Saucer Shaped UFO With Legs Saskatoon Saskatchewan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 2002

Time:  11:50 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 4

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Saucer with legs.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving my son age 14 and my roommates twins age 9 to my sons basketball game. We were driving down Circle Drive Bridge going west when I looked up in the sky and noticed a metal object in the sky.

This object was located above, but just behind the Rona building not too high up. I told the kids to have a look at this thing and we were all in awe. The traffic light at Circle Drive and Miller Ave, it turned red so then we had a better look.

This object which I believe was a UFO, was not moving, it was just sitting there idle in the sky. It was a metal saucer shape with about 5 legs with these large metal balls under the legs, but not attached to the legs.

These balls were idle spinning very fast. It was almost like the spinning balls were keeping the UFO in mid air with the force. Then the balls started moving in a counter clockwise direction (still spinning) underneath the object in a circle.

The balls were evenly spaced as they were circling underneath and then the balls started to make a wider circle and then they looked like they were going to move up into the underneath of the object.

The light turned green and we had to go so what ever happened after that I'm not sure. I wanted to just sit there and watch this thing till the end but my son was getting upset because we were going to be late for his basketball game. An hour later on our way home we kept our eyes on the sky but this object was gone.

I'm just thankful that I had other people with me who saw this because when I tell people they don't believe me, even my best friend thinks I'm cracked.

Then about a month or two ago I was reading an article in the Star Phoenix about crop circles being reported at farms just outside the city. They showed a picture of a crop circle where the crop was flattened by something in a counter clockwise motion.

As I was looking at the circle, and the size of the circle, to me it sounds like the object I seen could of made a crop circle like that. The way the metal balls were spinning idle very fast and then the way they were circling around the underneath of the object going in a counter clockwise direction and the magnetic force feeling people were having. I know there's no explanation for these crop circles but this could be one of them to take into consideration. 

I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to tell my story.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Witnesses Drive Underneath Hovering Metallic Classic Flying Saucer Shaped UFO Salem Oregon

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 2, 2002

Time:  Approximately: 9.10 p.m.

Message: Dear Mr. Vike, I wanted to describe two UFO spotting's which I have witnessed. 

The first came on August 2, 2002, at around 9.10 p.m. approximately 2 miles south of Salem, Oregon nearly directly over I-5, the main north-south freeway on the US west coast. 

It was nearly twilight on a Friday or Saturday evening on a perfect summer evening. I was in the passenger seat with my wife driving south on I-5, and as we came over a hill we both saw a bright metallic object move very quickly from southeast to northwest an estimated 1 mile ahead. 

My wife jokingly pointed and said "look, a UFO" just as it disappeared from view as we went down the hill. It was out of view maybe 5 seconds. 

As we drove over the next hill suddenly there it was almost directly in front of us. A metallic classic saucer shape, seemingly hovering motionless right off the freeway. 

My initial reaction was to estimate distances, about 100 feet east of I-5, about 400-500 feet in the air. 

We drove almost directly underneath it, and I could see bright red lights and a distinct edge of a round opening on the underside. I immediately asked my wife to pull over, but the shoulder of the freeway was very narrow, and she said no. 

I then said 'go to the next exit and turn around, which she did, the whole time with me looking backward and saying 'faster, faster'. The next exit was about 3/4 of a mile ahead, and we turned off and went back the other direction, about 50 seconds total (I timed it). But it was gone, nowhere to be seen. Literally scores of cars drove past the spot during the time it was visible, and I can't believe we were the only ones who saw it.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

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.

Eyewitness Observes Saucer Shaped UFO Over San Jose California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Winter of 1985/86.

Time:  Late Afternoon.

One late afternoon in the winter of 1985/86, in San Jose, CA., I was outside looking toward the mountains to the east and at the sky. The sky was sparsely filled with low clouds. The clouds and sky were hued with various colors.

Out of my left eye toward the north, I saw something dropping down from the sky from more than 10+ miles away at about 30+ miles a minute as I turned my head to see it correctly. At this time its' distance may have been about 8+ miles away. It looked like a 'block'.

It dropped down further and began to arch to level to the ground, seemingly coming toward me, traveling about 4 miles a minute at about 6+ miles away.

It began to move north to south across my field of view. I was now able to see that its' side hull wall was tapered that it looked like a saucer, but had a block appearance to it. Its' outer hull had a dark green, gray appearance.

The hull wall had an outer plating that was 5 plates tall and the plates wrapped the circumference of the ship. Each row of plates was offset from each other in a staggering that brought every other row aligned. These hull plates were set to the base hull with what appeared to be rivets, very large rivets.

The ship began to slow in its' north -south direction, to about 2 miles a minute. The ship had already begun to run parallel to the ground and as it was stepping across my view the suns light gave it a dark gold, green, gray appearance. At this time its' size was realized.

I felt very cold, I could feel the bump, growing on me, but didn't want to be afraid of 'it'.

Now it began to come back toward me after having stepped across me. It was about 3 miles away. Its' view took about a reference of 20 degrees from a reference 180 degree field of view. The lower row of hull plates, in the angular view, was about 20-35 plates and diameter to height ratio was about 4.5-6 to 1. The sun still shown light on it.

I was unable to recount the intricacies of the ship and most gauging are vectors due to there being no standard frame of reference and the fact that I was taken by surprise.

The hull plates, each, in their overlap, were held by about 22 rivets along their edge. At this time the ship had slowed to less than 1 mile a minute. As it continued toward me I was able to obtain a vector of individual plate area, which appeared to be about 300 feet wide by 500 feet tall from roughly 1.5 miles away. And "IT" was still coming.

At this time the terminator was upon 'it' and 'it' had begun to appear silver, gray. I felt a sense of stalking me, somewhat afraid. It was less than 1 mile away and took up about 100 degrees of my field of view. The rivets appeared to be as big as houses on 'its' hull plates, and I attempted to guage the plate area again. It seemed to confirm, it was still moving, slowly.

It seemed to be stepping down toward me. When 'it' stopped it was about, what appeared to be less than 1000 feet away. Its' footprint was large. The far edge seemed far away and it was dark underneath. I was able to look up across its' plate-wall about 4 plates high to a cloud which had settled on the upper hull plates. I felt it close enough to walk onto it.

It stood there for what seemed to be about 5 minutes while I looked. Then 'it' "JUMPED OFF" at a velocity I had to calculate as acceleration according to the time I was able to deduce by the distance I was able to reference as being able to see and lock as a standard ability.

The final accelerative calculation gave 'it' a velocity of approximately 3700 miles in that splitting of a second. It need be realized that at the end of one second its' accelerative velocity was much greater if the accelerative vector was maintained.

It is possible that the amount of time it takes to read this is comparable to the amount of time of the real elapsed time of the event.

Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

Huge Disk Shaped UFO Hovering At Eye Level Toronto Ontario

This sighting report was never posted !

Date:  March 1981

Time:  11:00 p.m.

Number of Objects:  1

Shape of Objects:  Disk shaped.

Colour of Object:  Two tone silver.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Good evening, in March, 1981 my mother and I had a very unusual and very real UFO experience.

The back story to this is that I was 15 years old and 9 months pregnant. I was at boarding school that year and was staying with my Mom at the Sutton Place Hotel over the March break.

I was sitting with my back to the big bay window in the living room (we were on the 23rd floor). My mother was seated facing the window. All of a sudden my mom asked me to turn around as she was staring out the window.

We got up off the couches and stood at the large window looking out. There right in front of us was a huge disk suspended at our eye level, so close we could have touched it had we been outside. The window separated us and the disk.

It was two tone grey with a band of rotating light around the belly. We could see detail on the disk, it was that close. It has a smaller dome shaped point at the top of it. It was silent and hovering (no movement). It was eyelevel with us and it was as if it was looking back at us, however there were no windows that we could see.

My mom and stood there for approxamtlty 10 minutes pinching ourselves because we were so confused about what we were seeing. This was downtown Toronto amongst high rises.

It was incredible, we never felt afraid, just curious. All of a sudden the disk shoots across the sky and within seconds is a small light sitting over lake Ontario before disappearing.

The first thing we did was call the front desk of the hotel, they had no report of a sighting. Then we called the radio station, again, no report of a sighting. It was as if my mom and I had been the only ones who saw it and yet this was downtown Toronto amongst high rises and thousands of people walking and driving the streets of Toronto.

I went into labor a day later and gave birth to a baby boy whom I gave up for adoption. I’ve often wondered if my pregnancy had anything to do with this sighting. Were they interested in me because I was ready to give birth? I have no idea, but it has always haunted my mother and I. And another aspect of this story is that my mom and I have different accounts of what time this happen.

That’s our only discrepancy with the sighting. I swear it was approxamtlty 11:00 p.m. because I have a vivid memory of Johnny Carson being on the TV. My mother however swears it was dusk, approxamtlty 5: 30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. We still to this day disagree on the time however everything else about our sighting is identical when we recall it.

Thank you to the eyewitness for their report.

Black Rotating Saucer Shaped UFO Hovering Over Ladysmith British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: June 1998 ?

Time: Approxamtlty 9:00 p.m.

Hello, I found your email on ufoinfo.com while reading a report in Cranbrook that happened some years ago. While the situation differs vastly from what I can recall from my own, it did cause me to mentally dig up what I've kept away for about 10 years Hopefully, you'll find it of some interest.

I was sitting in my bed reading the first Harry Potter book. It had only been published in Canada a few months prior, so this was several years before Pottermania had struck. I highly adored the books concept, and to think anything could draw my attention away from it, especially as a 9 year old child, would be unthinkable.

The reason I chanced to look out the window was to prevent myself from reading the entire book in a sitting, which was one of my unfortunate and expensive habits at the time. At that moment, I was scared to the point where my entire body locked up, due to the fact that a giant black rotating saucer was hovering about one and a half kilometers away, and about the same distance from the ground (maybe less).

It was nighttime, so the neighborhood lights obscured much of the detail of the underside of the craft, but I could tell from the jerky blurriness of the sides' lights that it was spinning.

A few seconds after this, the craft disappeared in a flash of light that only encompassed the area of where the craft had been spinning in the air. A line of light lasted a few moments and appeared to indicate the direction that the craft flew away to.

This occurred in Ladysmith, B.C., sometime during the month of June. It was about 9:00 p.m., and there were no cars driving around. The area that the UFO would have been directly above was an uninhabited provincial forested park that was also mountainous.

The most striking detail about the craft was that it was darker than the night sky, despite having small bright lights on its side and underbelly. The entire event lasted about 5 seconds, yet it left a lasting impression on my memory.

To this day, I can slow down the sequence of events in my mind and draw inferences from what I witnessed. I never came forward for fear of retribution, claims of insanity or attention seeking, but now I am simply curious if anyone else saw what I saw that night in June in 1998.

I read about a sighting in Prince George, B.C. that describes almost the exact same craft, except it takes place in 1969.

Any feedback is welcome.

Sincerely and painstakingly truthfully.

Thank you to the witness for a very interesting sighting report.

Landed Flying Saucer With Greenish Haze Surrounding It At Scranton Pennsylvania

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1968 - 1969

Brian Vike’s Note: I telephoned the lady who filed this report to me and we had a long and very nice conversation. She went onto tell me about a Black Triangle sighting she and her husband were witness to. This huge craft flew slowly over the road and above their vehicle.

Other people pulled their cars over and stopped on the road to watch this same craft. The lady, who's name is Judy also did a telephone interview with me for the radio show I host and this will be aired this coming Sunday, April 15, 2007.

So tune in, a very interesting report. Also I would like to make a request that if anyone knows of the a person holding these photos, or anyone who knows anything about this sighting would they please contact me here at brian_vike@telus.net

Hi, I don't know why I have ever reported this before, probably because I am not in touch with the student involved nor do I have the pictures. This happened in a community college English course where I was trying (as we teachers do) to drum up some interest in anything to a group of listless students.  So, I started talking about UFO's. 

I saw several boys in the back row poking one of their group and saying "tell her." So, I asked him and after some coaxing he told this amazing story:  His hobby was photography and he had a number of cameras. 

On this occasion he and some buddies had gone to visit his sister at her college near Wilkes Barre, Pa. (Having grown up in the Scranton area, I was familiar with the locale.)  As they were fooling around in the nearby woods they came upon a landed flying saucer.  As he had two cameras with him, one of which had a telephoto lens, he started taking pictures. Several of the other fellows started throwing rocks at it.  The rocks made a "ping" when they hit. 

They then became frightened and ran off.  When he came home he sent the pictures off to Eastman Kodak to be processed. These were color photos which he did not have the equipment to process.  Eastman Kodak returned on two or three of the shots with a letter explaining that such photos were routinely confiscated and if he wished further information he should contact the Dept. of Defense.  (His sister did so but got no response.) 

Anyway, I asked if I could see the pictures. He seemed reluctant, but he brought them in.  WOW.  The pictures showed very clearly an oval shaped "craft apparently of polished aluminum with a greenish haze around it. 

I have never to this day seen any pictures as clear cut or as close as this was. The student told me that the haze was actually blue to the sight but came out as green.  He took the pictures home. When several other teachers expressed interest, I asked him if he could bring them in again. 

He was obviously so uncomfortable that I apologized and dropped the subject. Unfortunately he dropped out of the class. I hope this incident was not the cause. I don't know whether this is  of any interest or not, but I can assure you that when I see the currently available pictures of UFOs  I have to laugh. This was the real thing.  (Retired English Professor, Suffolk Community College, Seldon, L.I.)  Currently living in N.Ft. Myers, Fl.

Additional Information:

Hi and thanks for your interest.  I would be happy to make a drawing but being an old lady (76) my knowledge of computer technology is elementary. I don't know how to send a picture, but the pictures were beautiful.

The "craft" was a slightly elongated egg or oval shape. The metallic surface, like polished aluminum or steel, was quite lovely. And the greenish haze that surrounded it was breathtaking. I do not recall any markings or detail. It was apparently resting on the ground, or very close to it. Yes, I would be glad to talk to you about the sighting or any other info I might have. 

I regret that I didn't report this at the time, but in that time period  there really weren't too many serious UFO students. If you are interested, my husband and I drove directly under one of the famous Hudson Valley craft that was written up by Hynek. 

My husband had a private pilot's license (and had been in the Naval Air Corps) and we can assure anyone that this was no extra-light plane.  I have followed the UFO scene over the years but just as an observer not as an active participant and certainly not as a groupie. Anyway, thanks for your kind interest and yes, I'd be happy to contribute whatever I can. Regards.

Thank you to Judy for the very interesting report and also for taking the time to speak to me on the telephone.

Hovering Saucer Shaped UFO Emitting An Orange Glow Over Oyster River Black Creek Vancouver Island British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Around October 10, 2007

Time:  Evening.

Location of Sighting: Oyster River, Black Creek Vancouver Island

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Saucer shaped.

Brian Vike’s Note: If anyone else has witnessed this craft would they please contact Brian Vike, Director of Kamloops British Columbia Canada UFO Research with the details of the sighting. brian_vike@telus.net

Full Description of event/sighting: I will get the people involved to put their stories on here. One is a friend who has seen the same flying object 3 times in the last month. The last is a friend of my son's. I just asked him tonight about his sighting.

He saw the same saucer shaped object on the same night as my other friend, Wednesday of this week or there abouts in Black Creek just north of the Merville store.

He was being driven home by his boss and they pulled over off the highway in a Hummer vehicle (thinking they were safe) and watched the craft hovering over a neighbor's property.

He said it was saucer shaped and had revolving lights that emitted an orange glow. It then flew in a zig zag pattern and took off toward the ocean.

My other friend was telling me of the same craft that very night (after I dropped my son off at the friend's house). He said the same thing..orange light and a glowing saucer. He told me he was driving south when all of a sudden the lights of the saucer came on. He said he went "oh no, not again" rolled up his windows and continued driving toward home. He said he was very scared.

Altogether he has seen it twice this past week in the same locale between Oyster River and Black Creek, but his sightings were over the ocean. A previous sighting about a month ago was over a field near Oyster River.

Again a saucer, but cream colored light with blue or green. I think that is what he said. I will pass this link onto my son's friend and also my other friend that saw it 3 times. It is better that they talk to you themselves. I was just wondering if you had any other reports from Vancouver Island (up past Courtenay) this month? Has anyone else seen this same craft? (in all cases, it has been only one craft) That is about all for now.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Terrified Witnesses To A 30 Foot Hovering Saucer Shaped UFO In New York State

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 11, 2007

Time:  10:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: New York  (near Pine Bush).

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: 30 foot saucer shaped vehicle red blue lights w/beam.

Full Description of event/sighting: Driving home on country road when lights were sighted behind a tree, about 40 feet up and about 40 feet in front of us. We stopped our vehicle, it lowered and moved directly in front of us over road. Flashing blue and red lights and a beam of light from under it, beaming onto road in front of us.

It hovered over road directly in front of us. We were actually having a terrifying encounter with this thing. Who was going to make the next move? My sister, who was driving wanted to turn around and go back down the road towards town. I knew not to get under the beam. I knew if we tried to go back it would get over us.

I told my sister to make turn into upper driveway to our house. We had to go toward the UFO, and it lowered more and began to come toward us, but we swerved a sharp right to turn into the driveway. We were terrified! We parked our car, my sister on driver's side ran to house, saying "it is not a helicopter. It makes no noise!" 

I opened passenger side, and running around back of vehicle, looked up straight ahead of me. The UFO is directly in front of me, very close to the ground, just hovering. No beam of light underneath now, but a grey blue light all around it.

It was between the house and garage buildings, just hovering there. It was about 30 feet wide. I was sort of mesmerized by it. We try to account for the time. Just remember suddenly again being behind my sister on the porch as she was trying to open the door with the keys, surprisingly so calmly.

Afterwards, we both realized it must have been directly over our vehicle in the driveway because we did not see it go down the road in front of us. Also, a funny thing was my sister had been frightened by these things hovering low near the radio tower on the road and had been practicing parking here vehicle facing the road and practicing opening the door as quickly as possible.

It hovered a few minutes, then very, very slowly moves up and away from me over tree tops. A very, very whisper of sort of an electrical generator sound.!

 The next day the tree it hovered over before slowly moving toward road had the leaves all drooping and looked dried out. And a circle on the grass where it hovered. There are always these strange "flashing stars" in the area all the time, and my sister is very frightened of these things. Even before this encounter.

Like she has had some "experience" with them before or something. She would point at them and tell me "those are not stars!"  And every night they are still there, some hanging very low, not at a great distance. These "flashing stars" are also here in Branson, Mo. I see them every night. Just hovering in the sky all the time. Not sure if these are military vehicles or what. But this is very frightening.

I had been in New York for only a short time when this happened and we did not go out after dark after this. Did research on the Pine Bush UFO sightings over the years. Know top military experimentation facilities in the area. Researching more very interesting information about the area and military and government experimentation and facilities.

I have found information on a UFO crash in the area in 1965, and military people came on our property about that time to search for something. I remember my dad and I watching the UFO's in the sky from out kitchen windows in the 60's and 70's, usually a cluster of three or so. They would hover and then suddenly just take off really fast to nowhere. But couldn't talk about it then.

Now look at the talk on the internet. No, we are not crazy. This is really happening. But what and who are they?  Sort of makes me proud when my sister and I can say "two blondes out maneuvered a UFO" ! What would the brunettes have done?

Joking about it now. But it was the most terrifying experience of my life. We thought we were going to die. We were hysterical, crying a screaming. Now I see them here too. Why is no one, like scientists and "star gazers" not talking about them? I can easily pick them out.

They just hang in the sky for hours, and have flashing pulsating red and green lights. And there is sometimes a larger very bright white thing with them. Are many other people reporting these things to you also?  On the internet I've found a few people questioning these "flashing stars."

Thank you to the witness for the very interesting report.

Saucer Shaped UFO Screams And Strange Creature La Crescenta California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  Late 1975

Time:  Approximately 4:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 6

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Thick saucer shaped.

Full Description of event/sighting: This is mostly in regards of the 1975 sighting/screams in Thousand Oaks, Ca. La Crescenta is about forty miles south, and only about five or six miles from Jet Propulsion Laboratories, which is in Pasadena California.

I do not if these experiences have any bearing on the family from Thousand Oaks, but here it is:

I had a friend over the house late in 1975. I was sixteen years old at the time, and we were outside talking, and looking at a baseball game in progress across the street at the park. The weather was clear, plenty of daylight left. Although honestly I did not see this saucer shape appear, It was suddenly there, hovering over the sky to the North of us. It is difficult for me to tell exactly how high, or far away it was, but the UFO appeared huge.

Excuse me, I mean HUGE! It stayed in the air for some time, as we had time to observe it, I had time to run into the house and get my mother, brother, and father to come out and look at it.  It was hovering over the park, between us and JPL.

I remember that it had some lights on the side, rotating around the surface of the craft. It hung in the air, but was not totally motionless, as though it kept trying to stabilize itself, kind of like it was on a gyro that wasn't functioning properly. It stayed around for about two or three minutes, than tilted and then left the area at a high rate of speed. Aside from the aforementioned witnesses, I am not sure that anyone else had seen the object.

Now, concerning the screaming that the folks in Thousand Oaks that happened around the same time:

We had some incidences of screaming around here about that time, also. If memory serves correctly, it was just before the above mentioned sighting. Crescenta valley is in a bowl shaped area, created by the mountains to the north of Burbank, California and the Angeles crest forest north of that.

We lived pretty much at the base of the Burbank mountain. There is an aqueduct that was cut out in the early seventies, for flood control. Across the flood control (which was fenced off) lies the Crescenta Valley Park, which is directly across the street from my parents house. There are night baseball games (little league) and lights in the park.

It was dark, not too late at night, and some friends and I were sneaking a cigarette in the park, next to the flood control trench when we heard a god-awful scream which reverberated off of the hill, neither animal nor human, but it would be more to the animal side of noise. The three of us about jumped out of our skins, and were trying to see across the trench as to what could have made that particular noise.

It may be important to note that the lights of the baseball field had a hard time penetrating this far towards the trench to the hills, and we could not see where it had emanated from. We were in the midst of discussing what had caused the ruckus, and noticed some spectators from the game wandering over towards the trench, kind of angling away from us, so I knew we were not the only ones to hear it. After awhile, these folks left back to the game.

Some time later, as we were still standing around, discussing the incident, we heard another scream across the trench. This time, we witnessed the strangest sight. What it appeared to be was some kind of kangaroo/Chupacabra looking animal about fifty yards away, towards the base of the hill. It had to have been at least seven or eight feet tall, we could see its legs and tail fine, but it was kind of hard to see a face, as it fell within some shadows of light off the baseball field.

We looked at it, it looked at us, and I really thought some guy rented a Halloween suit and was playing tricks on people. Our minds were changed however, when it ran away.  It took off going from zero to about forty miles an hour in an instant.  And it went straight into the hills. Straight up the hill. We couldn't follow it for long, but were able to kind of keep track of it by all of the noise it created beating through the brush. I still think of this from time to time, and a kangaroo keeps coming to mind.

As a side note, when I was stationed in the army in Germany, we were on patrol one night in the Black Forest region, late at night, on a small game trail when the whole squad heard a scream which echoed all over the place.  No kidding, the hair on my arms stood up.  As we only had blanks for our rifles, we turned around and hightailed it out of there. Here's the extra weird thing.

Across the animal trail that we had passed not five minutes before, there was a huge tree covering the trail.  Needless to say, nobody ran around it, we had so much adrenalin flowing we pretty much climbed/jumped the fallen tree, and pretty much ran all of the way back to the area of operation.

Thank you to the witness for the fascinating report.

Saucer Shaped UFO Hovered 200 Feet Above Witnesses And Illness From Encounter At Glyn Ciriog North Wales

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 10, 1996. Time: Approximately: 7:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Glyn Ciriog North Wales

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 Ciriog, N. 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 or 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.

Thank you to the witness for this fascinating report.

Multiple Reports Of Flying Saucer Over Tuc-El-Nuit Lake Oliver British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: Early to mid 1950's ?
Time: Early afternoon.

Location of Sighting: Tuc-El-Nuit Lake Oliver British Columbia Canada
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Saucer shape on top and bottom.

Investigator Brian Vike’s Note: Now this is a really interesting sighting report since there appears to have been more people who witnessed this object as the person reporting mentions the radio station carried a news story on this craft being observed by others.

I would like to request from others who were in that area at the time and if they saw this craft, would you please be kind enough to contact me here at brian_vike@telus.net with the details of what you saw. Thank you, Brian.

Full Description of event/sighting: I recall I was 8 or 10 years old and playing by myself in our back yard on the west side of Tuc-el-Nuit Lake.

I was not looking at the lake, but was facing north. A movement over my right shoulder caught my attention and I turned towards the lake.

Flying very low above the lake and coming from the south was a very strange looking airplane. It had no wings, no propeller, was the same shape top and bottom and made no sound. The size was a bit bigger than any plane I'd seen before and the only planes I had seen were small private planes. I'd never been to a big airport.

The colour a silver grey. The lake was only half a mile wide at that point so "the plane" was quite close and only about three times as high as our rooftop. If it had been a float plane I would have expected it to be landing at the far end of the lake.

It was moving only a little faster than I would have expected a plane to fly. I watched it continue up the lake then went back to my playing.

Later when I went in the house I told my mother about the strange plane I'd seen.

A short time later she heard on the 5:00 p.m. news that a "flying saucer" had been seen by a great many people flying north up the Okanagan Valley. It fit the description of what I'd seen so she told me about it. The radio station was CKOK Penticton.

I wasn't overly impressed as I'd never even heard of flying saucers. My parents were aware of them, but it was never a topic that they had any reason to discuss. To me it was just a funny looking airplane. In fact, if it had not been on the news I doubt that I would have remembered it as the years went by. Of course to see it now would be very exciting and I would pay a lot more attention!

Over the years I've looked at archives of sightings in B.C., but have never seen mention of that event. That surprises me a bit since several people apparently reported it to the radio station at the time.

Unfortunately I can't give the exact year. I just know it was after 1950 and before 1960. It was around the time that my parents were part of a team of volunteers that had to report any planes they heard or saw during their shift. My parents shift was midnight to 2:00 a.m..

Both being teachers they used the time to mark papers! Years later when I asked why they were doing that, they couldn't remember what it was about, but that it was being done in more areas than Oliver.

Around that same time period there was another sighting in the sky that I noted, but did not think about more than just briefly. I was in the same area of Oliver playing with some friends. This was early afternoon in the summer.

They were standing above me on a mound of dirt and as I was looking at them I noticed three bright lights in the sky to the north. They looked like very bright stars and formed a small triangle. We all watched them for a while but they didn't move so we went on playing.

Over the next half hour whenever we looked up they were there. Since I remembered my father saying that as a boy in Alert Bay (1920's) he and a friend once watched several unmoving "stars" for a whole afternoon I just assumed that we also were looking at stars.

Yes we knew that it was unusual to see stars in the daylight. The reason I remembered the event was that I was pleased that I'd seen something special that my dad had seen when he was about my age. Since then I've looked for stars in the daytime sky when the air is very clear but have never seen any.

I realize this report is from a long time ago but I am hoping you have records of this from other people. If nothing else I appreciate the opportunity to at last tell someone about the event. Thank-you.

Thank you to the witness for the wonderful report.

If you seen this object, or anything else like it, would you please contact me, Brian Vike at brian_vike@telus.net

Between 1954 and 1958, Tuc-El-Nuit Lake Oliver, British Columbia Canada (Daylight sighting)

This is a bit of an unusual addition to a report you posted earlier [see above].

My older sister submitted the report "Tuc-El-Nuit Lake Oliver, British Columbia 1950s Flying Saucer". She emailed me to take a look at this site, and I read her submission. Now, it gets a bit strange.

This was the very first time I heard about her seeing this event. That in itself is not particularly strange, but I saw something similar, and she did not know of my sighting nor I hers! Reading her report was a bit of a shock, to say the least.

What follows is a description of what I saw sometime between 1954 and 58. I was somewhere between 4 and 8 years old.

It was a bright day with a solid high overcast, and, I believe, in the afternoon. No wind and a warm day.

I was outside by the lake shore, facing south. Something attracted my attention and I looked up high to my left in time to see three objects streak towards the south. They were moving much faster than any ducks flew, and were absolutely silent.

There was no flapping of wings or any body movement whatsoever. They did not appear to be descending, but got smaller as they flew out of sight behind a row of poplar trees about 100m away.

There were three objects, flying in a "V" formation. They looked to me at the time like ducks with no tails and very short stubby wings. They were dark in colour and I saw no markings or distinguishable features.

My age and lack of any other reference led me to assume they were just weird birds. What seemed unusual to me at the time other than the weird shape was the speed and silence of their flight.

They appeared to me as ducks would look if they were flying 10 or 15m above my head. I should have seen details and heard the murmuring that ducks make as they fly.

I told my Mom and Dad about the "ducks". They questioned me, but couldn't really come to any satisfactory conclusions and we just shrugged and moved on.

My sister and I talked about these events for the first time today. Neither of us was aware of the other's sighting. We are not really able to figure out who saw what first, but we are both certain that we did not know of each other's story. We are equally certain that we saw what we saw, and are not "remembering" a story we heard from the other.

FYI. Tuc-el-nuit Lake is, according to Indian legend, the birthplace of Ogopogo. He apparently swam up the Okanagan River to Okanagan Lake. The "Okanagan Arch" is also visible from this area.

Thank you to the witnesses for their reports.

Saucer UFO/Odd Sound Southwest Position Above Strait Of Juan De Fuca Vancouver Island British Columbia

Date:  March 7, 2015
Time:  Approximately 7:30 p.m.

Hello Brian, I just did a Google search for some current information about a sighting we saw this evening, to see if anyone else saw it and reported it and I fell upon your page. Hence, here I am to share what we saw.

As it happened in sequence and detail.

Date and time of our sighting: March 7th, 2015. First sighted at approximately 7:30 p.m., fading from sight at approximately 8:40 p.m.

We live in Langford, British Columbia, but went to Victoria for dinner this evening. As we were driving back (my friend and I) I noticed a 'bigger than a star', but 'smaller than the moon' light high in the sky to the left of us just before we arrived at the cross section of Tillicum Road and the TC highway.

I followed it with my eye until we arrived home. I have a telescope, but I would have had to take it into the street for a good view, so my friend grabbed his binoculars, and we headed to the back yard.

I could see clearly even just with these 'binos' that it was not any star or planet, but a moving (bowl-like on one side, flat on the other) saucer object, flipping around that in one instance the flat side was to the right and instantly then to the left.

On the round side of this object, there were a lot of small white round shapes, like white lights that sparkled as the object revolved. It had gotten a lot closer for a good view since we had come home, but was now slowly descending below the treetops in the view from our back yard.

We shifted our positions and went to the front of the house and partly into the street. Our next door neighbours came out, curious as to what we were looking at.

We showed them and they both agreed it was something different. The lady then asked us if we had heard a train go by earlier. We said that we were out and just got home.

She said because we heard a train go by about an half an hour or three quarters of an hour ago, but we thought it was strange because there is no train running here!

So I thought (and then said) 'hmm, I wonder could it be this object' that flew by and created the sound?' We all pondered that possibility.

It was getting cold by now and the object had moved a bit more, so we went to our computer rooms in the loft for a clearer view.

We quickly took the screen out, poked our heads out the window and (with 'binos' to eyes) there it was in a very clear image, again even closer. It was twirling around much more visibly and then in an instance, it dipped below the trees and out of sight.

End of our sighting! Now I am hearing that a UFO sighting was seen over Edmonton the early morning of this same day!

For starters Brian, I've been a total believer in UFOs for many years. Could elaborate much more on my experiences, but here it's about the 'here and now' sighting of this evening.

However, before I leave I wish to inject here that last summer (late July 2014), in the middle of the night my friend and I both woke to a loud 'scraping like sound' over our rooftop.

We both jumped out of bed and went straight to our windows. We thought something had crashed over the treetops by the house, but there was absolutely nothing to be seen or heard.

It was immediately after that night I heard about a possible UFO hovering over Toronto.

Thank you for reading and also you have permission to publish my 'sighting encounter'.

Regards.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian;

Thank you so much for your prompt reply!

To answer your question re whereabouts this object was spotted (from the perspective of where I live and saw its real shape), I can describe its position this way:

We live just off Happy Valley road, ( - newly developed - area) on 'Braeburn Ave', front of our back yard patio faces directly south, with the right side of it facing to the west.

This object was seen right above the corner of our patio in that southwest position, so my guess is it was hovering above the Strait of Juan De Fuca area, however, very high above the ocean and perhaps further off-land.

But to give a geographical account of its position, definitely I would say with conviction that it was in a 'Southwest' position, in the area of Juan De Fuca straits.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
