Bright White Object Seen Flying In The Sky Over Parson British Columbia (ISS - International Space Station)


Date:  August 2012
Time:  Evening.

Hi I’m in Parson, B.C. and this is the fourth or fifth time I’ve seen this.

It’s a huge, very bright light travelling in a straight line and it moves fairly slowly.

I think the only explanation is military, but there’s no sound and it’s very, bright and large. Something that bright and large should make a sound shouldn’t it?

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 Object Travels Across The Night Sky Over Nanaimo British Columbia (ISS Sighting)

Date: December 28, 2010
Time: 6:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, I'm writing in response to your article at: http://canadaufo.blogspot.com/2010/12/ufo-bursts-into-light-and-still-hangs.html

Today, around 6:30pm, my wife and I saw something somehow similar to your observation.

As we were getting ready to go, I took the time to look at the sky and enjoy the stars before going in the car, when I spotted what seemed to be a satellite. Having watched hundreds of satellite before, I quickly concluded that this was different.

The speed was about 3 to 5 times faster and the brightness what many times stronger than the reflection I've seen from satellites. Actually, the object was brighter than any stars, like a large white star.

The trajectory of the object initially appeared straight, but after around a minute there was a very slight curve in it.

Everything lasted less than 3 minutes. The object's brightness finally faded away within less than ten seconds and enabled me to get a better idea of it’s size and shape.

When the object faded away, it looked more like an actual satellite before disappearing than a star, which gave the impression that the object was much smaller. Unfortunately, the object completely disappeared and could not be found after close observation.

We were unable to get any precise shape nor altitude. When I was younger, I had the chance to see many types of aircrafts, since my father was a pilot and an air traffic controller. But this is truly strange. If this was a satellite, the speed was absolutely tremendous and the brightness so great that it would imply some sort of large reflective area. Because of this and the shift in trajectory, I conclude it is not a satellite.

Moreover, the brightness cannot be easily explained if this was an aircraft, since it would have required a great deal of energy for no apparent reason but to be overly visible. In addition, no sounds were heard on this quiet evening.

There was no trace behind, resulting from the object. I'm tempted to believe this was a long range missile that "stopped" in flight (west to east), but how could it not leave a trace?

Hope this helps. Best regards.

Bright Light Traveling East Over Okotoks Alberta (ISS)

 
Date:  November 3, 2010
Time:  Approx: 7:45 p.m.
My Husband and I were sitting in our hot tub on Wednesday November 3, 2010 and approximately 7:45 pm we saw from the horizon to the west a bright light travelling east.

We thought is was definitely not a satellite for it was too bright and travelling far too fast. Moments before that we saw which looked light two fighter jets travelling north to south. We live in Okotoks Alberta. I am sure glad that there are other people that saw what we did on that Wednesday night.

Whitby Ontario Bright White Light The International Space Station (ISS)

Date: June 25, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:47 p.m.

Brian Vike's Note (Sightings.com): In regards to this sighting report and many others I have received. Folks are going to experience many extremely bright, white light sightings over the next few days. The International Space Station (ISS) will be in constant sunlight. You can also visit http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html Human Space Flight to check on your area for the ISS sightings. It is a spectacular sight to see.

This information is courtesy of Space Weather.com - For the next few days, the behemoth spacecraft will be in constant sunlight as its orbit lines up with Earth's day-night terminator. This means it will shine brightly in the night sky every single time it passes overhead. Some observers can see it 3, 4, even 5 times a night! Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center has prepared a movie showing the simulated view from a sun-facing window on the ISS and the movie clip can be found at: http://www.spaceweather.com/ along with more detailed information.

Hi Brian, hope all is good there with you to the west. I wanted to report a strange observation by myself and two other witnesses Friday night, June 25th 2010. I live in southwestern Oshawa bordering Whitby, Ontario. I was next door at my neighbor’s backyard during the late evening with three adults. We were talking in conversation and I looked up to the sky to the west-towards Whitby. I then noticed a round bright white light move extremely slow crossing the sky from south moving north.

Time was about 11:47pm est. As I watched this for about 5 seconds. I shouted out to the other three people Look, there’s a UFO ! The woman sitting beside me could see it were I pointed, as well another fellow. The third fellow missed in what section of the sky as he only had about 10 seconds to see it This white light moved in behavior that was NOT conventional. It moved very slow, as it faded out in a fashion that the light shrink from the outside to small –gone !

The attitude looked only about a few thousand feet. When I had first witnessed this slow round white light. It was at it's brightest point for about 5 seconds, until I shouted to the witnesses. As after I shouted out to the witnesses. I noticed it was starting to fade after ten seconds. The total time watching it would be about 15 -20 seconds. The woman said it was her first UFO sighting.

The other fellow mentioned that he had witnessed something in the neighborhood back, few years ago. I’m still thinking about this thing as I type this observation wondering purpose of unknown. Bloody strange and will keep watch during those future outdoor fires. Thanks for your interest and time in reading this story.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ISS Sighting

Posted: September 30, 2008

Date: September 28, 2008
Time: About 8:10 to 8:30 p.m.

Hi, Brian, I was walking home last night (Sunday, September 28) from about 8:10 to 8:30 and watched this bright light as it came up over the western horizon. From it's speed and brightness, I immediately assumed it to be the ISS, which I have seen many times previously. Last night, the transit was from due west to due east and almost directly overhead. It is fairly consistent in the amount of light it reflects back, although I have seen it change in intensity and colour as it passes overhead, a predictable outcome of the way sunlight will be reflected off its solar panels and other surfaces and the amount of atmosphere the light has to pass through to reach the observer. I was pretty sure at the time that it was the ISS. I checked the time, 8:20 p.m., and confirmed the transit on heavensabove.com when I got home. I did not see any other objects or lights pass over during the time that I was out.

The previous two times I saw the ISS, it was visible from horizon to horizon. It was brightest when it was overhead and was noticeably dimmer near the horizons. Last night, however, was different. Since I was walking westward, I saw it early, so I stopped to watch it while standing on a quiet residential street. As with past sightings, it grew brighter as it approached. As it passed overhead, I turned to watch it continue eastward. A few seconds later, I noticed that it took on a slightly reddish hue and began to fade. It faded much more quickly than previous times I have seen it and seemed to grow more reddish in hue as it did so. It then faded in intensity much more quickly than I have seen previously. A few moments later, I lost it in the haze of light pollution that glares from shopping malls, strip malls and other lighting nearby. At times, I almost thought that it was wavering or slightly zig-zagging as it passed overhead, but I attributed this apparent motion to my unsteady stance. If I braced myself, and observed how it approached and passed stars, I could see that the apparent wavering stopped.

I'm pretty certain it was the ISS and not some unexplained phenomenon. I figure that the dimming of it's intensity and the reddish hue were caused by the way its solar panels reflected and refracted the sunlight striking them.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Surrey, British Columbia ISS Sighting

Posted: July 31, 2008

Date: June 30, 2008
Time: 10:10 p.m.

Hi Brian, I'm not sure if i should report this or not since it might just be the space station but since i have never seen it before I don't know what it looks like. Last night July 30/08 at 10:10 (Surrey B.C.) I was gazing into the night sky and asked for a sign if there was anyone out there. Much to my amazement a bright light popped on (much bigger and brighter than the stars) and began moving from west to east at a fairly fast rate. When I owned a hot tub a dozen years ago I used to watch satellites moving slowly in the sky - but they were pin pricks. This was no pin prick and it was moving much quicker than the satellites moved. I called my boyfriend out to see this and ask him what he thought it was. His explanation was much more mundane thinking that it was the shuttle or the space station. We watched this light for about 2 minutes or so.

If you have an idea what this might be or if anyone else reported this Brian i would be interested to know!

Thanks so much. Cheers.

North Vancouver British Columbia ISS Or UFO ?

Posted: February 10, 2008

Date: August 12, 2007 Time: 11:14 p.m.

Location of Sighting: North Vancouver BC. Number of witnesses: 0 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Single spectral white "starlike" spot in motion.

Full Description of event/sighting: I have observed many satellites in the usual way, and was at one time a member of the Regina Astronomical Society many years ago. While looking at the "Persied" shower towards NE, August 12 at 11:10 pm, clear sky, a single 'starlike' object looking exactly like a normal satellite (where the satellites are illuminated by the sun after sunset); moving steadily and slowly towards the NE. Object visible for approximately 3 minutes until it left the area. The object may have tracked in a gentle arc, suggesting an orbital skew from my POV. The track put it directly overhead North Vancouver at highest point.

Single point source of spectral white light; no shape discernable, silent, no pulsing lights as on an aircraft.

My take: Too sharp, steady and small to be a white bird illuminated by city lights, also too sharp and too spectral to be a balloon or any kind of floater. Lack of navigation lights or any blinking on and off suggests it is not an airliner.

Most important: Since the sun had set at approximately 8:45 or so, the object could not have been illuminated at 11:15 pm, so either it was carrying it's' own source of light such as a beacon or ? or if it was illuminated by sunlight it would have to be one hell of a distance from earth to stay in sunlight and be travelling much faster than anything we sent up. (Passing asteroid?). I doubt it !

When I checked the orbital records of the ISS, it shows one pass over Vancouver on August 12 at exactly the same time or so it seemed, but I couldn't get my computer to agree with me. I am left with the possibility that it could have been the ISS with its' attached Endeavor and with its' work lights turned on for the crew to do some work of some kind. Otherwise, where did the illumination come from?

Interesting!

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Location of Sighting: Between Clinton and 70 Mile House, BC Number of witnesses: 0 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Bright Light.

Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, This is in response to the sightings in Maple Ridge of a bright light. I went out with the dogs last night at approx 22.20 in rural area between Clinton and 70 Mile House BC and while looking at the sky noticed a bright light moving in the western sky to the south. My first thought was that it must be a plane but after watching it realized it was just one very bright light moving along at a great distance. It then arched to the east, the light dimmed and disappeared. It was not a meteor or plane for sure.

HBCC UFO Research Note: I email the witness back and asked if what they may have witnessed was the ISS flying by, I also added the information from the ISS website. The witness agreed that this is what was seen. Which was the ISS.
