Additional Information:

Hi Brian, I am guessing you are in British Columbia, or the Pacific Northwest. Quite a bit out of my normal travel area. Anyway, it is still good to hear from you and to learn of your organization.

I was in the US Marine Corps, and served in the SE Asia area during 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, and 1969. It was during my 1965-66 tour that we were located to the northeast of Da Nang, and I was in an Artillery Fire Direction Center (FDC). We controlled close to 100 Field Artillery pieces in the Da Nang area, and could bring about 500 rounds onto one football field sized spot in about 3 minutes.

I have had some injuries from auto crashes since then and do not remember just when the incident occurred, but it was between February and July of 1966. I was on the late night shift and we got a call from the air base that a UFO had come in and landed at a set of coordinates generated by the GCA Radar. These plotted out in an area that we referred to as "Happy Valley."

The IFF response had been un heeded and the radar and visual tracking from an airborne craft in the area did not match any known aircraft. Since we were close to the DMZ, no one wanted to take any chances and we were given clearance to fire all available artillery on it. We had about 70+ pieces that could range the target so we plotted a time on target mission and fired 6 rounds per piece on the target.

The GCA radar kept watch on the area and the observer stayed a safe distance out of the lines of fire. We got the usual artillery bursts and at the end of the barrage there was a huge flash that registered on the GCA radar.

The air observer reported that nothing had left the area, and it was too dark to look for damage until sunup. We filed the fire mission request and record of fire with the other log sheets and had been advised that a ground crew was going in for TDA at first light. When we came on shift 2 days later we looked for the record of fire sheet to see what the ground crew had found.

We were amazed to find that the entire set of records for that mission had vanished. No one would admit to being told to pull it and we never did find out what we had hit other than the initial comments that had come back to us while we were firing on the target. I still have no clue what we shot. It was big and got a lot of people excited.

No other sightings were reported in our area that I heard about before I left in August of 1966. This has always been a puzzling experience, wandering around in the back of my mind. I have often wondered if we had in deed taken out an extraterrestrial space craft, and how badly we had irritated whom ever it belonged to.

Sorry I don't have more or better descriptive information on the craft or the post attack findings.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell this story. I would be interested in hearing about any thing that may have been found out about this incident as it has been bothering me for over 40 years now.

Thanks, and best wishes to you.

Thank you to the witness for their interesting report.

Landed Flying Saucer With Greenish Haze Surrounding It At Scranton Pennsylvania

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1968 - 1969

Brian Vike’s Note: I telephoned the lady who filed this report to me and we had a long and very nice conversation. She went onto tell me about a Black Triangle sighting she and her husband were witness to. This huge craft flew slowly over the road and above their vehicle.

Other people pulled their cars over and stopped on the road to watch this same craft. The lady, who's name is Judy also did a telephone interview with me for the radio show I host and this will be aired this coming Sunday, April 15, 2007.

So tune in, a very interesting report. Also I would like to make a request that if anyone knows of the a person holding these photos, or anyone who knows anything about this sighting would they please contact me here at brian_vike@telus.net

Hi, I don't know why I have ever reported this before, probably because I am not in touch with the student involved nor do I have the pictures. This happened in a community college English course where I was trying (as we teachers do) to drum up some interest in anything to a group of listless students.  So, I started talking about UFO's. 

I saw several boys in the back row poking one of their group and saying "tell her." So, I asked him and after some coaxing he told this amazing story:  His hobby was photography and he had a number of cameras. 

On this occasion he and some buddies had gone to visit his sister at her college near Wilkes Barre, Pa. (Having grown up in the Scranton area, I was familiar with the locale.)  As they were fooling around in the nearby woods they came upon a landed flying saucer.  As he had two cameras with him, one of which had a telephoto lens, he started taking pictures. Several of the other fellows started throwing rocks at it.  The rocks made a "ping" when they hit. 

They then became frightened and ran off.  When he came home he sent the pictures off to Eastman Kodak to be processed. These were color photos which he did not have the equipment to process.  Eastman Kodak returned on two or three of the shots with a letter explaining that such photos were routinely confiscated and if he wished further information he should contact the Dept. of Defense.  (His sister did so but got no response.) 

Anyway, I asked if I could see the pictures. He seemed reluctant, but he brought them in.  WOW.  The pictures showed very clearly an oval shaped "craft apparently of polished aluminum with a greenish haze around it. 

I have never to this day seen any pictures as clear cut or as close as this was. The student told me that the haze was actually blue to the sight but came out as green.  He took the pictures home. When several other teachers expressed interest, I asked him if he could bring them in again. 

He was obviously so uncomfortable that I apologized and dropped the subject. Unfortunately he dropped out of the class. I hope this incident was not the cause. I don't know whether this is  of any interest or not, but I can assure you that when I see the currently available pictures of UFOs  I have to laugh. This was the real thing.  (Retired English Professor, Suffolk Community College, Seldon, L.I.)  Currently living in N.Ft. Myers, Fl.

Additional Information:

Hi and thanks for your interest.  I would be happy to make a drawing but being an old lady (76) my knowledge of computer technology is elementary. I don't know how to send a picture, but the pictures were beautiful.

The "craft" was a slightly elongated egg or oval shape. The metallic surface, like polished aluminum or steel, was quite lovely. And the greenish haze that surrounded it was breathtaking. I do not recall any markings or detail. It was apparently resting on the ground, or very close to it. Yes, I would be glad to talk to you about the sighting or any other info I might have. 

I regret that I didn't report this at the time, but in that time period  there really weren't too many serious UFO students. If you are interested, my husband and I drove directly under one of the famous Hudson Valley craft that was written up by Hynek. 

My husband had a private pilot's license (and had been in the Naval Air Corps) and we can assure anyone that this was no extra-light plane.  I have followed the UFO scene over the years but just as an observer not as an active participant and certainly not as a groupie. Anyway, thanks for your kind interest and yes, I'd be happy to contribute whatever I can. Regards.

Thank you to Judy for the very interesting report and also for taking the time to speak to me on the telephone.

Orange Light Landed On Island And Seen From Toronto Ontario

Date:  August 31, 2012
Time:  Approx: 12:30 a.m.

Last night I was downtown Toronto facing southeast towards the lake from the Gardner on a buildings roof top and I saw one orange looking light not moving fast.

It appeared in the sky and then descend rapidly into the island across the lake into the forest. This was around 12:30 a.m. the light starts to die out once this thing landed.

I was approximately 3 to 4 km away from the landing area. Anyone else see this ?

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

Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.
