Houston, British Columbia UFO Filmed (Video Footage)

Posted: December 28, 2007

Date: August 23, 2002 Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.

I had a telephone call from a lady telling me she had witnessed something really strange, and that it had really frightened her. She also told me that she had taken video tape of the object as it was heading away from her location, which was in a southwesterly direction. I made arrangements for the same day to visit and interview her over what she saw. I arrived at the witnesses home (farm) and was greeted by a very pleasant lady, she asked me into their home and we discussed what it was she had seen.

She said at approx: 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening, August 23, 2002 she was at the kitchen sink washing up the days dishes and looking out the window which over looks their large farm. Her eyes caught a large bright light heading down behind the trees, which was at the far end of the families farm. She told me she could clearly see the shape of the object, and it was cylinder in shape. Shinny and metallic in color.

To her surprise the object looped around and headed back up into the sky.

At this time of the evening, it was still quite light out, and she had no problem in seeing it. She ran a grabbed her video camera and took some film of the object as it departed the area.

The witness brought out her video camera and showed me what it was she captured on the tape, and I must say I was really surprised. My first thought when I saw the object on the tape, was that maybe it was a meteor, space junk, etc. but after hearing her explanation of the events this ruled out my thoughts on what it might have been.

If I had to explain what this object looked like, it looked exactly like one of the many movies we see of T.V., where a comet is heading towards earth with a contrail from the tip of it and running a short distance off the back end of it. But the contrail, if one wants to call it that, had another very shot tail coming out the back end, right in the center. It almost gave the impression of the flames coming from a fighter aircraft. But no flames could be seen with this object. The object was massive, and very bright.

It also moved across the sky rather slowly.

After I viewed the tape, the witness said, we are not finished yet. She went on to tell me that about a 25 - 30 minutes later, while she was finishing off the dishes she was working on, she watched another "large bright white" object rise up from behind the Telkwa mountain range. She said straight up, in other words from the base of the mountain heading to the top and then stopped and hovered. Again she ran to grab her video camera, and started filming this object. After she watched it rise up from behind the mountain, the object moved to the right along the top of the range. ( HBCC UFO Note: this is where the video camera ran out of tape, but the witness did think to run and grab another blank tape, and started rolling again).

When she started filming the object once again, it had already reached the end of the mountain range, and was dropping down, but following the contour of the mountain. She filmed it until it went down behind the trees on her property which blocked the view of the object. The mountain range is at some distance away from the family's farm across the Bulkley Valley. I wondered if it might be something explainable, but from her description of the event, I soon ruled that out.

The witness dropped into my home the next day to drop off a couple of things I had left behind after the interview and she was still rather frightened due to not knowing what this object was. She said it gave her the creeps and hoped I would be able to come up with a reasonable explanation to what it was, just to make her feel better about the whole experience.

Important note from HBCC UFO Research on this case:

On August 23, 2002 at approx: 7:00 p.m. I (Brian Vike) jumped from my chair in the living room, giving out a yell for my wife to quickly come and look at what I was observing. My wife joined me at the picture window and we both watched the exact same object travel across the sky. After watching the object for a very short period of time I thought of grabbing the video camera, so I ran and brought the camera back only to watch the end of this sighting.

Also what is important here in this entire event is that the object was filmed by the lady who resides west of Houston, only a few miles out of town. She filmed the cylinder shaped object until it disappeared, or she lost sight of it, but about a 25 - 30 minutes later a large bright object rose up from behind the Telkwa mountain range, hovered, then slowly moved westward, then dropped down along the edge of the mountain range. She and I both figured the two sightings were connected as the large bright object that rose up over the mountain was where the cylinder shaped object finally disappeared to.

On another note, there were folks out at the end of Francois Lake which as the bird fly's is not that many miles from Houston, B.C. The folks from Burns lake had contacted me here at HBCC UFO Research and reported they saw exactly the same thing the lady filmed and I saw on the same evening.

The couples report Below:

Hi, I just adding my story to your list of sightings. I don't believe in space ships etc., but we did see something I could not understand, or have an explanation for. On August 23rd about 9:00 p.m. just before dark my husband decided he wanted to take a picture of the sunset at the west end of Francois Lake looking west up the valley to Nadina Mountain. We drove down to the bridge which runs over the river. My husband got out and spent several minutes taking 3 or 4 shots of the sky to the west. While he was doing this I stayed in the car and watched the sky, thinking that I could see just the smallest sliver of a moon peeking from behind the trees. When he got back into the car, I said something to my husband about getting the moon in a sunset shot, he said what ? That is impossible, the moon can't be in that part of the sky, so what are you thinking ? So I said look at that sliver of light next to the trees, it has been there the whole time you were taking pictures, if it isn't the moon what is it ?

He asked if it had moved. I said no not at all, then while we were looking at it the light did start to move westward. We both watched and puzzled over this for several minutes then I said that he should try and get a picture of what ever it was. My husband grabbed his binoculars first and we spent a couple more minutes trying to see what it was that we were looking at. Finally as it was moving farther off he snapped a picture of this light that we could not define and then we left. Today we got the pictures developed and there is this light far off, but still obviously incandescent and to our surprise we find two other similar objects, but more distant lights in the photo. I will forward a picture to you when I can get it scanned. I see you have had one other report from Francois Lake, can you tell me what that one was about ? Bye now.

HBCC UFO Research has added the two video clips, plus a number of photos of the object seen on August 23, 2002 in the media section.
