A Frightening Close Encounter With A UFO Between Nanaimo To Campbell River British Columbia Canada (Diagram)

 This sighting report was never posted !

If anyone else saw this event, would you please drop me an email with your details on what you saw. Thank you very much, Brian. Email: houstonbri7@gmail.com

Date:  September 2009.

Time:  9:30 p.m.

My name is (removed). My experience happened in September 2009, but I just found you now.

My friend and I were driving home from Nanaimo to Campbell River, British Columbia. We were on the highway at about 9:30 p.m. about 20 minutes away from Hamm Rd. The skies were super clear and crisp.

We were chatting and had the music on, etc. Throughout the drive we both noticed 2 little lights way in the distance kind of hovering around, but very far away. We both didn’t think much of it and carried on chatting.

Out of no where, about 20 feet above her car was 2 huge bright lights (bluish-white) with orange glowing on the sides, below the light were 2 metal looking structures hanging down like 2 arms. We drew a picture when we got home, but it is kind of hard to explain, my first thought was it was a flying vehicle.

Everything was silent, the music was no longer playing, her car wasn’t making a noise, we were going simultaneously with these lights, it was like a magnet with her car. If we got out and threw a rock we would have hit the object that’s how close it was.

We were both in like some sort of trance, I felt for my phone to take a picture, but I just couldn’t take my eyes off of it. After about 30 seconds of staring, I yelled out "WHAT THE F*** IS THAT?" and it was gone. I looked back and the 2 lights were way in the distance hovering around, jerking movements almost very far away.

We both were freaking out confirming with each other we had just seen and experienced the same thing. As we turned on to Hamm Road the 2 lights were closer again hovering over by the trees with it’s lights shining on the trees.

I called the police when I got home and they said "you’d be surprised how many weird phone calls we get about that area". She seemed kind of weird about it and said it could have been the government doing testing. Didn’t  make sense to me.

The next day I felt really weird and so did my friend. Anyways I would love to hear back from you. I think about what happened this night every once in a while and felt like I had no one to talk to about it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Additional Information:

Hello Brian,

I was just going through some old e-mails and realized that I never replied to your e-mail back in 2012! I noticed the e-mail address you used back then is no longer active, but I was able to find your current e-mail. I am so sorry to be getting back to you almost 10 years later.

My friend and I were talking about our experience as we do every so often as years go by and I remembered e-mailing you back then. Attached is a photo of the UFO that we saw. The drawing isn't exact but the best I could do to depict what we saw. As for the answers to your questions.

The blue/white light did seem to engulf the car, the lights were so bright and the spotlight was on the car. The sighting of the UFO up that close to us lasted for under 1 minute but we saw the object before and after the up close sighting as 2 lights off in the distance kind of hovering.

Yes, the car was moving with the UFO after it lost power. My friend and I still see each other all the time, we are best friends and talk every day. We don't believe we had a missing time event, but if I didn't yell out when I did I am not sure what would have happened to us.

The days following the sighting we both felt the same, glum, detached, backwards, no energy, etc. Neither of us had any medical issues after the event although around this time period I started to have stomach issues that still affect me to this day.

I would be so interested to know any other thoughts you have about our sighting. Thanks so much for your time.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

UFOs And Frightening Alien Abductions Milwaukee Wisconsin

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  March-December 2007

Time:  N/A.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects:
Shape of objects: 

Full Description of event/sighting: Hi, Brian, I wrote you a few months  back about a possible abduction event that occurred back in February 2004 in Hales Corners, Wisconsin. My wife and I both experienced this event. During the last several months things have become even more strange in that these experiences seem to occur with greater frequency.  

We moved into a new house back in September. One day as we were sitting on our front porch something caught my eye. There appeared to be two white or metallic spheres zig-zagging in the sky above our house. I was so excited that my wife was there to see it that I began yelling to my wife to look while pointing out the spectacle.  

This isn't the first time I have seen these spheres. I have seen them quite often particularly when there are a lot of chemtrails in the sky.  Strangely I quickly forgot about this event until later that night when I woke up near 3:00am and felt that same ominous feeling that comes with a great deal of these experiences. I felt that something was again present in the room with us.

The bedroom door was open, I quickly sat up and  looked into the hallway, I could see that something was there. Now it is difficult for me to explain this figure other than it had no texture or features other than being completely black in the sense that it was a void. In other words, this thing didn't appear to have any color, but appeared to be a gaping hole in the shape of a being. I had the distinct impression that I could have put my hand right through this thing and that it would be like putting my hand in to an empty space. It was darker than a shadow. 

So the only other characteristic it had was its shape. It stood perhaps 5 feet tall and seemed rather well-built for its height. It's arms were longer than ordinary and seemed to go slightly below the knees. In a sense, it looked similar in shape to a short stocky human being with a flat-top haircut. It wasn't the common Gray that many people tend to see during these experiences.  I had the impression that this being was rather strong because the shape conveyed a being that seemed almost "military" and "authoritative". Instantaneously I felt a cold sweat cover me and was totally unable to talk. Fear set in. The next thing I remember was waking up in the morning and trying to rationalize my way through the experience.

Basically, I was attempting to look into the hallway and reduce what I had seen to shadows being cast onto the walls. But no matter how hard I tried, there was nothing that could cast that kind of shadow.

Several months earlier I had a very intense encounter that was so real to me that I cannot put it away as a dream. This experience is what moved me to write about our February 2004 encounter, which really opened the floodgates for me in regard to the many recollections of encounters that I have had throughout my life. I didn't want to write about it then because it seemed a little too far fetched, but I was keenly aware that it was real.  The event happened over two nights.

On the first night I awoke to hear a humming sound. This humming sound has been with me for a very long time. And every time I hear it, I am almost guaranteed that something will happen. The humming sound doesn't sound external. It is internal, a humming that I can hear in my head. There have been times where it has been so intense that I've had to ask people if they could hear the humming as well. They never do. On the first night all I heard was the humming and then fell asleep without incident.

The next  night I decided to stay up late and watch a movie. My wife had went to bed and my children were sleeping. My son had fallen asleep in the living room.  At about 1:00 a.m. I decided to go to bed. In the driveway outside our house I had seen what appeared to be a bright light coming through the window in my son's bedroom.

My first impression was that someone pulled into the driveway and the headlights were facing my son's room.  I went into the bedroom and peeked through the blinds only to see what appeared to be a thick beam of bluish-white light shooting directly down onto the driveway. I quickly looked up to see the source of the light and became terrified because it was coming from a large object that hovered stationary above the trees.

It happened so quickly that I couldn't make out a distinct shape. I felt that it was just waiting for me to see it. In complete terror I turned around and tried to run back into the living room where my son was. Before I knew it I was paralyzed and laying on my back in the hallway outside of my son's room. What happened next was one of the more conscious experiences I have had.

I was completely paralyzed, but I was not unconscious. In fact I was so conscious that I distinctly remember saliva rolling down the sides of my cheeks and trying to vocalize but being unable to control my ability to talk or swallow. My entire body felt tingly and light. I could move my eyes somewhat, but it was a laborious process. I kept saying in my head, "This is  real!" and as I said this I was deeply concentrating on the moment and attempting to forcefully put everything into my memory. I saw what appeared to be two blurry masses come into the room from out of nowhere.

I say they were a blur because they moved so fast that it was difficult for my eyes to keep up with them. When they would "slow down" I could immediately tell that they were thin, pale, and had large eyes. They were the definition of the so-called "Grays". I could also tell that they were wearing a very tight fitting jumpsuit of some sort. 

I remembered asking a question in my head (I don't remember what question I asked) and hearing one of them respond something to the effect, "It will take more honor than that."  This response seemed to almost mock me. I was no longer frightened by this point and felt that the answer was not meant to be insulting, but was delivered with an odd sense of humor. I still do not understand why I remember the answer and not the question.

My son who is now three has been telling me of his bad dreams. They include seeing people and hands coming out of the walls. When he was just a few months old, while still living in Hales Corners there would  be an owl sitting on the power lines just outside his room. This really made me uneasy because by that time I was beginning to read the stories.

 I would stand at his window on several occasions looking right at the thing. It just stood on the lines staring right back. At all hours of the night I could hear the owl making noise outside. Perhaps they are only dreams, but maybe they aren't. These types of experiences seem to have followed me throughout my life. As a young boy I remember other events of being awakened by my dog in the wee hours of the night only to witness odd events outside my bedroom window. I have remembered the distinct feeling of floating outside the earth and seeing the planet from high in space.

This memory is just as real as any other memory that I have. This memory is so real in fact that even when viewing Google earth I have a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach. Some of these encounters and experiences have been so odd that they defy any rational explanation and seem to deal with factors that transcend reason altogether. 

I've read the abduction stories of others and I have never been given warnings about ecological disaster, global cataclysms or terrorism. However I have the intuitive knowledge that I know things that I am not supposed to be consciously aware of until some later date. Every time I attempt to remember this "buried knowledge" it  seems that I am blocked from accessing my own memories. Time will tell I suppose.

Best Regards,

Thank you to the witness for sharing this amazing experience.

A Couples Amazing And Frightening UFO Experience Billerica Massachusetts (Audio Interview)

Text Report Below:

December 2004

Brian Vike's Note: At the end of this initial letter from the witness there is the report which was filed to MUFON in which the fellow sent along to me. This is a fascinating story.

Hello Brian, I thought you might interested in this UFO report I filed to MUFON in December of 2004, I cant explain why but Anne and I want to finally share our experience with others. Since this sighting strange things have been happening in the house for instance, the microwave oven would start beeping at random, were on our 3rd oven.

A shelf fell off the wall in the kitchen which I know doesn't sound that strange but it's the type that the fingers on the side brackets have to be tapped down in the rails, I installed it and remember I had to tap the brackets down with a little force, for the brackets to fall off you would have to tap up on them. Strange sounds would come from the TV and radio. Anne would see pot covers fly of the shelf and land several feet away.

Many other things happened but I can't get into them right now, plus it would usually happen in the day and I work full time, Anne would tell me when I got home. Anne also had regressive hypnosis and her account was the same. I tried the hypnosis, but I wasn't receptive to it.

One other thing did happen that I remembered a few days later, when Anne was on the floor I remembered giving her CPR, after I got her off the floor and on to the couch I looked into the kitchen and saw what looked like snow or fine pellets of Styrofoam pouring in through the sliding door ( I guess didn't shut it all the way).

After icing my hand for awhile I told Anne I'm going in the garage to get the shop vac to clean up the mess when I looked again all the white stuff was gone and the small carpet in the kitchen was dry. Also the white light outside looked like it flowed like a liquid wrapping itself around everything, did not notice any shadows. By the way this happened in Billerica, Massachusetts. I know it sounds incredible but this really happened, hope to hear from you soon.

Below: The Actual Sighting Report Which Was Filed To MUFON. 

(Recount of a UFO sighting experienced by Robert and Anne).

At approximately 7:10 on Sunday night (12/12/04) I was in my kitchen preparing dinner, my friend Anne was in the living room working on a crossword puzzle. I have a sliding glass door which leads to a deck off of the kitchen, Anne and I just got home so the curtain was not drawn yet.

Out of the corner of my right eye I saw a huge ball of brilliant white light coming towards the house from the west, it was above treetop level but not by much. In my mind I compared the size to be like looking at a full moon on a clear night maybe bigger and as it neared it got bigger and bigger. I called to Anne to take a look, she was as surprised as I was.

We went out onto the deck to get a better look because of the glare from internal lights on the glass door. It stopped above the house and was absolutely huge, 2 maybe 3 football fields. The white light engulfed everything. One thing I noticed was that the light did not hurt our eyes. It hovered a few minutes with absolutely no noise, then all of a sudden a pale blue light came out of the bottom of this thing, the thing that was odd about the blue light is that it formed a perfect square on the deck.

The size was big enough to fully engulf Anne. All of a sudden Anne started to lift up off the deck, I immediately opened the sliding door with my left hand, jumped up and wrapped my right around Anne's waist, with a hooking motion I threw Anne into the kitchen then ran in and shut the door, when I looked back the light was gone.

Anne was out cold for about a minute, when she came too she said all she remembered seeing the blue light and hearing me say that the blue light was square, that's when she must of blacked out. Shortly after Anne awoke the phone rang, I was so shook up I couldn't answer it so Anne did. The call was from my sister she was in her car with her husband about 4 to 5 miles south east of us.

She told Anne she saw a ball of white light with a trailing blue tail. At first she thought it was a meteorite but ruled that out because it was so low and moving parallel with the ground. Soon after the call ( which by the way according to my caller id the time was 7:21) I noticed my right hand was burning and there were a couple of blisters below my middle finger. (pictures attached) for some reason that I cant explain I knew the blisters would be gone in the morning, which they did, so I had Anne take a picture of my hand with my digital camera.

I wish I had the camera with me on the deck but everything happened too fast. Anne and I are still shook up about all this but are willing to meet and answer any questions you may have.

A Frightening 20 Minute UFO Encounter Hammonds Plains Nova Scotia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.   

Date:  March 10, 2007

Time:  2:30 - 3:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Hammonds Plains (Kingswood/Voyageur Run).
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Uncertain.

Full Description of event/sighting: It was the night of March 10, 2007 at around 2:10 in the morning. My best friend and I were sitting in his car waiting to go on a school-organized trip to Quebec. The bus left at 5:00 a.m. so my friend and I decided to stay up and wait to drive to the bus and sleep the whole drive up.

We decided to wait on a new road that connected two different subdivisions (Voyager Run and Kingswood). The road was off of a lake and had no streetlights because it was just built. We parked the car near the only source of light, which I believe was a little watershed or hut with one light bulb at the top.

While sitting in the car my friend pointed out a bright white light in what we assumed was a far distance in comparison the trees on the lake. At first my friend thought it was a planet because of the random blinking of the light. After looking at this light for 5 minutes the passenger window become streaky and slightly fogged. After the streaks were formed we both realized this light was moving by keeping our heads completely still and by comparing the close streaks on the window to the light in the distance.

Once we made this realization after about 10 minutes of the movement of the light we noticed a drastic increase in the speed it was moving and could notice that it wasn't moving sideways anymore, but towards us and was getting bigger.

After watching this light move closer for 2 minutes, 3 more lights other than the original white flashing light were becoming visible. The other lights were, a very light blue on the left side, a bright red on the opposite side, and an even brighter white/yellow light on the top which would make it a triangle if it weren't for the other original flashing white light which was flashing slower and in different places making the shape unrecognizable.

At this point the shape was still to far to recognize a flying pattern which was the last thing leaving my friend and I to believe it still might be an airplane or something explainable.

After only another minute or so trying to interpret what this was the distance this thing seemed to travel in a short period of time seemed unbelievable. Once the object seemed to be close enough to be able to hear an engine I rolled my window down. As soon as my window went down I can't explain the feeling I got instantly, it was a feeling of panic.

My friend panicked as well because the object was hovering with a very slight humming sound over the lake in front of us. As the object was getting close it moved in a very slight up and down movement, but continued to move in a forward direction. The object wasn't very high in the sky, maybe about a 10-story building.

The way it moved made it hard to tell a shape. I only got about a 5 - 10 second detailed look at it. I am positive that I saw a curve to the shape on one side. The curve seemed to progressively light up with three different colors one at a time then fade them backwards' in the same manor. It was identical to the way the equalizers show the bass hits in a song but only horizontal and on one side of the object. The colors that lit up along the side were red, green, and yellow.

My friend instantly started the car in fear when the object was flying in a direction that would pass behind the car. As my friend started the car and put the car in gear the object had just passed behind the car and it instantly changed directions towards the car. The feeling of fear and curiosity that this thing had spotted us was a feeling I could not describe. My heart was beating incredibly fast, I have never felt anything like this. At first the feeling was fear and the feeling of a much greater power or energy in the sky that was capable of anything.

As my friend and I drove out towards the other end of the road that connected the two subdivisions the object would appear out my window one second and then my friends window as we went around every slight turn. Eventually when we reached the main road the object was no longer in sight anywhere.

I know what I saw was something of the unexplainable because of the feeling I got. I described the whole 20-minute encounter as best as I could with as much detail. If anyone has a similar story around the same area or different "please" let me know. I will never forget this experience that I witnessed just the other week. I am only 18, but my friend and I know that whatever we saw was not explainable.

I decided to keep the story to myself the whole time in Quebec because when I tell it its impossible to share the feeling of the experience.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Hovers Over Base Adak Island Alaska (Letter And Envelope/Audio Interview)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

You can listen to the entire story/interview at the following link, it's a short clip: https://jmp.sh/Df9Inbc

Location Information: Adak is an island midway along the Aleutian Island chain southwest of mainland Alaska at 177 degrees west. At 52 degrees north it is not exactly arctic, nor is it temperate, but it is nearly always buffeted by cold, wet winds.

Most of the wind is generated by an endless series of cyclonic storms. The weather report for aviators almost never varies: Winds 25-40 gusting to 60, mostly cloudy with layers at 800 feet, 1200 feet, 2000 feet.

Visibility 7 miles, rain. Temp 40 degrees F (plus or minus 5 degrees for most of the year). It is bounded on the east and the west by volcanoes.

To the west is Kanaga Volcano, a beautiful perfect cone, and to the east by Great Sitkin, which nearly always is at least smoking and erupted in the early 1970's.

Map of Adak Island below:

Brian Vike had a nice telephone conversation with an ex-serviceman by the name of Art.

Art was stationed on Adak Island Aleutian Islands and was part of the crash crew for the fire department.

One late night in January 1976 at the airport, the control tower personnel rang the crash crew and told the members that an aircraft was going to be landing.

The crash crew members jumped up and peered out the window and did not see an airplane of any kind, but rather a glowing object approximately 50 feet across. (Art told me it was the brightest light that he has ever seen in his life)

Art said it was really eerie to watch, and the humming that came from the UFO, seemed to resonate throughout all of the crash teams bodies.

One has to remember that the crash team was still inside their building when they could feel the humming, but they eventually did move outside and stood approximately 100 feet away from this huge and extremely bright UFO which was hovering just over the tarmac pretty much in front of the control tower and of course all the men watching.

As everyone stood looking at this unidentified object, more bright lights about the size of a Volkswagen came from out of the hovering UFO and flew at an incredible fast rate of speed up to a communication station which was located on a nearby hill and sat stationary on it.

Another light went down and hovered over the bunkers. After a period of time the lights that were zipping around did come back to the main object and merged into it.

All of a sudden the large UFO took off at such a high rate of speed it left all of the personnel watching it dumfounded.

As Art mentioned, we have nothing here on earth that could move as quickly as this thing did and I would certainly be in agreement with Art on this.

The control tower called the crash crew and asked, "what the hell was that"! The crew replied back, it was a UFO!

Art remembers one of the personnel in the control tower cursing, as this was something one does not see every day, and he also mentioned that the object was as bright as the sun and lit up the entire area as if it was daylight.

The crash crew station below:

Art said, they were really frightened, they were young men at the time, Art being 19 years old.

The thirteen men stood looking at one another saying, "what the heck was that"?

Soon afterwards, or after the event was over which left a lot of men scratching their heads, the officer of the day showed up and confronted the men and told them what they all saw was "Ball Lightning".

Art's response to the officer of the day was, if that was ball lightning, then it had to be the largest display of lightning on record.

Art also said he would be more than willing to sit down and take a lie detector test to provide what he is relating is the truth.

He also mentioned that there were people taking pictures of the object. He could not remember who these people were, but when the pictures came back, Art remembers everyone looking at them and seeing nothing but a bright, camera flash type light in each of the photos.

One just wasn't able to see anything other than this brilliant white light.

Art also figures the object sat stationary just feet about the tarmac for 10 to 15 minutes. This object wasn't flying by, it was sitting still for a long period of time in front of all these men.

Also he said that the UFO incident was placed into the crash crews logbook and also in the control tower's logbook as well.

Art sat down on another day following the sighting and wrote a letter to his family back home. This was a personal letter, asking how things were, etc. then Art added that he saw a UFO. He described just a little about what he saw.

I asked Art if I should remove names and he told me to leave the letter as is. The family members who are mentioned in this letter have passed away. I have also added a link to the envelope the letter came in.

After the family members passed on a lot of their possessions were given back to family and this is how Art came into possession again of his letter.

View Art's letter he sent to the family: *Art's Letter To His Family*

You also can listen to the telephone interview I did with Art over the UFO sighting at Adak Island, Aleutian Islands Alaska. The interview is 23:31 minutes in length. More can be heard by listening to the audio portion of this report.

 Scanned photo of the envelope the letter came in below:

On a side note, separate from the sighting Art and the other men had. Art told me about another time when a Coast Guard ship docked at Adak Island where he was stationed, and he and others were handling the tying up of the Coast Guard ship.

After the ship was docked and the Coast Guard crew were coming off the ship, one of the sailors stopped and talked to Art and the other men, saying you would not believe what just happened as the Coast Guard ship was coming into port.

A UFO came straight up and out of the water in front of the ship and kept traveling straight up. The sailor said the craft was anywhere from 50 to 100 feet in width.

The ship immediately scrambled and went into general quarters. The sailor said he was as white as a sheet, from the sounds of things, the entire crew was pretty freaked out over the incident.

Also I should add, this UFO incident happened prior to what Art and the others folks witnessed.

Thank you to Art for a fascinating report, the letter, envelope and telephone conversation.

The chain of events took place over two nights, the police were called, the newspaper wrote a story on a tree which caught fire as the fire department were called out to put out the fire. Balls of light shooting over the people's head while standing on their driveway listening to the god awful screams. Circles left on the ground behind the home on the hill. Flash of light which engulfed the entire inside of the home and a figure could be seen coming up the stairs while this bright white light filled the home. Plus missing time, and a lot of it. This interview you do not want to miss.

Thousand Oaks, California UFO - Blinding Light And Sheer Terror (Special)

Received Report: January 2007

Date: November 1975 (2 nights)

Witnesses: Myself (20 at the time)

My father - deceased 1977 (age 47)

Mother

Brother (19 at the time)

My now ex-wife (19, 6 months pregnant at the time)

2 German Shepherds

Co-worker of my mothers - deceased.

UFO sighting reports from the past years I find simply amazing. There have been scores of sightings that have been reported to different UFO groups throughout the years, but still there are thousands of cases that have gone unreported. In the below letter is one of these. I would urge anyone from past years to file their UFO sighting as it helps us all out and hopefully gives us a better understanding of what is really happening in the day and nighttime skies.

Brian Vike's Note: The report, or experience which was related to me by a really nice fellow wishes to remain anonymous which is totally fine with me. Also I completely understand why he would like it to remain this way. But, this is an important case and the witness, or witnesses to this unusual event are looking for answers, as I am. 

These folks are requesting anyone's help, in other words people who may have been witness to some unusual events around the time of this experience. Anyone with information on sightings in the Thousand Oaks, California area in November 1975 would you please contact Brian Vike, with your information on what took place. I then can pass along just the detailed information to the people who were involved in the November 1975 incident. Thank you very much, Brian Vike.

We lived in Thousand Oaks, California at the time, at 2130 Sapra (There are 2 Sapra's that were supposed to connect but never did. Our house was on the short one, connecting directly to Erbes Road). It was a new housing development when we moved in from Amarillo, TX in 1969 (My dad worked for Burroughs and was transferred from Texas to the Westlake Village branch). 

We were the last house on a dead end street at the end of town. The houses were on only the south side of the street, cut out of the hill, with a large horse field across the street. The house was perched quite high above Erbes Rd and we could see over the horse field and into the valley below.

First Night:

My cousin lived next door and he and I were playing guitar on my front driveway along with my brother and a couple of other friends around 7:00 or 8:00 pm (close guess). Suddenly a blue light (size of a basketball?) streaked (super fast- no sound) over the house from the south and hit the horse field. I say hit, but it seemed to dissolve on impact and sent blue, lightning like streamers shooting off across the ground in all 3 other directions, for hundreds of yards until they disappeared. 

Well, this was kind of strange to say the least, but we were kind of laughing about it as a couple of the people were facing away and saw nothing. We went back to playing guitar and 15 to 20 minutes later, this huge pine tree on the street down in the valley (Marview Drive - just looked it up on map quest) suddenly was fully engulfed in flames. 

We stood there for awhile ( I remember watching the fire truck come down Arboles and turn up Erbes down in the valley below). Eventually it was put out (the story was in the paper -News Chronicle- the next day).

That night my brother, ex and I were up in my old room (My ex-wife and I were up in Alaska that year and had just gotten back) watching TV and we had the window on the east side of the room open. About 10:00 or so my brother told me to turn down the TV, he thought he heard something. 

We went over to the window and, after a couple of minutes, heard a far off 'scream' way back in the hills to the northeast. We looked at each other with a 'what was that' look and a couple of minutes later heard it again, only it sounded farther away. I think we heard it a couple of other times and than didn't hear it again. Nothing else happened that night.

We all got home from work the next day, ate dinner, then my folks sat in the living room to watch TV and the 3 of us went upstairs to do the same. Around 7:00 my brother again said to turn down the TV (He always sat in a chair that we had next to that window) and immediately we heard the 'scream', only much closer.

How do I describe 'the scream' I can't. I've never heard anything like it, before or since. Part human, part animal Pain Fear. Certainly wasn't happy. I can kind of imitate it, but I can't describe it.

Let me also take a break here and describe the terrain. The houses stepped up the street, each one higher than the other. They had a lot above ours, but it was too small to build on and they sold it to my dad and he put a pool on it. That lot was even with the window in my room so my window looked out on the pool. 

The hill behind both lots started very quickly up (steep) for about 30 feet to a small drainage ditch and then both were surrounded by a chicken wire fence we had put up to enclose both lots. Beyond that, thick, impenetrable sage brush. We owned that land but were never able to use it. You couldn't walk through it and the sage brush covered the entire hill south and east of the house. 

The fire department occasionally came and cleared a little back from the drainage ditch, but it always grew back quickly. The hill went straight up for hundreds of yards to the houses on the top of the hill, which you could neither see or hear.

At this point we heard the scream coming from a point near a phone electric pole that was in the middle of the hill (50 yards away maybe). It screamed again and the 3 of us didn't need to hear it again to know it was time to get dad involved so we ran downstairs. A thought occurred to me - where are the dogs? I went left out to the garage and my brother and ex went right, into the living room.

I opened the back garage door (somewhat hesitant I might add). Usually at this point, I'm bowled over by a lovable, but hyper, 120 pound male German Sheppard who's favorite thing is to bound inside or in the garage and destroy everything in his tails path. But no dogs and then a scream up the hill to the left and I closed the door and headed inside.

My dad and brother were at the front door going out as I came in so I followed them outside. They went down the driveway while I went over to the gate on the west side of the house to see if I could find the dogs. I rattled the gate, and still no dogs but I heard the scream again, at the edge of our property, about near the drainage ditch. I went back to the front of the house and could see my brother and dad standing on the sidewalk in front of the 2nd lot, looking up at the hill.

I saw my dad and brother flinch down and the scream was thunderous. By far, the loudest we had heard, and the house was blocking me. My dad and brother came running up the driveway, asking me if I'd seen the fireballs (which I hadn't). They said 2 blue fireballs came shooting over their heads and hit the hill and immediately the thing screamed it's shriek. This was the only time in my life I saw my dad scared.

We all went inside and I tried to call my cousin next door, but nobody answered the phone. My Dad then decided to call the police and he reported something was up on our hill to the Thousand Oaks PD. At that point, the 3 of us went out the back door with a flashlight to look for the dogs. The thing had stopped screaming after the fireball incident to the best of my memory, but it wasn't screaming now. We found both dogs in the doghouse, shaking. We finally got them out and into the garage.

Quick note about the dogs. Anything near the property, they went nuts on. Rabbits or birds? An hour bark-a-thon. They protected that yard relentlessly, but what ever was up there this night, they wanted no part of.

My dad, brother and I went back out front and heard nothing. We stayed out there, one of us going inside every few minutes to check on things. An officer arrived about 8:30 and my dad somewhat told him what was going on (He was a Korean war vet so he wasn't going to the unexplained just yet).

The officer stayed for a while, shined his spotlight on the hill and of course not a peep. I'd say he left after 20 minutes to 1/2 hour. We went back inside and talked about it for a while then we went upstairs.

Now it got weird. We were upstairs for a while (an hour maybe less) when we thought we heard it again. We went to the window and it screamed again just as we got there, loud from behind the main house. I ran downstairs and yelled at my dad, I remember him sitting in his chair and Johnny Carson was doing his monologue so it was between 11:30 and 12:00. They were always in bed by 12:30 - 1:00 on work nights.

We ran upstairs, met my ex and brother at the top of the stairs, and headed into my folks bathroom which had the best vantage point at the back hill with a south facing window. I got there first and listened for a few seconds when suddenly a large scream bellowed forth followed by a very loud electronic 'beep'. My dad was at my side and I said 'Listen, I heard a beep' and on queue, loud scream - beep. It had moved about 5 feet east at that point with no sound (remember the sagebrush) and then it did it a third time (scream - beep) and had moved a little further. 

My ex was screaming about somebody putting a needle in her belly button (The Betty/Barney Hill movie had aired about a month ago) so I stepped back to the door to comfort her, I saw this blinding white light that seemed to fill the house and then we are all standing in the hallway and going off in different directions to go to bed. My brother decided he wanted to sleep in the chair instead of alone and when we got into my bedroom I saw the clock said 4:30 exactly. I remember I could hear the screams now from there original point by the poles on the hill, but we all went to sleep.

Everybody went to work the next morning, but I called in sick cause my ex didn't want to stay there alone. I went up the hill to the east of the property as far as I could get and there were 2 circular patterns in a clearing where there were weeds, about 8 feet in diameter. That was all I saw and that was the end of that.

A woman who worked at my mothers work (an optometrist's office) told her that day she was driving up Erbes road about 7:30 that night when she saw 2 cars stopped on Erbes with people looking up at our hill, and she looked and saw a bright white light hovering over the hill east of our house, and then it just disappeared.

Aftermath:

We talked to my cousin next door and they heard nothing (I have no explanation because they should have, that thing was LOUD) and they said they were home and never heard the phone ring.

The male German Sheppard went fast. He was 5 years old, and in the weeks following the incident, he lost control of his nervous system to the point he couldn't function and was put to sleep. The vet said he had no idea what was wrong with him. The female went blind (7 years old) over the next few months and she too was put to sleep.

My dad seemed to age rapidly for the next year and 1/2 and died of a heart attack at a company picnic in August 1977.

My daughter was born normally, but has had a few 'strange' incidents and I watched her lose her baby teeth then get in her adult teeth, only to lose them all at age 12 and get a third set of teeth, The dentist said it wasn't happening but we know it did.

A few months after the encounter, I went and laid down after work and spiked a 106 temperature. I was sick for a year, was put in the hospital and tested for hepatitis and cancer but they had no idea what was wrong with me. The only thing they told me was my blood work showed some irregularity and I was told not to give blood.

The lady that worked with my mom quit unexpectedly that day and I never had a chance to ask her about it as she committed suicide shortly there after.

That's it. The scream and fireballs were strange, but the fact we all went to bed and didn't seem to care that our 10 minutes in the bathroom turned into 4 hours was maybe the strangest. I have no explanation for any of it.

This was hard to write about. I had to stop once and thinking about it still causes Goosebumps.

A couple of days after that my dad, brother and I were on our front yard talking about this encounter, when my dad told us the following story. He joined the Air Force in 1950 after 2 years at the University of Minnesota and spent some time in Korea as a jet mechanic and then came stateside and was stationed at Sioux City Iowa, were he was trained as a radar technician. 

One night in 1954 the whole base went on alert suddenly and he was told there was an unknown object coming from the north. They got a radar reading that it was at 50000-80000 feet and traveling in excess of 1,200 mph (I recall him saying 1,800 mph but my brother said 1200 so we'll go with that). 

It went off the screen to the south, and everybody in the room was told to forget it even happened. He never told us about that before, but my mom confirmed today that he told her about it the next day (he was on the overnight shift).
