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.

Witness Observes Disc UFO While Feeding The Deer At Nanaimo British Columbia Canada

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  February 5, 2011

Time:  3:40 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Rice shaped? Oval? Disc?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I live in an area where the lights aren't nearly as bright. There's a small forest and river near by, and I go outside once in a while if I'm awake and see the local deer out there. I was feeding one some slices of apple, and looked up to see how cloudy it was to anticipate the weather for later that day and I saw it. A disc in the sky. I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again. Twice.

I felt so shocked, like I was stunned and couldn't move due to awe. If I held my hand out, it would be the size of my thumb nail (across). I could almost bet it was reflective, because staring at it, you could tell it wasn't glowing, it was like it was silver, and reflective. Dim, but definitely there. I've worked on military bases here before, and I know helicopters don't move like that.

It was like a swaying motion, but in that distance, it was moving back and forth maybe a mile or two, just back and forth. I watched for about 5-10 minutes before it hovered, then shot off really fast to the south.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Lights Over The Pacific Ocean At Nanaimo British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 19, 2011

Time:  Evening

Hi there, I had just popped out for a smoke and I first noticed a very strange looking illuminated cloud. As I watched, it broke into two, before disappearing a few minutes later. After they had disappeared, I noticed a much more vivid light seen closer to the ground, it had a sort of halo effect around it.

It would become dimmer and disappear, then another would appear shortly. They appear to be forming off the coast and at first, I wondered if they were flares, but they appeared to move very little and remained more or less in place for several minutes before disappearing.

It came back again and the light has turned orange, and can clearly be seen moving erratically around the same area. I am going to take my car closer to the harbour to see what I can see.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Group Of Orange Red Lights Over Nanaimo British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 28, 2011

Time:  7:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 3

Shape of Objects: Spherical.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My sighting began just after picking up a new printer at the local Staples in Nanaimo. I had just begun to pull out of the parking lot when I noticed due south, just behind and above the Home Depot, a group of red/orange lights.

It was odd enough for me to pull over and attempt to catch the sighting on my phone.

I stepped out of the van and as I filmed I witnessed 3, bright orange red spheres at roughly a forearms distance apart, slowly ascend from roughly the horizon and into the cloud bank.

They moved at the same rate of speed at a 80 degree angle upwards. A strong easterly wind was blowing but the lights moved very slowly westerly.

The color was the most striking part. It was an even light (no flickering) and it had a very warm reddish/orange glow which frankly looked out of place in the night sky. At one time it appeared that each individual light may have been comprised of 3 interconnected spheres.

I would very much like to know if anything was happening in that area (anything involving Chinese lanterns?). It was definitely not standard air traffic and no landing or identifier lights were visible.

The objects themselves seemed substantial enough that they may have posed a flight risk to local air traffic in that area.

Someone else must have seen this. It was happening during a busy seasonal shopping time.

Thanks for listening!

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Orange Colored Lights/Objects Seen Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  March 22, 2015
Time:  8:00 p.m.

I just (8:00 p.m.) saw 4 similar lights heading north west from what appeared above down town Nanaimo.

One first, then 2 together and then one solo again. They were orange, not red and seemed to be identical.

I have had many years of aviation involvement and am familiar with glide paths angles of attack, drift et al.

A few years ago I did see something similar, which was even more weird!

I also have seen Chinese lanterns, and these they were not.

 Any Ideas ?

Thank you to the witness for their report.

UFO/Object Found In Photo Taken From Nanaimo from Gabriola Island British Columbia (Picture)


From the Vike Factor UFO Files.

Date:  October 18, 2007
Time:  5:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Over Newcastle Island in Nanaimo Harbor.
Number of witnesses: 0
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Lens.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was out on the deck on the front of the ferry to Nanaimo from Gabriola Island on the 5:10 p.m. run with my camera and binoculars experimenting taking shots through the bino eyepiece.

I took about ten shots that way, not being able to see weather or not the shots were out of focus.

I only discovered this image as I processed and deleted all the rest, but for this one. I was not aware of any craft when taking the pictures.

It is quite unmistakably lens shaped with the sun reflecting from the other side in the late afternoon sunset.

I will send the image to your address.

Bright Orange Red Light/Objects Flew Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date: December 31, 2015
Time:  9:30 p.m.

A. I stepped out onto my front sidewalk this evening for a cigarette.

 B. As I looked to the sky directly north, I witnessed a bright orange/red object at around 60 degrees.

C. I observed and then it appeared to be high in the sky which and the sky was clear without any clouds. The moon was approximately a 3/4 moon.(not full) and was located roughly behind me.

D. The object I saw appeared to be roundish or slightly oval. It was not strobbing or flashing, just a constant color and very bright. It was moving in an easterly to northeasterly direction toward Vancouver, British Columbia area.

E. There was no sound and no jet trail even at its furthest point I watched it.

F. I watched this one object for about 30 seconds and looked ate the phone which was showing 21:30 to be the time.

G. I then quickly went into my home and called my mother from her room to come see this anomaly. We both arrived outside in approximately 40 seconds.

H. Once we arrived outside, the one object was still present, however two of the exact same looking objects were now also showing up from the same area of the first.

I. The second and third object were identical and behaved the same as the first, and resembled the first in all ways we noticed. The only difference was the two new objects were close to each other and further away from the first.

J. Their speeds were constant and they suddenly sped up and within 5 approximately seconds and all disappeared.

Date:  December 24, 2014
Time:  Evening.

My name is (name removed). On Christmas Eve my wife and I saw what appeared to be a plane moving southeast.

The whole rear end seemed to be on fire. (it looked like a huge jet engine). We are overlooking the Winchelsea Islands in Nanaimo.

There was no sound (like a plane or helicopter engine)

Did anybody else see and report this?

Ball Of White Light/UFO Spotted In The Sky Moving Upwards Over Nanaimo British Columbia


 Date:  December 12, 2014
Time:  Approx: 8:00 p.m.

Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.
Colour of Object: Bright white, slight off white edges.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My husband and I were enjoying the night sky, when we looked from Stewart Ave by the Ferries up toward the Hospital area, we saw a very bright light, which we assumed was a helicopter, but with no sound in the night air, we looked at it closer.

Thinking it was a optical elusion, this ball of light was not getting bigger as one would expect, with an approaching air craft. Instead it maintained it's size and brightness, then slowly went straight up.

The sky was clear and cool, so no clouds to interfere, or an aircraft climbing above the clouds. The reason I say this is because it went straight up, and slowly just vanished...? We both looked at each other, and said wow, that was weird. Just thought someone should know.

If anyone has had a UFO/UFOs sighting, please send me an email at sighting@telus.net or fill out the online UFO report form at http://sightings1.yolasite.com/ with details of what you saw.

Triangle Formation Of Orange Lights In The Sky Over Nanaimo British Columbia


Date:  November 14, 2014
Time:  6:30 p.m.

Weather: clear skies no clouds, cool temperature close to freezing.

Reading the entry from October 31, 2014 from the sunshine coast, looking over the straight to Nanaimo, what my family saw tonight sounded a little similar.

We pulled into the DQ drive thru and immediately saw a wedge or triangle pattern of orange lights in the sky. We would have been looking west west north, and the wedge was slowly coming eastward towards us.

The lights disappeared one at a time. One reappeared for a few seconds, then disappeared again. As we were leaving the drive thru, another one reappeared close to where we first ones started.

As we moved through the parking lot, it appeared stationary, and looked to be a long ways away as all objects in the foreground moved at a content rated in comparison.

That would make it too high to be balloons or paper bag lanterns, and with no other lights, it couldn't be helicopters of traditional aircraft.  We tried to get pictures and video, but with the city lights, and the dark sky, it was just a black haze.

If anyone has witnessed the lights/objects, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Bright Orange Light/Object Illuminated The Clouds Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  October 31, 2014
Time:  12:00 a.m.

Hi, I live across the straight from Nanaimo, I'm on the Sunshine Coast. Last night at midnight I saw a huge bright orange light over the mountains behind Nanaimo.

It lasted a couple of minutes and slowly moved westward out of view behind the peaks. It was so bright the clouds above it were illuminated.

Considering how small typical lights are in Nanaimo from this distance, this thing was massive. Have you heard of any other reports?

If anyone has witnessed the light/object, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Object Gives Off A Yellow/Green Light Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  October 20, 2014
Time:  Between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Today between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. my wife saw an irregular object hurtling in the sky giving off a yellowy-green light here in Nanaimo.

It lasted, oh, 3 seconds, and then disappeared. Since this is 2 years (and 7 days) after the earlier sighting, I'm wondering if we're looking at the earth going through a meteorite cloud on its annual journey.

If anyone has witnessed the light/object, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Bright Orange Fiery Ball Of Light Observed Over Nanaimo British Columbia


Date:  January 19, 2013
Time:  Approx; 11:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Ball.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I just came out of the house at about 11:00 p.m. and I noticed a very obvious orange ball shape, like a ball of fire moving across the sky.

It appeared like a ball of fire floating across the sky in that there wasn't a distinct form or outline to it. That is partly what caught my attention.

It was going at about the speed of a plane so I just watched it and it continued at the same speed for a few seconds and then slowed to a stop.

I continued to watch it as it was motionless, it appeared in distance to be just over Departure Bay (in Nanaimo, B.C.) and I was standing about 6 blocks away from the bay.

Once motionless it went from the fairly large ball of fire shape, slowly, maybe taking 5-10 seconds, to a tiny orange dot that appeared (for a few more seconds) like a star in the night sky. Then it was gone, just like that.

I wondered what the significance of this was, as I have never seen something like it before, so I decided to Google bright orange light in the sky over Nanaimo and this website came up.

So I wanted to share my experience. As a result of this experience I am going to take a look at some other posts about orange lights in the sky.

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.

Bright Orange Balls Of Light Seen In The Sky Over North Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  January 1, 2013
Time:  Approx: 12:30 a.m.

Hi there, last night, New Years I was on the deck at approximately 12:30 a.m. when I saw what at first was a fireworks in the sky, it was a bright orange ball.

While waiting for it to explode, it turned slowly and disappeared into a cloud.

As I watched, and called my 15 year old son to come see what I was seeing. I saw another 5, 6 in total move from over the tree line at Pioneer Park, make a large circle then disappear into the clouds.

They were all evenly spaced, no noise, and like I said all followed the same path. You seem to be the expert in the area, have you had any other reports of these lights?

Two Women Have A UFO Close Encounter Between Nanaimo And Campbell River British Columbia


Date:  September 2009
Time:  Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Hello, my name is (name 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, 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, 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 know 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 just couldn't take my eyes off of it. After about 30 seconds of staring, I yelled out "what the heck 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 Rd., the 2 lights were closer again and 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!

Orange Lights Seen In The Sky From Pipers Pub In Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia (Update: Chinese/Wish Lanterns)


Date:  October 13, 2012
Time:  7:20 p.m. - 7:40 p.m.

Hi there, I did a random, un-hopeful Google search today, and came up to exactly the right page.

Last night, October 13th, 2012 we saw the same lights. We were at Pipers Pub in Nanaimo, total of 4 seen.

Flew strange patterns, and lights went off at one point within an unclouded area.

I know its not much information, but if you find any more details on what they might have been, I'd appreciate some information. Cheers.

Vike Factor Note: Below is an update from the witness at Pipers Pub in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island British Columbia sighting.

"Chinese/Wish Lanterns" were the cause of all the excitement.

Hey Brian, we spread our story and we found the explanation to our situation. Apparently our landlords manager was having a funeral, just off North Hammond Bay Road.

They sent up multiple orange floating lanterns.

Just thought I'd pass that information on.

Flaming Round Objects Seen From North Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  October 13, 2012
Time:   7:20 p.m. - 7:40 p.m.

We live in North Nanaimo and experienced the sightings reported on-line.

We saw two flaming round objects spaced what we would call evenly apart.

We face the north east and they were coming towards us and seemed to be coming down to the ocean, but suddenly veered off to the west climbing upward and continued to do so until we lost them in the atmosphere. 

We tracked them with our binoculars and wished we could have taken pictures. A third ball of fire/UFO followed after the first two had disappeared. We did not see a fourth as described in the previous article. 

It was a phenomenal sight and as seniors have never experienced anything like this before. Any explanations you can share would be appreciated.

Red/Orange Lights In The Sky Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia (Video And Pictures)


Date:  October 13, 2012
Time:  7:20 p.m. - 7:40 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 5
Number of Objects: 4
Shape of Objects: Round and large.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My parents phoned to say there were some strange lights going across the sky. At approximately 7:20 p.m. they saw two large red/orange lights moving close together.


The lights appeared in the south and moved toward the north. They eventually started heading west then suddenly disappeared.

We looked outside to see the third light following the exact same path. It looked red to the naked eye, but appeared orange in the photos we took.


After this third light disappeared like the first two, a fourth light appeared in the same starting position as the others.

It followed a similar path as the other three lights, but it was moving markedly faster than the previous lights.

Once again, it turned to the west and just disappeared.

They were all completely silent and moved slowly across the sky. They were large enough that we expected to hear some sound emitting from them but nothing. The lights appeared to be flashing or glowing brighter then darker.

No others were sighted after the fourth light.

The photos and couple seconds of video are poor quality, but let me know if you would like them.

Multi Colored Object Shot Off White Ray Of Light Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  September 5, 2012
Time:  Evening.

I just saw this tonight as well. I was told about by an employee who saw it last night along with 5 of his friends. They saw it and said the same about the lights and the ray of light, but they saw it move fast and not in a way a plane or helicopter would.

The colours I saw were red, green or blue and white. From time to time there would be a ray or shot of white. My son and his girlfriend have seen these odd things as well.

My son saw it over the ocean, the spotlight type thing, the colours and the odd fast movements. Then nothing. I am curious of what it could be.

Huge Circular UFO Top And Bottom Hidden In The Clouds And Tree Line Seen South Of Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  September 25, 2012
Time:  12:23 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Oval/rectangular?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I have no blinds on the windows of my house and my bed is situated right next to the window on the second floor. If I wake up in the night, I'll often look outside as I roll over, and especially with a full moon, as I have a beautiful view.

That night/morning, I woke up, looked at the clock and rolled over, looking outside. I'd only been asleep for just over an hour. The moon was positively brilliant, and as I looked closer, I realized it looked very odd.

It looked huge, very close, and just above the tree-line. The bottom part wasn't visible behind the trees. the top part appeared to be hiding behind clouds, too, and it wasn't reflecting light, it looked like a huge spotlight, or maybe 2-3 lights in a horizontal row, but huge lights.

The light wasn't really shining across the small valley towards my house, though, it was shining further to the north.

Let me just say that it looked odd enough that I ran quietly downstairs, and out on the back deck, to look at it quietly, because I had company.

I have never done something like that before. it was emitting light - it didn't appear to be reflecting light, like one would expect. there did seem to be a bit of cloud above it, and I somehow rationalized, after staring at it for a few minutes, that I was just tired and the clouds were making it look weird.

It wasn't until I got back to bed that I questioned it's position. I didn't think the moon should be that low at that time of night, so I did look out at it one more time.

The next morning, I asked my visitors where the moon would be positioned at that time of night, and explained what I had seen the night before. They had all kinds of explanations, and I ended up feeling ridiculous.

The night of September 27, 2012, I noted the position of the moon at about 9:00 p.m., as I could see it from my bathroom window.

I got up at 5:00 a.m. the following morning to get ready for work and was stunned to see the moon in about the same position, vertically, that I had seen it 2 days before at 12:30 at night, except much higher in the sky.

There is just no way that the course of the moon is going to change like that. I have to say that the object I saw originally was not the moon.

I'm really regretting not taking a picture that night, or waking up the visitors, as that visual is absolutely haunting me. I have no idea what I saw. Whatever it was, it was very large, and very bright, and sat motionless for at least 10 minutes.

Now that I have discounted the moon as a possibility, I can say that I was close enough that I would have heard sound, and there was none. If it were at the tree-line, it would be about 300-400 yards away.

If I were to describe the shape, I would say a circle with both the top third and the bottom third removed, or the top was hidden in the clouds and the bottom behind the trees.

The trees are at the top of a small ridge, 100' Douglas Firs, so it wasn't a vehicle. The visible area of the object was filled entirely by the large spotlight (s).

I would even go so far as to say that the "spotlight", beam that I could see in it's entirety had a black spot in the middle. I don't know how to explain that any more clearly, except possibly by comparing it to a hand-held water nozzle with water spraying from around the outside, but there's a little spot in the middle that is clear.

Given the distance, I would estimate that the diameter of the "light" on the object would have been about 30'-40'.

This has been bothering me enough for the past few days that I'm submitting this sighting in hopes that someone else might come forward to say they saw the same thing. I'd really like to know what I saw.

I have never seen anything "unidentifiable" before.
