UFO's Over Nairn - The Story Continues

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Regular readers will remember the Valentine's Day UFO story that featured in the Gurn last month. The story continues yet again in the Highland News. A Culloden man has come forward to say that he has seen the UFO four times now:

'But Mr. Jackson has now come forward to dismiss this theory and even has his mum as an eye witness to strange goings on in the night skies along the Moray Firth coast.

"I know what I saw but it was definitely not a love lantern or a Chinese lantern. It was far too big and it did not flicker from the centre. It was shaped liked a helicopter or truck cab and it travelled at between 150-200mph, so it could never have been a lantern," Mr. Jackson told the HN.

"I am just an ordinary guy and am not a crank. I felt after reading these silly stories about the love lantern all I want is verification. I can't believe this was seen by myself and nobody else."

He said the love lantern was set off in the Cairngorms at 6pm and the light he saw was at 8pm.

Mr. Jackson, a self-employed bathroom fitter, said he has now had FOUR sightings of the UFO. And the second was witnessed by his mother Anne.

Last month we described how the Valentine's Day sighting was reported on the website of Canadian paranormal researcher Brian Vike.

Mr. Jackson had sent an anonymous blog to the website describing how he spotted the UFO approaching Nairn from the east on February 14.

He turned up the Grantown Road to get a closer look to see the fireball-like object travel in a north north-easterly direction.

He was so amazed he phoned his girlfriend and mother before reporting it to the local police station. '

Strange Lights Seen In Sky Over Dundas

 Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

(January 13, 2010)

Did you see something strange Friday night?

A British Columbia UFO chronicler and paranormal expert is reporting eyewitness accounts of strange vertical lights in the sky over Dundas and Waterdown.

Brian Vike, who heads his own HBCC Centre for UFO Research, says on his blog The Vike Factor the lights were seen around 8 o'clock.

One witness told Vike he and five friends were out for a walk and watched vertical lights in the sky for 30 minutes, a throbbing orange one which faded in and out and a second red vertical one.

The witness says one light had a circle opening in it which looked like an eye. Then the red lights faded after five more minutes, he said.

"As we looked down the escarpment, we could see a curved line of vertical white lights in the sky above us leading down," he said.

"Also around the same time there was white flashing light in the sky.

"It was a flash of bright white light (which) looked as if it was in mid air but because it was dark, we couldn't tell if there was an actual source or not, (because) if there was it'd have to be in the harbour."

Hamilton police were not aware of any calls reporting strange lights in the sky over Dundas Friday night.

Another witness tells Vike he was driving between Waterdown and his Dundas home when he saw three orange vertical lights that seemed to originate from a source close to the ground, go up through a clouded area and on up into the sky.

The witness thought they could be "light pillars," a visual atmospheric phenomenon created by the reflection of light from ice crystals from a light source such as the sun or moon, but they are not usually seen from several viewpoints.

That’s No UFO . . . It’s A Space Station

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Advocate Staff.

July 7, 2010 1:25 p.m. News.

A UFO investigator says there is a perfectly logical explanation for a set of strange lights being reported in the night sky in Central Alberta.

A handful of people from the area, including one person from Blackfalds, have contacted him after seeing a bright light moving across the southern sky. Adding to the intrigue, a dimmer light was seen following it for awhile, as if attached, and then suddenly darting away.

No worries, says Brian Vike, a self-taught UFO researcher from Houston, B.C., and creator of the web blog, The Vike Factor, Into the Paranormal.

Conditions have been perfect for watching the International Space Station and, from time to time, the space flights that deliver its supplies. That is most likely the dimmer light that was seen following the space station and then seeming to dart away, Vike said on Tuesday.

People living close to Red Deer can see the space station for themselves on Thursday.

The station will appear lightly over the west-southwest horizon at 10:35 p.m. But make sure you’ve got a good angle on the horizon and don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

Information posted on the NASA’s Skywatch website has it up for only three minutes, reaching a maximum height of 27 degrees.

Depending on where you’re watching from in relation to the space station’s orbit, it can be directly overhead on some nights, said Vike.

Internet users interested in finding out when the space station will be visible can go online to spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html for an interactive menu based on the country and city in which they are located.

Vike also noted a separate investigation recently after receiving numerous reports, dating back to New Year’s Eve, of bright orange lights in the sky.

“Think about it. They’re on days like July 1,” says Vike.

He has determined that the lights are actually Thai or Chinese lanterns, alternately called UFO balloons.

Commonly lit during the same special occasions that call for fireworks, the devices work much like a hot-air balloon, with a candle lit inside a globe.

The unit rises as the air in the globe warms up. From a distance, it’s quite bright and could be difficult to identify, said Vike.

Tiny Flying Saucer With Tiny Alien Critter And "The Day The Earth Stood Still" - Brian Vike (The Vike Factor)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Over the years I have met a lot of wonderful people who related their UFO experiences to me. A lot of these stories are nothing short of amazing and I did what I could do to find something on the cases.

Most of the time I came up short, but even then, I made some wonderful contacts in the media, police, airports, etc., who for a few cases passed along information which did go hand in hand with a case I was working on.

Then there were some others who sent along some really cool things they had made from scratch. In the picture below it shows me holding a little “Flying Saucer” with a tiny Alien critter, I just love this, been always sitting in from of me when working on cases.

If you take a look behind me on the wall, there is an awesome poster of "The Day The Earth Stood Still", this also was a gift from a super guy and the movie is one of my favorites.

I do have a lot of reports in the inbox and will start on Saturday trying to get some posted, and reply to a lot of people who sent the sightings in.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at houstonbri7@gmail.com with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

UFO "Sightings" In Elderslie

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article

The Daily Record.

By Alison Rennie.

Eagle-Eyed believers have told of spooky sightings of UFOs flying high in the sky above Renfrewshire.

Two residents in Elderslie contacted a leading UFO website to tell how they spotted glowing orange-coloured objects moving around as they tailed planes coming in and out of Glasgow Airport.

Now UFO experts are urging Buddies to be on the alert amid suggestions that aliens could be keeping an eye on Paisley.

Brian Vike, director of the HBCC UFO Research organization, told the Paisley Daily Express that sightings of unidentified flying objects are becoming more common in Renfrewshire.

He said: “This year, there appears to have been an increase in sighting reports coming in and many of these are of orange-coloured objects or lights.

“In Renfrewshire, there are sightings being reported but, for each case, there may be many more UFO sightings not being reported for many reasons.

“People are afraid that their personal information will be made public and then the ridicule starts and, at times, it can become frustrating and down right annoying for the person who is just reporting what they saw.”

One of the Elderslie residents who contacted Brian’s website told how they were fascinated by what they saw.

“We saw the orange moving objects quite far apart outside the front of my home and went to the back of the house to watch them,” said the eyewitness. “They were about a mile from Glasgow Airport and were able to observe planes arriving and taking off from the airport at the same time but these two objects were much higher and moving quite slow.

“These did not have landing lights on them, just an orange glow.”

Brian believes the truth is out there – and he has advice for anyone who does see something unusual in the sky above Renfrewshire.

He said: “When folks witness something strange in the day or night sky, they should make note of the time and the day it was observed.

“Also, it is good to know if the sighting took place around a military base or test area or an airport.

“I guess it boils down to common sense. Record as much detail about what a person observes and certainly file a report to someone who works in the UFO field.”

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said they had no reports of suspicious activity above Glasgow Airport.

He added: “The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorized military activity.

“Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported.”

Vike To Be Part Of Documentary

Newspaper Article

By Neil Horner  Mar. 30, 2012 5:00 a.m. NEWS

UFO researcher to do a shoot for the Discovery Channel

Houston B.C.-based UFO researcher Brian Vike is no neophyte to the field, having been a fixture in B.C. with his website, The Vike Factor, for many years.

Because of this, he is a sought-after commodity for those interested in the phenomenon and he is currently scheduled to travel to Vancouver to do a taping for the Discovery Channel as part of a documentary about an incident in Kelowna in 2003.

In that incident, he said, two women driving near the city saw a series of green lights in the sky that hovered over top of them before dropping down to follow them as they raced back to town.

“The next morning they woke up and one of them had blood coming out of her nose and their was a big burn on one of their backs,” Vike said. “They were a real mess.”

Vike said the women later appeared on the Montel Williams Show to tell their story.

“The interesting thing is, there were numerous witnesses who saw a green light drop out of the sky that night,” Vike said. “Something happened that night, but I don’t know what. It’s a big case.”

Little Green Valley Men

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article

By Todd Hamilton

The Interior News.

There must be something in Northwestern B.C.’s water.

Seldom does a week go by without the phone ringing and some anonymous person on the other end asking|: Has anyone called you this week about seeing something?”

A year ago, we ran a full page story on the Houston-Smithers-Terrace UFO triangle.

According to Brian Vike, a ufologist based out of Houston , this area is alien-sighting central.

So much so, Vike was named one of the 100 most influential people in ufology today by Fate magazine.

Fate, which is subtitled True reports of the Strange and Unknown is a full colour monthly that has been published since 1948.

“I guess it’s quite an honour,” Vike said. “I don’t know exactly how many researchers there are around the world, but it must be thousands.”

As explained sightings in the Bulkley valley go, thousands may also be the number.

Back to the phone call, “Mr. Fox” I’ll call him, wanted to know about strange light he saw above Hudson Bay mountain in late August.

The sheepishness of his voice suggested he was genuinely perplexed and not a potential wing-nut who just finished last call at the neighbourhood pub.

“Have you seen anything,” he asked. “Well,” I replied. “Back in early August ….

I then recounted my own little Bulkley Valley-little green men story.

Briefly, myself and a couple of other people were standing on Broadway Avenue amazed at a bright, orange light crossing the sky.

As a skeptic, it looked like a jet contrail illuminated by the setting sun, but there was no jet and the contrail didn’t extend back much of a distance. To top it off, there wasn’t that tell-tale trail of white smoke as a jet passes overhead.

I hurried into the newspaper office and grabbed a camera… and snapped off a bunch of shots.

For 20 years I’ve been pain to take photos, and even won an award or two, but now I understand why all those “photographic proofs” are so bad – photographing aliens is tough work. We stood there for at least five minutes in the middle of the street gawking and collectively wondered what the hell it was.

Then it was gone.

So when Mr. Fox asked me if I saw something, I had to tell him yes, then I gave him Vike’s phone number and told him, that was the guy to talk to – either to join the legion of growing Valley believers or at least as a catharsis.

Are we alone ?

For myself, I’ve seen an object flying overhead and I was unable to identify it. Does that mean little green men are landing out near New Hazelton and playing in the hay fields? I doubt it.

But if we’re not alone, and you have proof--- phone Vike, not me. Not unless the photos are clear and publishable. And by the way, get the alien’s name, hometown and keep your submission to under 250 words in length.

Live long and prosper.

UFO Man Looks For Ghost Stories

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article

By Jennifer Lang.

Terrace Standard News.

October 30, 2002.

ALL HALLOW'S EVE Legend has it that the souls of the dead are closest to the living at this time of year. Oct. 31 is the date of the Celtic New Year, Samhain, when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is the thinnest and the souls of those who have died during the year bid farewell. Maybe that's why our thoughts turn to ghouls and ghosts and things that go bump in the night.

Or maybe it's the longer nights. Whatever the reason, ghost stories - especially "true" ghost stories - hold an irresistible fascination for many readers. Surprisingly few published reports of hauntings originate from northern B.C., however.

"There's lots of stories around - it's getting people to talk," says Brian Vike, the northwest's resident researcher on the paranormal. Vike, who lives in Houston, B.C., is collecting true ghost tales for his new journal, The Canadian Communicator, a publication devoted to topics like UFO sightings, lake monsters and sasquatches, hauntings and crop circles.

His first issue explored one ghost story in detail, but it came from Ontario, says Vike, who's better known as a UFO investigator who's tracked down an impressive number of first-hand accounts of UFO sightings from northwestern B.C. residents. But so far, he's investigated few local ghost stories.

"I know they're around," he says. "I've been trying to gather some from around here." Vike has now collected more than 100 UFO reports from people in Terrace, Smithers, and even Seward, B.C. The majority stem from a string of sightings across Highway 16 earlier this year. He's also a frequent guest on radio shows - local, regional, national and even international [one Mexican interviewer provides a simultaneous translation for his listening audience when Vike appears on his show].

UFO Sighting In Telkwa And Houston, B.C.

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article

By Nicole Fitzgerald The Interior News Smithers, B.C.

The Interior News.

On July 29, winding down from a day on his Telkwa farm, Gordon Stewart settled into his chair facing two bay windows, overlooking the valley for a late-night movie. At 10:45 p.m., a bright light flashed by his field of vision, raising him from his chair, astonished at the peculiarity and speed of the sight.

After walking onto the front porch for a clearer view, only silence filled the valley sky smudged with light cloud cover. He called the RCMP. There was no air force activity in the area. He woke his wife Joanna, who had already turned in for the night without hearing or seeing anything. On sharing his description of the round, white light with a yellowish hue, he learned his wife had seen the same light in the same location a couple of months earlier.

"I didn't want to tell him because he'd think I was crazy," Joanne recounted. Earlier that evening at 10.20 p.m. in Houston, a Canfor employee stepped from a forklift to examine a phosphorescent like white ball of light with yellow undertones, which appeared to hover, before slowly crawling across the sky line.

The worker called out to two fellow co-workers who caught sight of the glowing light, which grew a tail as it gained momentum. The phenomenon gained speed towards Tweedsmuir Park and shot out of view over the horizon.

"I called them over because I wanted proof that I saw something and that I wasn't crazy," the Canfor employee explained. Despite having two witnesses, the Canfor employee wished to remain anonymous.

Despite his wife having seen the same phenomenon's, Stewart was relieved a similar sighting was reported the same day. Stewart caught the tail end of a movie when he was startled from his chair by an unidentifiable round light streaking across the valley. Combined with his house being stationed at 3,000 feet - Smithers sits at approximately 1,750 feet - and large bay windows, Stewart has an ideal birds eye view of air traffic.

Crazy and UFO are often terms that go hand in hand when trying to determine an experience that appears to be out of this world. Already this year, over 70 unidentifiable sightings have been reported in northern B.C. Only two days before the Telkwa/Houston sighting, an erratically moving, bright light was spotted in Prince George.

Sightings in Prince Rupert and Port Simpson were reported the same day of Stewart's experience. The two days that followed it reports from Terrace were filed on a glowing, cigar-shaped craft and four multiple sightings of an unidentifiable light.

"There is so much going on here it's nuts", Houston B.C. Canada UFO researcher Brian Vike remarked. Vike suspects action in space is growing with the number of hits he receives on his UFO website.

"Recently, I have been getting numerous hits," he said, "Everything from the National Defense Department to Federal Aviation". He also noted that open information transitions between himself and the National Department of Defense has since clammed up with the publishing of the recent sighting in Telkwa - where three women attested to seeing an unidentified object with bright lights.

"No one wants to say anything and I am kind of wondering why", He questioned. "Is the military running a project we are not aware of? Something has happened I just don't know what ... yet".

Many of these speculated extraterrestrial occurrences have been explained away as meteorites, flying exercises, space debris and the result of power towers. A recent space ship sighting in Smithers turned out to be the planets Jupiter and Venus. Stewart dismisses many of these suspicions in his case. He began by explaining that the object flew in a flat line unlike meteorite or space debris's falling arc pattern.

Planes might be a credible explanation, but because no sound was detected and the size of the light - the size of a pick up truck from the distance he sat at - flew so low, a plane wasn't a logical solution in Stewart's mind.

According to Central Mountain Air, there were no late night flights except for a training run July 29. Northern Thunderbird training was up between 10:07 - 11:04, however, a Central Mountain Air spokesperson saw no connection between the occurrences. She speculated that the tiny Cessna 185 would not emit a bright light of that magnitude and its engines would be heard at a close proximity.

Although a comet spotted the same evening would solve Stewart's mystery, its glowing green light, arc-shaped flight and Hudson Bay Mountain location did not pair up with what he saw - leaving Stewart questioning, "What the heck was it?"

For Stewart, the speed of the light was the most notable. "If you had blinked, you would have missed it, it was that fast," he said. He assessed the light reached faster than the speed of light at over 650 miles per hour. Stewart is well acquainted to gauging speed, he assessed, after driving dragsters that reached up to 200 miles per hour. As to whether he believes in another life force traveling through the universe, Stewart has always believed since reading space comic books as a kid, that people on earth weren't the only ones out here.

"There's too much on earth not to disbelieve," he argued, noting other phenomenon's such as the Pyramids. "I think there was someone before us." Despite Stewart's open mind towards other life forms, he talked himself through other possible explanations, but came to the same conclusion: "I knew I saw something out of the ordinary".

Although highly skeptical, the Canfor employee agreed his sighting was something more than an every day occurrence. "In my mind it looked like a meteorite," he comforted himself, but wavered as he turned the 20 second experience over in his mind. "But, it was like no meteorite I've ever seen. I've seen meteorite showers before, but they never looked anything like this. I really don't know what it was."

95th Year - Week 12

Community Reporter

http:/www.interior-news.com

By Timothy Schafer

The Interior News

A thick cloud cover blanketed the Bulkley Valley on the night of February 1, 2002. Three women drove down Highway 16 on that Friday, chatting casually. After they passed through Telkwa, around 8:45 p.m., a light in the sky ahead of the car slowed their conversation. Even though the woolly sky reflected back moonlight glancing off the snow, this light stood out oddly in the luminescent, northeastern night sky.

When it poked through the cloud cover and descended in their direction as they continued down the highway. The intensity of the light increased as it neared the car. The image of some sort of craft began to take shape, startling the driver.

A boomerang-shaped craft, with seven, bright, white lights and two orange lights at either end, appeared. It took a few seconds for the car to pass from under the craft but soon the silvery glow of a winter night sky in the Bulkley Valley closed in around the three women.

That episode ignited one of the most active months of unidentified flying object sightings in the Bulkley Valley in some time. In fact, with 11 reported sightings from 19 witnesses, the area drew national and international attention from ufologists.

George Filer, the top ufologist in the United States and publisher of the Filer's Files, a weekly newsletter for sightings, has had him as co-guest on National Public Radio's Jeff Rense Show - particularly in the last month since the Bulkley Valley became the crossroads of interstellar traffic.

The February 1, 2002 sighting is on file with the Smithers RCMP but, although they aren't ruling out a craft of some sort, they feel it might be something less glamorous than a UFO. "Whether it was an aircraft or not hasn't been confirmed," said Cpl. Claudette Garcia. Each of the reported cases Vike has investigated is unrelated. No sightings have been recorded in March so far; in the same time last month Vike had four already. "So what happened in February?

There was definitely a flap here," he said, using the ufologist term for a proliferance of objects being sighted. "We've had this big flap going on, it's just went through the roof. What is it they're seeing? " The three Houston women, all thirty something, married adults, were credible witnesses, Vike said. But he could not reveal their names due to his intent to retain the confidentiality of the witnesses.

"With UFO's people have a funny way of looking down on (witnesses). A lot of people get made fun of " said Vike. "People start coming up with some alien idea". Credibility is something which Vike has struggled with since he dedicated himself to investigating UFO sightings 4 years ago. Working in a field which most rational people consider to be populated by dreamers, charlatans, and daft fellows wearing multi colored beanies with a propeller fixed on top, he quickly established a name for himself internationally for the thoroughness and detail of his investigations. And living in a province where people are considered the most likely in the nation to witness a UFO sighting ... according to a survey done by Winnipeg based ufologist, Chris Ruskowski, in February gave the retired Houston forest products worker plenty to do.

"I don't just get a report, write it and post it to my website," Vike explained. "I investigate". "I do whatever I can do, make phone calls to authorities. You've really got to try and track stuff down." In the month since the February first sighting, Vike has been narrowing the possibilities. Some explanations for the lights were: airport lights; helicopters; small, fixed wing planes; ski-doos on mountain sides; stars - all of which he ruled out for different reasons.

"What I'm working on here, I can't come up for an explanation for it," he admitted. "I've talked to guys across Canada and they can't come up with anything. Right now it's unknown, but I've got to try and figure it out for myself or it will go down as unknown."

Seven federal government and five military hits to his website have been recorded since the beginning of February. There was the odd hit to the website by government previously, Vike said, but so many its during a time of inordinate amount of sightings is peculiar.

"So why are they all interested in it if they aren't really interested in UFO's to begin with, as they say?" Vike asked. Vike was certain there had to be other witnesses to the Telkwa sighting and yet, other than the three Houston women, no-one has come forward. A letter he wrote to the Houston Today uncovered unrelated sightings, but nothing further about February 1st. He hoped plain curiosity, the sort which transformed an amateur astronomer into a ufologist, would compel those people to call him.   

"I've always had this belief that we can't be the only ones in this vastness", he surmised. "There has to be life of some sort out there. If I can explain this, I will," he concluded. "If I can't. I'm not going to sit here and pull the wool over anybody's eyes. I want to know too and that's the whole point of doing this."

Recent UFO Sightings In The Bulkley Valley

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article

Houston Today Newspaper.

It seems the Bulkley Valley has become a crossroad for interstellar traffic.

Last week the Houston Today ran a story by T. Schafer about unidentified flying objects sighted in the Bulkley Valley.

Brian Vike is a ufologist and UFO field investigator based in Houston. He says this area has drawn national and international attention from ufologists because of the high number of sightings here.

February 2002 was one of the most active months of UFO sightings in the Bulkley Valley in some time. It seems the Bulkley Valley has become a crossroad for interstellar traffic.

Space did not allow the inclusion of the following accounts in last week’s paper, so here are some reports of recent sightings:

- Houston (July 2001): A fellow walked into the Houston Food Market telling of an object hovering approximately 500 feet above a transmitting tower on Mount Harry Davis. The object was emitting sparks off it’s bottom side, shooting down toward the tower.

- Houston (January 1999): Several snowmobilers on the Telkwa Mountain range watched a black/silver disc shaped object hover in the distance.

- Houston to Smithers (September 2001): A man driving west to Smithers from Houston saw a white light streak low over the valley below him, near Grouse Mountain.

- Houston to Smithers (August 2001): Husband and wife watch a large white light (object) east of Telkwa. It was reported to be very large and glowed brightly before disappearing rapidly to the north.

Crop Circles Return To Vanderhoof

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article

Omineca Express Newspaper.

For the second time, pilot Brent Miskuski has seen something strange as he flew over Vanderhoof.

On his way home to Prince George at about 7:30 last Thursday evening, Miskuski took off from the Vanderhoof airport over Sturgeon Point Road.

Pressed into the grain crop were six circles known as "Crop Circles".

"I didn't have my camera, so I went back out (Friday) morning and took some pictures," be said. "I don't know if anyone knows they're there. I didn't see any tracks of footprints going in there."

As a pilot for Vanderhoof Flying Service, Miskuski has seen this before. The last time this area witnessed this phenomenon was in late August in 1998, when 11 circles appeared in a field leased by Halltray Farms

"Last time, Eric (Spier) and I were the first to see those, too," said Miskuski. "There are fewer now and they're smaller."

Spier, the pilot who spotted them first in 1998 agreed.

"I don't think these ones are as nice as the first ones," he said. "They look rougher."

Rough or not, the circles are already grabbing attention. Crop circle specialists from Vancouver, UFO enthusiasts and documentary makers are already on their way to the small town.

Brian Vike, an Unidentified Flying Object researcher from Houston was out Saturday morning, collecting soil and grain samples from the new circles.

"This is my first time looking at circles like this," he said. "It's really exciting."

Vike, who describes himself as an "open minded skeptic"; usually gathers reports of UFO Sightings in the area. He spent Saturday collecting as much data about the six circles as he could.

One formation of circles now being referred to as "Mickey Mouse's head" consists of three separate circles. The largest one is 30 feet across and is flattened in a clockwise spiral. The smaller two are 16 and 17 feet across the smaller one flattened in a counter clockwise spiral and the other clockwise. About 30 feet away lies another 17-foot circle in a counterclockwise pattern. Forty feet from that is a formation of two circles one is 27' 9" across in a clockwise spiral and the other 19' 10" in a counterclockwise spiral.

"Nobody had touched it before I got out there," said Vike. "There is one set of tracks out to one of the circles, but absolutely none leading from circle to circle and no other disturbances to the grain at all."

"The stalks of grain in the circles are all intact, simply bent over," said Vike.

"Nothings broken, just flattened," be said. "The spirals go in tighter and tighter as you approach the centre of the circle and they start to overlap a bit in the middle."

Vike also Interviewed several people in the area who reported a "smoky" smell on the night the circles were first seen.

"One lady said the smell was so disgusting they had to get up and close the window," he said.

Vike's UFO research has kept him hopping lately. He said Sightings are up almost 55 percent this year alone He's never encountered crop circles before, however.

"I hate to say it, but I suppose it would be fairly easy to fake them. That's why we take all these samples for analysis," he said. The samples will be tested for "just about everything", including magnetic traces, chemicals, and molecular structure.

"Man made or not," said Vike, "they're still cool."

Terrace Standard News.

A Houston, B.C., based investigator is wondering if people here have seen unusual, bright objects in the skies over Terrace.

Brian Vike an independent UFO Field researcher, says residents from Smithers to Prince George have reported a recent rash of UFO sightings.

He’s wondering if people in Terrace saw anything out of the ordinary during the month of February that would be part of a pattern he’s noticed east of here along Highway 16.

Vike says a major sighting took place on February 1 just 3 kms east of Telkwa, outside Smithers. Witnesses there reported seeing bright objects in the sky.

Witnesses in Houston, Burns Lake and Vanderhoof reported seeing something similar.

To date, Vike has received reports stemming from about January 31 to February 3.

Group Seeks Down To Earth Support

Kelowna woman eyes venue for help with UFO encounters.

A Kelowna woman is reviving a support group for people with UFO experiences, despite all her own bad experiences surrounding the subject in the past.

She is willing to face up to some possible ridicule to try to provide a venue for people to talk about their experiences among a group of people who will not judge them harshly for their beliefs.

She also hopes to attract a counsellor and a hypnotherapist to help provide some answers for those troubled with experiences like abductions.

“It is not for looky-loos and people who are interested in the subject, it is for people who feel they have been abducted or had UFO sightings and weird things have been happening to them for a long time,” said Cynthia. (not her real name)

She wants to keep her anonymity to avoid the problem caused when a mentally disturbed man joined the last group she coordinated about five years ago. The man stalked her home and forced an abrupt move away from her children and from the club’s meeting place.

Prior to that dissolution, she said the group provided some much needed relief for a group of about 20 members who met regularly for about a year.

“We are normal, regular, average everyday people that are sane. We had all kinds of people – registered nurses, carpenters, homemakers, a councilor, hypnotherapists,” she said.

This time, she plans to meet in a neutral location like a library, where personal danger could be minimized.

Yet this would still allow the potential to discuss unfathomable experiences similar to her own.

“This is happening to everyday people and happening in our own backyard right here in Kelowna,” she said. “In the last three or four months the sightings have been unbelievable in this region.

“UFO*BC in Vancouver and Brian Vike in HBCC UFO Research in Houston, B.C., have had more than150 phone calls of sightings and things that are going on in this area.” An experience she had on July 31 of this year scared her enough to take the bold step to revive a support group.

“It was petty heavy duty stuff,” she said, unwilling to give details of the event over the phone, however, she said it did coincide with six eyewitness reports that night.

“After July 31 I said, That’s it, I have got to make my fear and anger work for me and not let it paralyze me,” she said.

“I have had things happening to me since I was four or five years old and now it is with my children,” she added, describing a triangular shape that showed up on her son’s back one morning with what appeared to be radiation burns.

Outside his bedroom window, one tree had suddenly shown burning signs around it’s leaves.

“There is no help here in Canada like there is in the United States.

“They have all these councilors, psychiatrists, lab technicians that will do these tests that will help these people,” she said.

Here you are supposed to live with all this stuff, all by yourself, all alone and wondering if you are going crazy.

“Their emotions are in chaos. They wake up with marks on their bodies and bleeding noses and they are angry and they don’t know why,” she said.

While taking out problems with other like minded people can provide some relief, it doesn’t address the issues as deeply as many would like.

So the group is looking for a professional with experience in hypnotherapy and counseling to help out.

“It is like someone who had a severe trauma, and they block it out because they can handle it. Like sexual abuse or whatever, it is the same thing for abductees,” she said.

“We need someone with an open mind who is really truly going to help them with these experiences.”

UFOs And Three Little Alien Figures At Port Alberni British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 1, 2011

Time:  Approxamtlty 3:45 a.m.

On August 1, 2011 about 3:45 a.m. I was coming home after taking my kid to work and was heading north on Cherry Creek Rd. in Port Alberni. I saw a white light blink above the Beaufort range and thought it must be a satellite or a plane, then it disappeared and dropped down lower this time in front of the mountain just above the tree line and flashed again.

I thought to myself, ok it's a plane, then it blinked red, and I thought ok it's definitely a plane, but then it started flashing green. Now in all my 50 years of living here I've never seen a plane blink both red and green lights. Then all of a sudden it zig zagged a little lower and shot backwards leaving a white light streak behind it which immediately disappeared. I've seen fighter jets in action and believe me, no aircraft on this earth can move that fast! It was definitely a UFO.

The next day we had tons of aerial activity above the area and the following day as well.

I was reading more of your site and saw that you are wanting past UFO sighting information as well so here it goes. About 1987 My husband and I were driving back from Parksville about 11:00pm and saw a V shaped formation of lights, 7 of them that were stationary above Mt. Arrowsmith, then they suddenly disappeared all together.

We drove into port and Mt. Arrowsmith was visible from our house and there the lights were again in the same place again just sitting there. We thought it was some sort of a Airforce maneuver and dismissed it. The next day I was talking to my girlfriend and she said her dad saw the same thing and had actually called Comox Airforce Base to see if there were any maneuvers being done and they said no.

About 2 years before that my husband and I had gone to bed it was about 12:00 a.m. He fell asleep and it takes me a lot longer to fall asleep so I was laying there awake and suddenly our room was filled with a blinding light.

There was only 1 small window which faced south there and the neighbors house was really close on that side about 7 feet away so unless someone was shining a really bright in my window which there wasn't or I would've seen the beam, the light seemed to come from above.

I tried waking my husband, but I couldn't wake him up even though I was shaking and yelling at him. It was like he was unconscious or something. Next thing I know our bedroom became filled with a sort of vapour and I saw 3 little men about 3 1/2 to 4' tall come in our bedroom. Have you ever watched the movie Fire in the Sky?

That's what these things sort of looked like. I was screaming, but no sound seemed to come out and I was paralyzed I tried to get up but couldn't move! I was terrified! These things picked me up and carried me out of my room up and I don't remember anything after that. I told my husband about it the next day, but he said I was dreaming. I know I wasn't, I was wide awake when this happened.

Ok those are my UFO stories, you are going to think me a nut job, but the above is all true.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Mother And Son Believe In Their An Alien Encounter At Banora Point NSW Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  2005

Hello Brian, I have something that has shocked our family and their beliefs of extra terrestrials.

About 4 Weeks ago I noticed a cut on my back. I couldn't remember how it got there, and I couldn't recall injuring myself. The cut was about 3 inches in length, and was deep. There was no blood however.

The cut has formed into a scar, which looks similar to that of a surgery related operation.

I didn't think much, or take much notice of it until this morning.

My mother woke me this morning and complained of back pain and asked me to check to see what the problem was. After checking, I realized that her cut was identical to my cut 4 Weeks earlier. I showed her the scarring on my back, and she was shocked. After taking photos, we both noticed that our scars were exactly the same length. Her's however, was on the left side of her back, and mine was on the more upper right side of my back.

Both of us do not know how we acquired these cuts.

Both cuts are in a straight line, exactly the same length.

My mother never used to believe in extra terrestrials or conspiracies, but now this incident has encouraged her to learn more.

As this has only been discovered in the morning, we have not yet checked my Father or Brother to see if they have the same scarring in their backs.

My mother's friend is a Psychic medium is ready to do an evaluation of this. My mind is not that "elastic" to believe in afterlife and so forth, but we have experienced things related to this. It will be interesting to see what they uncover.

I have had similar things happen to me like this, one time waking to find my foot broken and my nose bleeding, and some other bruises that I know I have not caused.

Additional Information:

I currently live in Banora Point NSW Australia, and previously lived in Hastings Point NSW Australia.

I believe that I have seen and had contact with extra terrestrials, my previous submissions describing them. When I was a child, I saw 3 tall shapes around my bed, and another time I woke to find my foot broken and nose bleeding.

Also, I have seen a flaming red object in the sky, and just recently I discovered that a number of years ago my father saw a green object in the sky.

We have also experienced a strange occurrence in our town, when a bright white light flashed in the sky over our town, causing a blackout. All of our towns power is underground, and the nearest transformer is a couple of kilometers away.

After noticing the scars, I have found it difficult to sleep. I have noticed sounds outside, and sometimes have a feeling is if they are outside looking in at me.

I have heard strange noises at night, and sometimes both our two dogs bark late at night, for reasons we don't know.

Both my mother and I have strange "Tingling" feeling around the scars. I usually notice this feeling when around water, or when I go to bed.

I noticed mine four weeks before my mother noticed hers. Hers now, is beginning to form into what looks like a medical scar.

We have checked, and both my brother and sister do not have scars on their backs. We are not sure if my father has scars, as he won't let us check as he is quite against it.

Whether this is an Implant, Brand, or just a very strange coincidence.

After this incident, I believe my mother is trying to forget about it, and refused the psychic medium to perform an analysis.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
