it. The light appeared to be low, and below what clouds were in the sky. I notified my wife to look out the window to see. We then went out to our back deck and watched as it continued on and over the mountain horizon until we could no longer see it. It made no sound, no flashing lights like you would see on an airplane. Very strange, and very interesting.

Stationary Square/Cube Shaped UFO Over Witnesses Home In Nanaimo British Columbia

Date: August 31, 2010
Time: 7:45 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Nanaimo.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Square/cubed.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi there, I have never filed such a report as this, but I feel compelled. I walk my border collie most nights around 7:30 p.m. On August 31, 2010, we took a familiar route on a nearby street. The evening was cool and grey with low cloud cover, and the daylight had turned into a half light.

The street lights were on 20 minutes later. Something caught my eye to my left and about 200 feet above some houses was a stationary object, probably dark grey or brown, and about five to ten feet wide in size. There were no lights on it. It appeared square, possibly cube like, but as it rotated it disappeared for a second or two, as though it may have been two dimensional.

I discarded the possibility it was a kite, because there was no wind at all. We walked about 40 feet and looked up again and saw it. We walked another 40 feet, with some tall pines blocking our view, and when I looked up again past the pines, it was gone, no trace at all anywhere. It did not reappear. Just thought I would share this. Thanks.

Time: 8:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Interlake Manitoba (Winnipeg Beach Area).
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Long (cigar shaped).

Full Description of Event/Sighting: On Sunday August 29, 2010 my daughter and I were outside on our deck, when she noticed something in the sky. She pointed it out to me, I then called my husband to see it. The object was climbing into the sky and very large, relative size about a yard.

Actual size maybe a mile long. Object was a white-orange colour. No blinking lights and no exhaust. Object was coming from over the trees, but very far away. We could see it climbing into the sky very clearly because of the size.

We watched object for about 10-15 minutes until we could no longer see it. The object came from the west and went north after it had passed the cloud line. I have not seen anything this close to the earth or this large before. I have noticed other objects in the sky before and they all are heading north, curious isn't it.

Bright Fiery Orange Round UFO Hovers Over The Nechako River Fort Fraser British Columbia

Date: August 2010
Time: 11:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Fort Fraser.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round/fiery orange.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Sorry I can't be specific as I only found your website today. If I can find the exact date, I'll send it to you. I was on my own sitting on my covered deck on my farm overlooking the Nechako River as usual-enjoying the darkness and night air. I noticed a bright orange, fiery, round shaped object sitting above the river.

It did not move and seemed to radiate light in a star shape. I watched it for about 30 minutes and then went to bed. Next day I sat in the same position and looked over to where I had seen it. Because our deck is covered, we cannot see the stars. It must have been low over the river. Sorry I wouldn't like to guess how high up, but must only have been about no more than a few hundred feet. No noise came from it. I did not feel afraid.

Witnesses Report T Shaped UFO Over Smithers British Columbia

Date: August 31, 2010
Time: 9:00 p.m.

Hi, my name is (name removed) the Date is August 31st 2010. Smithers, B.C.

At 9:00pm we saw a flying object in the sky in a T shape, spinning in the sky. Then afterwards, and it is still going on at 10:40 pm. This bright orange light comes and goes in the sky then disappears, but it goes in circles around town in a stream. As we were driving, we looked over towards Tyhee lake, and there was a bright white light shining up from the lake with a bright orange light over top.

Then within seconds, it disappeared again. We tried to follow this light, but it goes to fast. It is still going around and this is since around 9:00pm tonight. Please email me and let me know what's going on, we tried to get video of the object, but it was too late, it disappeared and not even a minute after it disappeared, there was the bright orange light kind of like a fog circling Smithers British Columbia.
