Reports come in to one blogger. But the source of lights may be less than supernatural.

Mr. Vike, a blogger with The Vike Factor Into the Paranormal got reports of strange lights over our area around March 26.

The report was of several orange lights glowing over the sister towns. A reader shed some, ahem, light on the topic.

"Hello Mr. Vike, several night watchmen at my company have seen the orange light a number of times this week," the reader wrote. "We believe that Chinese lanterns are the culprit. They are being launched several times a week now from the Redlands or Loma Linda area."

I'm pretty sure I was out that night, it was a Monday night, and I don't recall seeing lights of any kind.

If any of you saw the lights, send us an email and let us know. Are they lanterns? And who is lighting them?

Was There A Mass UFO Sighting?

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

Terrace Standard newspaper - April 2, 2003

http://www.terracestandard.com/

By Jennifer Lang.

Terrace is living up to its reputation as a UFO hot spot.

As many as 30 people may have recently witnessed two black, triangular-shaped flying objects in the Lakelse Lake area, the northwest’s resident UFO researcher has been told.

Brian Vike, field researcher and president of HBCC-UFO, is now hoping to talk to eyewitnesses to verify the report.

He also wants to find out more details like the exact time, date and description of the sighting – thought to have taken place several weeks ago.

That would help him determine what witnesses saw. A variety of known objects such as stars, planets, meteors, or aircraft can be mistaken for UFOs.

Vike learned about the sighting after someone sent him an email telling him that more than 30 people had witnessed two triangular objects in the sky.

“I’m kind of chomping at the bit – all I need is a couple of names and number to get on this,” he said from his home base in Houston, B.C. “From what I’m gathering, they’re professional people – not just kids.”

Vike is intrigued by the possibility that the sighting involves triangular-shaped objects, which are less commonly reported.

There’s been a flurry of UFO reports along the Highway 16 corridor lately.

“It’s just been non stop for the last little bit,” he said, adding he’s received eight or nine reports in the past week. “There’s something. I don’t know if it’s military. It’s a possibility.”

Another recent report from the Terrace area involved a yellow ball of light the size of a basketball spotted over a trailer in Thornhill. It moved low in the air, travelling quickly before pausing above the mountain. “Then it proceeded like a bang,” Vike says.

The recent activity suggests Terrace’s top ten showing on the 2002 Canada UFO survey may have been no fluke.

The survey counted 25 eyewitness reports from Terrace in 2002, putting us in third place overall, ahead of Houston, B.C., which is in fourth place and even ahead of major metropolitan areas like Toronto and Vancouver.

A Loud Boom Was Heard And Yellow Light Seen Over Elmwood Park Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 5, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:15 p.m.

We saw the same thing at 10:15p.m., except ours followed by a boom after the flame and radar lights.

Additional Information:

Hello, ok here's my story, I live in Elmwood Park Illinois and I was parking my car in the driveway as I just got home. 

I heard a boom and as I looked up in the sky with my girlfriend, I saw a flame -ish, yellowish light floating from south to north and then it vanished.

My girlfriend tried taking a photo of it with her camera phone, but not much came out. I am sending you the picture we tried to get. 

This was on the evening of September 5th around 10:15 pm, I'm a bit confused, also still hovering in the east are bright lights, but that might be a weather radar pattern or something. Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

That Was No UFO Over Hamilton

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Newspaper Article.

The strange lights in the night sky last weekend have a rather novel, down-to-earth explanation.

Not UFOs. Not northern lights, either.

It looks like it was Hamilton's own Chris Ecklund and his half-billion candlepower light system illuminating one of the city's 125 waterfalls that caused a ripple of UFO sightings from Stoney Creek to Dundas.

Witnesses reported eyewitness accounts of strange vertical lights in the sky over Dundas and Waterdown to The Vike Report, a British Columbia-based blog devoted to UFO sightings and the paranormal.

Brian Vike, who heads his own HBCC Centre for UFO Research, says on his blog that the lights were seen around 8 p.m. Friday.

That's exactly when Ecklund threw the switch to light up Chedoke Falls in the city's west end, part of his campaign to get Hamilton recognized as the City of Waterfalls and a pilot project to highlight the falls' beauty.

"We had all those lights bouncing off the ice and the water up into the sky. It was awesome and 8 p.m. was when we threw the switch.

"We had all the colours people saw: orange, red and the whole lot."

Vike, who lives in Houston, B.C., halfway between Terrace and Prince George, was not immediately available for comment.

One witness told Vike that he and five friends were out for a walk around 8 p.m. and saw vertical lights in the sky and watched them for 30 minutes, a throbbing orange one which faded in and out and a second red vertical one.

The witness, who Vike won't name in keeping with his confidentiality commitment on the site, says one light had a circle opening in it which looked like an eye.

Then the red lights faded away after five more minutes, he said.

Ecklund has also lit up Sherman Falls with blue spotlights, Tiffany Falls with 550 million candlepower of clear lights with no filters and Lower Westcliffe Falls.

The pictures and videos of the effects created are on his website: www.cityofwaterfalls.ca.

"There's no mystery," says Ecklund.

"It was just us."

Something Was Casting A Dark Huge Shadow Over Orange County California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June, probably 25-30. (now 2011)

Time:  5:00 p.m.

I don't know if you'll find this interesting, but I sure as hell did. It's old stuff now. In the years since, I couldn't find anyone interested. Maybe because there weren't any little green men. (Definitely not as exciting as Rex Heflin's pictures taken in Irvine in '65. I'd known Rex for years before his incident and actually saw the original photos he'd taken.

My dad rented a house to him for years. It was June, probably 25-30 years ago (I've got it written down somewhere, but where it is now...) and I was on the way home, going north on the Newport Freeway, headed for Norco. At that time, the Newport was three lanes each way, plus the shoulder and a dirt island between the two ways. The island was probably the equivalent of two or three lanes width.

Anyway, I'm going north, it's right at 5:00 p.m. give or take five minutes, when I see a big shadow going in the same direction, but not totally parallel, as it was slowly moving toward me. At that time of the year, the sun's on the way down, but still fairly high in the sky. I looked out my window (driver window) to look for whatever it was casting this shadow.

Being that the shadow was that close to me, whatever cast it had to the pretty close to the sun. I didn't see anything and looked back at the shadow. I was between the Katella Avenue off-ramp and the 91 freeway. Right there you're in a very shallow bowl and you can see the freeway all the way to the bend that takes one to the 91 or Riverside Fwy. You can also see the homes up on Lemon Heights. Well, the shadow's continuing up the freeway, but slowly coming into my side of the freeway.

It's huge. I look up again to see what's making it and still, nothing. I keep watching it and before long, the shadow has completely darkened the freeway. Six lanes, two shoulders and the island. And it overlapped on both sides. You figure out how big it was. Anyway, I looked up again (the shadow at this point was way in front of me) and still nothing to cast it.

It eventually left the freeway (still arcing to the right) and wriggled like a shadow does over the homes on the slopes. My wife and I owned a typesetting and graphic design business in Tustin. If you know anything about printing, they have what's called a screening process (a Screen is the normal term). Using a screen on a color gives it the illusion of changing the color, but actually all you're doing is making the dot pattern smaller or larger, making the picture look darker and lighter.

Well, using the idea of a "Screen", (the further one would be from the source of the shadow, it would lighten up.) the shadow was about as dark as you could get, indicating whatever was casting the shadow was pretty damn close to the ground.

I was on the noisy freeway so I couldn't be sure whether it was making noise or not, but when jets came over to land at John Wayne Airport, you could hear them. Also, I was probably making about 50 mph, and if so, I figured whatever cast that shadow was doing no more then 120. Pretty slow to keep something that big in the air.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Roar Was Deafening From Large Square And Triangular UFO’s Over Haysi Virginia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.   

Date:  March 2, 2007

Time:  6:12 p.m. & 8:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Haysi, Virginia west to east.

Number of witnesses: 10+
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Square, triangle.

Full Description of event/sighting: We were watching the evening news when we heard a very, very loud roar. Mom said it was a jet, I said too loud unless it was crashing, I just caught a small look at it. 

About 8:00 p.m. we heard it again, we ran outside and over head coming across my Mom's house was a very large square shaped object. It had green lights at each corner, blue/white light in between. It was so low I thought it would clip the tree tops. The wind from it swayed the trees. The roar was so deafening, it was scary!

We could feel the warm air from it. From the southeast to northeast a second object appeared, triangle in shape with reddish/blue lights at the corners and small white lights in between.

When the two objects came near, the smaller triangle object "stopped", waited to let the other, larger thing pass, then followed. Our dogs went "crazy", so did the others I spoke with that night about the sighting. It was a few days until our dogs settled down.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Was Zeppelin

Published: September 13, 2010 4:00 PM

Although some UFO sightings are bound to remain a mystery, the vast majority of them, says Brian Vike, can be explained.

Such was the case this week when Vike received a report of a strange object hovering over Haro Strait near Victoria on Wednesday.

After posting a report of the sighting on his website, Sightings.com, Vike was contacted by one of the beings who had been flying in it.

New Jersey UFO Hoax Was A Good Thing Says Dan Aykroyd ?

Dan Aykroyd finds that the New Jersey UFO hoax was a good thing ? Aykroyd says it is a good thing, meaning the UFO hoax as it brings more attention to real cases, this while signing vodka bottles for his many fans.

Well personally speaking, Dan's comment is a little out there as far as I see it. It is tough enough to try to figure out at times which reported sighting is a hoax or the real deal. Now having Dan say this, he certainly is not at all helping the UFO field. I personally worked my butt off and drove hours and hours, spending alot of my own money going to meet folks who "claimed" they had a UFO/alien encounter. After visiting with some of these people, nothing happened and I wasted time and money which could have been better spent on a real honest sightings. I certainly was not a happy camper and I sure don't find promoting the idea that reporting hoaxes is good for the UFO business.

So to hear Dan Aykroyd come out with a silly and disappointing statement is beyond me. His comments just do not help and makes me really angry to say the least.

New Market, Ontario UFO Was Pure White Light

Posted: August 28, 2008

Date: July 3, 2008
Time: Around 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.

I am only writing this as it has started to interest me, if anyone else has seen this thing and what exactly it is. If I had not seen this three separate times, I would probably not be writing this.

I ride my bicycle every night at around 9:30-10:00pm.

Sometime around July 3rd 2008, I was just starting to head out on my ride. I was only about 100 feet from my house, and looked up at the stars as I always do. I was heading west and looked at the big dipper when I saw what I thought at first was Venus. A very bright light, at least the same magnitude of brightness as Venus, and equal in size to the naked eye. I immediately thought it was odd as I've never seen Venus in proximity to the big dipper (looking west). I verified that it wasn't Venus as I looked south and there was Venus where it should be. I looked back at the object and it was then that I realized that it was moving. Very fast towards me.

I immediately turned my bicycle around and called inside to my fiancé to come and look at this thing.

She came outside and saw it too. It moved west to east. It was a pure white light, much brighter than an aircraft light and making no sound at all. I asked my fiancé to run and get the camera, and before she could return the object faded out. It took only about 60 seconds to completely cross the sky and fade into the distance. I did notice that just as it began to fade, which took about a second, it made a small change in course, turning south about 10 degrees.

There were no blinking lights, no other light other than a single white circular light. I know it was not an aircraft, as besides the fact that it had no running signal lights, the brightness of the light remained constant the entire time I saw it and was at least 5x brighter than an aircraft light. It passed directly over our heads and was almost as if the light was radiating in all directions. If it were an aircraft the light would have changed at least in brightness as it passed overhead and continued away from us.

I have seen many satellites, and I can assure you that it was not a satellite. It was as bright as Venus and equal in size, not your typical pin point light that a satellite is. Additionally it had no "tail" as a meteor would have during entry into our atmosphere.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
