A UFO Experience At Mt. Laguna AFS

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Brian, Enjoy reading your articles and thought I should "chime" in on the following: Re: There were also some guys who did a night time "Close Air Support" drill at Yuma Marine Air Base in Arizona who told me a great UFO Story.

If any of you who actually experienced that sighting and are reading this, please relay your story.    

I had an experience while in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Mt. Laguna AFS which might be related to the above. The 751st Radar Squadron was located about 12 miles north east of Pine Valley California on the edge of the desert and mountains at about 6,000 feet elevation. The time period was in the mid 1960s, probably 1965, in the mid summer evening about 20:00.

Still light and clear skies and from that height over the clear dry desert you could sometimes see the Salton Sea. I was walking over to the "Ops" building from the AN-FPS-26 tower just as one of the "ops" officers was arriving.

He was looking east out over the desert and pointed to a light about the size of a green pea held at arms length. He asked me what did I think it was. I initially thought it was a naval military aircraft flying out in the area of the El Centro Naval Air Station which was in that direction about 45 miles east, and in the line-of-sight of Yuma, Arizona.

After about 30 seconds, the light started to strobe and change colors with green, blue, red, white and yellow. Then I didn't think it was a Navy plane because I would only expect to see green and red position lights and landing lights. I don't know if strobe lights and a white tail light were required at that time for aircraft.

I do know that Blue and Yellow were colors in the unknowns changing light scheme and those colors are not used in aviation. There were other incidents at this radar station during my tour of duty, 1965 - 1967. Some I personally experienced and some I heard from others. Very interesting times indeed.  

Thank you to the gentleman for this interesting story.

U.S. Army Service Personal Have A Unexplained Experience At Crailsheim Germany

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: May or June 1980 Time: Evening

Message: In May or June of 1980 I was stationed in Crailsheim, Germany. One evening an Army buddy and me where given a ride out to a lake (approxamtlty 6 miles from town). There was suppose to be a large party out there.

When we arrived there were probably thirty or forty people, drinking and smoking hash, around a dying bonfire. My buddy and I had one beer each and decided to leave the lame party, and head back to town.

After walking about two miles we left the small paved road we were on and started across a field with two foot high grass. Soon I realized my buddy wasn't beside me. I started back through the now bent grass, until I came upon my friend laying on his back.

Worried, I ran over and looked down at him. Being from Minnesota, he looked as though he were laying in fresh snow, making snow angels.

At this point I figure someone from the bonfire either slipped him some drugs, or he is playing some, uncharacteristic, game. I'm start getting upset because all I want is to get back to town before the bars close.

I tell him to get up, so we can get back to town. He lays there looking up at me saying " you gotta see this". He says this a few times when I suddenly realize, he's not looking up at me. But rather up past me.

The last thing I remember is turning my head to look up and then slowly spiraling to the ground.

The next thing I remember is waking up walking, and I mean literally, one foot coming down in front of the other on the pavement (walking trail I believe).

At first I was disoriented and didn't know where I was. Soon I got my bearings and realized I was a half mile out of Crailsheim.

I figure it was three miles from the field to where I, I guess came to.

My buddy and I never spoke about that night, actually we very seldom spoke to each other after that night. We both left Germany in early within two months of that night (early July).

I left Germany almost twenty-five years ago. The first twenty-two years I rarely thought of that night, but the last three, almost daily.

The people I have told this story to have tried to explain it as some drug induced, or some sexual experience that has been blocked by my subconscious. I have too much awareness for those explanations.

I'd like to know if there has been any similar stories related to that area of Germany in that time period. Thanks.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, Thanks for your quick response. I wish I could tell you that I turned and looked up into the belly of the mother ship, or that I saw even a flicker of a light in the night sky. But, unfortunately what I mentioned earlier is all I remember. As far as my buddy at the time, I haven't spoken to him since about two weeks after that night. I would like to also state that I have never, before or after that evening, blacked -out. Which makes what happened twenty-five years ago frustrating as hell.

It's hard for me to articulate the almost emotional numbness, until recently, I've felt towards that evening. When I would tell friends and family about it, they would say that it was very strange, while I would blow it off to maybe being overly tired that night.

There is one more thing that I remember. It's actually a feeling. I felt as though the U.S Army (which if I failed to mention, I served 6 years in) was looking out for me. Almost in an overly protective way. As an example; lets just say there were thing I did in my last two months in Germany I am not proud of.

Let me preface this next part by saying that I was a good soldier. I had planned to be a lifer. The following I have never spoken to anyone about.

One evening about a week after my night in the field, my platoon ( about twenty-five of us) were guarding an ammo site about twenty miles outside Crailsheim. On about the tenth night, of a two weeks assignment, I remember thinking that I had had enough of the Army. There was no big event that drove me to this realization. I had just had enough.( to this day I don't know where that thought came from) I walked out of the barracks, and along with another soldier I had told my plan to, climbed over the fence and left. I spent three days with an on again off again girlfriend.

When I met my platoon back at Crailsheim nothing was said by my platoon Sgt. or company commander. Everyone knew I was AWOL, it was no secret. but none of my superiors would mention it. The soldier I jumped the fence with, was only gone two hours before he went back to the ammo site. He was court marshaled. My last night in Crailsheim, my platoon Sgt came up to me at the NCO club. He said "Someone must really like you". I knew he was talking about the night I left the ammo site. I also know there was something else he wanted to say, but he never said it.

There were also times after that night in the field that I felt I was being watched. But nothing I can point to and say, one night I saw something hiding behind a tree.

Anyways, I came back to the States where I re-enlisted and served three years of honorable service filled with awards and commendations. (I taught basic training in Fort Bliss, Texas) I was suppose to go to Fort Lewis, Wa, but I was reassigned to Texas. Forty miles from White Sands. Hmmm. My life in the military could go on for hundreds of pages, but I wouldn't do that to you.

So thanks for your time. And no, I don't recall any strange experience from my time in, TX and N.M.

Today was the first time I've been to your site. I like it. Keep up the good work.

PS I'm believe firmly that we make our own choices and that no one can makes us do what we don't want, but I'll always feel guilty for the young soldier that climbed that fence with me.

Thank you to the fellow for the interesting story.

1970 UFO Bay Of Biscay Experience (Graphic)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Vike, being a retired art teacher, living in western Ohio, I am far removed from the events on the Bay of Biscay in 1970.

Yet the feelings I acquired then seem like they started yesterday.

The illustration comes very close to what appeared to me. Thank you.

Bay of Biscay Experience 1970

Amidships on a Destroyer there is low, flat, open space. The picture below shows, from an archive photo, the USS Dyess (DD-880). It was aboard this small craft that an incident occurred which will haunt me for the rest of my life.

From the front (bow), going toward the rear, there are two gun turrets. Behind those is a big complex of two towers, called the superstructure.

Immediately after that is a low, dark, sunken area. On that night in July, 1970, I sat alone above it on a set of steps, so that I was looking forward in the direction of the superstructure.

I couldn’t believe that I had this beautiful scene all to myself. Billions of stars and a brilliant full moon illuminated the calm, smooth ocean’s surface.

This setting was further enhanced by the balmy temperature. The absence of my shipmates was, at first, no concern.

Soon, however, I was confronted with something that would send me inside the nearest hatchway for cover.

Caption For Map Above: Position of ship near the West Coast of France as shown by black rectangle.

The first sensation was that of being frozen in time. I was relaxed, yet found I was unable to move.

Then there suddenly appeared on the deck below me, about twenty feet away, a glowing, truly luminous cloud.

It was silent and its edges were yellow-green wisps. Spherical in form and not solid, but gaseous, it swirled inside as it hovered above the steel-plated deck. In my dreamlike state I lost track of the minutes.

The neon blue-green apparition had materialized in an instant, but then began slowly to transform, and darken, as it shrank down from twelve feet in diameter. While doing so, its semi-transparent nature thickened and the edges became well-defined.

Any haziness was replaced by a strange figure, human in size. The deep cyan vision had a full body, head, arms, legs, hands and feet, while it began to dance about joyfully. A performance that seems like it was yesterday, I recall it with trepidation now, forty-two years later.

What began without warning vanished just as quickly, leaving me alone and mystified.

Above: An illustration of the situation as it appeared.

Although reconstructed more than four decades after the event, to me this is of no concern, because the memory is as fresh as last night.

Although I did move inside after experiencing this, it was not due to fear.

Actually, the contact gave me a feeling of comfort and knowing.

Six Witnesses To An Amazing Experience - Disc Shaped Craft/UFO At Glyn Ceiriog North Wales

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 10, 1996

Time:  Approximately 7:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 6
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: One was a disc the other was a sphere.

Full Description of event/sighting: My partner Steve and I rented a cottage for the weekend in Glyn Ceiriog, North Wales. We went with his sister and uncle, his nephew and my son.

We'd been out walking for the day, got back to the cottage and had some food. I had gone upstairs to unpack and have a wash etc. I heard Steve calling my name so I went outside to investigate. He told me to look in the distance because he could see some lights in the clouds. It was a very overcast night, it had been raining for most of the day.

At first I could see nothing, I had to really concentrate to see anything at all. Then I spotted a flickering in the clouds very far away, it was so small. My initial thought was that it was lightening until I realized that the flashing followed a uniformed pattern.

We shouted for the others to come outside and look. They came out and we stood there watching the regular pattern of lights which seemed to be moving nearer to our position and was traveling in a zig zag fashion.

After a while the lights started to move towards us a bit faster. I still think to this day that "it" noticed us. It came to be right in front of us over a field then it changed it's position to be right above our heads at about 200 feet max. We were all whooping and hollering. I can tell you that we felt no threat which still bothers me.

It was above us for maybe ten fifteen minutes when something caught my attention and I looked behind me. I saw a mist on the ground in front of some trees which was glowing a grey white light which gave the appearance of a smaller spherical craft which pulsed every two seconds. I drew the others attention to it, they looked and said "Oh yes" and we all promptly forgot about it and continued to look up at the disc shaped craft above our heads. This one had a center circle of light with an outer ring of light, but lines of light were coming from the center to the outer ring and they were rotating.

We could not see the craft itself because it was inside the clouds but very low to us as we were on top of a hill. It reminded me of the underside of a mushroom and at times looked like a neon jelly fish as the light moved through the different densities of the clouds.

My son who was five at the time became very scared. We had told the children that it was nothing to worry about because it was lights from a farmers tractor reflecting off the underside of the clouds. After a while as it came to be above us, this reason didn't wash with them. He tugged on my jumper and told me that a hand had come through the hedge in front of us and touched his foot. It didn't occur to us that these crafts might have had occupants.

We all went inside the house to take the children back in. The two other adults went straight into the living room and started watching television and Steve began to either wash up or dry the dishes, I cannot recall which. I looked at everyone is total disbelief. You would think we had just been watching a few fireworks and that the show was over but these things were still outside.

To this day I have no idea what possessed me but I stomped back outside and continued to watch the craft from below it on my own. No one tried to stop me and I had forgotten about the craft on the ground and the hand immediately. I stood underneath it watching it until I heard footsteps running behind me. I have no idea if this was anything other than an animal, but it scared the hell out of me because it brushed past my back and dragged my jumper.

At this point I ran for my life. I did not look back so I have no idea what it was, it could have been a sheep, but I don't believe it was because a sheep would probably only reach my backside and not above my waist.

I ran into the house and was very, very frightened. I told Steve what had happened and he calmly looked at the clock and said "well you weren't out there long so you haven't any missing time". Looking back that was a very strange statement to make.

I made him lock the doors and close the curtains. We put the children to bed and I sat in the middle of the bed totally petrified. I was having a panic attack.

Steve did his best to calm me down, but I would not be left alone, not even to go to the toilet. My memory from here is not very good, I think due to the massive rush of adrenalin I had, parts of my memory function were shutting down. All I can recall is that we all went to bed and went to sleep. I did not look out of the windows again, I didn't dare. I don't know if Steve did either. Never the less we did go to bed and I believe that the craft (s) stayed behind.

This event made me very Ill. I became withdrawn and depressed. I now know that I have suffered from PTSD. It changed my life completely. My experience has been featured in UFO Data magazine and since this time I have been an active researcher in the topic and I have spoken publicly. I have never reported this story to another party other than the UFO Data team.

Please contact me if you wish to know any further details. Regards.

Sacha.

Thank you so much Sacha for an amazing report and for joining me on the Jeff Rense radio show to tell your story.

Poltergeist Experience In Northeast Kansas Town

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

As a child, my family lived for five years in a turn of the 20th century home in a small town in northeast Kansas. There were multiple experiences over those five years in that house. Most of it was of a poltergeist nature, with objects unexplainably falling over of their own accord. 

On one particularly noticeable occasion, my brother and I were watching television, in the middle of the afternoon. At that particular time, the television was situated in the corner of the family room, facing in the direction of an archway, and beyond that to a wooden staircase that led upstairs. 

As we were watching television, out of the corner of our eyes, we both witnessed the same event. A picture that was hanging on the stairwell wall, halfway up the staircase, came sliding off the wall downward at a 45 degree angle, and crashed onto the landing at the bottom of the stairs. 

On another occasion, our mother witnessed the sound of a little girl crying in the middle of the night. As we had two sisters sharing a bedroom, she went to see which of them was crying. 

She actually walked into their room twice in response to the crying, only to find them both sleeping soundly. When she returned back to her bedroom on the third trip back, the crying sound moved down the hall, and came to a stop at the door of her bedroom. 

She could hear the crying sound, but could see no one standing there. Our family dog, who had been sleeping beside my parents bed, suddenly began to growl, looking in the direction of the door. To this day, some 40 years later, we are all still firmly convinced we lived those few years in a house that had a ghost presence. 

Recently we have shared these experiences via email.

Thank you to the person for sharing this interesting, a freaky story.

Silver Saucer Shaped UFO And Missing Time Experience Royalton Ohio

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 14 ,1973

Time:  11:00 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Saucer

Full Description of event/sighting:  This is a missing time event. I was around 15 years old at this time, and I was coming back from a friends house, which was about a mile away from my house as the crow flies. I always cut through a stretch of sparse woods to get to, and return from this friends house, and this day wasn't any different.

I always cut in at this spot in the woods where there was a path that went through, and ended up coming out right past my aunt, and uncle's house where they're woods sits right in back of they're house. The path then continues right on down another 300 or so yards into my mom, and dad's back yard. This information is all needed to tell you what happened.

After I made my cut through the woods to get to my house, I had walked about 100 yards when I started getting a buzzing sound around my head, which was fairly normal in the woods as there were bees around, but this buzzing sound, it occurred to me it wasn’t like a sound made by a bee.

It was about that time that I noticed, off to my right about 30 feet and up about 15 feet was a silver disc, or saucer shaped object. I was scared, but I figured that as long as I didn't look directly at it, that it may not bother me.

I figured that it had let me walk this far up on it without doing anything to me, so maybe it would let me walk on by it at that point. God knows I was scared though, I was only 15.

I looked real close at it out of the corner of my eye because I wanted to remember detail of this thing . It was no bigger that 10 feet across, and probably closer to 8 feet.

It might have been around 4 feet high in the very middle. At that point ( as I was looking at it ) I had a feeling that they knew I was looking at it, so I continued another 10 - 15 feet to where the path made a turn around a wild apple tree ( in which they were then on the other side of ) and I took off at a dead sprint, faster than I had "ever" ran before! I was weaving from side to side, all the while thinking they were right behind me, and therefore feeling that I was running for my life.

I made it about 100 yards down through the small trees 15 - 20 feet high, to a fence that I usually had to climb over to get on down the path, and jumped, and cleared the fence with no trouble at all.

At this point I was in my Aunt, and Uncle's woods and immediately shot straight toward their house, and at that very moment I found myself standing at the other end of my aunt, and uncle's woods staring straight at a small tree, and being told that it was ok now that I could move now, and did I want to see him (the voice sounded male) I said no, and the voice said not to talk, that if I only though what I wanted to say that it could understand me.

That’s when I thought ok, and it said ok that's perfect (this voice was spoken in the absolute clearest voice I have ever been witness to) Then this voice said why won't you look at me, and I said, I'm afraid I will be scared if I look. It said it understood. That's when I said I don't want to be here like this, and it said that it would be alright, and I would not be hurt in any way, and at that point I felt relaxed, and was able to communicate, but that's where it gets sketchy, because I don't remember a lot of what the conversation was. I do know that when the conversation was over, and I turned around to walk on home, I was no longer afraid of them, but I did actually pinch myself real hard, to make sure it was not a dream. It hurt so it was not a dream ! lol

After I got home, and I walked up to the back door, my mom met me there, and she was not happy. She said, where have you been? You were supposed to be here 4 hours ago. Needless to say I was in dire straits on that one, but I didn't really know what to say because I knew she wouldn't believe me telling her the truth, but I tried to tell her anyway, and all she had to say was, yeah right !

So, I went straight in and went to bed because for some reason I was dead tired, and that was very out of the norm for me as I was an athlete in school, I played all the sports they let me play.

Well, there's my story. It's something that I've kept pretty much to myself since it happened, for obvious reasons, and those being that I know how a lot of people think about these things, and didn't want to be made a spectacle of, but now I would welcome a chance to be hypnotized because I know that there is a lot more to my story, and I now, at the age of 47, want to know what happened to me on that day.

So please feel free to contact me, and I will fill you in more on what was said by that alien that day, as far as I can remember.

Thank you to the witness for the fascinating report.

Former News Director’s UFO Experience In Ontario Canada

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July or August of 1969

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:00 p.m. 

Brian Vike's Note: I thought I would add a quick note here. The gentleman mentions in his letter to me that he was a former news director of CFBV/LD radio in Smithers. The radio station in Smithers is a 45 minute drive from me heading west, and Smithers is located in British Columbia, Canada. I also do short spots on the radio station the man is talking about, giving local updates on UFO sightings for out entire area. 

Message: Hi Brian, nice to meet you. First off, I'm a former news director of CFBV/LD radio in Smithers. Additionally, I worked at Endako mines for a few years in the '70's. As you can imagine, I'm quite familiar with Houston, having lived and 'played' in Fraser Lake, Endako, Burns Lake, Telkwa and Smithers for many years in the late 70's and early 80's. Heck, I met my first wife at an Ian Tamblyn concert in '81 at the Endako Community hall!

I live in Peterborough County, Ontario. Ironically, yesterday, I received a post card from an old buddy who's currently vacationing in Australia, he lives in Quick. Remember the Christmas flood of the community of Quick back in '83?

Here is my story. I was born and raised on a 100 acre farm 20 miles east of Peterborough, Ontario. The incident took place in July or August of 1969 when I was sixteen. I was alone in my family's farmhouse located 75 feet from a gravel township road. At that time we had a border collie mutt named Chief, who was an extremely good guard dog, vicious would be an appropriate description.

My father passed away the previous February and Chief had become even more nasty. Lots of people driving on the property would remain in their vehicle until one of us appeared in the driveway to rescue them from the snapping dog. It was approximately ten o'clock in the evening and I was sitting in the living room watching TV with the overhead light on. I noticed a light shining through the closed white drapes covering the south window. I thought, "that's odd. The light's on, if the light was off I could easily see the light's of a vehicle passing the farmhouse, but the light's on and I can't hear a car."

I exited the living room and entered the kitchen. I looked out the aluminum screen door on the south side of the kitchen and saw a light on the other side of some poplar trees glowing about 150 yards from the house on the other side of the road. The light was white and about the size of your thumbnail.

Now this is where it gets interesting. Chief was standing just outside of the screen door, with his butt against the aluminum.  He was making the most peculiar, extremely low, guttural growl and every piece of fur on his body was standing straight out, as though he'd been electrocuted. I'd never heard him make such an odd sound. He was scared witless. Normally he'd rush across the yard barking and growling at the human, the squirrel, the skunk, etc. Not this night. The light was moving west to east and the dog's nose followed the light precisely.

Whatever was moving in the sky was definitely the cause for Chief's abject terror. I couldn't open the door to investigate as the dog's rear end was 'bunched' against the door. I yelled at the dog to get out of the way. He wouldn't move. He was frozen.

Finally, after a few seconds of admonishing the dog, I forced the door open which pushed Chief out of the way. His nose never wavered from observing the moving light.

I walked across the yard towards the road and the light which was still slowly moving west/east. It would occasionally disappear behind a poplar and then reappear a second later. There was no sound. I guesstimated the object to be 150 to 200 yards away.

Chief, the nasty guard dog, never left the cement patio on the front of the house, but he continued to observe the thing and kept growling in that most peculiar manner.

Then I realized something very odd. By this time I was standing on the road. Not only was the flying object making no sound, but there were no cricket, tree frog or katydid sounds as well. Brian, what in heaven's name has the ability to silence the amphibians and insects of the forest? I felt a very palpable and rising sense of terror.   

I lived in that farmhouse for 18 years. At no time did any of my family members nor I ever 'get the gun' because we were frightened of something. It never happened, well, just once. I ran across the yard, past the dog who was still frozen by the front door and into the woodshed. I grabbed the single shot 22 rifle and the shells. 

I was so frightened, even today, I can recall my right hand shaking as I fumbled to put a shell in the gun. I can clearly remember thinking, "this is the stupidest thing I've ever done! What good is this 'pop gun' going to do for me against that 'thing' out there across the road? I might as well throw a chunk of gravel against the object." 

The next thing I remember I was seated on the couch in the living room with the loaded 22 across my lap. The light was still illuminated and the TV was on. I was calm, cool and collected. My heart rate was normal. 

The flying object was now located to the east of the house, out over the barnyard and for the next ten to fifteen minutes I kept looking over my shoulder through the south window at the light in the sky. I could barely make out a ring as though the light was the 'diamond' on the edge of the ring.

A couple of minutes into this session, the light changed from solid white to a blinking red light. It became smaller and smaller and blinked faster and faster. From my perspective, it appeared that the object shot out into space. At no time was I worried or concerned about the UFO in the barnyard. I had a lackadaisical attitude towards it and I thought, "big deal, it's just a UFO, why worry about it?"

As I watched TV and occasionally turned to look at it out the south living room window. I want to make something perfectly clear, Brian:  The next part of my story is a dream. This did not happen. For all of my adult life I can clearly remember the dream. 

In my dream, I was standing in the woodshed at my family's old farmhouse, in the night, with the woodshed overhead bulb on and I'm loading the 22. White light suddenly comes through the two windows located on the south and west sides of the woodshed. White light comes from under the woodshed doors from the outside.  That's the end of the dream. 

Here's the next peculiar part of the story and I have no idea whether it's connected to the UFO incident. I was not suicidal in the summer of '69, I have not been suicidal at any time in my adult life, nor am I suicidal today. I do not suffer from depression. I feel fine, thanks! A few days after seeing the object, I was home alone and cutting the backyard grass.

Suddenly, with no previous suicidal thoughts, I decided to shut off the mower, go to the woodshed, load the 22 and kill myself. I exited the woodshed, with the loaded gun, walked through the house, sat in precisely the same spot on the couch as that night of the UFO visit, with the loaded 22 across my lap. My intention was to shoot myself.

Fortunately, after about 30 seconds of contemplation I came to my senses. I thought, "what the heck am I doing? I'm not suicidal! Get that damn shell out of the gun! Put the gun away! This is ridiculous!" I unloaded the rifle and returned it to the woodshed.

Brian, I have some questions, as you might well imagine.

1) What was that thing flying through the sky, with no sound, in the summer of '69? 

2)  What has the ability to silence the critters of the forest? 

3)  Why was my vicious guard dog reduced to a quivering mass of terror? 

4)  We have all been terrified. There are certain physiological responses to fear. Increased heart rate, adrenalin pumping through your veins, shaking hands, cold sweats etc. etc. How did I retreat from all of those normal responses and return to 'calm, cool and collected' without a calming down period?(by the way, I had no sense of time loss during or after the incident) 

5)  Is my dream of loading the gun and seeing white light a dream? Or did it actually happen? 

6)  What was the reason for my suicidal thoughts and actions which occurred out of nowhere a few days after the incident? (I repeat:  I'm not suicidal, nor was I when I was sixteen.) 

7)  During the absurd suicide event, why did I walk to the exact same spot as I ended up after I saw the UFO with the loaded gun across my lap? I guess I'll never have the answers to those questions. By the way Brian, I cannot be hypnotized. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I wish I could be hypnotized, to possibly further explore the events of that night so long ago, but I'm one of those people who are not open to hypnotic suggestion.  

Thanks for your time and keep up the good work documenting the observations of peculiar events of people from around the world. No, I'm not a hoaxer! Go ahead, use my name if you wish. I truly don't care what other people think. The above mentioned events really did occur.    Art.

Thank you to Art for the extremely interesting report. I will be contacting Art over this experience, also I would like to add Art gave me the OK to use his name.

A Couples Amazing And Frightening UFO Experience Billerica Massachusetts (Audio Interview)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Audio report below for Billerica, Massachusetts - Large UFO Lifts Up Witness Off Home Deck.

Text Report Below:

December 2004

Brian Vike's Note: At the end of this initial letter from the witness there is the report which was filed to MUFON in which the fellow sent along to me. This is a fascinating story.

Hello Brian, I thought you might interested in this UFO report I filed to MUFON in December of 2004, I cant explain why but Anne and I want to finally share our experience with others. Since this sighting strange things have been happening in the house for instance, the microwave oven would start beeping at random, were on our 3rd oven.

A shelf fell off the wall in the kitchen which I know doesn't sound that strange but it's the type that the fingers on the side brackets have to be tapped down in the rails, I installed it and remember I had to tap the brackets down with a little force, for the brackets to fall off you would have to tap up on them. Strange sounds would come from the TV and radio. Anne would see pot covers fly of the shelf and land several feet away.

Many other things happened but I can't get into them right now, plus it would usually happen in the day and I work full time, Anne would tell me when I got home. Anne also had regressive hypnosis and her account was the same. I tried the hypnosis, but I wasn't receptive to it.

One other thing did happen that I remembered a few days later, when Anne was on the floor I remembered giving her CPR, after I got her off the floor and on to the couch I looked into the kitchen and saw what looked like snow or fine pellets of Styrofoam pouring in through the sliding door ( I guess didn't shut it all the way).

After icing my hand for awhile I told Anne I'm going in the garage to get the shop vac to clean up the mess when I looked again all the white stuff was gone and the small carpet in the kitchen was dry. Also the white light outside looked like it flowed like a liquid wrapping itself around everything, did not notice any shadows. By the way this happened in Billerica, Massachusetts. I know it sounds incredible but this really happened, hope to hear from you soon.

Below: The Actual Sighting Report Which Was Filed To MUFON. 

(Recount of a UFO sighting experienced by Robert and Anne).

At approximately 7:10 on Sunday night (12/12/04) I was in my kitchen preparing dinner, my friend Anne was in the living room working on a crossword puzzle. I have a sliding glass door which leads to a deck off of the kitchen, Anne and I just got home so the curtain was not drawn yet.

Out of the corner of my right eye I saw a huge ball of brilliant white light coming towards the house from the west, it was above treetop level but not by much. In my mind I compared the size to be like looking at a full moon on a clear night maybe bigger and as it neared it got bigger and bigger. I called to Anne to take a look, she was as surprised as I was.

We went out onto the deck to get a better look because of the glare from internal lights on the glass door. It stopped above the house and was absolutely huge, 2 maybe 3 football fields. The white light engulfed everything. One thing I noticed was that the light did not hurt our eyes. It hovered a few minutes with absolutely no noise, then all of a sudden a pale blue light came out of the bottom of this thing, the thing that was odd about the blue light is that it formed a perfect square on the deck.

The size was big enough to fully engulf Anne. All of a sudden Anne started to lift up off the deck, I immediately opened the sliding door with my left hand, jumped up and wrapped my right around Anne's waist, with a hooking motion I threw Anne into the kitchen then ran in and shut the door, when I looked back the light was gone.

Anne was out cold for about a minute, when she came too she said all she remembered seeing the blue light and hearing me say that the blue light was square, that's when she must of blacked out. Shortly after Anne awoke the phone rang, I was so shook up I couldn't answer it so Anne did. The call was from my sister she was in her car with her husband about 4 to 5 miles south east of us.

She told Anne she saw a ball of white light with a trailing blue tail. At first she thought it was a meteorite but ruled that out because it was so low and moving parallel with the ground. Soon after the call ( which by the way according to my caller id the time was 7:21) I noticed my right hand was burning and there were a couple of blisters below my middle finger. (pictures attached) for some reason that I cant explain I knew the blisters would be gone in the morning, which they did, so I had Anne take a picture of my hand with my digital camera.

I wish I had the camera with me on the deck but everything happened too fast. Anne and I are still shook up about all this but are willing to meet and answer any questions you may have.

Missing Time/UFO Experience Near Little Fort British Columbia

Date:  Spring of 1988

Hi Brian, I had an experience many years ago, a period of missing time. Do you have any recommendation as to who would be appropriate to perform a hypnotic regression? I live in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Here are the details of my experience: It was the Spring of 1988 and I was alone finishing the insides of a large log house. My wife and child were away in a middle of a 6 week visit to parents.

I had guaranteed my employer that I would put in 40 hours of work per week and since I kept somewhat irregular hours I used a log book to keep my word.

My work was finish carpentry/cabinetry and I had been some time (previous to this job) collecting tools for setting up a cabinet shop.

Since this was my first project, I spent a lot of time setting up and buying further tools on the weekends. The location was near Little Fort, British Columbia with the house being in a (semi) remote setting.

The previous weekend I had traveled to Kamloops Friday evening in order to buy tools and groceries and returned on Sunday evening. The house had wood heat, so on my return Sunday night I unloaded my purchases and packed some wood out of the wood-shed onto the porch (enough for the night and the following morning).


Monday morning I stoked the fire as at this time (mid February) there was about a foot of snow on the ground with temperatures of above freezing during the day with freezing temperatures during the night (+ 3 to - 5 temperature range thereabouts).

After breakfast I went to my shop and started running a series of boards for the room I was trimming. On a log house there is a great variety in the trim dimensions for each room so it made no sense to get too far ahead.

I recall working to just after noon Monday and it was a bright overcast day. The very next thing I remember was standing in the house and it was a dim overcast early morning. It seemed I had just materialized out of a fog. I did not recall getting up that morning, I was just there.

My brain felt completely frazzled as if I had something like an electroshock treatment (I imagine not ever having had any). I looked around the room at it was dusty and seemed un-lived in, like coming home after a holiday.

Looking down at my clothes I realized that I had the same work clothes on as Monday noon. I knew it was not Monday, but did not know what day it was. I turned on the radio, it was Friday morning.

I was now completely confused, how could it be? My mind was a complete blank from Monday noon. I started to check out the house. The wood I had piled up Sunday night was still outside the door in the porch, yet there would have only been enough wood for Monday daytime and not enough to stock up the stove for Monday night. The stove was stone cold, yet the house was not freezing (nor had the pipes froze).

The house seemed to be in a stasis, not hot, not cold as if something was keeping it stable, yet not really heating it. I looked at my truck outside and could see that it had not moved since the previous Sunday, there had been an intervening snowfall and I could see from the tracks in the snow that I had not driven out, nor anyone driven in.


I checked the fridge and there was all the food I had brought back for the week uneaten. I thought about my present condition, I was not hungry or thirsty and there was no way I had gone days without eating, in fact I was not hungry, only somewhat fuzzy in my brain.

I looked at my clothes again, I was dry and warm and had not been out in the elements. So no wood burnt, no food eaten, no work done, everything was as it should have been if it was Monday afternoon yet it was Friday morning (about 8:30).

I checked my log book and (curiously) it was open to Friday. I turned back through the pages and they were all blank to the previous Friday. I had never in the past 2 months of working there, failed to fill in my log book for an absence of greater than 2 days.

I started to rack my brain, thinking that I should be able to remember some small even insignificant detail of the past almost 4 days, yet there was absolutely nothing. The complete space of time is like a section of white noise in my memory.

A thought kept running through my head "I must have been here working, I must have been here working" on and on like a post-hypnotic
 suggestion.

Even though I absolutely positively knew I was not there working. I immediately filled in the missing pages with imaginary work, work that had not been done. This normally would have bothered me severely that I was cheating my employer.

I knew no work had been done, as the pile of boards I was milling Monday afternoon were exactly as I had left them. The room I was trimming was the same. Today if I owed you $10 it would bother me, yet this did not bother me and oddly it still does not.

I relegated this to the back of my mind and explained it away it as "Being bushed", although nothing like this had happened before or since.

Life went on, my wife returned, I continued working, a sense of normalcy came back to my life.

Then 3 months later, I had the "dream" and I remember it as if I just had it. I was back in my shop and it was the Monday just after noon. I immediately knew it was that day and it was more like a sharp memory than a dream.

My shop was beside the house and close to overlooking a lake. In the midst of running a board through my thickness planer a thought popped into my head, "I should walk to the lake (50' away). This was more of an command. I immediately shut off the machine, walked out of my shop and over to the edge of the hill overlooking the lake.

I looked up at the bright overcast sky. There seemed to be a saucer shaped hole in the clouds at a 45 degree angle! It did not look like a craft, more like a hole into the heavens, as if I could see into an incredibly defined starlit sky through this "hole".

The hole was jet black, disc-ed shaped and the "stars" were bright and twinkling. I was not afraid, more perplexed as to what I was seeing. I then realized that I was seeing a UFO and I got very excited as I had always wanted to see one.

As soon as I realized I was seeing a UFO, an electric shock went through me from my head to my toes and I was instantly awake sitting up in bed. The (UFO) realization, the electric shock and sitting up in bed were all the same instant. I immediately said to myself, "So that's what happened with the missing time" and there was no doubt in my mind. It finally made sense.

Since this time I have willed myself to have more "dreams" with limited success. I have never been able to go back to that time, yet have had
other more symbolic dreams of seeing landed UFOs with human-like people (men and women) yet nothing I would say like a memory-dream.

If anyone has witnessed an 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.

Markham, Ontario A Light Down The Valley (Ravine) Frightening Experience

Posted: January 23, 2008

HBCC UFO Research Note: I wanted to add a short note about this sighting as there were a number of reports that I have received from different folks over unusual sightings for the same date and around the same time in other areas in Ontario, main location for the UFO sightings was Scarborough, Ontario.

Date: August 4, 1977 Time: 11:45 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Markham, Ontario Canada. Number of witnesses: 5 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: White sphere.

Full Description of event/sighting: Brian, I was listening to the Rense show from last week and I realized that I had a sighting later the same night that Paul I believe his name was had the West Hill sighting. I lived in Markham due north of West Hill about 10 miles. I really did not see as much as I physically experienced. I and 4 friends were going home from the Roxy movie theatre after watching the 7:00 pm movie, and it had just become dark. I decided to cut through the ravine next to the main street Highway 48 going south toward Highway 7, also known as Wellington Street. As I was walking on the path I saw what looked like a motorcycle headlight except very bright down the ravine as I was making my way alone along the path. My friends were all walking the long way around as they were too freaked out to cut through the ravine at night. On the path there was a pair of posts, like the old cable guard rail posts from a highway guard rail with a chain across. I knew this was there and was very careful in the dark to find it and carefully step over.

About 10 feet past the chain is where I noticed the light down the valley (ravine). I remember looking at the light for about 2 seconds, and then I found myself on my face on the trail, as I got up there were leaves falling from the trees that I could make out in the darkness, I could just see them. The light was gone, I quickly made my way up to the highway and my friends were not there so I ran in the direction that they would have travelled and found them behind the beer store. They were a little shaken and when I finally got them to tell me what they had seen, they said a white meteor had come straight up the ravine just about tree top level. I asked them where it hit, they told me it didn't. It just kept going really fast.

I don't know if this in any way corroborates Paul's story but I never forgot Thursday the 4th August 1977.

Additional Information Below:

Cheers Brian, The answers to your questions are as follows.

Question 1:

You mentioned in your report that you saw the light in the ravine. Was the light actually in the ravine or sitting just above it ? I just wanted to be sure.

The light was diffuse it was not direct more of an indication through the trees. The light or whatever it was came over highway 7, now there is a stream in the bottom of the ravine which goes through a culvert under the highway. The reason that I mentioned this is because the elevation of the road was about 40 feet above the bottom of the ravine where the stream was.

I could make out the culvert and see light in it and through the trees the light was south and I would say was above the trees.

Question 2:

Also, roughly how far away were you from the light at it's closest point?

It went right over me, straight toward me and right over top too fast for me to look up before it was gone.

Question 3:

Was any type of sound detected?

No sound at all from the thing itself although I remember a whoosh and my first though was that it had been a helicopter but I thought instantly that there was no rotor or engine noise!

Question 4:

Or any lights on the object other than it being very bright?

I didn't see any although my friends just said that it just looked like a light ball and they heard a whoosh.

Question 5:

Something else I found of great interest, but not 100% sure as to what may or may not have happened. But you mentioned that you were looking at the light for approx: 2 seconds, and then I found yourself on your face on the trail. Now big question here, did you just trip, or fall down, and this is why you found yourself face down. Or did something else happened that may be related to the sighting event ?

I remember that I was careful that I did not trip over the chain across the trail (to stop cars coming in) as I knew it was there and was careful to locate it. I don't remember tripping and I do remember being really pissed off that I was face down and didn't know why. I went back the next day to see if there was anything on the trail that I could have tripped over.

Question 6:

I also was wondering if it was a windy night that day ? Reason why I ask is that you mentioned the leaves from the trees falling down around you. If you understand where I am going here, in other words I am wondering if there may have been interaction between you and the object.

No I remember that it was a warm night and that there was no wind to speak of not even a breeze it was a little eerie and maybe that's why my friends would not come for the short cut I think that they were a little freaked out. As far as interaction was concerned I am sure that it knocked me down but I don't remember anything else. The weird thing is that it must have displaced air because of the falling green leaves and the whoosh sound.

Regards.

Thank you to the witness for the very interesting report.
