Date:  January 26, 2019
Time:  Early evening.

Cove Beach looking just north of Blue Mountain. Several lights fading then growing stronger. Moving. Some hovering over the lake then disappearing perhaps into water.

Round/Disc Shaped UFO Or Radioactive Meteorite Collingwood Ontario (Newspaper Clipping)


I received this fascinating report on January 6, 2019.

Date:  Summer of 1965 (?)
Time:  Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Hello Brian, my name is (removed) and I am retired and live in Lake Country, British Columbia, but grew up in the mid-sized southern Ontario town of Collingwood until I left in 1969. I am wondering whether you would be able to suggest a direction for me to pursue as a (late!) follow-up on a UFO sighting I shared with my family and a friend of mine back in the summer of 1965? It’s an experience seeking an answer that I’ve carried around in the back of my head for over 50 years now!

Briefly, around 9:30 p.m. we sighted a round/disc shaped UFO for about a 30-60 second duration. The following morning some potential physical evidence/residue was reported, retrieved, measured locally and sent off for further analysis. There was no mention of the UFO in the resulting newspaper article since we were likely the only people who witnessed it.

We called the local radio station shortly after our sighting and they hadn’t heard a thing. The item reportedly had substantial measurable radioactivity (‘75% of a possible 90%’) and it was suggested to be a meteorite. The local police notified some people at the University of Toronto (I am pretty sure it was U of T) and personnel were dispatched from there to collect and analyze it. After that, zero information, trail ends!

A radioactive meteorite is more than a rarity. From what I can determine there has never been a documented case measuring in the range this one apparently registered. We didn’t witness the UFO ejecting anything but the trajectory and timing may be much more than a coincidence. The suggestion that the object is related to the UFO and in fact may represent some physical evidence is, to me extremely tantalizing.

I have a copy of the related newspaper report on the “meteorite” from the archives of the local paper. I can share more detail as required, but for the sake of brevity on this e-mail I kept to the basics.

My thoughts are to find a local enthusiast/sleuth (from the home town of my youth or nearby) who has the interest and tenacity to find out more about the radioactive “meteorite”. Perhaps there is a regional UFO association with members who would take this on. I would be more than willing to work with any local dedicated party from my distant current residence.

What do you think?

I’d appreciate any feedback.

Brian Vike’s Note: I had the fellow contact Chris Rutkowski in Canada as if anyone would have information on this, I think Chris might.

Additional Information:

Thanks Brian for you quick response.

The only person who may still be around is my school chum whom I haven’t been in touch with since the early 70’s. I will try to track him down. My mother and father were the other 2 witnesses and are both deceased. A 5th  party (missed the sighting (nature had called him to the loo) became extremely agitated when he entered the excited atmosphere immediately following our sighting. ‘Agitated’ is putting it mildly, he was extremely upset because he refused to accept that we were serious!

He too I’ve lost touch with, he was from Anne Arbor, Michigan. He ended up in Vietnam and we were still corresponding then, but at some point he quit responding. I thought the worst, but I never found his name on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, so that is a positive. As a side-note 9  months later he was totally freaked out once again when the “swamp gas” (Hynek’s handle) UFO flap occurred in his own backyard.

I will reach out to Chris Rutkowski thank you. Yes I would like to remain nameless where possible although I suppose it doesn’t much matter at this point in my life. The reason I was reluctant to pursue in previous years had more to do with the time I devoted to my family and career along with the inevitable dose of ridicule which accompanies personal UFO confessions. Although I’m certain there is more acceptance today than years prior.

I have attached a scan of the article and if you think appropriate.

Again, thanks for your assistance.

Brilliant Arc Shaped Object Oshawa Ontario


Date:  September 29,2018
Time:  4:45 p.m.

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Arc shaped.
Colour of object: Brilliant White.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Today Saturday, September 29, 2018 at 4:43 p.m. EST I was admiring clear skies just perfect for a UFO watch. 

I took my camera on full 30 X zoom southward over Lake Ontario. Distance 3- 4 miles away - 3- 5000 feet in altitude a guess when I noticed this strange white aerial anomaly moving across the sky east to west.

I then turn on my video at full zoom as it moved miles across the sky, it's appearance look 'arc' shaped and brilliant white in color, more in length than roundness.

Bright Light Observed Two Times Over Crofton British Columbia


Date:  December 30, 2018
Time:  5:00 a.m.

This month December 2018, I have seen a bright light 2 times over Crofton.

It was near tree line, hovering, then slowly moved up over trees. Then disappeared. I have had problems with my internet and cell phones.

I dropped my niece this morning (December 30, 2018) around 5:00 a.m. at Nanaimo airport and on the way back I could see the ball of light in the sky.

It would be in direction east over ocean. The other sighting was a week before Christmas.


Additional Information:

Yes it was again in the east above trees. Seem to be between Crofton and Salt Spring Island. Around the same time as first sighting. 4:30 - 5:00 a.m.

My daughters saw this also. There were other sightings in Crofton above the ocean, 3 orange balls blinking, fading in and out, then moving up into sky then disappear.

One of my daughters saw this too. This was before the other ones, in the east again. In the evening, I don’t remember the time & date. I thought they were planes, but they did not fly like planes.


Thank you.

Pillar Of Orange Light St Albert Alberta (Video)


Date:  December 28, 2018
Time:  From approximately 8:35 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Hey, yep so I saw the bright light from my clinic in St Albert and so did my colleague (and many others according to a St. Albert Facebook page.). My colleague's brother and my friend saw it from 137 Avenue area.

I have pictures from both locations.

Lots of people suggesting that it was due to the large flares at the refinery yesterday, with the light from that reflecting off the ice crystals in the air.

It was phenomenal to watch. Lasted about 25 minutes, from approximately 8:35 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

She Won’t Forget The Night Of The Hovering Blue Capsule Shaped Object/UFO


Date:  Late August 2008.
Time:  After midnight.

Report received August 26, 2018.

I found your site while entering a description of what  saw in Google search.

It was late August of 2008 when this occurred. I was up late watching "The Bishop's Wife" an old black and white film. Usually, I would fall asleep when watching it and had never seen the ending. The film ended and I was congratulating myself on having finally seen the whole thing.

I turned off the TV and took a plate into the kitchen, rinsed it off and put it in the dishwasher. I say all this to illustrate I was wide awake. It was about 1:30 a.m. and I put the leash on my little dog to take him outside. I looked across the street that winds through the community of condos at a neighbor's house and there was a glowing lavender-blue capsule-shaped object, roughly the size of a door or telephone booth and suspended without any support in mid-air, with the bottom of it at the level of the gutter of the two-story condo. The roof of the condo was a hip roof.

There was no noise emanating from the capsule and I had the feeling that whatever had been inside it was not inside, but outside. In the area where I live at the time of year in question, there is a lot of summer night noise, crickets, tree frogs and katydids etc. at night, but it was absolutely silent. I had an eerie feeling and while part of me wanted to explore further, you know, walk up closer and get a better view, I was so creeped-out that I just wanted to go back inside.

I had the distinct feeling that if I was watching it, then it was also watching me. I locked the French door and closed the blinds. I thought briefly of turning out the lights and going out the front door to be less noticeable, but it was so eerie that I decided against it. I did turn out all the lights and went upstairs to look out the window that was directly above the French door (the side of my building that faced the object).

I half-expected it to be gone, but it was still there. I watched for several minutes and then went to bed. But I set my alarm for two hours so I could check and see if it was still there. When I got up, it was still there so I set my alarm for another 2 hours. I wondered if I would be able to see it better and identify when it got light outside.

When I got up 2 1/2 hours later, as it was just becoming light out, it was gone.

I moved from the condo two months later (to Ireland for a few months), but have since driven by that spot (I've even used Google street view maps to revisit where I saw the capsule, estimating the height of it, reliving in my head the strangeness of that night. At times there seems to be an influence to forget about it, to "go back to sleep", but I know it was real. I was wide awake when it happened, I felt it's presence,-as if someone had come quietly into a room, but you still know they are there. There was also the sense at the time that I should just let it get on with the business of why it was here.

I have tried Googling glowing blue capsule shaped object, but cannot find any photo of what I saw. It looked rather like a "bug zapper" without any housing or hanging apparatus--- but it was exactly that color.

Has anyone else reported anything like this? Sometimes I feel obsessive or anxious about it, wanting validation that this really was a sighting and alternately there's the feeling from outside myself to forget it, like something wants me to forget about it.

Thank you for allowing me a forum to share my story.

A Large Orange Object Hovering Close To The Clouds Guelph Ontario


Date:  June 16, 2018
Time:  Evening.

Hi, last Saturday my friend was having a horseshoe tournament in his backyard in Guelph when we spotted a large orange pulsating object hovering very close to the clouds.

It moved to the left very slowly and then to the right and headed out to space while speeding up. It was a big surprise.

Bright Light Lit Up The Entire Sky Near Black Diamond Alberta


Date:  2017 ?
Time:  Evening.

I did have one other encounter back when I was around 18 while camping with 3 friends near Black Diamond Alberta. I think the river we were camping by is called the Sheep River.

We were playing cards at the pick-nick table, (it was private land, we had permission to camp on it). 

We heard something go through the river so we got into the camper for some safety in case it was a bear. Not long after we went into the camper and continued playing cards it was pitch black night outside. All of a sudden the sky lit up super bright white, I looked out the window and it was blinding bright.

It was lit for from what I recall for a couple minutes roughly. Then just as quickly as it came it was gone completely. There was no sounds outside when the light was shinning.

Not sure what it was. No alcohol or drugs were ever involved.

Dark Grey To Black Metallic Triangular Shaped Craft/UFO Elmira Ontario


Date:  August 2012 ?
Time:  Approx: 3:00 p.m.

Hi Brian Vike, I just saw this story about the sighting over Elmira, Ontario from February 25, 2012.

I had a similar sighting when I was 13 while living in Elmira coming back from a chestnut hunt.

On my way home I sighted a dark Grey to Black Metallic "Triangular" shaped object moving to my right from in front of me. The corners were smooth, it made no sound and I didn't see any window type openings at all.  

It was large, it slowly moved across the mostly sunny day in August around 3:00 p.m.

When I got home I told my mother what I saw. She put the radio on and people were calling the radio station mentioning they saw what I saw.

An Amazing UFO Event Southern Vancouver Island British Columbia

Date:  June 8, 2013.
Time:  Approx: 11:15 p.m.

Hi Brain. Just wondering if you know of any others that saw these things?

This is a recollection of something that I witnessed on June 8, 2013.

On June 8, 2013, I was out having a smoke on my shop deck at about 11:15 p.m., I looked up into the absolutely clear night sky and off toward the southwest off the coast of Southern Vancouver Island, I saw this basketball sized bluish-white glowing orb appear out of what looked like a misty white tube that had also appeared.

The orb had a very bright white center about the size of Venus in the night sky, all around it, to bring to a basketball size, was a vibrant and swirling whitish transparent electrical field that danced about like one of those static electricity balls.

Now if that was not enough to make me shake my head and check my eyes, a second one emerged from what I can only describe as some kind of wormhole, about 5 seconds after the 1st one appeared. I could see the orb appear partially and a bit more until it was in full view.

Now I am really shaking my head! Then, about 10 seconds after the 2nd ship appeared, a third one emerged in the same way as the other two did. The mist dissipated and the three orbs glided Northward for a couple of seconds. The electric fields were turned off and that left 3 golden-orange orbs hovering just to the west of my house.

One of them began zipping in a triangular direction covering a good mile in less than a second and then joined back with the other two before all three of them flying off to the Northwest at incredible speed.

So the next week was almost all clear nights. I noticed that the orbs were crossing the skies at various times. Some stopping and then going backwards, some would slow and speed up. One night two came together from different directions and then flew away together. They continued this until the night of June 15, 2013.

On the morning of the 16th the largest meteor I have ever witness passed over the exact spot where the 3 ships had 1st appeared. It was about 6:00 a.m., where I am. The meteor left a trail that covered most of the Southwest sky from my view. It went from East to West as it passed over, the trail must have been at least 5 miles wide and the meteor lit up the entire sky as if it was 12 o-clock noon. I never heard one single word about this event anywhere in the world.

Two Large Star Shaped Objects Presqu'ile Provincal Park Near Brighton Ontario


Date:  May 18, 2018.
Time:  Midnight.

I saw something very similar to this last night (May 18/2018) while camping at Presqu'ile Provincal Park near Brighton Ontario. It was almost midnight.

I saw two large star shaped orbs like the photo with a smoke trail above them. Thing was, the two would illuminate consecutively, then burn out, then a single light would do the same further east. The pair and the single alternated about 3 times each.

The pair would illuminate and burnout at the exact same time and the single would light up immediately after. I find that strange for flares.

I would have ran to my tent for my camera, but I was mesmerized. I knew I should have, but just didn’t want to move. Also strange.

Four Orange/White Objects Mississauga Ontario


Date:  June 16, 2016.
Time:  Approx: 10:15 p.m.

Tonight about 10:15 pm, I saw an orange light moving briskly across the sky form East to West. As it moved further West, it disappeared, or rather changed to white and became less visible as it moved to the West.

As it disappeared, a second light appeared in the East. As that orange light changed and disappeared in the West, another appeared in the East. We saw four in total. Very unusual.

There was no sound, just silence from the objects. Could not tell if it was close or far away. The speed at which it moved across the sky made me think it was relatively close, but I couldn't hear any sound from it so that made it seem far away.

The intensity and quality of the lights also made me think it had to be close. They were moving in a straight line. Each followed the exact path of the previous.

I saw four, but there could have been more before I noticed. I don't believe they could have been drones, but I can't rule it out.

Lighted Craft/UFO Descends Into The Woods At A Near By Golf Course Carp Ontario


Date:  1980’s
Time:  Evening.

There was some strange stuff happening in that whole area in the late 80s. Many credible people including police officers reported sightings.

A friend of mine was working on a golf course in the evening and saw a lighted craft descend into the woods near the course, take off again and several minutes later a helicopter followed.

He only told a few of his friends about it.

When it comes to this kind of thing, there are people who have seen it and those who have not. Seeing it changes you forever.

Bright Light Freaks Out Witness Carp Ontario


Date:  1989
Time:  Unknown.

Hi, I read your story about seeing a strange craft in Carp, Ontario many years ago. I lived just outside Carp, Ontario from 1986-1991 on 2.5 acres of country property in a small subdivision.

In 1989 I was 12 years old and one evening I was laying in bed, not asleep yet in my room on the second floor of our house. My window faced west. Out of nowhere and without any sound, a very bright light travelled from one side of my wall to the other.

Our house backed on to acres of trees. I shot out of bed and looked out my window for a few minutes and saw nothing. I have always wondered what it was.
