On January 1, 2004 about noon, the weather was clear and cold with a blanket of snow covering the whole area. I was living in a 17th. fl. apt. in N. Surrey. I am partially disabled, so don't go out much. To amuse myself if the weather was clear, I would watch the skiers over on the North shore mountains through high powered binoculars.
I was doing this January 1, but got bored and decided to see if I could see any animals on the mountain sides. On the mountain across from Port Moody, near the Hydro substation I noticed about half a dozen people apparently snowboarding in a large clearing, found out later it was the west end of the Westwood Plateau Golf Course.
To their left, almost directly under the high voltage power lines, is a small clump of trees next to a hill. On the north side of the trees I saw what appeared to be a large black stump. As I watched the people finished one run and started back up the hill, they apparently decided to go higher and started to veer over towards the clump of trees.
Suddenly the black stump separated into two huge humanoids, they appeared to stare momentarily at the people, then turned and moved off to the NNW into the trees on the north side of the clearing. They appeared to be about four times the size of the people, estimated 8 to 10 feet in height.
I observed the people find the tracks and stand there for a few minutes apparently discussing the situation, the people then left back down the hill. The next day I was watching the clearing from daybreak in hopes of seeing something else. At approximately 10:00 a.m., I observed a very tall shaggy humanoid walk across the south side of the course and go into the small clump of trees. This individual appeared to be twice the height of the black creatures, perhaps 14 to 16 feet tall.
About half the height of the deciduous trees growing in the area. It had auburn, coloured hair approximately six inches long covering it’s body, looked very slender compared to the black guys. Like looking at the Wookie from Star Wars only far taller. Fog rolled in and for about a hour I couldn't see. The fog lifted just in time for me to see it leave the clump and head NNE across the clearing.
I reported every thing I was seeing to the late Graham Conway, I was hoping he might get it checked out as I could plainly see the trails they were making, snow was two or three feet deep when I first saw them. Graham told me later he hadn’t believed me, as he figured they were to close to the houses. I finally managed to get film for my camera and he was quite surprised to see the course was right up against the forest.
By then the snow had all melted. I continued to monitor the area until the first week in February. Last sighting was one of the black creatures walking east beside a sand trap on the south side of the course. During the five or so weeks I observed the area I saw a number of Deer, several Bears, the bears went into the clump of trees and within minutes came running back out.
Same thing, a number of dogs did, ran in apparently playing, ran out with tails between their legs. Towards the end of January I saw one of the black creatures walk across another section of the course and go into the trees, that afternoon I saw about half a dozen golfers show up with their carts. I watched them drive to where the black creature had been earlier, they stopped and got out and appeared to be looking at tracks, they left their carts and followed the same path across the course and into the trees.
They had no sooner gone from sight when I saw a large animal ran from the trees on the north side of the course. It appeared to be an Elk or antlerless Moose and it appeared to be fleeing from something and ran east down one of the cart paths. I glanced back at the trees just in time to see the large auburn haired creature standing there looking across the course to where I'd last seen the golfers.
It stared for about 30 seconds, walked about 20 feet then went back under the trees, I could still see him hiding there, seconds later what appeared to be his wife and son copied his movements, the female? appeared about a foot shorter than the male and what I presumed to be their son was about a foot shorter than her.
I was watching through my spotting scope when I saw them and could clearly see their ling shaggy hair. The black ones looked just like the creature from the Roger Patterson film. The beginning of March 2004, I drove to the area with my wife, she waited at the car while I attempted to walk in. I wanted to go into the clump of trees and see if there was any evidence, turned out it was farther than I thought maybe several hundred yards, ground was very uneven and sloped, I got about a hundred feet and chickened out, I took a photo and it turned out to have about the same perspective as I was getting through my binoculars only much clearer.
Their appears to be a large stump within that clump of trees so maybe the animals are hiding there. One thing that kind of creeped me out was that it was a dead zone, no noise, no birds, no wind and the feeling I was being watched. Had the same feeling up in the mountains near Port Alberni years ago and found Cougar tracks and when I retraced my foot steps.
Anyway I didn't care for the sensation and since I could barely walk retreated as quick as possible, that feeling lifted as soon as I got back on the road and safely in my car. I was keeping a running diary as to what, when and were I was seeing things but sent it all to Graham, also reported to BFRO bigfoot reports, they sent me a file number and that was that.
One thing I noticed when the tall Auburn haired guys were watching the people, they looked like they would be as tall as four golf carts piled on each other.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Date: March 13, 2007
Time: 12:35 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Over house on Melanie, Ancaster.
Number
of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: A line of lights on an angle, chevron in appearance.
Full Description of event/sighting: First thing I would like to say is that I was really shaken by what I saw during the early morning of March 13, 2007. This is my birthday.
I had just dropped off a friend and was on my way home driving on a street called Amberly. I went to stop at a stop sign on Amberly at Melanie. I looked to my left to notice a huge triangular object approximately 240 feet away from me sitting still over a house.
The UFO was larger than the house. Several lights were noted on the object and all were appearing to be a reddish colour. My car radio went silent. It was as though the object was staring me down. It looked as though it was starting to come toward me. It suddenly moved rapidly up and down, then quickly out of sight. This was not a jet nor helicopter.
It was huge and I could make it out and identify it as being different than a jet or plane, etc.. I was petrified and raced home to notice that a person in another vehicle on the road was motioning me to stop. I believe to talk about what he had just seen as well. He looked in disbelief. I was too much in awe to stop and chat about it. I raced home. Once out of the car, I looked every where to see if it was still around. I was really bothered by it all.
I called a friend and my father woke up a family member to talk about what I had seen. I turned on radio to listen to the local news station and heard nothing about what I had seen.
At approximately 1:15 a.m. several jets wanting to land at Mount Hope Airport were heard. My house is over a flight path. One jet after the next was heard, and more than usual. It was like they were held back for a period of time until this "whatever" it was left the area.
I have held back from reporting this until now, because I have had a bit of a time coming to grips with it all. I have done nothing but researched and read about similar happenings. I am now a believer in all of this.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Date: August or Mid September 1985
Time: Approxamtlty 9:00 p.m. - 9.30 p.m.
Hi Brian, It was nice to hear from you. It’s a
funny thing you know that every time I hear or read about UFO sightings, I wish
I would have reported it to someone at the time I saw whatever it was. I pulled
out some old records, I believe it was late August or mid September 1985.
You see I worked for Lyle Gold and Sons Logging
and being that I live in the Nass Valley, I used to travel the back road to
Cranberry Junction and from there down the highway towards Stewart to the old
Vandike Logging camp every Sunday night.
I had a 1980 Ford F-I50 short box pick up truck.
It had no canopy so my visibility was excellent. It was a real nice night, the
sky was clear, yet it was dark more like 9:00 p.m. or 9.30 p.m.
I remember now because I used to leave the Nass
camp at around 8:00 p.m. I was roughly five to eight miles from reaching
Vandike Camp.
I was three quarters of the way down this very
long straight stretch and I caught a glimpse of this light in my upper front
window rear view mirror.
I noticed that the light came down at an angle
from the Nass river side of the highway like in an "S" like motion,
but it was a long way back, about as big as this dot on the paper (pencil sized
full stop).
It started at the beginning of the straight
stretch like it came down and aligned itself with the pavement and if you count
to five that's about how long it took to catch up to me going 90 kilometers per
hour.
It came right up within ten feet in the passing
lane of tail end of the pickup. I had a really good look at it in my rear view
mirrors and I even turned my head and looked at it.
It was a single light about four feet round and
was within inches of touching the pavement, very close.
I was trying to see if I could see some mass or
structure behind the light but I didn't see anything. I was going to wave at it
by sticking my hand out of the window but I chickened out.
By looking straight into the light it was weird. It was like looking at the moon. The light did not shine or light the highway up. It was a light within itself.
After watching the light and watching the road I
looked back and it was gone. Then a car came around a corner in front of me.
I don't know why but I didn't tell anyone in the
camp what I saw when I got there. But the very next morning there was five of
us guys going to work in a crew cab going back the same way I had came to camp
that night.
We worked 15 or so miles back down the highway
from the camp. It was about 6 a.m. just daylight.
It was going to be a very nice day, the sky was a
deep morning blue and there was a gray cloud hanging just above the Nass River.
It was only as wide as the river and about a kilometer long.
I wasn't driving so I was admiring the beauty of
this long gray cloud and all of a sudden there was a blue explosion in that
cloud.
It was the same deep blue as the sky and it was a
loud explosion too. I saw all of the blue go out from the explosion and like a
magnet it got sucked back into itself and I watched the blue come out of the
cloud like a blue worm.
It stretched out like an elastic band and like you
would let go of that band it shot down the Nass River at a super high speed.
I noticed when the head of the blue came out of
the clouds there was no ship or structure it was like blue mercury or something
liquid (very strange).
The guys next to me were shocked when it exploded though they
were watching the road and didn't get to see what I did.
They said what in tarnation was that ! All I could
say was "I don't know".
I don't know why but I never did tell them what I
had seen the night before. I just took it in as a blessing because not too many
people get to see something like that.
I don't know what it is. I can only tell you and
draw a picture of what I saw. It could be right there in front of you and you
wouldn't know it. A true master of surprise it is.
Investigators Note: The witness has made two
drawings which are posted on my website.
The first drawing shows the position on the
highway of the truck in regards to the object. The second diagram is one of the
truck and the object in relation to the highway and Nass River.
I would like to thank the two witnesses for their
reports.
Update:
Investigators Note: The above told me he was
driving with other co-workers in a truck when a deep morning blue and there was
a gray cloud hanging just above the Nass River. He also mentioned there was a
blue explosion in that cloud.
Well this witness had looked up one of the
co-workers who he was driving with that day, and asked if I would be able to
talk to him about what he saw. I called a really nice gentleman who gave me his
report to what he saw that day.
Witness #2's report - This fellow told me he had
not seen or heard from witness #1 for sometime. This fellow reported that there
were still an other in the pick up truck at the time of this sighting, but
sadly the third man has now passed away.
He conformed that this did take place up on the
Cranberry by Derek Lake (he believes) and they had been staying in the Lyle
Gold and Sons Logging Camp.
He also confirms that a strange gray cloud in a
completely clear blue sky when he also seen the weird blue light which came out
of the cloud with a tail at one end of it. These men watched the blue light
move slowly along until it seemed to just explode.
So we have two witnesses now to this sighting.
The witness drew two diagrams showing the object in relation to himself.
Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

Date of Sighting: February 17, 2005
Time of Sighting: 8:30 pm
Location of Sighting: Thousand Oaks
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle.
Full Description of event/sighting: It was a rainy night with many clouds. I was driving west on Hillcrest in Thousand oaks when I noticed an object hovering over the road in the distance in front of me.
What I saw appeared to be perpendicular to the road I was on. It appeared to be about 500 feet above the road.
At first I thought it was an airlift helicopter getting ready to land to transport an accident victim. As I got closer I became more intrigued. The closer I got the more spooky it felt.
The object had a dull bluish lights at either end and what appeared to be a orangish beam of light coming from somewhere in the middle. What was weird was that unlike an ordinary helicopter spotlight as this was very dull once I got closer to the object.
As I got almost directly underneath it I realized the object was a lot closer to the ground than I thought. I could not identify the shape of the object even though it appeared to be 150 - 200 feet above me.
The odd part is that when I rolled down my window to listen for an engine it was completely silent. Not a peep coming from it. That was when I realized that something was definitely not right.
I made a left turn onto Rancho road and pulled over to the curb so I could inspect more closely. I noticed the object starting to drift west in a very steady manner. It now appeared that the objects blue lights were on the left and right side and the orange glowing light was the front in relation to the direction of travel.
It appeared to be a triangle shape based on the formation of the lights. I watched it for a few seconds and it started to disappear behind some trees. I put the car in reverse, backed up a few feet, and when I looked back up to object was nowhere to be found in the sky.
I even drove back down towards the direction it went and could not see anything in the sky. It was gone.
Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

I will start posting new sighting reports that I have received and Never Posted pretty soon and I will still be adding Brian Vike’s Favorite Cases as well.
I am just going to reply to a bunch of people in hopes of gathering additional information on each case before posting.
But anyway, will get posting these really quick, but for now I am heading off to watch a Sci Fi movie which is calling my name. LOL.

Date: Late December of 1993
In late December of 1993, a couple of months after my San Francisco sighting, I went to sleep one night and felt very strange, something not quite right, something I had not felt before and I couldn't explain it. I wasn't feeling ill or anything like that. I tossed and turned and I noticed that I would close my eyes and try to sleep, but would open them again a few seconds later, not feeling tired. After a short while, lying on my side, I noticed a reflection of a pink-red light source on the blinds I was facing, like the kind of reflection you would get if you took a spot light and shone it on the blinds.
I was puzzled since I had never seen a light before of that color and was trying to figure out where the light was coming from. At first I thought it must be coming from outside, but the blinds were tightly closed and the light reflection was on the inside of the blinds.
I then finally realized it was coming from inside my room, behind me, and I also realized we didn't have any lights at all in the general area behind me where the light must be emanating from in order to cast a reflection on my blinds.
Satisfied that I had figured out where the light was emanating from, I did the next logical thing. I proceeded to close my eyes and go to sleep (!). To this day I still don't know why I didn't turn around to look where the light was and what it was, since I am an extremely curious person by nature.
Anyway, an unknown length of time later I suddenly "woke up."
Actually, what happened was that I suddenly did a super-fast sit-up from lying on my back, one moment completely unconscious and the next instantaneously, completely awake (not groggy in the least as from sleep) and sitting up, extremely alert (in a "flight or fight" response) and waving my arms fiercely as if fighting an attacker.
My adrenalin was flowing and I was, to put it mildly, filled with terror. I was yelling loudly and cursing at "someone" (I didn't have a clue who it was) and telling them to leave me alone, liberally using expletives and threatening them with harm if they touched me again. For a few seconds as I sat up, I saw at the foot of my bed the disappearing forms of 3 or 4 beings, smallish, maybe 4 feet in height. I did not see any details.
Their forms kind of seemed to shimmer and dissolve away, leaving the empty room behind them. My wife, who is a light sleeper and hears me when I tiptoe into the room, never woke up during my thrashing in bed next to her, yelling and turning the lights on. Her breathing also seemed much too quiet, not her usual sleep breathing.
The next day when I asked her if she had heard anything she said "nothing at all" and was very surprised when I eventually had the courage to tell her what had happened. I had never and have never been as terrified as that night. It was that night that I learned the difference between fear and terror.
After I "got up", I kept looking around me everywhere to see if there were any more of "them" in the room and I kept muttering the same things I had when I had been "switched on", although at a much lesser volume, but with the same intense conviction.
When I finally calmed down enough I looked at the clock and noticed it was about 3:30 a.m. For the next few days, I had to have the light on in the room, something I hadn't done since I was very young and afraid of the dark. The terror didn't subside for a long time, probably about 2 years.
Also since this experience, at least for the first 3 or 4 years, I noticed that whenever I saw a program on TV that had pictures of the little grey ETs, I would start feeling very nervous and fearful. I don't know why. Actually, I didn't even realize this was happening until my wife noticed that whenever such a program would be on TV and I was watching it, that I would get extremely agitated and I would have the look of fear on my face.
She pointed this out to me and I then became aware of my behavior. Since then I cannot go to sleep early any more. I usually get to sleep around 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. and I don't know why.
After that experience, I did some reading to figure out what had happened, came across Budd Hopkins's mail address and sent him a letter. He put me in touch with a couple of hypnotherapists, but I was not able to remember anything of that night, between the time I closed my eyes after seeing the light, to the time I rudely "woke up" (was "switched on"). I have tried about three of four hypnotherapists, but was never able to remember a thing, and I so desperately want to remember.
After this event, for the next few years, I had very vivid dreams, of a kind I never had before. In one such dream, I was lying on a small bed in a small, white hospital room. Everything was white. I was feeling very relaxed and I couldn't move.
At the foot of the bed were two persons, both exactly the same height, both wearing very dark, perhaps black, military-type uniforms which had high Mandarin-type collars. (They were the only things in the room that were not white). The faces of the people were completely fuzzy and I couldn't see any details. One of them held two small, black rectangular objects, one in each hand.
The small objects reminded me of large cufflinks and were about that size. That person slowly approached me and finally touched the objects to my neck, one to each side of the area where the "Adam's Apple" is. At that point, I felt this extreme rush of vibration/energy like he had just touched 2 live high voltage wires to my body. My entire body vibrated intensely and had this incredible energy rush and I woke up immediately, still feeling this incredible energy flowing through my body. It took a while for it to subside.
Another dream was very short and felt like a "flashback". In that dream, I was lying in my own bed in my room, on my back with my arms outside of the covers and laying straight down my side. Out of the darkness I then saw a very skinny arm with a rather disproportionately large hand that seemed to have only three very long and strange looking fingers (I could not see any knuckles on the fingers). As I watched this in my dream, I could not move. Then the hand grabbed my forearm with very strong fingers. It wasn't a sudden grab, just a deliberate, fairly slow approach and grab. At that point I woke up with a start.
In yet another dream I was floating through the air about 2 stories off the ground. My back was toward the ground and I could not move, but I could somehow see that I was heading for the attic of a 2 story house. I realized in my dream that I was going to smash into the house, but instead of doing so, I felt the most incredible sensation of passing through the wall, feeling a feeling and sound something like when one opens up a Velcro fastener (that "tearing" sound).
It was like a million tiny ripping or Velcro sounds and a feeling throughout my entire body of that sound. I guess another way of putting it is that it was almost like static electricity, for example, like when two pieces of clothing get highly charged with static electricity and cling to each other, and the sound the electricity makes (the "crackle") when they are forced apart.
The sensation stopped once I was through the wall. I then floated to a small table exactly the right size for my body. The table was right in the middle of this high-ceiling attic, which was completely bare. I didn't feel at all anxious but felt very calm, almost whimsical. I didn't see anyone around but I decided that I wanted to experiment and try to scream as loudly as I could, just because.
I opened my mouth (which along with my eyes was the only other thing on my body not paralyzed) and I let out as big a scream as I could muster, at the top of my lungs. Although I could feel that I was screaming very loudly, not one sound came from my mouth. I then woke up to find myself trying to scream, but with a very weak sound coming from me.
I have come to realize that each of these dreams contain aspects of abduction-related phenomena. These dreams felt very different, especially in content, to my "normal" dreams. There are other related dreams I have had, but I think I should stop here.
Thanks for your time. Take care.
I would like to thank this person for relating the experience to me. Also I am certain there are others out there who have gone through similar experiences and would like to know they are not alone in all of this. So please drop a line if you had a similar experience.
