Amateur Astronomer Just Misses Taking A Picture Of A UFO 3 Miles North Of Selma Alabama

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Around December 1, 2010

Time:  Evening astronomical twilight.

Location of Sighting: 3 miles north of Selma Alabama.

Number of witnesses: 3 (Brothers)

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Circular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My brother put his head in the door to tell my other brother and I that the International Space Station is going to make a fly over.

When we get outside, I was ask "What's that star over there", being an amateur astronomer for over twenty-five years I had immediately noticed as soon as I got out doors that Venus was conspicuously bright in the South West sky.

As high and bright as it gets I had noticed it's bright blue white color and it's position approximately forty degrees above the SW horizon along the ecliptic. I tell them what it is and continue setting up my camera and tripod. The station comes over and the evening is uneventful.

Two days later it hits me that Venus is not in the Western sky now, at that time I wasn't keeping up with the planetary positions but had been out looking at the sky a couple of days earlier. Sure enough I open my astronomy software and see that Venus is close to the Sol in the morning sky.

There I was with my camera on a tripod with a stationary UFO and didn't get any pictures. I have plenty of Pictures of Venus and waiting to get an image of the ISS I didn't want to setup my camera for Venus when the Station was about to come over.

Too bad I missed this opportunity because I could have gotten some great photos of the object all that would have been seen though would have been a light source in the night sky. I would have liked to get a look at it with my eight inch Schmidt Cassegrain scope.

Observations:

1. The Object looked stellar (outside the atmosphere).

2. The Object must have been using a lot of energy to put out that much light.

3. Position 40 degrees above SW horizon along the Ecliptic.

4. Looked exactly like Venus, Color, Brilliance were the same. It was positioned along the ecliptic.

5. Object was not Jupiter, Mars, Sirius, or any of the other bright stars around Orion,

6. Three Witnesses.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Three White Lights Seen In Ohio Approximately 19 Miles Outside Of West Virginia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 13, 2011

Time:  Before midnight.

I saw something very similar to this expect, it was in Ohio about 19 miles outside of West Virginia. I was driving on 77 South and happened to look to my left and I saw 3 lights similar to the picture you have except they flew out of sight real fast past the tree-line.

I have driven past this same spot many, many times and have looked every time at the same exact spot and I have not seen this phenomena any other time.

I've even driven past during the day and there are no lights or even houses or anything near this area. The closest house of lights of any kind are about 1.5 or more miles away. Just thought I'd let you know that I saw something similar.

The lights were just a bright white color. Thanks

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Sparks Seen Falling From UFO Approximately 7 Miles South Of Covington Virginia (Graphic)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1985 or 1986. (?)

Time:  Approxamtlty 3:20 p.m.

Hello, I was in high school and just walked off the bus at the end of the day. The time was approximately 3:20pm I was walking the dirt path to my parents house from the bus stop. I walked 1/4 way home then I realized there was something in the air above the trees.

I stopped and stood by fence until I couldn't see it anymore. The shape was perfectly round, red like fire, but not illuminated or bright like the sun. I stared at it as it was very slowly falling with no noise while sparks and embers seemed to be emitting from the outer round shell and falling to the ground.

It appeared damaged as it was falling. What surprised me the most was how long it seemed to take for it to fall. I extended my arm and covered the disk with my thumb and when I seen it the first time, it looked like around 25 - 35 feet above treetops, and around 30 minutes later, it finally was unseen as it disappeared below treetops from my vision.

It was close enough to me to see the color and fire from the disk itself. The best way to show a picture is to draw it, but I remember what happened like yesterday.

I know the drawing is basic, but like I said, I just want to know if anyone else posted or reported an image or object of the same nature, anywhere else.

The location of this sighting is approximately 7 miles south of Covington, VA. I believe it was 1985 or 86.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Red Colored UFO Seen From Cruise Ship 10 Miles From Miami Florida

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 2003

Time:  Approxamtlty 9:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: Perhaps 30 people on deck.

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Unknown.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I looked up to see a light rise above the ocean and arc skyward at a reasonable speed. I thought it was a flare. It rose very high and came to a split second stop, then zipped straight across the sky at an awesome speed.

It again came to a split second pause and then zoomed in the opposite direction. By this time everyone on deck was watching this thing. It was out over the ocean beyond our ship which was headed in to Miami.

We watched the movement for 15-20 minutes. It would descend in some movements and then zoom skyward again. There is no way this could have been a flare nor a conventional aircraft. After 15-20 minutes it zoomed out toward Cuba and that was the last we saw of it.

It was a glowing red light, unblinking, and at times there appeared to also be a white light. It was too far out for us to distinguish a shape.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Sasquatch Maybe In The Area 80 Miles Northwest Of Prince Albert Saskatchewan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 16, 2012

Time:  12:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, I have been listening to you on Rense for many years and am always interested in the reports here in Canada.

I don’t want you to give out my name, but would like to tell you about something that is ongoing.

We have a place 80 miles North West of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. There are trails that I groom for a small resort.

On Thursday August 16, 2012 I was mowing one of the trails that is about 3 kilometers in the bush away from the resort, there are not many people around here and a great deal of government land for many kilometers.

On the one section of trail I kept hearing noises above the sound of the lawn mower, at the same time got the feeling that I was being watched.

I stopped several times to look around thinking that there might be a deer, moose or more importantly a bear around, but I never saw anything and kept mowing.

I came across several young trees about an inch to a inch and a half thick that had been broken between 6 and 7 foot level. Initially I thought it was a moose or elk passing by, but later changed my mind.

I had been mowing for several hours, it was 12:30 p.m. so I parked the mower on the trail and walked back to my cabin for lunch, about 50 minutes later I came back.

Where I had parked my mower there was a young tree freshly snapped at the 7 foot height.

I know this was not broken before because I was working on that trail and the way the tree was broken, it came across the trail making it necessary to duck in order to pass.

This was within 3 feet of my mower at that point. I started looking carefully for more broken trees, I saw several, some fresh and some a day or more old, it was only in that area though, along that section of trail.

At that point I still was not sure what was doing this, I know no human was on the path during that time, and after experimenting with some other trees came to the conclusion that it wasn’t an Elk or Moose. I could take a similar size tree and bend it to the ground and the tree would spring back up with no harm done.

I checked the trees for antler scrapes or claw marks, but found none. At this point I started thinking the only way to break a tree in this fashion would require something resembling a hand in order to brace the tree and another hand to pull it down and snap it.

That evening I put up a trail cam, but only caught a small doe and her fawn. I intend to do more, but was leaving the next day and won’t be back for a couple of weeks.

After going on the internet and seeing what signs there were where Sasquatch were suspected, I recall a couple more things that at the time I ignored. With the broken trees and sounds, I also smelt an odor that at the time I put off to a skunk, it was a little different smell but close enough.

I even remarked that the smell had moved from where I had smelt it in the morning when I took my son on the trails in the evening. Also I had come across an area where several branches had been piled against a tree in a crude shelter.

I had put it off to kids playing and that still could be the case. In the past my dog would at times freeze and not continue any further, the thought that maybe a Lynx, Wolf or Coyote was nearby and she was scared and we usually headed back to the cabin.

We hear Coyotes and Wolves most nights, sometimes very close. On the trail that evening she froze and didn’t want to continue, with a little coaxing she continued, but stayed by my side and didn’t go on ahead like she normally does.

When I get back I will be putting the trail cam back up and taking some pictures.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Classic Grey Flying Saucer/UFO 10 Miles South Of Ft. Hunter Liggett Army Base Jolon California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date of Sighting: June 1998 (Approxamtlty)

Time of Sighting: around 9:30 pm

Location of Sighting: 10 mi south of Ft. Hunter Liggett Army Base, Jolon, CA

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Saucer.

Full Description of event/sighting: At the time of the sighting my ex husband and I were living in the hills of the Central California coastal mountain range. My husband had mentioned that, the night before, he had seen a strange light on the horizon in the direction of the army base, and decided to go out on the next night and try to see if it came back. After being outside about 1/2 hour, he called me outside and handed me binoculars.

I saw what can only be described as a classic saucer grey, like two inverted saucers stuck together, and a row of lights around the middle. The lights blinked slowly off and on, and they were red, green or blue, and white. 

This thing hovered low on the horizon, then shot off to the left in the blink of an eye and hovered there, then shot back and hovered, then turned on it's side, did some weird stuff (tip on it's side, then right itself again), and finally after about 5 minutes it slowly descended below the horizon.

Ft. Hunter Liggett Army base is an experimental testing base. I worked there for three years previously, and had seen things like the apache helicopters hovering still while shooting javelin missiles and whatnot, and this thing was not at all like anything I had previously seen on that base.

I thought at the time that the army had a working flying saucer and was testing it.  But I don't know, of course, and wasn't working there at the time of the sighting.

I have looked on the net and saw that there is an abduction story from a soldier stationed there in the late 60s.  It doesn't surprise me one bit.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

Huge Cylindrical UFO 50 Miles North Laredo Texas Over Rio Grande River

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 3, 2006

Time:  10:15 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large, cylindrical/with skids underneath.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was patrolling slowly along the dirt road that parallels the river, as I was on Border patrol with the Texas Minutemen. I was driving slowly along the road, which was quite muddy as we had just had a lot of rain. 

I was stopping often, and observing the country and brush with my binoculars as I was looking for illegal aliens. I had started patrolling around 7:00 a.m. that morning, going northward at an average speed of maybe 15 mph, as the road was rough, and I stopped periodically to glass large vistas. 

At about 10:15 a.m. I was pulled over, with my engine shut off, and was observing a large panorama from a small hill I was on top of, as the road made it’s way along the Rio Grande River, about a mile or two off to my left. 

Weather was fair, with broken, large white cumulus clouds. My attention was drawn to a flash of sunlight from up in the sky to the northwest of my position. I observed an object in the sky at an elevation of approximately 1/2 mile above the ground.

It was hard to tell with my naked eye what it was, so I threw my 10X50 binoculars up on it and was shocked by what I saw! The object was huge! It was about 10-12 miles away, but was still huge in the glasses. 

The closest thing I can compare it to would be a giant propane tank, like you would see in a propane supply yard. You know, the main tank for filling everything. It appeared to have some kind of structure underneath it, much like the supports under a giant propane tank. 

What was amazing, was that the object was just sitting there, absolutely motionless, with clouds rolling right past it, and on either side of it.  It was hovering absolutely motionless in the sky. 

I watched it for about 5 minutes or so, and finally remembered that I had my camcorder with me, and tried shooting the object, but clouds had enveloped it by the time I got it ready to roll. By the time the clouds cleared in the area again, the object had disappeared. 

This object was much to large to have been a blimp, of which I have seen many. The object had some kind of writing, or a symbol on its nose, that looked black. Object appeared to be metallic. Object had to be at least 100 feet long, or longer.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

Sasquatch Maybe In The Area 80 Miles Northwest Of Prince Albert Saskatchewan

Date:  August 16, 2012
Time:  12:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, I have been listening to you on Rense for many years and am always interested in the reports here in Canada.

I don’t want you to give out my name, but would like to tell you about something that is ongoing.
We have a place 80 miles North West of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. There are trails that I groom for a small resort.

On Thursday August 16, 2012 I was mowing one of the trails that is about 3 kilometers in the bush away from the resort, there are not many people around here and a great deal of government land for many kilometers.

This was within 3 feet of my mower at that point. I started looking carefully for more broken trees, I saw several, some fresh and some a day or more old, it was only in that area though, along that section of trail.

At that point I still was not sure what was doing this, I know no human was on the path during that time, and after experimenting with some other trees came to the conclusion that it wasn’t an Elk or Moose.

8 Miles South Of Forest, Ontario Massive UFO

Posted: April 5, 2009

Date: Victoria Day, mid 1980's
Time: Beginning dusk 8:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: 8 miles south of Forest, Ontario Canada.
Number of witnesses: 12
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Brian, I would somehow like to briefly speak to you, as I am somewhat reluctant, as I have never publicly spoke of this before other than to my wife who was present at the time of this event and at the time to (name removed of), Sarnia, Ontario who was the local/regional investigator for MUFON at the time. This event was not lights in the sky, but an object of massive size, very near to us and at a very low altitude (3,000-5,000) feet would be generous. If this had not been a such a life altering event for myself, I might have never reached out to your site.

The amount of quality and detail of the object is really hard to believe let alone comprehend and I want to pass it on to someone who I consider (In the expertise), you, will not judge, but take it for what it was. Reports of the object also seen by motorists on HWY. 402 were posted in local newspapers the next day only to disappear from any records or archives later. There is no record/microfiche or other of the reports that were published. There is no-doubt in my mind, I read the articles as others did, but there is no records whatsoever to be found. This is just but one of the many after accounts related to, but no-less bizarre details. Enough said, If you want to hear a, with all sincerity, a event that occurred and with most of the details remembered, as there is not a day, that I do not give it a thought, and this could become quite lengthy, when all is said and done. Lights in the sky! ? You've got
nothing on me! In all sincerity.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.
