Date: September/November 2008
Time: 9:00 -9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Don Mills, over the 401.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round with tails.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hello, I'm not sure if this was a meteor, but I honestly do not believe it was as I have seen many meteors and they were nothing at all like these. First time was early September and I was looking out my 20th floor balcony westward and I saw quite low, I'd say nearly the level my building is at, a huge burning green ball of fire, falling slightly horizontal, but definitely towards the earth. This broke into a few orange chunks then faded out. At first I thought I saw a plane going down, It was huge and it reminded me of seeing challenger blowing up! Then two months later I was sitting at my computer and I looked towards the same balcony windows and saw out the corner of my eyes the exact same thing. Except now it's towards the east I saw it, and it's larger, brighter and doesn't turn into orange smaller pieces, just flashes and fades out. Once again, quite low, over the 401 highway, and huge! I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the same thing again. I couldn't sleep at all that night and I definitely couldn't comprehend what my eyes had seen. It looked like a piece of the sky was on green fire and only for a few brief seconds. There was no way this was a comet, it was so low to the earth and it looked as if I could reach out and touch it.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Hope Princeton Highway Mystery
Posted: October 19, 2008
Date: October 15, 2008
Time: Daytime.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, I'm not sure exactly what to call this event. It wasn't missing time so much as mixed up time and missing roads!
A couple of days ago, Wednesday October 15th I was on a road trip back to my home town of Oliver in the Okanagan Valley. My two brothers, both retired school teachers, were with me. We left the Tsawwassen ferry terminal near Vancouver shortly after 11 A.M. for what is normally a slightly more than a five hour trip. After driving for about an hour we stopped to get some coffee. Since they wanted Starbucks and I wanted McDonald's coffee it took us a while to find the outlets and get back on the freeway. We chose to go the southern route to the interior via the Hope Princeton Highway. All three of us know that road very well. As children with our parents and later individually as adults (we now are in our 50's and 60's) we have traveled it too many times to count. My brother is a good driver and knows that the Hope Princeton highway is not built for speeding. Although there was not much traffic we did get behind some slow trucks several times. We were not in any hurry so it did not matter.
As the road goes into the mountains from the small town of Hope it becomes mostly two lanes wide with the exception of passing lanes. I was aware of, but not actually looking for, familiar landmarks. At one point I remember wondering when we had passed the area of a big forest fire. Although the area has re-grown it is still easy to identify. I assumed I'd missed it while talking to my brothers. I also realized I'd not seen a particular corner that I was looking for. I was going to show them where I'd almost been hit by a car spinning out of control many years ago. Eventually we reached Manning Park where the road becomes four lanes for the complete length of the park. There are numerous camping and picnic sites in the area. We decided to watch for a pull out area by the river so we could have a picnic lunch. Although we were looking, none of us saw any of the picnic spots and very soon we were out of the park and back on the two lane road.
However I knew that a short distance ahead, down a steep twisting hill and around a corner we would come to a wide flat area right beside the river. I've stopped there many times. It is one of the few wide spots on the road with large gravel parking areas on both sides. The road then goes up a long straight hill. I assumed that is where my brother was going to stop. He didn't. When we went around the corner everything was different. It was not there. We kept driving up and down hills and around corners that confused me. I did not know exactly where we were. I wondered if something was the matter with me! I didn't say anything. Neither did my brothers.
Eventually we came out of the mountains and passed through the town of Princeton and shortly after that we stopped at a picnic site for lunch.
I then asked my brother why he had not stopped beside the river where I'd assumed he would. His answer disturbed yet relieved me. All he said was "It wasn't there. When we went around the corner that whole part was gone" He wasn't scared, but was confused and uneasy. My other brother then commented that he had been watching for the forest fire area but never saw it and all three of us mentioned that we had traveled the four lane road in the park very quickly. It had seemed about half as long as usual and none of us had seen the camping and picnic sites we were looking for.
After the half hour lunch stop we continued on our way. Everything seemed normal for the rest of the trip and eventually we arrived at our destination. But we were at least an hour earlier than we should have been. Considering the speed my brother was driving and the length of time of the two stops, the trip should have taken over five hours or even closer to six. It took just a tiny bit over four hours.
When it came time to go home we went another way.
Just for the record, there was no road work being done in that area and since that is one of the better parts of the road I doubt that they would change it anyway. Plus, even if they made artificial hills and needless corners how would they manage to hide a river in such a narrow valley?
So Brian, you receive a great many accounts of possible missing time. I realize this one is more like disrupted time. It is as if we jumped over at least four sections of the road and never noticed. Any ideas?
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Highway 642, SE Of Sioux Lookout, Ontario A Circular UFO
Posted: August 12, 2008
Date: August 11, 2008
Time: 9:37 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Highway 642, SE of Sioux Lookout.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circular/disc shape.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving towards Sioux Lookout on highway 642, which is a small highway. Approximately, halfway between Silver Dollar and Sioux Lookout, the circular object appeared in front of us. The object had 2 bright lights underneath, they were a bright yellow/white colour. The lights were pretty large, considering the size of the object, they almost lit up the whole underside, however, the lights were too bright to see if the object had a certain colour. The lights were also pulsing. Pretty much, from bright to brighter. We were travelling 85km/h and heading NW. The object was a few hundred meters up, my guess is between 500-600 meters. It was heading SE and we just crossed paths. I quickly checked the time to establish the time of the sighting.
However, when the object came into view, it began to move left and right while still proceeding SE. The movement I would describe as snake like, it went right, left, right, left. I was coming up a hill and I kept glancing over at it to try and get a good, hard look at it. However, I was too scared to stop my vehicle and observe it.
The sun was almost set and there were only a few clouds in the sky. There were only a few stars out because it wasn't dark enough yet to see all of them. From when I saw the object to when I reached town limits was 25 minutes.
If you have any more questions, I'd like to give you any information that I could. Thank You.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Highway 417 Ottawa Towards Montreal A Low Flying Bright Green Sphere
Posted: July 14, 2008
Date: July 14, 2008
Time: 1:40 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Highway 417 Ottawa towards Montreal.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving at 90kms/hour (cruise control) and was about 70kms from Ottawa on the 417. There was very little traffic and the sky was clear and quite bright with moonlight. I was 'over taken' by a low flying bright green sphere. It was going extremely fast, creating a streak of green and the trajectory was parallel to the ground. It passed by in an instance. If I had seen the exhaust pipe of an airplane there would have been a big noise - but there was nothing.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has reported this object - will you let me know please. Thanks.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Trans-Canada Highway Near The Border Of Saskatchewan And Manitoba UFO
Posted: July 13, 2008
Date: November 1999.
Time: Between 8:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Trans-Canada Highway near the border of Saskatchewan and Manitoba (we were in Saskatchewan by then).
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Flat cone dome top, with large middle section. Could not see bottom/base due to fog.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hello,
Very recently a friend told me that two of his friends experienced a UFO flying closely over them while sitting by a field and that he believes them. After some reassuring, it led me to tell him my own story and ever since, I've been looking for reports and stories by other people that I can relate to.
In 1999, my family moved from Regina, Saskatchewan to Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) to be closer to relatives. It took us over a year to fully settle in Winnipeg and we would have to take very short trips between the two cities often throughout that first year to bring back more belongings or deal with some unfinished business and property transfers. That summer I had just turned 16 years old and I was particularly observant of the experience of being on any road, even while I wasn't driving. I was not a confident driver and was paranoid of having accidents.
In early November of that year (I think it was before/around remembrance day), my brother and I had a long weekend off from school and we wanted to join our father on his next quick trip back to Regina to do some business. He would only be there overnight and half of the next day, but we wanted to visit our old school friends.
That night on the highway, there was a heavy storm. We left later than planned, and it quickly became dark just after 4pm or 5pm. I remember feeling quite nervous because visibility was very poor. We could only see a few meters in front of us and the anxiety made me keep focus on the road - to be a second pair of eyes on our surroundings - while making noise or engaging in light conversations with both my brother and father in the hopes of keeping my fathers mind awake and alert (usually I like to just sleep through the 6-7 hour drive). There was no radio and we did not have tapes to play, nor a CD player to help with that.
After a long drive in the dark rain for a couple of hours, we entered a thick fog. It made the space around us seem a little brighter but in fact it didn't help our visibility because we could still only see a few meters of the road that was directly in front of us. However, the rain wasn't as heavy.
After 20-30 minutes in the fog, we saw that we were driving towards a section that was lit up. The light was coming from what we thought was the top of a grain elevator. We've made the trip between Regina and Winnipeg many times during our lives and know that grain elevators would be the only thing that would stand as tall. But I also thought, right away, that it was unusual for a farm building to be that close to the highway. I remember pondering the very thought in the situation, comparing past trips and recalling only to have ever seen a backlit highway billboard to have a light shining as close to the road.
We could see that the area ahead was brightly lit - as bright as it would look as if it had been day. I remember feeling some relief, though, and feeling thankful that a farmer was considerate enough to erect a building with a bright light shining on the road for travelers in the dark.
Just before we pierced through the fog to pass by the structure, the rain had completely stopped and we found ourselves in what I assumed to be the middle of the storm. Fog still surrounded us, but the light was bright enough that I could see through parts of it. My eyes scanned upwards towards the light where it was clearest and I saw that the top was a flat cone shape dome/roof. I thought that maybe I was wrong about the grain elevator because it looked more like a silo. However, just below the light was a second level of the structure that was a larger sort of base continuing to grow out like a wide-based cone. I could not see any lines, nor see through some patches of the fog to discern what the entire shape of the base was but it's presence was large - it took up as much ground space as a tall building would (that's the best I can describe it). I did not see any other lines, seams, addresses or words on its surface and there was no other colour but silver. It looked newly built out of metal.
I observed all of that within 5-10 seconds only. My eyes quickly moved to the closest light, facing towards the road. There were at least 2 other lights that I could see through the fog. They were rectangles- not too square, but not long like a fluorescent bulb either. It was so bright that eventually I felt blinded by it and saw only white. At that point, I considered that it was a new kind of agricultural architecture. I even considered that it was a set for a movie, and that some production company was shooting a film and had their brightest lights out.
As the car moved further away, the fog began to cover the light and gradually the rain pounded the road and we were back to driving in a dark storm.
No one in our car had said a word while driving through the middle of the fog. It felt as though we were in a trance for what seemed to be 10-15 minutes back into the storm. Finally my father said out loud, "What was that?!" and we all agreed that it was a strange sighting. Still, no one mentioned that it could possibly have been a UFO until the next day when my father hesitantly voiced the idea on our drive back. It was a clear sunny day with an entirely blue sky. All three of us watched the side of the road hoping to find a structure at the same location the night before to confirm that it was just a regular building, but we only saw farm fields and groups of structures in the distance.
It was only when we arrived home that we agreed that we may have seen a UFO up-close. But we've never talked about it with each other any further. Very rarely over the years we've had to ask one another about the incident to confirm that it wasn't our individual imaginations at work that night. But still to this day, we've kept it to ourselves because we don't think anyone else would believe us.
One car passed us in the opposite direction just after we drove through the fog, and there was one car at varying distances before and behind us during most of the drive. I've always wondered if they've reported anything. I feel very hesitant and awkward to talk about it, and to admit what I saw, but I'm writing this now for the record because I'm not sure I will talk about it again. If there are people who saw the same thing that night at least they can know that there are three people who saw it too.
Thank you to the witness for the amazing sighting report.

As the car moved further away, the fog began to cover the light and gradually the rain pounded the road and we were back to driving in a dark storm.
No one in our car had said a word while driving through the middle of the fog. It felt as though we were in a trance for what seemed to be 10-15 minutes back into the storm. Finally my father said out loud, "What was that?!" and we all agreed that it was a strange sighting. Still, no one mentioned that it could possibly have been a UFO until the next day when my father hesitantly voiced the idea on our drive back. It was a clear sunny day with an entirely blue sky. All three of us watched the side of the road hoping to find a structure at the same location the night before to confirm that it was just a regular building, but we only saw farm fields and groups of structures in the distance.
It was only when we arrived home that we agreed that we may have seen a UFO up-close. But we've never talked about it with each other any further. Very rarely over the years we've had to ask one another about the incident to confirm that it wasn't our individual imaginations at work that night. But still to this day, we've kept it to ourselves because we don't think anyone else would believe us.
One car passed us in the opposite direction just after we drove through the fog, and there was one car at varying distances before and behind us during most of the drive. I've always wondered if they've reported anything. I feel very hesitant and awkward to talk about it, and to admit what I saw, but I'm writing this now for the record because I'm not sure I will talk about it again. If there are people who saw the same thing that night at least they can know that there are three people who saw it too.
Thank you to the witness for the amazing sighting report.

Vancouver, British Columbia UBC Highway Green Orbs (UFOs)
Posted: July 6, 2008
Date: July 6, 2008
Time: 12:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Vancouver, B.C., UBC Highway.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1-2
Shape of objects: Round green orbs.
Full Description of event/sighting: At approximately 12:30 am early in the morning of July 6, 2008, me and a friend witnessed a flashing green orb in the sky. We were on the UBC Highway about a kilometer west of Dunbar in Vancouver. I noticed the orb first and pointed it out to my friend and we both got out of the car to watch it. It was located in the southwest area of the sky at about a 45 degree angle and was about the size of a dime from the distance we were standing. We witnessed it for about 10 minutes before it disappeared for a few moments only to then reappear for another 5 minutes or so. At one point the green orb seemed to split into two green orbs then rejoin into one, also at one point there seemed to be a green tale that came from the orb extending vertically upwards. We both couldn't believe what we were seeing as neither one of us has seen anything like it in our lives.
At about 12:45 am, after the green orb disappeared I dropped my friend off about five minutes away and started to drive home alone. Here's where it gets weird. At 12:49 am I got a phone call on my cell from private number and when I answered heard a really strange series of high pitched tones with a static in the background. It lasted for about 10 seconds then the line went dead. A minute later my friend who I had just dropped off called me with the exact same experience with the phone call. I should state that my cell number has not been in use as it is not my normal cell and no one I know has the number.
The identical phone calls as well as the sighting are completely freaking me out, I am completely baffled. If anyone has any information or similar experiences I would be grateful for any insight.
Thank you to the witness for this very interesting report.

Alaska Highway, Yukon Territory Unexplained Lights (UFO) - Missing Time ?
Posted: June 15, 2008
Date: September 1970
Time: Night time event.
Location of Sighting: Alaska Highway Yukon Territory.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Bright lights.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian
About a week ago I sent you an article from the Whitehorse Star titled "Santa, was that you". I sent it because I knew the people involved, the RCMP Officer very well and the others slightly. I have also looked at other Yukon sightings and because of what I've read I am sending you a report.
At the time of the event, I just left it as something I could not forget and could not explain. Now after reading of similar reports and from a person (RCMP) I know to be very calm, levelheaded and truthful, I feel better mentioning what I saw. I will also mention that he was not happy about his sighting and did not like to talk about it.
The drive from Whitehorse to Vancouver is about 1500 miles. When I was living there the first 800 miles from Whitehorse was a empty isolated gravel road. There were very few communities and no side roads. For many hundreds of miles on both sides of the road were nothing but trees, rivers and mountains.
In those days if we wanted to drive "outside" we usually drove non stop with at least two drivers. I was working as a technician at the local Hospital and decided to drive to out with one of the Doctors who also needed to go to Vancouver. At this time I'd already driven the Highway five times, so was quite comfortable with the idea of the long drive.
We left early on a Friday afternoon and took turns driving. In September the sun sets early in the Yukon so it was not long before we were in complete darkness. There was no light except from the headlights and the stars. Very late at night it was my turn to drive. As soon as he got in the passenger seat the Doctor fell asleep. The drive was easy. There was no other traffic and all I had to watch for were animals and broken grader blades that could shred a tire.
For at least half an hour I drove with nothing to see but the gravel road, our headlights periodically reflecting off train tracks on the left side the road and a faint outline of trees. Off in the distance I saw the bright light of an approaching train. It was flickering as it passed behind trees and got steadily brighter but before we met, it was out of sight. Assuming the tracks had moved farther from the road I thought nothing of it.
For another two hours I drove and nothing had changed. The doctor was still sleeping. There was still nothing but gravel road, train tracks and tree outlines. I began to feel I was on a treadmill! Then again I saw the distant light of another approaching train. This time it got brighter much faster and within minutes it was only a few hundred feet in front of me. With nothing else around but blackness the light was blinding. Then in a great flash it streaked along the train tracks and disappeared behind us.
The train had made no noise and there were no following cars. I stopped the car. The Doctor woke up and asked why I'd stopped. All I said was "We've been following train tracks for two hours and I've seen two trains go by" He looked at me oddly and all he said was "I'll drive". Numbly and uneasily I got out of the car and we changed places. We never spoke of it again.
You see, the problem was this. The train from Whitehorse is the White Pass & Yukon Railway. About 10 miles out of Whitehorse it turns west, leaves the Alaska Highway and heads to Skagway. There were (and are) NO train tracks or trains running beside the Alaska Highway hundreds of miles from any towns and in the middle of nowhere.
I know I saw two large bright lights and non existent train tracks. What I really saw I don't know. You often ask, was there any missing time? I don't know. There were no landmarks to orient where we were. I do know we finally arrived in Vancouver at least three hours later than we'd planned but in 1500 mile there could be rational reasons for the delay. Although we were not aware of any delays, ten minutes here and there can add up.
So Brian. This is my contribution to the stories of the Yukon lights that were appearing in the 60' and 70's.
Thank you to the witness for the very interesting report.
