That’s No UFO . . . It’s A Space Station

A UFO investigator says there is a perfectly logical explanation for a set of strange lights being reported in the night sky in Central Alberta.

A handful of people from the area, including one person from Blackfalds, have contacted him after seeing a bright light moving across the southern sky. Adding to the intrigue, a dimmer light was seen following it for awhile, as if attached, and then suddenly darting away.

No worries, says Brian Vike, a self-taught UFO researcher from Houston, B.C., and creator of the web blog, The Vike Factor, Into the Paranormal.

Conditions have been perfect for watching the International Space Station and, from time to time, the space flights that deliver its supplies. That is most likely the dimmer light that was seen following the space station and then seeming to dart away, Vike said on Tuesday.

People living close to Red Deer can see the space station for themselves on Thursday.

The station will appear lightly over the west-southwest horizon at 10:35 p.m. But make sure you’ve got a good angle on the horizon and don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

Information posted on the NASA’s Skywatch website has it up for only three minutes, reaching a maximum height of 27 degrees.

Depending on where you’re watching from in relation to the space station’s orbit, it can be directly overhead on some nights, said Vike.

Internet users interested in finding out when the space station will be visible can go online to spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html for an interactive menu based on the country and city in which they are located.

Vike also noted a separate investigation recently after receiving numerous reports, dating back to New Year’s Eve, of bright orange lights in the sky.

“Think about it. They’re on days like July 1,” says Vike.

He has determined that the lights are actually Thai or Chinese lanterns, alternately called UFO balloons.

Commonly lit during the same special occasions that call for fireworks, the devices work much like a hot-air balloon, with a candle lit inside a globe.

The unit rises as the air in the globe warms up. From a distance, it’s quite bright and could be difficult to identify, said Vike.

UFO Shoots Back Into Space Over Edinburg Texas

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1991

Time:  9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Orb.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My friend and I were out in my parents driveway talking and I noticed a bright light/orb moving a bit, then completely stationary above her head in the distance.

I told her to look at what I was witnessing, it was so bright and there was no noise or sound. We both fixed our eyes on it both puzzled at it’s brightness and were trying to figure out what type of aircraft it could be.

It appeared to shine it’s light in our direction brightly, then in less than a second it turned it’s light away from us and jetted straight up into what we feel confident in saying back into space.

I don't know what it could have been, but I have never forgotten and have never seen anything like it again. I am a nurse and my friend is a physics teacher. This was not a plane, as adults we have discussed it before and still are confident it was not a plane or other human aircraft.

The way it moved was not human engineered, crazy I know, but true.

There is a small airport next to this area, but I can guarantee I have seen many planes, jets, weather balloons, crop dusters, helicopters, satellites and this was not any one of those.

This was confident and precise, advanced and spooky to move as fast as it did. Our government has to let us know what they know, if they know anything.

We would not be able to compete with this technology. I know how this sounds, but it happened. Thank you for allowing me to share.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Dream - Found Myself And Husband In Their Space Ship (Letter And Diagram)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

December 26, 1993

Norm and I are walking, talking, it’s a dark clear night. We are walking along the road our house is on in Sutton. We are just about to Stewarts’s house, when I look up and see a huge craft hovering over the trees, it moves, tilts and it’s very low.

It moves out of sight, it comes back, then gone and then back again.

I wonder if it has seen us. When it disappears I beg it to come back, I am very exited.

It lands, a gorgeous girl comes to meet us, she has lovely skin, high cheek bones.

There are others there, some crew, some humans. They seem numb, like zombies. There is a gang plank, like a narrow trough, with white tubes, or pipes or pipes laying in it.

One of the crew, a handsome lad is standing holding one of the tubes. I wonder how I will manage the plank, when suddenly I am sort of drawn up it and am standing in the ship.

The other humans are frightened , Norm too, but no one is saying anything. We sit on a double seat thing that seems to be floating and away we go.

Next thing we are having a tour of the ship, there are male and female crew members working. We are walking in a narrow passage way, with rooms off both sides that are very colorful and bright.

One calls to me, a name, not Mary, says she is “glad to see me again”.

Norm and I are at the end of the line, I turn and he is not there. I start back to find him, then I see him coming around a corner.

He has something in his hand, he looks very old, someone calls him my “father”, they are helping him walk.

They say they will be back. I run back to the girl and hug her and say, “I love you”.

When I get back to my car, I am anxious to see what they left me, I found a book in the trunk with writing on it.

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?

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.

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.

Mississauga, Ontario Bright UFOs Rise Up Into Space

Posted: June 9, 2008

Date: June 8, 2008
Time: 11:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Mississauga, ON.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round shaped bright lights.

Full Description of event/sighting: June 8, 2008 at 11:15pm or so. My brother and I were sitting outside on the patio just talking and we were looking up at the night sky. Both of us saw two very bright lights, both the same size, flying together, too close to be planes, but too high up to make out what they looked like. They did not have airplane lights. All we saw were two very bright moving objects (lights) that met up with a third (light) object that might have been a star and as soon as they met the third object, the two bright objects began to rise so fast that we watched them disappear into space until there were no lights left. It's almost like they hovered for a second and then took off straight up in super speed and disappeared from the atmosphere. The other third object remained, but my brother said it was moving slowly, I couldn't tell.

We realized that we had just witnessed a UFO, whether it be military or an ET, I dunno, but I think it was military probably.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
