Brian Vike's
Favorite Cases.
From Brian Vike – Canadian UFO
Investigator (The Vike Factor)
Vike Factor Note: The below sighting
reports come from different communities throughout the northwestern part of
British Columbia Canada.
These sighting reports are just tiny
example of what Brian Vike investigated throughout these areas.
----------------
Houston And Telkwa British
Columbia.
Date: July 29, 2002
Time: Approximately: 10:30 p.m. - 10:45
p.m.
In the following report there is mention
of two names out of the 9 witnesses (Only one of these names - Mr. Stewart goes
with the July 29, 2002 sighting, Mrs. Stewart has a separate report).
Mr. Gordon Stewart is his real name, and
the only reason I am placing his name to my report is because the Interior
Newspaper received permission from the witness to print the information,
otherwise I would have left the name out from my report.
Although I had permission to use some of
the other witnesses names, I choose not to place their personal information in my
report, a policy I sticks to.
Location information - Gordon's farm:
(Telkwa, British Columbia Canada)
The witness owns 160 acres of farming
land, treed with Spruce, Aspen and Pine in areas, with a good number of acres
in hay fields. This supports his 57 head of cattle.
The Stewarts's home sits at 3,000 feet in
elevation and over looks the Bulkley Valley and Telkwa mountain range in the
distance. (Photos I took from Gordon's farm will be added to my report and will
be seen on my website at a later date.
Gordon's farm is approximately 6
kilometers off Highway #16. The next largest town is Smithers, British Columbia
which is approximately 15 miles west from Telkwa, British Columbia and has an
airport for the surrounding areas.
I received a telephone call today (July
30, 2002) from a reporter (Nicole Fitzgerald) at the Smithers Interior
Newspaper, Smithers, British Columbia asking if I had received any sighting
reports from any of the residents from the Telkwa, British Columbia area.
I told Nicole nothing had come in so far.
She went on to give me a brief description of what one witness (Gordon Stewart
- a farmer and resident of the Telkwa area) had told her he seen at 10:45 p.m.
on July 29, 2002.
I asked her if it would be ok to get his
contact information, as I wanted to look into the matter and investigate the
report. I received Gordon's contact information.
I telephoned Gordon and set up an
interview with him at 8:00 a.m. on August 1, 2002 at his home in Telkwa,
British Columbia. When I arrived at the gentleman's farm, the first thing I
noticed was the view, from their beautiful home and picture window they had an
uninstructed view of the valley below, and across the valley the Telkwa
Mountain range stood still snow capped.
I knocked on the witnesses door and a tall
well built man greeted me and invited in. We discussed farming as we made out
way through his home to the living room and kitchen area. Before sitting down
for a coffee and discussing what he saw, Gordon took me into the living room
and he sat down in his chair, pointed out the window moving his arm which
indicated the location, and flight path of the object. Gordon mentioned that he
was going to catch a late movie before retiring to bed. He said I never
expected to have such an exciting night.
At this point Gordon's wife joined us
both, and we all sat down at the kitchen table and he gave me a description of
what he saw on July, 29, 2002.
It was exactly 10:45 p.m. on July, 29,
2002 when I was sitting watching a late movie when I saw a huge, round
white/yellowish object in color, traveling at approximately 600 miles per hour
fly at low attitude (approximately 300 meters - altitude) through the Bulkley
Valley below.
From my distance, he said, the object was
approximately the size of a pickup truck, he went on to say the actual size, in
his estimation if he had of been closer to it, it would have been closer to the
size of a school bus.
The object traveled according to the
witness, west to east. There was "no" sound at all, no reaction from
his two dogs which were outside at the time the object passed by. I asked if
there was a tail trailing it, he said no. It was completely round and very
bright.
As I mentioned above, the Stewarts's farm
sits approximately at a elevation of 3,000 feet, and the Telkwa Mountain Range
sits at approximately 3,500 feet. The object was traveling below the top of the
Telkwa range, and below the elevation the Stewart's farm sits.
He also mentioned the object would have
passed directly over top of Round Lake which can been seen 2 to 3 miles in the
distance from the farm.
Gordon did step out onto his patio to look
around, but the object had already departed from his sight.
He came back in and woke his wife (Joanna)
and told her what he just witnessed. She for some reason wasn't really
surprised. (I will explain below - very interesting!).
Gordon made a call to the Smithers,
British Columbia Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) detachment to make a
report of what he just witnessed, also wondering if anyone else had reported
anything close to what he just saw.
A RCMP Constable told him they had not
heard from anyone else. A Constable took the report by way of telephone.
The next day Mr. Stewart telephoned the
Smithers Interior Newspaper and talked with reporter Nicole Fitzgerald who
requested a meeting with Gordon and took the interview. This is where Brian
Vike came into the picture, as Nicole had contacted me.
As I mentioned in the report from Gordon,
his wife Joanna was not all that surprised. After Gordon explained what it was
he just had seen, thinking his wife may not believe him, she spoke up and said
from what you just told me, I seen a similar light two months prior to this
sighting. She did not want to tell her husband because she thought he wouldn't
believe her.
I asked Mrs. Stewart what she had
witnessed, she went on to tell me she was laying in bed a wake with the drapes
closed over when a "really bright white light" lit up the whole room.
Joanna said it frightened her, but still
got up slowly and approached the window carefully. She pulled over the side of
the drapes and looked out to see a large, very bright light. As the object
moved very slowly across their farm, it shone a beam of white light towards the
ground behind their home in a large field.
She started to lose sight of the object,
so she moved from the bedroom to the living room and watched the object fly
slowly across their field, across Boundary Road and onto their neighbors farm
where she finally lost sight of it. She said the object moved completely in
silence and went on to describe the beam of light as if someone held a
flashlight upside down pointing downwards. Joanna said it was as if the sun was
out, but within a circle on the ground.
Brian Vike Investigators Note: I received
a report this year (2002) from a witness south of Burns Lake, British Columbia
where there is a small farming community called Grassy Plains which is across
Francois Lake.
This witness went on to tell me of a
similar object which did exactly the same thing Joanna saw, or described. This
may or may not have anything to do with one another, but both reports would be
in the right time frame.
I sincerely thanked Mr. and Mrs. Stewart
for sharing the story with me, and taking the time to allow me in their home to
discuss what it was they saw.
--------------------
Brian Vike’s Note: Below is a report from yet other witnesses who experienced the
same object, same night Gordon observed what he saw. Also it came to my
attention that the military had been searching the area as well. Also why so
many aircraft were flying over the area, you have to understand these
communities and small and we almost never see much for air traffic after dark.
So why all the aircraft traffic ? - Why
was the military in the area ?
The sighting report Brian Vike received
was taken from witnesses at Quick, British Columbia

Quick, British Columbia.
Date: July 29, 2002
Time: Approximately 10:50 p.m.
Location Information: Quick, British Columbia is a very small
farming community which sits between Houston and Smithers British Columbia. It
is nestled in the Bulkley Valley with mountain ranges running all around.
Today, August 10, 2002 I left my home to
interview the next set of witnesses. The drive was going to take some 40
minutes, so I stopped at the service station and gassed up and left Houston,
British Columbia at 2:00 p.m. heading west for Quick.
I finally arrived and turned off Highway
#16 onto the Quick East Road and drove along until I came to the witnesses
home. I was greeted by both the wife and husband, and met their son a bit
later. We walked along a beautiful stone path which led to a large patio where
we sat to discuss what it was they saw.
The two witnesses who had the sighting
were Mrs. (wife) and her son (deleted) The Mom is a retired school teacher and
her son works as a Civil Engineer. Two very creditable witness, also very
pleasant people.
What I am going to do here is to name Mrs.
or the wife witness number #1 and her son witness number #2. It will help me so
I do not goof myself up.
Witness #1 went inside her home and came
out with a journal she has been keeping for years. She writes down events which
are important to her and this one event that took place on July 29, 2002 was
one she will never forget.
Their farm sits at an elevation of 530
meters and has a wide open view of the Telkwa Mountain Range and Chicken
Mountain which sits slightly lower and in front of the range. The weather
conditions were perfect as the sky was clear.
The sun had already set in the west and
Mom (witness) was going to meet her son who was over near their greenhouse.
She walked up the driveway and turned onto
a small dirt path holding her flash light watching the ground to see where she
was walking. This lead to a wide opening in the field where the greenhouse was
situated. Just as she reached this opening, she heard her son give out a loud
yell.
She immediately looked up and went to
shine her light towards her son when she saw, a huge, bright, glowing
white/yellowish, almost oval in shape object flying across the sky at a very
low level. She said to me, "I couldn't move, I was in shock".
I asked her about the shape of this
object, as everyone else who reported to me said it was round. She said in her
opinion the object was not quite round, but just off, meaning it was
"slightly" oval (even walnut in shape). Or another thing she said, it
would be like if you took a round circle and started to stretch it out.
The color has remained the same from all
witnesses who reported the object. I asked witness #1 for an approximate size
for this bright light. Mom (witness) struggled with this as she did not want to
give any wrong information. Her final conclusion as to the size would be, at
arms length it was the size of her finger nail, but not across, it would have
been length ways.
I asked where exactly it was seen. I
wanted to know if it was below the horizon of the Telkwa Range. I was trying to
get an idea for distance from the witnesses. Again she was not sure. You have
to remember by the time the sighting took place it was already dark, and it is
hard to see landmarks which would help determine exactly where the object would
have been in relation to them and the distant mountains.
I looked around, and since I knew the path
the object took, I thought I would try this. In the direction they lost sight
of this object, there are three sets of trees. One group of large trees sat
behind their greenhouse which sat on a ledge.
Behind this group of trees there is a drop
off, across from here it rises up again in elevation with another grouping of
trees which rose above the set behind the greenhouse. Another grouping of
timber sat higher up again. So I asked when she lost sighting of
"it", what grouping of trees did the object fall behind? She said the
last set for sure.
Now I asked, approximately how high above
the last grouping of trees was the object. Mom (witness) said it was
"just" above the timber, but as they were losing sight of it, the
object would have been just a "hair' below the tops of the trees.
Now this gave me something to work with.
The last stand of timber sits rather high up at a good distance from where they
were standing, approximately 1/2 mile away (maybe more), "but", this
stand of timber is below the horizon of Chicken Mountain. So this object shot down
the valley at approximately 1 1/2 miles away from them. It was also heading in
a southwesterly direction at a quick pace, but slow enough as where the object
took 5 to 6 seconds to cross their line of sight.
Investigator Note: She did not see it right
away, her son noticed it first and gave out a yell. She looked up and spotted
it right away because of the intense brightness and size. My point is, 5 to 6
seconds is a fair bit of time when they had a short space to see the object due
to trees blocking their view.
Being so close to it, I asked what kind of
sound did it make, they both said, none at all. "There was no noise coming
from it". It also was on a slight angle they told me, but very slight.
(This makes me wonder if it did hit the ground, as it was certainly very low at
this point, if so where?
Also this gives a lot of weight to folks
in the area seeing the military vehicles and a lot of air traffic overhead).
Witness #1 said she waited around for a
little while with her son watching the sky just in case something else went by,
but nothing did, so she went into the house and started calling around to
authorities. She called the Smithers Airport who were no help to her, they knew
nothing.
She called the Vancouver International
Airport, they knew nothing. She even call back east to Ottawa and talked with
someone in an environment position, but I am sure they wouldn't know anything
anyway. So in the morning witness #1 called the Smithers Interior newspaper to
inform them of what she saw.
Witness #2 - Son. This is a brief
description in which he gave to me. I am just going to summarize his statement
as a lot of the same information is above in this report. It was very large,
bright and lasted far longer than any meteor shower. Faster than a man-made
object, but slower than a meteorite.
There was "no" sound! It was
below the horizon and moved away from until we lost sight of it behind the
trees. A slight trajectory towards earth.
I spent a little over two hours with this
friendly family and enjoyed this visit very much. What I found really nice
about talking with them, we talked about the large fossil find, as they had a
bunch of wonderful samples spread across a table outside.
Of course I am interested in this as well.
I can say this, our area holds a lot of treasures, and this one is a major find
as the fossils cover a very large area, you can bend down and walk slowly along
and fill a bucket.
Everything is in perfect form. It was like
I was standing at the beach and grabbing perfect calms. There are so many
different types of marine life it isn't funny, so I wonder what other specimens
the land holds. There is a good write up on this in one of the rock hound
magazines.
One more report to come, it is a shorter
version as it was a telephone interview. Then a final wrap up on the whole case
as it sits for now. I know there is more to do on this, so I will be still
making calls, and hoping others come forward if they did indeed see this
object.

Houston, British Columbia,
Canada - Industrial Park Over Bulkley River.
Friday, February 3, 2002,
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Houston, British Columbia,
Canada - Industrial Park Over Bulkley River
Viewing Time: Approximately: 30 seconds.
Weather Condition: Overcast - Light Snow
Flurries
On Sunday, February 3, 2002 another
sighting was reported to me which took place in my home town of Houston,
British Columbia. There were two witnesses (husband and wife).
While this couple were at their residence
which is above their business, the wife heard a loud humming noise coming from
outside. She got up to investigate, looking out a couple of windows before she
noticed a very bright white object hovering above the Bulkley River just north
a few hundred yards from their place of residence.
She called to her husband to come quick
and see it. They both witnessed this large bright white object shooting beams
of light down towards the river hovering at tree top level. This sighting
lasted approximately 30 seconds from the time it was discovered before it shot
up the side of the mountain and disappeared.
I was told the speed of this object was
incredible to say the least. This couple told me they were going to call the
Houston, British Columbia RCMP detachment thinking that the object had crashed
into the side of the mountain, but did not as the object continued it's course
up the mountain and out of sight before they knew what was going on.
Brian Vike’s Investigators
Note: I have visited the area where
this craft was hovering, but have not found any trace evidence of any kind.
Mind you we had about 4 inches of snow late the night of this sighting. I have
also taken photos of this area for my files.
This case is ongoing.

Hovering UFO Over Mount Harry
Davis Houston, British Columbia
July 2001 - A fellow walks into the
Houston Food Mart in Houston, British Columbia telling of an object hovering
approximately 500 feet above a transmitting tower on Mount Harry Davis here in
Houston, British Columbia.
This object was emitting sparks off the
bottom side shooting down towards the transmitting tower. This sighting lasted
when noted approximately 25 seconds before completely disappearing before the
witnesses eyes.
This witness was a hard fellow to track
down, but I did finally catch up to him.
Houston, British Columbia, Canada, January
1999 - Snowmobilers on the Telkwa Mountain Range watched a silver/black disc
shaped object hover in the distance. There was more than one witness to this
sighting.
Many people spend the winter months
snowmobiling in the area due to the amount of snow we receive each year. One of
the favorite places to go is the Telkwa Mountain Range and this is where this
sighting took place.
My wife and I dropped into a local
restaurant for dinner one night, after finishing our meal I went to pay for it
and I was asked about the UFO logo on my jacket, and after explaining what it
was, the owner went on to tell me of a sighting he had with others.
He mentioned that they all watched,
including a couple of tourists this silver/black disc shaped object hover in
the distance. He also said it was hard to make out what this really was due to
the distance away, but he did tell me what ever it was sat and hovered for some
time before vanishing completely.
--------------------
Houston to Smithers, British
Columbia, Canada.
September 2002 - A man driving west
towards Smithers from Houston on Highway16 around Grouse Mountain watched a
white light streak low over the valley below him. He claims the light was white
in color and very bright. The UFO sighting lasted only a few seconds.
--------------------
Houston to Smithers, British
Columbia, Canada.
August 2001 - Husband and his wife watched
a large white light (object) east of Telkwa, British Columbia. Telkwa is
between Smithers and Houston. The object which was reported was of a very large
size and glowing brightly. The UFO encounter lasted approximately 20 seconds
before disappearing rapidly to the north.

Smithers, British Columbia,
Canada.
September 2001 - A woman who runs a cafe
at the (deleted by Brian Vike) mentioned that she witnessed a bright glowing
white object about five months ago which shot across the sky, came to a
complete stop, and then disappeared up and out of sight. She told me she had
not mentioned this before to anyone until now when she talked to me.
--------------------
Smithers, British Columbia,
Canada.
August 2001 - A security officer, person
who checks out (deleted by Brian Vike) told me her friends had witnessed a
multi colored object hovering for a few seconds in the Smithers, British
Columbia area, and shot off very quickly.

5 Witnesses Watch Lights Over Thornhill
Mountain Terrace, British Columbia Canada.
Date:
November 23, 2002
Time:
5:15 p.m.
I had a telephone call from two separate
witnesses who live in the Terrace, British Columbia area explaining that they
just had witnessed some strange lights over Thornhill Mountain in Terrace, B.C.
From Terrace you would be looking east
towards Thornhill Mountain. (Brian Vike’s Note: There were
actually 5 people who watched the lights in total, but I only have talked with
the two who called me on this matter).
The weather condition at the time of the
sighting was good, clear but rather windy. Also in the area where the lights
were noticed there are some large towers close by.
One of the witnesses said the object, or
bright light was approximately double the size of the planet Venus. White in
color. All of the witnesses watched the light for approximately 10 to 15
seconds until it grew smaller in size and disappeared. (Brian Vike’s
Note: I found this rather strange, all of the witnesses mentioned in
all the clear sky there was a large cloud which hung over the mountain where
the lights were spotted.
Seeing if was so stormy (windy) the
witnesses all found it weird that the cloud stayed in it's position and did not
move until all the lights were gone. BTW - In this report I have only mentioned
one light, but it was approximately 15 minutes later after the one light left,
two lights showed up).
Approximately 15 minutes later the
witnesses claimed to see two balls of white light over the same area where the
single light was sitting, it watched this for a few seconds before the lights
blinked out.

Flaming Objects Streaks Falls
From The Sky Over Kitimat, British Columbia.
On Tuesday, March 19, 2002, at 7:35 a.m.,
a Terrace man "was on my way to work in Kitimat," a town 100
kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Prince Rupert, B.C. "when I watched
'something' coming out of the city (Kitimat) with flames behind it."
The witness "described his location
as being near the Kitimat River Bridge, heading towards Kitimat and driving
down the one straight stretch of road which leads away from the river. He saw
the object more or less directly over Kitimat.
He saw "something streaking down with
yellow, blue and red flames behind it, trailing smoke."

Star Like Object Shoots Across
The Sky Then Comes To A Dead Stop Over Terrace, British Columbia
On Monday, March 4, 2002, at 5:30 a.m., a
male body builder was doing his cardio workout before heading for his place of
employment. According to ufologist Brian Vike, as the man "was looking up
towards the sky, when all of a sudden, it seemed like a star shot across the
sky and came a complete stop."
The witness "said that it did a loop
in the sky went straight up and disappeared." He described the UFO as
"a very bright star with a blue-green-red colour to it."
--------------------
Bright Light Moves/Stops And
Leaves And Returns At Vanderhoof British Columbia.
On Thursday or Friday morning, February 28
or March 1, 2002, the witness saw a white and extremely bright light in the
direction of Sinkut Mountain at 5:30 AM from her kitchen window.
Her first thoughts were that it was just a
logging truck. The witness looked through binoculars and saw a pure bright
white light for quite some time. The light would move, then stop, leave and
return. The light would zip around so quickly that it could not have been any
aircraft or logging equipment.
Two witnesses traveling on Langston Road
heading towards Prince George at 5:45 a.m. also saw the white light. Canadian
UFO Investigator Brian Vike determined there was no logging or construction
equipment working the mountain.
Thank you to the
witness for the report.
