Flying Object Could Have Been A Helicopter

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

By Neil Horner – Parksville Qualicum Beach News.

Published – March 30, 2012 8:00 a.m.

Mysterious object seen by several more people in Oceanside area.

The report of strange lights in the sky over Parksville last weekend could well have been a helicopter, says UFO researcher Brian Vike, except for one important detail.

The object, seen by two witnesses between 9:30 and 10:10 p.m. on Saturday, March 24 night, made no sound.

“When I originally posted this, a fellow in the area wrote and suggested it might possibly be a helicopter,” Vike said in an interview Tuesday. “He said there is a clearing near there where they take off and land — and the lights sound like normal navigation lights on some sort of aircraft — but what bothers me is them being right beneath it and not hearing anything at all. Helicopters have a very distinctive sound. You can’t miss it. It’s loud.”

The sighting was witnessed by three others in Qualicum Beach, who read about it in The News and subsequently contacted Vike.

“I was surprised to hear that others saw a similar object that my son, husband and I witnessed from our back patio,” said one witness. “It was really large, triangular-shaped, with bright coloured flashing lights and very high up to the right.”

The woman said the object appeared to be just over a mile away and there was no sound of a helicopter audible.

“It was definitely not a helicopter, since the flashing lights were far brighter than the market lights of any helicopter I have ever seen,” she said.

Another witness from Qualicum Beach said the object first appeared at around 7 p.m. over Mount Arrowsmith.

“We too saw strange lights on Saturday night,” the witness said. “We were looking at Mount Arrowsmith and saw lights moving up and down the mountain. They were at different altitudes, separated by what looked like, several hundred feet. We saw white and red lights moving and thought it was very strange.”

Vike said he has no explanation for the Parksville sighting, but he’s hopeful that either other witnesses or someone who knows the origin of the  lights will contact him at houstonbri7@gmail.com

Flaming Object Streaked Through The Sky Over Star Prairie Wisconsin

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: December 1, 2008

Time: 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Star Prairie WI.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Bright streak of light.

Full Description of event/sighting: We started out looking for the moon tonight, but we saw something else instead that really blew our minds. We decided to go out of town to a deserted road to find the moon because we were having no luck with all the lights in town and the moon was supposed to be an interesting design tonight, but we couldn't even find the moon.

So we were looking up at the Orion constellation, when suddenly out of no where came this flaming object streak that almost looked like a firework, but no sound, and was gone in a matter of seconds.

At first we thought it was the shuttle, but when we came home we found out that it landed earlier today. The description that I can best give of it was, it started like a red around the rim firework and white in the middle. It really lit up the sky and went from east to west.

We didn't know what we were seeing until we checked up on the web and found this website and others like it. Strangely enough other people in the last month have been seeing stuff like this as well which really piqued my interest.

Star Prairie, WI is right near the border of MN, just east of St. Paul. This happened around 11:00 p.m. Sunday night, December 1st, 2008.

Another Witness For The Orange To Yellow Object Over Iowa City Iowa (Diagram)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 26, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 9:35 p.m.

Yes, I saw this object while leaving my mother's residence at about this time on this date.

See the attached (crude) drawing based on my recollection.

I saw an orange light or orange circular object, traveling roughly from south to north in the northeast sky, on a course that was very regular and smooth, at a speed that would be consistent with a satellite.  The diameter of the orange object was 2-3 diameters larger than Jupiter, which was also visible.

There were no associated twinkling lights of any other color.  There was no "trail" or sound associated with it.  I have seen many satellites at night in the sky, and I know the difference between a satellite and a airplane.

This caught my eye because it was not clearly one or the other.  A guy who was walking his dog at the time (at about the intersection of Mormon Treck Avenue and Walden Road) also stopped to look at it, so it was clearly something unusual. 

I could not track it all the way across the sky.  In other words, I did not see it from horizon to horizon.  I lost it (or it "disappeared") while it was still high in the sky.

My guess is that this was some sort of atmospheric lensing of a bright satellite.

Around 200 People Observe Illuminated Object Over Bellplain State Forest In Woodbine South Jersey

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 12, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:00 p.m.

Last night November 12, 2010 around 10:00pm about 200 spectators at a scheduled astronomy meet for the astronomy club located in the Bellplain State Forest in Woodbine in South Jersey saw this spectacular burst of illuminated debris fly over our heads. At first we thought it was a meteor (shooting star) but, it must have been a satellite burning up.

Many stated they never saw one travel so far and break apart as much as this one did and I agree, it stayed lit and traveled all the way to the horizon to the north of us and we lost site of it. 

We would really like to know what it was, you can contact the club at www.sjac.us for a better description from someone else. I was hoping there was going to be something on the news about it, but saw nothing yet. Please reply on your site, Thank you.

Yellow Orange Oval Object Over City Compton California

Date:  July 2, 2011

Time:  9:06 p.m.

July 2, 2011 at 9:06 p.m. City Compton, C.A. Hi there, I had sent once before a report on what I observed. Tonight as my son and I came back from our bike ride, I noticed the same oval yellow/orange object to the southeast from where I live. It was hovering extremely slow.

As I was telling my son that is what I viewed a few months back and if it disappears, it has to be the same UFO. Sure enough few seconds later it got smaller and disappeared instantly. My son was amazed. Good thing I have a witness this time. Have a good night.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Unusual Object Moves Across The Sky Over Warrington UK

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 24, 2011

Time:  11:15 p.m.

Hello Brian, my name is (name removed) and I live in Warrington UK. It's halfway between Liverpool and Manchester.

I was outside at 23.15, looking up at the stars as I had my last cigarette of the day. I noticed a single star get significantly brighter, just south of the Plough constellation. I watched it as it remained in place for around a minute. It appeared from nowhere as if powering up. No movement.

Then it started to move west at a speed similar to that of a jet at altitude. There was no perceivable acceleration. It was still, then moving. It moved across the sky about two hand lengths (if hands outstretched). This took about 10 seconds. During this time I argued with myself:

Shooting star? Too slow.

Helicopter? Too high, too quiet.

Jet? Stationary? No! and no flashing lights.

Then it moved straight up from a horizontal to vertical path and faded slowly away. The moment it disappeared, 2 parallel shooting stars came from the north behind me and across the path it had just flown.

I had not drank anything and the cigarette was 'straight'.

I hope this makes sense as I'm still a little excited and hope it is of interest to you.

Thanks for your time.

Unknown Round Object Hovering Over Rainham In Essex UK

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  May 31, 2011

Time:  Afternoon

Hello, I saw something strange over the sky of Rainham in Essex, UK. It Tuesday afternoon when I noticed in the sky a round object sitting in the sky and not moving. It was a windy day and the clouds were moving fast, but still it hadn't moved at all. As I was watching it, the object seem to shine in the sun and then would just disappear out of sight and then reappear.

I know in my area they stack planes and it seem like there was a lot of planes in around this object, like they were going to have a look. It look like a roundabout for planes as so many flew up and down and even past it. This object didn't move an inch, and held its ground for 10 minutes at least.

I have seen all sorts of things in the sky and I never seen an object to not to move. I saw this around 1:00pm over Mardkye Fields, but hard to tell as it was high up. It wasn't a star or planet, because it was with the planes. I guess 20 thousand or 30 thousand feet up.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Unknown Object Chases Eyewitnesses Near Cobourg Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1996-1997

Time:  Throughout the night and a.m.

Hi there, I just happened across your site today via Google. About 15 years ago (1996-1997) I had an experience with the same object you described on your link. I posted my story a few days ago on the Facebook group Paranormal Studies & Investigations Canada - PSICAN.

Here it is:

I'm not really interested in UFO phenomenon, however I was recently reminded of an incident that happened near Cobourg, Ontario with myself and 3 friends. This was about 15 years ago. We were out joyriding in my Dad's van, got lost, and stopped at what looked like some kind of gravel pit.

We all noticed what we originally thought was a star that was very close to the horizon. What grabbed our attention was that it was brighter than the other stars, and seemed to shift slightly from left to right.

We hopped into the van and drove toward it. It was then that it seemed to ascend higher into the sky as we drove closer to it. It would sometimes change direction, and we would follow it. After a little while of this we finally gave up chasing it and decided to find our way back home to Oshawa.

After a little while it appeared in front of us and as we drove in that direction it would get closer to the road. Every time we made a turn it would reappear in front of us descending toward the road. It really started to freak us out so I stopped the van, and it stopped as well.

Eventually it just disappeared. What I can't get over from that night is that we didn't get home until 8:00 a.m. the next day. We had been driving all night chasing, and being chased by some light in the sky.

Has there been any explanation given as of yet?

Thank you to the witness for the report.

My grandson gave me permission to send this picture to you. Was wondering if you have ever seen a UFO like this?

When you make it bigger you can clearly see if looks like a doughnut. Looks like it has got legs on it for when on the ground.

Nobody noticed this in the sky until I received it.

Thank you to the person for the report.

Strange UFO/Object Caught On Film In The Sky Over Livingston Montana (Pictures)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: August 21, 2008

Time: Approximately 7:45 p.m.

Canadian UFO Investigator Brian Vike’s Note: When reading the report and viewing the picture, please keep in mind that the person did not see this with his eyes, but found this later when viewing his pictures.

I was out late on the evening of August 21, 2008 after a storm taking photos. It was approximately 7:45 p.m. in the evening and there was still a heavy overcast.

It was fairly dark and I was taking the last photos I would be able to take for that day. I was going through the photos and noticed something that didn't belong in one of the photos.

 

I have included the original photo that shows the object above the phone lines to the right of center. I cropped it tight on the object you see in the second photo.

This photo was taken in Livingston, Montana. I had an expert do some work on the photo and she said see could get a little more detail out of the image.

She said it has small windows around the top and bans around the craft with a large band at the center which can be seen.

This same person and her daughters had seen a UFO in Virginia 2 days before which would have been the 19th.

Thank you. Photos are copyrighted.

Egg Shaped Object Flying Silently Over Bournemouth Dorset England UK

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Around October of 2003

Time:  Between 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.

I have been fascinated by the subject of UFOs since I was a small child, I'm 24 now. Around October time of 2003, I happened to have a sighting. It was probably around 9:00 -9:30 pm. I was walking back from the shops to the block of flats where I lived with my mother at the time, when an egg shaped object flew above me. It moved without sound, point forwards, with a tail of light (maybe as long as the craft itself), south-east-south over the road and disappeared above the flats where I lived. 

There are a number of variables that make this sighting hard to describe. Its speed, I suppose, could be comparable to the speed of a jet plane when viewed from the ground, namely very slow but if this thing was flying at the same height as a plane then it was about the size of a football field.

You see the problem. If I make a guess at size, speed, or altitude then all other factors have to change accordingly. Added to this is the fact that it happened two years ago and it was a clear night (no clouds = no frame of reference). If I had to guess though I would say it was moving at around ten miles an hour and was the size of a school bus, maybe 75 feet high. 

My second problem is in actually describing the object itself. As I have already said it was egg shaped flying silently point forwards with a tail of light following behind it. It was the way it was lit that is hard to describe. It was seemingly lit from within, white/orange and white/yellow but it was not transparent. Maybe a better description would be than it seemed to be superheated.

It's my opinion that most of us, even those who want to believe are completely grounded in reality and not really well equipped to deal with events dubbed paranormal. I don't mean to say that we panic but that we have a hard time with acceptance. 

Maybe that's just me. As a result I have spent the last two years half doubting what I saw. You have to wonder how many people experience such things yet don't report them out of just such skepticism or fear of ridicule. Luckily I have faced no ridicule but I have faced incredulity from the people I have told. I can't blame them for this, I doubted myself after all.

This morning came like a wakeup call. What I saw was no conventional aircraft, it was not swamp gas, Venus, or streetlight reflecting of duck buts and pardon the expression, but if that was a comet or meteor then we would all be goofed right now.

What I saw was something else.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Two Sightings - Large Glowing Red and A Blue Object/Light Over North Palm Beach Florida

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  December 16, 2011

Time:  7:15 p.m.

My wife and I saw unidentified objects flying overhead on 12/16/11 above North Palm Beach, FL.

My wife saw the first object at 7:15 p.m. (I didn't see the first object). She described it as glowing red orb, about a large as a basketball would appear at 10 feet away. The object flew directly from east to west on a flight path over our house (in North Palm Beach, FL).

She saw the object approach from the east as she was sitting on our back deck. She ran to the other side of our house as it passed overhead and watched it continue on westward and disappear. She said that it did not appear to be a plane and made no sound at all. She came in the house and told me what she saw (rather excitedly).

About 5 minutes later (~ 7:20 p.m.) she yelled for me to come outside and we both saw a glowing blue orb flying directly east to west. The orb appeared to be about the size of a tennis ball at 10 feet. The object didn't deviate from a straight line path and didn't make any sound.

There were no other lights near the blue orb. There were some low hanging clouds and the blue orb was above the clouds and partially obscured at times as it travelled (Therefore it wasn't a laser light being shone from the ground). I am a licensed pilot and I served in the Air Force, so I'm thoroughly familiar with aircraft and how they appear and behave in the air.

This object did not appear to be any kind of aircraft that I am familiar with. The altitude of the blue orb is hard to estimate (because I don't know exactly how big the object actually was). The actual speed (from our point of view) is hard to estimate because I don't know the altitude. Just a ballpark guess on both would be an altitude of 1000 - 4000 feet and a speed of 150 - 400 mph.

It definitely wasn't an airplane's landing light. If you see an aircraft with it's landing light on as it is approaching you, the light will dim and disappear as it passes by (the light is facing away from you as the aircraft is flying away from you). The light from the blue orb was the same strength the entire time during it's approach to and it's departure from our point of view. Besides, I've never seen an aircraft light that was so intense blue.

The flight path that we witnessed would be approximately from (Geo coordinate positions) 26.900028, -80.112605  to  26.902477, -80.146637.

Two Circular Orange Object Near King Wisconsin

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 2, 2011

Time:  9:22 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Near King Wisconsin hwy QQ

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 2

Shape of Objects: Circular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: September 2, 2011: I walk my dogs every night before retiring and had one dog tied on her chain while I walked the oldest to the end of our drive way and looked down the road west toward town. The time was about 9:20 pm CST.

My wife and I have seen the Space Station go over at times and this time when I looked towards town I saw a bright orange roundish shape coming our way and I thought, hmmm I wonder if this could be the Space Station.

There was some cloudiness and not fog, but hazy sort of, but which you could see stars between smaller clouds.

The orange object kept coming in my direction and I also wondered, perhaps maybe the only jet we have here was coming into the local air port. About this instant from the same direction, but more over the top of me came a second orange object over a large willow tree in the yard. I would guess maybe 1/4 mile or more abreast of the 1st object, but trailing it similar to what I would call a wing man.

I was watching them both when the 1st one turned and started flying to the south almost a straight line away from me and was still glowing bright orange.

The second one flew almost directly over my head and again I thought maybe they were fighter planes from Madison flying a night mission.

The 1st object was getting dimmer as it got further away from me and then the 2nd one turned what I would say was southeast and continued on that course until it also disappeared from view. While the 2nd one was right over head 2 cars went by toward town and I wondered if they were watching this object also, but they did not stop, but continued down the road.

What really gets me is that there was no sound at all from either object, the color was the same both coming and going away and when the fighters do fly here you can hear them for a very long time. These objects made no sound at all.

I don’t have a camera cell phone and don’t know what one would have captured if I did have one, but this incident has got me. I was in the air force as a photo interpreter in the 1960's and saw lots of things, but this one has me stumped and at the same time shaking.

I called the local sheriffs office and told them what I had seen and they hadn’t had any other calls. Any one wants to come and chat, I will have you stand where I did and will show you where the objects came from and went to.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Twinkling Object In The Sky Over Brampton Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 21, 2011  (Approx: date)

Time:  Evening.

Hi there, My partner and I live in Brampton, and we saw a strange object in the north-northwest sky a couple of weeks ago. Similar to a bright star or close planet, but on watching closely, the object appeared to be twinkling more than normal seeing would account for. We got out the binoculars, and could see what seemed to be LED lights flashing in various colours and patterns. 

We don't have a video camera, and our still cameras and phones didn't pick up anything significant, but I did some research on the internet, and have found video from all over the world of object(s) similar to what we saw. 

Last night we looked out the window and saw a similar object again! Hard to make out the scale, but my best guess would be that it was in the area between Orangeville and Erin. 

During our first sighting it seemed to stay in the same part of the sky for a very long period, however yesterday was very windy in this area, and it seemed to drift significantly. It moved over the horizon from our perspective within about an hour.

I believe it possibly came back into our field of view a few hours later but can't confirm, because I only saw light through tree branches, and that doesn't rule out an actual star (no planet would have been in that location in the sky). Based on its apparent movement, my guess would be that the lights are attached to some sort of balloon or dirigible.

My research has led me to suspect we have been seeing something known as "Maitreya's Star", an attempt to interest people in the 'teachings' of a man who makes, among other things, 2012 doomsday prophesies. 

What I am very curious about is exactly what these lights are attached to, and how many of them are in our atmosphere. It seems like more than co-incidence that my partner and I have seen them in roughly the same part of the sky twice now...

Have you heard other reports of this object?  If so, where and when?

Thanks and regards.

Spinning White Object Spotted Over Altadena California (Graphic)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 29, 2011

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:30 a.m.

Came across your website and decided to write to you about my sighting on Saturday November 29, 2011 around 10:30 a.m.

I live on Grandeur Ave of Altadena Drive. I was talking to my neighbor in his yard and noticed a white object which I spotted at a relatively low altitude in a northwesterly direction. We tracked it for about a minute as it drifted slowly west and appeared to be rotating at a slow speed.

My neighbor commented to his dad (who's visiting from France) that it was most likely a weather balloon launched by JPL. It appeared white, but had noticeable protrusion from it’s side which ended in a darker shape.

The object appeared to be spinning which was made noticeable by its irregular shape. The sky was perfectly clear and blue and void of any wind. The object was silent and moved slowly and predictably.

I decided to run into my house to grab the camera and took all but 30 seconds to come out again, but the object had vanished. I scanned the sky without relocating the object again.

It seemed strange that such a slow moving object that was large enough to be spotted would so quickly disappear.

Attached is my sketch of the shape of the object.

Would love to hear what you think. Best.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
