Brian Vike Investigates Sasquatch Tracks In Northern British Columbia (Track Photos)


From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

A little history about Moricetown and it's kind people. Wet'suwet'en First Nation community is located north of the village of Smithers is called Moricetown, B.C.

The Wet'suwet'en people (kyah wiget) is one of five native communities living near or on Hwy 16. The valley around Moricetown Canyon was once a traditional fishing ground visited by five clans of the area.

Fishing the Bulkley River was a big part of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation way of living. The clans would first meet in Telkwa in the spring, mainly to visit and celebrate their heritage. Then later the 13 houses would pack up the village and proceed to Moricetown for their summer fishing season.

Using gaff poles (spruce tree pole with a steel hook and bound by rope) the First Nation fisherman would wait patiently perched high above the river standing on exposed river boulders waiting to strike and hook the fish as they swim by underneath.

Today, the First Nation still fish the river but use deep nets mostly.

In Moricetown, during the summer, the Wet'suwet'en First Nation people would erect smokehouses, drying racks and fish traps. The men would set out to catch fish while the women would hike up the mountain to collect herbs and medicines.

After returning the women would start to preserve the catch. In the fall, after catching fish the focus of the hunt would shift to mountain goats, ptarmigan and caribou.

Once sufficient preparation was completed, the Wet'suwet'en people would hold various feasts celebrating the harvest. The general meeting of all the people was an opportunity for the chiefs to deal with clan business and for trading goods among houses.

The feasts would last for days and would be celebrated by many houses. Many feasts later the clans would start to return to their villages in preparation for winter - each clan's departure date depending on the length of the journey back to their village.

Once home the clan would work on their longhouses, stacking firewood, and finishing repairs so to securely store their food on stilts inside. During the winter the elders and their wives would prepare for next seasons hunt and children would learn about hunting while maintaining the longhouses.

Moricetown is located 30 km west of Smithers and 31 km east of Hazelton, BC on the main highway of the region known as Highway 16. Follow the signs. Cannot miss the community.

It was just another early morning in Houston, B.C. I got up and turned on the computer and we went to feed the deer which were waiting as they do most mornings. I came back in, checked my computer and there I found a few UFO sighting reports which I still have to work on, but it was a telephone call that came in that grabbed my attention. A lady by the name of Melvina was so excited to tell me what had taken place in Moricetown behind her mother's home on March 8, 2009 after dark.

On Monday evening Melvina's mother heard an awful racket/strange and loud noise coming from the back of her property.

It certainly did frighten her as the sound was so very unusual and the dogs certainly were going wild over what was happening. She contacted her daughter and Melvina came down the next day to look into what took.

She put on a set of snow shoes and headed out into the forest. In the open areas, (not under any trees) the snow would have been approximately a foot and a half in depth. Under the trees the snow pack was only inches deep.

As Melvina made her way over the snow and under the low hanging spruce branches she glanced ahead of her to see tracks in the snow. Even from a short distance away the tracks appeared to be unusually large.

Soon she was shocked to find a large foot print that really should not have been there. Melvina did look around and after a short while she headed back to her mother's home, ran inside and told her mom what she had discovered and called the Peak FM radio station in Smithers, British Columbia as it was one of the closet media outlets. One of the staff members at Peak FM gave Melvina my telephone number and then she contacted me.

As I listened to her telling me some of the details of what she witnessed in the snow, I became more and more interested as I started to believe we may really have found something here. I asked when would it be okay for me to drive out so I could have a look at the tracks. Melvina said any time was fine with her.

Knowing the incident took place sometime after dark on March 8, 2009 and I got this call on March 9, 2009. I figured I had better get going as quickly as possible before bad weather moved in. I packed the necessary things I needed, and rang around some friends looking for some snow shoes.

I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door, into the truck and was driving out of Houston toward Moricetown here in British Columbia.

After my hour and a half drive I arrived in Moricetown and easily found Melvinas mother's home. There I met her mom, Melvina and three other family members. All were really kind to me, some bringing out there digital cameras to show me the pictures they took of the tracks.

After seeing these I was hooked and excited to get out to the back of the property to look around and see with my own eyes.

Five of us took our time walking over the hard packed snow until reaching the area where the tracks were discovered. To my surprise and excitement there they were, just as Melvina had told me.

Why I mentioned that I was surprised, is that I have taken many a long road trips to visit folks who have claimed to have had a UFO or Sasquatch encounter, only to find out someone's imagination was running a little wild! It can be more than frustrating!

Below is the first track I was shown. You will notice I do have a plastic ruler beside the foot print and this does not cover the entire length of the track. This one track measured 17 and a half inches in length and what appears to be three toes imprinted into the snow that can clearly be seen.

The width across the front part of the foot (outside of left toe to outside of right toe) measures seven inches in width. The arch part of the foot measures 5 inches across and at the back of the heel, this measured 4 inches wide. It sunk down 8 inches into the snow.


Next picture is another look at the track from a different angle.


Next picture shows the length of the stride of the creature which measured 3 and a half feet in length.


What I found really interesting was that there was a creek down a very steep incline. This was some steep hill and went a long way down to the bottom. The creature walked up the hill in about a foot and a half deep snow not breaking it's stride which were close to the same length, 3 and a half feet or better.

There was also another surprise for me, in one of the tracks at the back end of the heel, there we found droplets of blood caked into the hard snow.

This portion of the iced snow was dug out and brought back home with me so we could have it analyzed. Barb Campbell at UAD Research in Saskatchewan (Site Closed) will be receiving the blood sample and a hair sample for testing.

For the below picture, the blood never was tested, mainly due to the costs.


Next Picture shows trace with blood inside the track, This may have been blood from a Moose that did walk through the area. Made me wonder, was the Sasquatch following the Moose for food.


Next picture is a photo of a hair sample, although very hard to view. This will be tested to see if it is anything out of the norm. Update: Hair turned out to be a Moose hair. Thanks to Barb Campbell for her identifying the hair from a Moose after her testing.


Next picture is another photo of the same track, without ruler.


This gives an idea of what I was looking at, there are more photos, but I can't post them all.

I have added a few more pictures below.



The northern part of the province of British Columbia is certainly a hot spot for sightings of the Sasquatch.

In the latter part of 2008 numerous sightings were reported to me, also Sasquatch footprints were discovered in Burns Lake by a couple of Mormons.


Photos were taken of these as well. On my trip to Moricetown I found out about other Sasquatch sightings that have taken place in there last year and years past.


If anyone has been witness to Sasquatch, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Three UFOs/Lights Filmed From West Lethbridge Alberta (Photo)


From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

Date: August 15, 2008
Time: Evening.

Hi Brian, This was taken over Lakie school on the west side of Lethbridge. My name is (name removed). I also saw a large ship fly over my house, it came out of the sky like a cartoon, the sky opened up, and it came right towards me, it was tree level.

The ship was shaped like a cigar. I could see the material it was made of.

Additional Information: 

Hi Brian, The photo was taken with a cell phone camera, it might be difficult to send a larger version, and yes the strange lights appeared out of nowhere, and were only there for about a minute or two, they all shot off extremely fast in the same direction.


I think my friend sent you the same picture that I emailed to you. Thank you for taking a look at this photo.

Thank you to the witness for sending along the report and photo. 

Also the photo is copyright 2008 to the owner, meaning the person who took the picture.

Mass Sighting Of Bright Glowing Oblong Lights Filmed In Neguac New Brunswick (Pictures)


From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

Date: September 18, 2008
Time: 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Neguac, NB.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oblong lights.

Canadian UFO Investigator Brian Vike’s Note: From what the eyewitness told me in this report, there were a number of other eyewitnesses to this event.

Also someone took a photo of the object and was printed in the L'Acadie Nouvelle newspaper. If anyone else has any information on this sighting, would you be kind enough to send along the details of what you saw.

I have just written a letter to the L'Acadie Nouvelle newspaper in hopes of maybe getting a look at the photo, or finding other witnesses. Anyone with information can write to me at: sighting@telus.net or b_vike@telus.net. I do respect everyone's privacy.

Full Description of event/sighting: I don't generally buy into this type of thing, but while parked at a beach, myself, and two friends witnessed a bright glowing oblong object in the sky steadily grow brighter, then disappear. It occurred a second time, it was large, closer than the 'stars', but further out than low flying planes.


After speaking to people in town, a number of folks saw it as well who were in different areas of this part of New Brunswick, and everyone is incredibly perplexed.

One witness took a photo, and it was apparently published in the local newspaper (L'Acadie Nouvelle), but I have not yet been able to find a copy of that paper.

Also interesting to note, is that the next night we were looking in the same area, hoping to witness the same thing while we had a camera, but instead we saw a steady stream of air traffic, all following the same flight path.

In fifteen minutes we saw fifteen aircraft, of which there were three sets of pairs of smaller jets and one low flying large plane that looked similar to a Herc, all flying towards the area that the 'UFO' was reported, which is extremely out of the ordinary for this part of New Brunswick.


I feel pretty silly explaining this, but I have to say that my mind is boggled, as are the minds of many people around here. Mostly, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions as to how we can find out what this light may have been?

I have to thank the person who was kind enough to find the picture that was posted in the L'Acadie Nouvelle newspaper and for sending it along to me.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

4 Lights Circling One Another Over Edmonton Alberta


Date:  Winter of 2009 (?)
Time:  Late night.

Let me preface this by saying I don't know why I'm emailing you, but I was reading about some sightings on the website after thinking about my experience and some of them match up and it spooked me a little bit.

Me and a few good friends were going for a late night walk to the store, about six years ago in the winter months, I noticed way up at a very high altitude, almost satellite level, about 4 lights that were circling each other in rotation.

I managed to estimate where it was, and help the others see what I was seeing.

They circled each other for another five minutes and then just disappeared, needless to say we were very rattled and each remember the event to this day.

It's one of those things you just remember vividly no matter what, but don't really talk about.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Image Of A Spirit By Paul Williams


Does An Unusual Photographic Image Capture the Release Of The Human Soul?

In the new book, Image of a Spirit, Paul Williams shares what followed after he took a picture with a cell phone camera of the space surrounding his mother after she died.

Paul Williams has lived a full and adventure filled. Life. He graduated Harvard Phi Beta Kappa in 1965 and became an accomplished Hollywood film director, dated many beautiful women many of whom became famous in their own right. He was also a devoted son who spent the final weeks of his mom’s life with her in Manhattan. He was there with other family members when she died, on the morning of December 27, 2009.

He watched as the caring women attendants cleaned up his mom’s body and dressed her in her favorite blue shirt. He couldn’t be physical with his mother, so he kept his distance and watched the other prepare his mom for her final journey.

Having been a professional photographer, it was then, an hour and fort-five minutes after she died, that he instinctively grabbed his Blackberry smart phone and snapped a few photos looking above his mother towards the two devoted women and the beautiful, loving expressions on their respective faces as they hovered over her.
Picture Above: Left to Right: Miss P, Mom on her back, invisible-to-the-naked-eye psi figure, Melissa, me on my knees.

A few hours later, he uploaded the pictures to his Macbook laptop, and to his utter amazement, discovered a small--maybe six inches tall, blurry hominoid-like figure just above his mother’s body which had been captured by his cell pone camera.

Williams had taken tens of thousands of photographs in his life, had studied and even taught photography at Harvard.

But nothing prepared him for the image that was before him. The photos clearly showed a small utterly clear, distinct image of a person like entity. One of the women was bothered, even spooked by the images. They couldn’t shake the feeling that something was really weird.

Williams determined that there was no obvious conventional explanation for this small blurry figure. It could not be explained by stray reflections or other well-known optical mechanisms. That much was for certain.


What was in the photos? Was it a picture of his mother’s spirit?

Image of a Spirit is the story of Paul William’s experience as he sought to unravel the mystery of the images.

Williams went on a multi-year quest to determine the possible explanations for the captured images.

He shared the photos and sought advice from several Hollywood celebrities and colleagues.

He took the photos to experts for analysis and validation. He researched the possibilities and contacted with people with the highest credentials in the fields of photography, psi research, chemistry and energy science.

He met with Dean Radin, America’s leading scentist  in the field of psi phenomenon investigation. And he met with Loyd Auerbach, author of the classic ghost image referece, the 1996 ESP, Hauntings and Poltergeists.

He gave the photo to Digital Computer Photography expert Professor Hany Farid, in the Image Science Group at Dartmouth College. Dr. Farid developed with Adobe Corp. (Photoshop) the fool-proof  authenticator of digital photos – utilized by courts, the NY Times, and intelligence agencies. Farid performed the forensic evaluation and verified the authenticity of the photo.

Can a cell phone be used to prove the soul exists?

Image of a Spirit. 

What People Are Saying

I find the image captured an hour after the death, above the corpse, of the mother of Paul Williams, is a really interesting anomaly. It cries out for an explanation. What does it mean? I don't know, but I'd like to know more about it. I've never seen anything like it. This well-written story of Williams' odyssey to answer the question is lively, unexpected, and intriguing.”

ANDREW T. WEIL, M.D., Founder of the field of integrative medicine, famed author of Spontaneous Healing, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health, Healthy Aging and many others

I have never seen such a photograph before—a ”ghost” image that, one, was not amorphous and cloudlike and, two, was comparable to an actual person in continuous time and space—much less one a few inches away and dead less than two hours. I do not know of anyone taking a picture of a specific loved one, so soon after death.

DEAN I. RADIN, PhD, Senior Scientist of the Institute of Noetic Studies, author of The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena, Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality and others.

There are no extant photos captured in the same time and place as the deceased, nor are any so clear, taken in the modern era of photography.

LOYD AUERBACH, Author of ESP, Hauntings, and Poltergeists: A Parapsychologist's Handbook, A Paranormal Casebook: Ghost Hunting in the New Millennium and others

I confirm that the photo shows no signs of manipulation or alteration. In summary, except for the importing of the photo into iPhoto, I confirm that the image IMG00191.jpg is authentic.

HANY FARID, PhD, Professor, Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College, Inventor, in partnership with Adobe Corp. (makers of Photoshop) of the fool-proof forensic analysis system of digital photos.

From the Foreword:

“You are about to read a one-of-a-kind and likely history-making book.  I only have one concern about this book.  The book is so interesting, Williams’ life is so extraordinary (and eccentric), the author is so colorful and such a superb storyteller, that the scientific and spiritual significance of his apparent afterlife communication account may become overshadowed by his life.    

“Of course, this makes for fun reading, and I personally enjoyed the book immensely.  However, the primary reason I decided to write this Foreword was to make sure that you, the reader, recognize the potential profundity of what Williams has discovered, and what it might mean for science as well as our personal lives.”

GARY E. SCHWARTZ, PhD - Professor of Psychology, Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Surgery, and Director of the Laboratory for Post-Materialist Science and Spirituality, at the University of Arizona; author of The Afterlife Experiments, The G.O.D. Experiment, The Energy Healing Experiments, and The Sacred Promise Paul Williams.

The picture–-and everything that followed-- more than justified Paul Williams writing this extraordinary book, and you and me reading this book carefully. 

Also, since the reproductions in the "print-on-demand" Amazon version of the book had such poor quality reproductions, we are only offering the kindle version--no trade soft cover-- (I hope to get a quality publisher soon for a print edition for sale)…

Over 200 Witnesses Observe UFO And Beam Of Light In British Columbia (Written Report/Letter/Newspaper Article)


From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

(Witness) - I talked with a scientist at the HR MacMillan Space Center/Planetarium in Vancouver, British Columbia.

He seemed to not believe in UFOs nor even the some 10,000 Crop Circles worldwide phenomena.

He suggested what they saw was simply the International Space Station.

Canadian UFO Investigator Brian Vike's Note: The above text I typed up is from the letter as you will see. Everything else below is the letter I scanned in and posted. The only thing I removed, was anyone's personal information.

The name Carolyn is from the newspaper (Cranbrook Daily Townsman Newspaper - Article ran August 12, 2003)

I did speak to Carolyn and eventually an article was done over the sighting.

Also there was the International Space Station that did fly over around the time of the sighting, but the sighting was over something else.

Also, there was a Fireball that flew over around the same time of the sighting.

So we know of two things that flew over the entire area around the time the witness had their sighting.

What came next, I wasn't prepared for. When the newspaper ran the news article they included my contact, email, website at that time, and my phone number which I gave the OK for.

Well in came the first call, a witness was reporting what they saw, then another call, and another, and another. Honestly, the phone never stopped ringing. This went on for almost a week. People wanted to file a report as they saw the unknown thing as well. Actually the phone rang so many times I grabbed my fishing rod and we went out to the river to have a break.

It ended up I took well over 200 phone calls and a few emails from this sighting. I know some folks believe it was one of the two things I mentioned above, these being the International Space Station or a Fireball.

But what people reported to me was no Fireball or the International Space Station. This was something odd, what, I don't know. Maybe if people had the chance to listen to all of the mini audio tapes I have over this, they might think differently. So for me, this was a UFO event that so many people observed.

I wrote up an article which you can find here: Over 200 Witnesses Speak Out On UFO And Beam Of Light Sighting - We Want To Know! 
http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.ca/2010/12/over-200-witnesses-speak-out-on-ufo-and.html

Also, this took place just before the Missing Time case out of Kelowna, British Columbia.

I should add, that in the newspaper article I am mentioned under HBCC UFO Research. I did own and operated it, but sold the domains names and now run under “The Vike Factor”.

3 Bright Lights/UFO In Triangle Formation Explode From The Water At Kincardine Ontario (Written Report/Audio Interview)


From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

The Vike Report.

Report received January 29, 2007

Date: About 14-15 years ago
Time: 10:00 p.m. -11:00 p.m.

Brian, well I live in a small town called Kincardine. It's in Ontario on the Western shores of Lake Huron.

This is home to one of the worlds largest nuclear power plants, Bruce Power. This experience happened about 14-15 years ago. I was around 12 years old and it was the summer before I entered high school. So how ever old you are then.

Anyways, this is what happened, It's about 10:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m., myself and two friends at the time were on our bikes down at the harbor on our pier. We have two piers, a north and south pier.

We were on the north pier, because back then we had a diving board on the pier where everyone would hang out.

So we were out on the pier standing around talking about having a sleep-over out at my dads house. About 50 meters or so off the pier it looked like there was someone out in the water swimming. It looked like someone was doing the breaststroke, doing maybe 30 feet lengths back and forth, back and forth.

We didn't think anything of it really. So anyways my one buddies already knew he could stay the night, but my other buddy didn't as he had to ask his parents. So he took off on his bike back uptown to call his parents and ask.

Me and my other buddy stayed at the pier. About 10-15 minutes later he comes back. This is where things get weird.

So we notice that things still there, doing the same thing, same pattern like someone was swimming. Only out a little deeper, basically right out in front of the diving board now. Still parallel to the pier.

Now were starting wonder what this thing really is as were curious, right. We start walking towards the diving board, which is maybe 15 feet from where we were, asking each other "what is it?"

As we reached the diving board I yelled out, "it's a mermaid," joking around. Just as I finished yelling that, this thing stopped moving in the water and it looked like it looked at us.

It went under the water and exploded out of the water in 3 bright lights in the shape of a perfect triangle.

Maybe 10-15 feet between each light. This thing was out of the water and hovering literally 7-10 feet in front of us, off the pier in a matter of mille-seconds. Not a sound was made by this thing and deadly quiet.

It rotated one way coming out the water, stopped in front of us, hovered there for maybe 3-5 seconds then took off rotating the other direction out over the break-wall then up into the air and gone. I remember having to grab onto the diving board ladder because my entire body turned to, basically Jell-O and I could feel some sort of heat on my face.

After we could move again, we looked at each other and ran like hell. We left our bikes and just ran off the pier and it took us about an hour to go back to get our bikes.

This happened and I will never forget it. Feels like it happened yesterday. Back then I had no clue about UFOs and such things. We were all into our sports.

The only thing that came to our minds was a ghost, but as I got older I started seeing TV shows and documentaries about UFOs and now I'm 110% sure it was a UFO, and to be honest, I think we saw some sort of Alien species doing whatever it was doing in the water until we spooked it.

Maybe it hopped in it's craft and zipped up on us out of curiosity. It's a crazy story I know, but 100% the truth.

Thank you.

Eyewitness Drives Directly Underneath Saucer Shaped UFO Winnipeg Manitoba (Audio Interview)


 From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

The Vike Report.

Date: February 4, 1996
Time: 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: TransCanada Highway #1 at MB highway #5 intersection.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Saucer.

Full Description of event/sighting: I've seen what I would consider to be actual UFO's three times in my life, one during the day and two nighttime sightings. This isn't counting odd lights or some object that is so far away it could be anything, which I have also witnessed on several occasions, these were actual craft that I could see clearly.

The most memorable encounter of the three happened on the night of February 4, 1996 at about 11:00 p.m. at night. While driving on the main highway in rural Manitoba one night, I drove directly underneath a saucer-shaped UFO hovering about 50 feet above the road.

At the time I was living in Brandon and the man I was dating lived in Winnipeg, about 200 km away. Every Friday night after work I would make the two hour drive into Winnipeg and then return home Sunday night, usually leaving around 9:00 p.m..

I would invariably be tired and anxious to get home, so the bright street lights at the Carberry intersection at Highway 5 on the TransCanada Highway (a.k.a. the #1) was always a landmark that I watched for because it meant I only had half an hour left before I was home.

On this particular night it was quite cold (although not abnormally so for February in Manitoba) and I had left Winnipeg at around 9:30 p.m.. After checking my watch and doing some calculations I was thinking that by the time I hit the intersection it would be almost exactly 11:00 p.m., which meant I would be home by 11:30 p.m.. Having driven this stretch of highway often I knew exactly when to expect to be able to see the Carberry lights.

As they came into view, I noticed immediately that there were two other lights hovering just above the familiar streetlights. I kept watching these lights as I drove towards them and they didn't move at all, up or down or side to side. I simply couldn't imagine what they could be.

I later calculated that from the time I first saw the lights to the time I reached the intersection was about 7 km, so they were in my line of vision continuously for approximately 4-5 minutes before I reached them. As I got closer I could tell that these lights were hovering about 10-15 feet above the height of the streetlights.

If the poles are approximately 30 feet and the UFO was 15 feet above them, that would make it only about 50 feet off the ground, extremely close. As I approached the intersection I could tell that whatever this thing was, it was on the other side of the streetlights so I couldn't really see anything more than a dark saucer shape as I drove through the intersection because of the glare from the streetlights.

It wasn't until I was completely through the intersection could I look up and clearly see the UFO. I was driving in the passing lane because as I was coming up to the intersection there was a white van in the right hand lane that wasn't traveling quite as fast as I was, so I was in the left lane, or passing lane, going by it (the #1 is a divided highway).

We were traveling fairly close together as we passed through the intersection, so I know someone else had to be seeing what I was seeing. I also saw two other vehicles on the other side of the highway headed east towards Winnipeg and knew that they must be seeing this thing too.

I had kept my eye on the object the entire time as I got closer to it because I knew it had to be something very unusual. As I drove through the intersection and got past the glare, it suddenly came into sharp view. I was going to drive directly underneath it, it was right in front of me.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was round and flat, the typical "flying saucer" shape. I couldn't see the top of it of course as I was now quite close to it, but the bottom was very clear. The two lights that I had seen as I was approaching it were on the bottom of the craft and were different colours, but I honestly can't remember what they were, blue and white or yellow, I believe. There was also a third light (this one was red, if I remember correctly) that I had been unable to see until I was closer.

I remember thinking at the time that the craft perhaps had been tilted slightly towards the west with the side that was furthest from me (as I approached it) being slightly higher and that was why I hadn't seen the third light until then, or perhaps the convex bottom had prevented me from seeing it earlier.

The lights were set in a triangular pattern equidistant from each other. It was hovering over the left lane of the westbound highway, not in the middle, so my car drove directly underneath. As I looked up at it through the windshield I thought how it looked just like something out of a movie. It was metallic, dark but shiny, reflecting the lights from below. It was covered with what looked like machinery of some sort, all curvy tubes and pipes, all over the bottom of it except around the edge.

It was approximately 35-40 feet across and I did not hear any noise emanating from it (but I was traveling at about 90 km per hour so the road noise may have drowned out any subtle sounds it may have been making). As I mentioned it was only about 50 feet above me so I got a really good, close look at it, and the light from the intersection was illuminating it quite well.

I have wished heartily ever since that I had stopped that night but I didn't, for several reasons. First, it was late and I was tired and I had to be at work at 7:00 the next morning so I really wanted to get home to bed. Secondly, it was the middle of winter and it was, as I said earlier, fairly cold.

Also, I was by myself and was a little frightened by what I was seeing if I had been with someone else I probably would have been braver. And I was in the passing lane and the white van was still too close for me to change lanes again safely, and you shouldn't stop on the shoulder of the passing lane. However, I did get a really good look as I drove towards it and then under it.

It may or may not be pertinent to note that there is a Canadian Forces army base in Shilo about 25 miles southwest of this intersection.

Anyway, that's what I saw that night. I did arrive home at 11:30 p.m., so there was no weird time loss or anything like that. I'd be interested to know if anyone else reported seeing anything there that night, as there were definitely other witnesses.

Bright Orange/Red Colored Object Flew Over Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  February 28, 2015
Time:  10:30 p.m.

I wanted to share the UFO sighting we had last night at 10:30 p.m. in Victoria, British Columbia.

My cousin, best friend and I were all standing outside having a smoke chatting just off of Lampson Street by Head when my cousin looked up to the moon and said, “hey look at the UFO”.

We looked up and seen this bright orange red colored orb like disc flying towards downtown Victoria and at a very rapid pace.

We watched it go and even tried to record it, but my cousins phone was to dead to do so and before it dissipated, I ran inside and screamed UFO, at my rest of the friends inside and the three of them came running out and we were all in shock.

It lasted maybe 5 minutes or so, then it was just gone.

This is about the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen UFOs since July of last year, and this is the second time I’ve seen one with my cousin.

Any reason you can think of that they're showing themselves more often.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Bright Object Makes Unusual Maneuvers Across The Sky Over Smithers British Columbia


Date:  February 27, 2015
Time:  Approximately 10:00 p.m.

Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round, like a star.
Colour of Object: Bright.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I stepped outside of my apartment, when I noticed a bright light moving near a star at approximately 11 o'clock above me (to the west, closer to Hudson's Bay Mountain).

It seemed to move erratically with some stops, zig -zags and spurts of speed. There were no sounds overhead.

I watched it behave in this manner for approximately 5 minutes until it sort of "sputtered", and faded in and out and finally disappeared at approximately 2-3 o'clock in the eastern sky...near the mouth of the Big Dipper.

It most certainly exhibited some very unusual movements, quite unlike space junk or a satellite. Weird.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

8 Orange Red Coloured Objects/Lights Over Maple Ridge British Columbia


Date:  February 22, 2015
Time:  Approximately 6:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

I just read a blog on your website that described exactly what my husband and I witnessed that same night and time in the same neighbourhood (240th and 102nd).

The witness noted 2 orange orbs of flame travelling across the sky in the same direction just before dark.  We too witnessed these orangey-red orbs, but we actually watched at least 8 of them (from our upstairs window) travel in a northerly direction about 60 seconds apart, following the same path, and then just disappear.

We opened the window to see if we could hear a sound, but they were all silent and there were no blinking lights, definitely not any type of plane.

It was the first time either of us have witnessed anything like it, and after the first 6 had passed, we actually started to feel a bit frightened not having any idea as to what they could be.

Since then, we have been trying to find an explanation with no luck, but are now quite excited to discover that there were other witnesses!

Please let us know if you have any questions or need further detail.

Thank you.

UFOs - Red Lights Hover And Blue Lights Form Vertical Line In The Sky South Of Chestermere Alberta (Diagram)


Date:  February 28, 2015
Time:  11:40 p.m. - 11:45 p.m.

Hi there, my name is (name removed) and I am 31 years old. I am writing this to see if someone else possibly saw the same thing I did.

Last night at 11:40 p.m. - 11:45 p.m. is when I witnessed this strange object. I live on an acreage about 20km east of Calgary, Alberta and about 1km south of Chestermere.

There are no city lights to tamper my view of the sky. What I viewed appeared to be hovering over Calgary, or possibly in between Calgary and Chestermere. I let my dog outside and was calling him back in when I noticed a bright flashing red light gliding quite slowly, headed south.

I assumed at this point that it was simply a plane as we have a good view of flights headed in and out of the Calgary airport. But after watching it for about 10 seconds it began to slow down and came to a complete stop in the sky.

It then completely reversed it's direction and began to head back north. As soon as it changed directions, it started to flash red and blue lights. At this point I figured it must just be a helicopter. But once again, it slowed down to a complete stop.

At this point, the red lights stopped and the blue lights moved together to form a vertical line. My heart started to beat extremely fast at this moment as I realized that what I saw was not a plane nor a helicopter.

The blue vertical line of light hovered for about 5-10 seconds and then poof, it vanished into thin air!

I then went outside to see if maybe it flew into a cloud, but there were absolutely no clouds in sight and I had a clear view of the stars in the sky. I waited and watched for another 20 minutes or so hoping to see it again, but all I saw were planes.

I have viewed many planes (and helicopters) from this location and I am convinced it was neither. It appeared to be hovering a lot lower that most planes fly and the speed at which it moved is what is really baffling. The fact that it stopped, changed directions and then changed it's form into a line, is even more baffling.

I do not drink or do drugs and was not seeing things. I am simply writing this to see if anyone else witnessed this also.


Thanks for your time, Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
