Jets In Hot Pursuit Of Strobing Diamond Shaped UFO Near Fresno Airport Fresno California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  June 1969

Time:  10:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Near Fresno Airport, Fresno, CA.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round or Diamond Shaped.

Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, my husband and I sent you our sighting report of 12 white orbs that we saw and photographed over Los Banos, CA on August 28, 2005, which you posted. You have asked for older reports so I am attaching a sighting my girlfriend and I had in 1969 which involved two jets chasing after a UFO spotted near the Fresno, CA Airport.

Clovis CA, June, 1969  It was about 10:00 p.m. on a warm clear evening mid - June of 1969. I had just graduated from High School and my best friend and I were sitting outside my home enjoying the clear dark sky and brilliantly shining stars. On a whim, we decided that we wanted to go to a late-night market in Fresno, about five miles away and buy some magazines to read. We got into my car and began to drive south to a shopping center near the Fresno Airport. 

Along the way we decided to take a short cut on a small road adjacent to the airport which was flanked by an open field. We turned right onto the small two-lane road and were now driving along side the field and which was several hundred feet away from the fenced area near the end of the airport runway, which we could see clearly, including buildings and planes of the local Air National Guard.

There were no street lights and the road was dark with no traffic, except for us. As we drove by we could see that most of the airport activities had stopped for the evening, which was normal, as no aircraft landed or took off from there at that time of night. 'We continued down the road talking, when I noticed my friend leaning forward in the passenger seat staring up at something in the sky. She motioned to me to look out my driver's side window saying "what is that?"

I looked out the window and saw an intense white strobing light hovering above apparently keeping pace with my car. I slowed down and it continued to follow at the same pace. As our windows were down, we most certainly would have heard an engine, was it a plane, but it made no noise at all.  Not knowing what we were seeing, I pulled over, stopped the car and we both got out to take a better look.

We were mesmerized by the intense white light of the object which now appeared diamond shaped and strobing quickly as it hovered above us. It was hard to estimate its altitude and size, but we guessed at arms length it would have been the size of a basketball. By now two other cars had come up behind us and had pulled off the road to look as well. Within moments the object started to move away from us, and began to pick up speed. All of a sudden we heard the roar of jet engines and looked up to see two military jets lifting off the runway in hot pursuit of this object.

The jets passed directly over us - so close that we could see the landing gear retract. We watched as the jets tried to close on the object. We were in a flat area of land and we could clearly see the object and jets streaking away from us heading due west.  As the jets began to close on the object the object slowed and appeared to hover over the jets as if teasing them, and then it made an incredible 90 degree turn with several jerking, zigzag movements and shot off at tremendous speed to the South directly over downtown Fresno. The jets were left in its wake. We immediately jumped back into the car and decided to head home to tell our families what we had just witnessed.

 It was about 10:45 p.m. when we reached the main intersection of town where we were stopped waiting the signal light to change. Suddenly all of the signal lights, and street lights started flashing on and off, including the caution lights at the train tracks which were directly in front of us beyond the intersection. A large bolt of electricity shot down a power line near the road, arcing and snapping till it got to the end and dissipated. We sat there watching these lights flashing on and off around us for about 3 - 4 minutes and then they all stopped and the signal turned green. We looked at each other and I floored it through the intersection and didn't let off the gas till we got to my friends home only a few blocks away.  

When we pulled up to her house, some of the neighbors were all outside talking excitedly about what had just happened with the lights in the neighborhood. Of course they asked us if we saw it and we told them that we had witnessed that - and more. Wanting to confirm what we had seen earlier, we ran inside the house to phone the airport. Incredibly, the call was answered by a man in the control tower. I told him we had observed something in the sky close to the airport less than an hour ago and asked him if two National Guard jets had taken off to check it out. I was told point-blank that no planes had taken off at all that night. I asked him again, if he was sure, and he told me once again that no planes had taken off.

We knew we weren't going to get any further with him and we also knew he had to be lying as we saw the jets with our own eyes and had close enough to read the numbers on the planes. We told our families about what we had seen and received polite, yet insincere statements like "wow that must have been something". But we knew they didn't believe us. There was nothing in the local news the next day about a strange object in the sky or equally strange power surge and nothing was ever said about it again - except between my friend and me. We've recounted that night many times over the years, even up to this day. We know what we saw; we know what happened.

Thank you to the witness for the excellent sighting report.

UFO Shines Light Onto The Ground And Follows Vehicle Near Cherry Valley Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Winter 1973

Time:  1:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Near Cherry Valley, Il.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Could only see light shine onto ground and flight.

Full Description of event/sighting: At the corner of Cherry Valley Rd. and Anne Glidden Rd. I saw a big light shining onto a farm dirt field near the road. I stopped to look at it because I knew no light belonged there.

It looked about 10 feet wide and 80 feet high with what looked like water falling down through the light. I opened the window and all I heard was some slight static. I tried to see what was holding up the light but couldn't see anything, it was to dark.

My girlfriend and I got freaked and we drove off. The light stayed along side of us so I floored it to 100 mph but it stayed with us. When I slowed down it zoomed from our left to our right at tremendous speed while going thousands of feet high.

I have been in the military air forces and never saw anything like that. The next day the newspaper had reports of policemen in Quad Cities seeing the same thing about 20 minutes after our sighting

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Some Of The Best UFO Footage I Have Even Seen !

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

As anyone who is visiting my UFO blog recently knows I have been posting some of my favorite UFO cases I have received over the years. There are many, many of them to get to, but as I was going through my folders pulling out cases I came across a case that I received from back in 2004 from a man who received video footage of a UFO sighting that is nothing short of amazing. When I received the footage back in 2004 I was asked that I “Don’t post the footage!” I never did post it !

So when I ran across the video footage yesterday I was again reminded of it and again blown away. I also had one person check the footage out back in 2004 to see if it might be a CGI or someone’s attempt at screwing around to make a false UFO video. After he analyzed the footage carefully he wrote back to me informing me he believed the video footage was of something rather unusual and not a fake !

So here I sit trying to reach out to the man who sent me the video footage, but my emails to him are not getting through. Maybe they changed their email address, etc.

Here is the little I know, a man sent me the footage which certainly shows an unusual craft, it defiantly is a solid object, silver in color with what appears to look like a light at the top of it, but this maybe reflection off the sun. I am not 100% sure of that. It maneuvers rather weirdly which is really interesting in itself. The video isn’t very long and isn’t fuzzy in anyway. The object is seen clearly !

What makes this interesting, and why I was asked not to post it. The footage comes from a government agency in the United States who monitors government installations by way of video. It was a family member who sent the footage to this man. I guess it caused quite the stir and there were officials all over it. I know I never heard anything more about it, I wish I did.

Anyway, I am not sure what else I can do when it comes in trying to contact this man again. I hope maybe he will read this message and maybe write and we can work something out to get this footage posted.

On a side note, my granddaughter might be taking over my UFO stuff. I said I would help her through everything and be here to help out along the way. I am sticking pretty close to home due to my wife not being well and by adding UFO cases gives me a little something to do.

Thank you to the person for passing along the footage.

Silent Slow Moving Dark Triangular Craft Langford British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  February 1999 ?

Time:  Approximately 1:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: From our backyard in Langford, British Columbia.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Triangle.

Full Description of event/sighting: Sorry to be fuzzy on the exact date, but it was along time ago and after our encounter we came into the house and each drew our rendition of what we saw. I'm in the process of looking for our drawings from that night.

The reason we were out in the yard at that hour was it was supposed to be one of the best nights in decades to see meteor showers. We weren't disappointed and had some long colorful shooting stars fill up the sky as we laid on sleeping bags in our backyard (actually on the driveway for the clearest view).

My husband was getting frustrated because he kept missing the awesome ones I was seeing because he had been looking the other way. This went on a few times until finally he said tell me exactly where you're looking and I'll look there too.

All of a sudden from our far left (east facing direction) we saw a dark shape in the sky. It was a triangle of sorts with a bit of a curve to the shape. Our two drawings did not totally match the outer shape, but the body.

What did match was the fact that there were perfectly round holes going across the body of this thing in rows. The object was black but the holes looked even darker in color, it moved quite slowly straight across the sky and made no noise what-so-ever.

We both exclaimed, "what the heck is that" and watched it go across our sight line and disappear behind the roof of the house. We probably watched it for about 10 seconds and were not able to figure out how high it was or how big it was because there was nothing to compare it too.

If there had been a sound it might have helped us gauge how high up it was. If it was a toy of some kind it still would have made a sound. We were completely blown away and happy that both of us had seen because we knew no one would believe it.

I called our local observatory the following day hoping others had seen it and there was an explanation, but they politely told me to chalk it up to a unique experience.

We've never forgotten this and have never seen anything else unusual in our lives, but reading an article on you in our local paper today and seeing the reference to a triangle object made me want to write and share our story. It would sure be nice to know what this thing was.

Take care and thanks for letting me share.

Thank you to the witness for the excellent 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.

Black Disk Shaped UFO And Red Beams Of Light Kristiansand Norway (Graphic)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Hello I searched the web after I had a sighting and I found your site and came to discover that you had just the same sighting as I just had in this speaking moment 3 hours ago here in Norway.

It was amazing, at first I just saw a huge bright light in the sky right above the tree-line across my road over some other residentials. It was so huge I called for a buddy of mine to come and look, and told him that is not a star, "look at all the other stars how small they are".

So I ran away and got my telescope, and when I it looked up I saw there was two white/bright lights fairly close to each other, but in the middle to my amazement it had a red light beam going downwards in a pattern movement. This was in between the two bright round lights at each side of the disk.

I had it in my sights for maybe 30 - 60 seconds and it started to move! It went first right and behind the tree-line or the top of a big tree so I could see it behind it. It then continued passed the tree-line a while and then I could see that it kind of looked like. Which was a black disk shaped object in the middle of those two bright lights on each side.

It was moving slow and then it turned again and started to go back the same way towards it's original position. It went passed that point and then towards me and my buddy, and almost over us in the sky totally silent, no sound what so ever. We both saw this object up and close in the scope for a fairly long time and also right overhead of us in the sky. It was a great sighting and I just wanted to mail you to see what you might think of it. Was it similar to your sighting or maybe you know of these kind of UFO crafts that I was able to see.

I'm curious to hear what you think about this sighting, speak to you later, bye.

Additional Information:

Hello Brian, I made a BMP file in ms-paint for you, nothing fancy, but I think you will be able to understand how this object looked like, it's attached on the side of this e-mail.

As for the other questions you was wondering about. The sighting was in Kristiansand ,Norway.

The time of the sighting was some place between 21 and 24.

Weather conditions, it was dark and cold and a totally clear sky and you could see all the stars very easily.

When it comes to the size of the object its hard to say, all I can say is that when I used my telescope and zoomed in on it when it was standing still, the two white lights on each side was fairly small. Very similar looking to a star when you zoom in on it. The red light in the middle was about the same size so if this object was that high in the air this means those lights and the object had to be seriously huge.

But on the other hand those white lights could have been very small as well, because when it went over me and was hovering over the tree-line that seemed extremely close again. So that's all I can say, it was totally silent when it went over me but then the object had also become a little bigger I think. At least I remember seeing those two white lights very clearly and apart from each other without the telescope. That's about the best I can explain it all.

My buddy don't have anything against sending you an email with a short explanation of his view of the observation and confirm my story and the he was witnessing the same I have explained to you if you need that.

Thank you to the witness for the great report and excellent graphic.

Disc Shaped UFO Hovers Giving Off Hundreds/Thousands Of Sparks Near Ann Arbor Michigan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 7, 2001 (Approximately)

Time:  Approximately 1:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: I-94 Near Ann Arbor.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Round disc.

Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I were coming home from our cottage/trailer at Andry's Acres in Jackson, Mi., when just east of exit 172 on Eastbound I-94 a craft came right in front of us (about 200 feet away) from behind some trees (south to north) a giant UFO.

It was a round disc, only about 100 feet off ground, extremely recognizable, very clear, and it was probably 100 feet wide, extremely bright lights emitting from around where the windows were (all around it) in the middle.

The top part above the windows section resembled a dome, like a derby hat, and the bottom. Below the middle windows section was larger (the widest part) and was saucer-like. It hovered over the western edge of I-94 at least 5 full minutes, allowing us a spectacular view of it since it was so close to the ground.

It was emitting many thousands, if not millions of sparks, just like they came off a sparkler. These sparks were being powered somehow, because they just didn't fall like regular sparks. Some hovered then flew up and away in many different directions. Some flew with huge force into the ground. Some hovered and they did circles and things (like they were dancing in a way) before flying off towards Detroit and elsewhere. (The UFO, while hovering was wobbling, as seen with other UFO's).

Then the whole UFO flew towards Detroit at a spectacular speed. It was reported on Channel 4 News (WDIV) that night at 6:00 p.m. any many, many other people seen this craft, as we did, because we were all pulled over on the shoulder of I-94 watching this for at least five minutes, probably 7 or 8.

This was probably over Detroit in about 3 seconds from Ann Arbor and it left that fast. This is true, so help me god. They do exist. I still re-live this entire sighting in my mind to keep it fresh all the time. It was simply amazing. We will never forget this.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Numerous Witnesses To Ongoing UFO And Strange Alien Activity At Granisle British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 29 to December 19, 2007

Time:  Everyday between 5:00 p.m. - 3:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Above and around Babine Lake.

Number of witnesses: Depends on which day of observation.

Number of objects: Depends.

Shape of objects: Disc, and slender shaped  flashing objects.

Full Description of event/sighting: Mr. Vike, I am not comfortable telling my name at this particular point in time. There are unbelievably weird things going on here and I wish to obtain a sense of being taken seriously if you will,  before I expose personal information. 

I have lived in this town for almost 15 years, never before have I believed or wanted to believe in "extra terrestrials, or UFOs", but lately, I've seen things, lights in the sky, shadows of abnormal things. I know this is to report UFO sightings but I believe I've seen more then UFOs.

There is another family here in Granisle that have been in contact with you quit a bit. I'm good friends with these folks, they are not lying to you. I've seen lights in the sky everyday towards the eastern side of the lake. At first I was convinced these were logging trucks, but as these lights have continued to appear I have began to realize and tell myself almost exclusively, if that's the right word, logging trucks cannot fly, hover or dart back in forth through the sky at amazing speeds.

I've seen lights almost everyday for 3 weeks, the women that was writing to you about a picture her daughter had taken, she's not lying. You can clearly make out a figure, an abnormal figure. One I believe I've seen before on December 12, 2007. 

I was at home, it was roughly one o'clock a.m. and I was beginning to get ready for bed. I was standing in my kitchen when I caught a glimpse of something in a thicket of trees standing behind my house. Now Mr. Vike before I confess what I saw, I'm asking you, please be understanding and as much as you may not want to believe me, there was something there.

At first I thought it was a child, then I realized the time. No parent in there right mind would let a small child be out this late, no child would want to be out this late. For these reasons I have come to believe I was being observed. Lately I've had odd feeling of being watched, this may seem like BS, but I believe I have a good sense of being able to tell when someone (or in this case, something) is watching me.

As for the lights, I've observed them almost everyday with the family that writes to you. Up until now I have refused to contact you about what I've seen, but these lights aren't normal and I'm afraid. I am only writing to you because I have been urged to do so.

The lights I saw were flashing red and yellow discs. I've observed them through telescope and binoculars. I appreciatively ask you to email me as soon as possible with your analysis, please and thank you. I'll be waiting for your reply.

Thank you to the witness for their report. Seems Granisle, British Columbia is some active UFO area right now for some reason I cannot figure out.

Thank you to all the eyewitnesses who contacted me.

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.

Number of objects: 3

Shape of objects: Little gray aliens with the big eyes.

Full Description of event/sighting: Picture this, I am seven years old and I'm lying in a cot in my cousin's bedroom. His cot is on the other side of the room. It is the middle of the night and very dark and we didn't have a night light.

My cousin  and I were on the third floor of a brown, wooden apartment tenement. The walls were rough hewn chocolate brown wood with no sheet-rock, you could see daylight out through the cracks. Nothing fancy, my uncle had just started working for the fire department.

In the middle of the night, I awakened when I felt pressure on my cot. I looked down at the foot of my cot and one of them was sitting on it. The other two were standing at the foot of the cot looking at me. There was a faint light emanating from them somehow so I could barely discern them. The light eventually brightened. Later, much later, even now, I can still recall the beautiful, vivid electric blue light.

They were tiny, thin, gray; no more than three feet tall. They looked very fragile. However, I didn't have any fear of them. They communicated to me through telepathy. They didn't say much. All I can remember them "saying" to me was do not be frightened and I wasn't.

As I watched, a circle of beautiful, brilliant, and indescribable blue light appeared behind them. I remember one of them going into the light and I knew this was where I was going too. This entire episode lasted about three minutes. I remember falling asleep before they were gone. My cousin  never woke up throughout this entire ordeal.

How can I describe them? Well, you've seen them in stickers, pictures, you know, the typical alien, large heads, black oval eyes too large in proportion to their heads, a slit for a mouth and two small holes for a nose. Their long spindly limbs seemed to be too frail, yet there they were.

When I woke up the next morning, my left pinky finger was aching. I felt it and in the middle segment of the digit I felt what seemed to be a BB of some sort. I knew it wasn't there before. I told my mother about the entire incident, and she beat me severely and would not even consider feeling the 'BB' in my finger. So I suffered in silence for many years.

Since then I have asked my doctor if he'd x-ray my finger and he said not unless there was a reason to. I didn't tell him why, or he'd probably think I was nuts. I've been x-rayed for chest pains repeatedly, and I have always semi-jokingly asked the x-ray tech if they've ever done alien implant x-rays or has anyone ever requested one. They'd always laugh and tell me no, but "We have found a lot of interesting things in rectums!"

My doctor says the 'BB' in my finger is a fatty deposit, but I disagree because I knew it wasn't there the night before I saw them. No one believed me. You are only the third person on this planet that I have related this story to.

I think it is like a tag. I haven't seen them since. And no, this was not a dream. It was the real McCoy. It really, actually happened. How could I have known what they looked like at that age? According to my parents and my uncle, I described them perfectly. They were exactly like the ones you see described by thousands of people worldwide.

This might sound strange, but I have a feeling, just a feeling, mind you, that they have protected me throughout my life. They have caused me to have success. Strange isn't it? I have never been hurt, or in a car wreck, or received a speeding ticket, or been arrested for DUI, nothing. It is very odd.

I think it is very possible that they are monitoring and especially influencing thoughts. When I was a child, after the incident with the aliens, my mother was amazed at the things I would come up with. I would make innocent predictions (remember I was a kid) and they would come true. She was dumbfounded. She said I could predict the future. I think she was afraid of me and that's why she beat me so much and made me sleep at other relative's houses.

Or how about this story?

I had a good friend in Mt. Home Air Force Base in Idaho, his name was (name removed). He decided he wanted to work at the top secret site called 'Area 51' or the Tonopah test site as we knew it. They worked on top secret aircraft. He worked on the F-1117A. To work there however you needed a top secret clearance. They asked me to work there, but I turned it down as I was getting out.

We had a TDY to Nellis Air Force Base, and I was selected to go so I immediately called (name removed) and told him when I'd be there. He told me that would be great and to give him a call when I was at the dorm, and he would pick me up and we'd fly his radio controlled planes. So he did and before we went to the R/C airfield he wanted to stop at the hobby shop for some parts.

Well, he bought what he needed and we were off to the field. We came to a red light, we were in the right lane, and I decided to ask him about aliens. The second I uttered aliens he turned pale, ran the red light, did a U-turn in all that traffic with horns blaring and drove me back to base.

On the way I kept asking, "(name removed), what's the matter?" "What did I say?" But, he would not answer any of my questions, he stayed pale and angry and dropped me off at the dorm and I never saw or heard from him since.

I am not insane and I know what I saw. I am 48 now and can remember it like it was yesterday. I know they exist.

Thank you to the person for the interesting report.

1930s UFO Sighting Left Witnesses In Awe At Confederation Park Burnaby British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  Late 1930s. Time:  Summer afternoon.

Location of Sighting: Confederation Park, Burnaby, B.C.

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of objects: 2

Shape of objects: Round balls of fire.

Full Description of event/sighting: A friend who is in his late 70s told me this story today. He said that when he was 10 or 11 years old, he and two friends (now deceased) were playing in the bush in Confederation Park in Burnaby, that would make it the summer of 1937 or 1938.

He said he and his friends heard a roaring sound and he ran out of the trees to Willingdon Avenue and saw two streaks of smoke in the sky coming from the east parallel to the ground and at a fairly low altitude.

As the smoke trails got closer he saw two round balls of fire at the head of the trails. Suddenly the two fireballs roared like a rocket straight up at a ninety degree angle and disappeared into a clear blue sky.

He said that today he would compare them to jets, but of course there were no jets back then. He still remembers the incident even after the amount of time that has transpired.

Thank you to the person for relating the sighting to me.

Ex Air Force Serviceman Talks About What He Knew About The Clovis New Mexico UFO

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  January 1976

My next door neighbor and I also had some involvement with the Clovis UFO. I also knew Steve Muscato, the photographer who took the original picture for the local newspaper. His photo is of the stationary object that hung directly over Clovis for several days. I believe it occurred over quite a few days. 

There was one stationary light, in addition to other moving objects that many people saw. Plus, there was a photo in the paper of a mystery object found in a field. At the time, I was 14 years old. 

My next door neighbor Bob was an Air Force electronics technician who was an amateur ham radio operator and amateur astronomer. He and I spent a night on the top floor of the Hotel Clovis observing the UFO hanging in the sky. He used some sort of equipment to determine how high in the sky the stationary object was. 

He excitedly reported that in his judgment the object was approximately 300 miles above the Earth. I also took some photos, but I no longer have them. Bob was told to shut up by the base and quit "exciting the locals with wild stories."  Bob didn't tell me about this, but his wife later related the story of the phone call he got from his boss, to my mother. 

I also heard stories of guys coming from "Project Blue Book" to investigate, but my Dad, an Air Force master sergeant, said that was ridiculous because Project Blue Book didn't exist. As an adult, I served a number of years in the Air Force and my job put me in contact with virtually every plane in the U.S. and NATO inventory. Some have claimed that the UFOs were British harrier jets. Absolutely not so. 

I grew up around jets my whole life and could identify them even as a child. Neither were they weather balloons. I would have to research, but I'm not sure the harriers were even operational at that time. In all reality, one has to try very hard in order to mistake a jet fighter for anything else. The whole thing was very interesting, and ended as mysteriously as it started. 

There was no real closure. But if you recall, Clovis was part of a rather massive UFO "scare" that occurred for a few years  nationwide, beginning with the incident at Pasagoula, Miss, I think a couple of years earlier.  It was a busy time for UFO activity.

You can contact me at (private contact information removed) if you like.

Thank you to Jonathan for his report, and also thank you to this gentleman for taking the time to have a long telephone conversation over this event and other things.

Cannon Air Force Base Security Police Watch Numerous UFOs On Different Nights

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

July 1976 at Cannon Air Force Base

The following events occurred 30 years ago. The exacts details have become a little fuzzy, after all I haven't thought about this stuff for 3 decades.

I arrived at Cannon Air Force Base in November of 1975. I remember the night because there was about an inch of snow on the ground and the next morning it was in the 70's. It's true what they say about desert weather. LOL.

I was a member of the 27th SPS (Security Police) and the only event that I can recall  happening during January of 1976 was some talk of a plane crash that was supposed to happen, but everyone had different stories with different facts, so I passed them off as fairy-tales. But early July 1976 is a different story.

I was working Security and we were on rotating shifts, something like 3 days on days then 2 off, 3 days on afternoons and 2 off, then 3 days on nights then 2 off.

Anyways, it was my last day on nights and I was on patrol with another Airman and we were back by the Portales Gate (a remote gate that basic lead to the town of Portales, hence the name) when my partner pointed at something in the sky and asked, "what the hell is that"?

I saw a light in the sky that appeared to be hovering, maybe a couple hundred feet above the ground, just outside the base. We pulled over to the side of the road and observed it for a few minutes. It was blue on top, white in the middle and green on the bottom.

We finally called dispatched and asked them if they could contact Flight Tower to see if they had any planes flying. The response was that they did not have anything in the air. It was about then that our dispatch got a call from the Clovis Police and said that they could see some strange lights over the south side of our base.

They asked if we had anything in the air. The radio then came alive with other reports all saying the same thing, the light were being seen by others. The Flight Tower was contacted and their radar showed nothing in the sky.

We told dispatch how close we were to the light, and soon 2 other patrols were parked along side us watching it. One of them decided to drive towards the light and we kept in contact with them, to direct him, but as we gave directions and he got directly under the light it could not be seen.

Suddenly the light just seemed to vanish, gone in a blink of an eye. It did not fly away, it just disappeared.

The next night I was sleeping and it was approximately 2:00 a.m. when I heard a commotion coming from the hallway of my barracks. I got dressed and followed everyone outside to see what was going on. In the skies above us were approximately 12 lights that made a perfect circle around the base.

Each one was the exact same distance from the other, so I knew that this could not be by accident. I wondered if it could be related to the events I witnessed a few nights before. We watched the lights for about an hour or so and then it was as if someone had turned off the power to them, they went off one at a time in a circular manner.

The next night, I could not fall asleep so I went outside to take a walk around, hoping that would make me tired. As I was walking I found myself looking up at the sky and the next thing I saw was a single light appear, then another and another until all 12 lights had come back on like the night before. I noted the time and it was the exact time as the night before.

I ran back to my barracks, where the entire squad had assembled and several people had movie cameras and were filming the sky. As they did the night before, and at the same time, they went off one at a time, just like they had come on.

I eagerly waited the next night for the lights to appear, but they never returned.

The next month in one of the "men" magazines that were being sold at the time (I think it was (removed) magazine) had interviewed the base commander for an article about the lights. So if you want to read up on this, look for a back issue of (removed) magazine dated August or later of 1976.

Thank you to the witness for the very interesting report.

Humming Blue/Turquoise/Silver Bullet Shaped UFO Over Thorold Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  1964. Time:  7:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 10 plus.

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Bullet shaped, solid craft.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: After dinner, we were playing baseball on public school grounds. I was outfield. I noticed that the batter was on the ground covering his head and screaming, other kids were pointing at the sky behind me.

I turned around and looked up to where they were pointing. I was transfixed, in awe, I was not scared, in fact, very calm, almost serene. The object was bullet shaped at the front and probably 100 feet long, flying at about 30 to 40 miles and hour approximately 100 feet overhead.

It seemed to have a clear trajectory. It gave off a low hum, brilliant silver at the nose, then a blue/turquoise fading to more silver, less bright. I did not see any windows, but did get a sense of a craft or solid shape. It flew directly overhead and towards me and then I had to turn back around as I followed it's path.

Then it suddenly sped up, this is when I could see the rear of the object and it left a brief trail of silver/orange light behind it as it turned abruptly to the east (towards Niagara Falls). It picked up speed almost immediately and disappeared into a dusky sky.

The total viewing time would have been about 2 minutes. I got on my bike and flew home to my parents, breathless (now I was scared and panting from excitement) to find that my father, mother, grandfather and brother also saw it, all of which were in our backyard at the time.

My father (an engineer) called my brother in from the backyard for fear of his safety. He said he did this when he noticed the craft turning and moving away. This event changed my life forever. I have always wondered if there were any other people who actually reported this to the St. Catharines Standard.

We heard later that it was a weather balloon. As a kid of about 12 in grade 8, I had already seen meteors and comets, and we lived in an area close to airports and were accustomed to seeing all kinds of planes and  jets etc. .

I am absolutely certain that I was blessed with a true encounter with a UFO. Since then I have searched the sky's in many places on this earth hoping to see one again.

Large Triangular Shaped UFO Surprises Witnesses Over Simcoe St. Woodstock Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  June 5, 2011. Time:  11:00 p.m.

 Number of witnesses: 2

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My husband and I were looking to the sky because we were watching for a bat that was flying around. I then noticed what I thought to be a satellite. What was so peculiar, was that it was going the wrong direction and was brighter than usual.

I was waiting for it to come out from behind the tree line when this very huge triangular shaped object appeared from above the tree. It was moving very slowly and it was just above the tree. It was triangle in shape, and it had 6 of what looked like petals on the underside. 1 at the point 2 across the middle and 3 along the back.

The colour of the 6 what could have been lights were almost an auburn colour, which looked like they could have been lights on a dimmer switch. I shouted look, look, look. At that point my husband responded I see it.

It then slowly disappeared beyond the house. I ran out front and saw nothing. It had disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: brian_vike@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Thank you to the witnesses for their sighting report.
