The Castle Project: Denver’s Haunted Mansion

Did Someone Say Halloween?

Coming to DVD and Digital Platforms (VOD) on October 1, 2013

Los Angeles, CA (September 25, 2013) – Would you buy a  haunted house if it came on the market? Despite a colorful history involving tales of Satanism, mysterious deaths, eerie noises and ghostly sightings, architect Brian Higgins and business partner Travis McAfoos were compelled to purchase the 19th century Croke-Patterson mansion in Denver, Colorado. The Castle Project: Colorado’s Haunted Mansion is their odyssey into the paranormal as they renovate the stately brick mansion into a bed & breakfast. The documentary film will be available on DVD and VOD platforms on October 1, 2013, just in time for Halloween!

The building’s most notable haunting activity occurred during the 1970’s when the dwelling was undergoing renovations to convert it into office space, which some believed to have disturbed the spirits. After completing work, the construction crews would return the following day to find their work from the day before, undone.  After several instances, the contractor purchased a pair of Doberman Pinschers as guard dogs.  Soon after, the workers arrived to find the dogs lying dead on the sidewalk after jumping from a closed third floor window.

It wasn’t long into the more modern renovations that architect Higgins’ crew started to notice some odd occurrences and he picked up a camera, resulting in his directorial debut. “Once I had read all the stories on the Internet of the Croke-Patterson Mansion, I realized that somebody needed to make a movie about this.  It seems like every past owner I came in contact with had a story to tell.  Could there possibly be any truth to these stories?” says director Brian Higgins.

At the outset, Higgins set up a camera doubtful of discovering anything. After the discovery of a dead, mutilated cat followed by workers who claimed to have seen of ghostly apparitions, he moves into one of the upstairs bedroom, by his lonesome while the camera records.  Soon, bats are appearing from nowhere and he hears whispering voices through the halls.  And then there’s an unexplained fire.  Is the house really haunted?

Architectural clues and artifacts found within the walls and foundations allude to a very “otherworldly” blueprint and soon the paranormal investigators and spiritual experts are brought in to investigate.

 Synopsis:

The historic Croke-Patterson Mansion in Denver, Colorado was long-rumored to be haunted by the cries of babies buried in the basement. The original owner built the Chateauesque-style home in 1891 and lived there for six months before falling victim to the Silver Crash of 1893. Ill fortune visited upon subsequent owners during the 120-year‐long history of the house as they experienced otherworldly phenomena that included apparitions, whispering voices, peculiar odors, failed exorcisms and guard dogs jumping through windows to their death.

When architect Brian Higgins and partners purchase the home for renovation, they are skeptical of the home’s tragic past. But soon workers begin to experience sightings of ghostly children, unusual temperature changes and whispering voices. Workers fall ill and one team member dies while an unexplained fire threatens the project’s completion. Paranormal investigators are brought in and they identify several generations of spirits who remain trapped in the house.

Higgins had the foresight to begin filming, and after several hair‐raising nights spent alone in the building he began to wonder if there was a reason why souls never checked out at the Croke‐Patterson Mansion.

UFO Sighting Over Nat Bailey Stadium In Vancouver British Columbia Canada (Video Footage/Hoax)

The internet is running wild over a alleged sighting of a UFO seen at Nat Bailey Stadium In Vancouver British Columbia Canada. Video footage and still pictures were taken of the craft. Turns out it was nothing more than a hoax. The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is trying to attract attention to the new and improved centre.

So a marketing scheme this turned out to be.

No real UFO flying that day in the area, just a model craft which appeared to look exactly like the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.

Watch: ‘UFO sighting’ over Nat Bailey stadium was a sneaky marketing trick - http://globalnews.ca/news/831782/watch-ufo-sighting-over-nat-bailey-stadium-was-a-hoax-staged-by-the-h-r-macmillan-space-centre/

Saucer Shaped UFO Hovering 150 Feet From The Ground At Yorkton Saskatchewan

(From Brian Vike’s UFO Files) Posted by Brian Vike.

Date:  Summer of 1962
Time:  2:00 a.m.

Brian Vike Note: If someone happened to see this back in the Summer of 1962 in or around that area, would you let me know please as I will forward the information along to the fellow who sent the report into me.

Brian, Ok, I'll give it to you in a nutshell. The sighting happened at 2:00 a.m. on a clear night in the Summer of 1962 (I was 15).

The 3 of us were parked on the edge of town talking about nothing after cruising around Yorkton, Saskatchewan. None of us drank or did drugs in those days (a lot of guys we knew, did ).

The driver was 16, the other friend was 14. We were sitting in his 57 dodge 4 door (big front windshield) when we noticed an object hovering real high above and a tad to the front/left of us.

All of a sudden it came straight down to a height I estimate would be 150 feet (300 feet away from us on the angle we were watching it, a bit ahead and to the left of straight ahead of us).

No noise was heard at any point during this sighting. It hovered motionless for a approximately a minute, then left horizontally in a speed that was in a instant. All we saw was the blurry fuzz of the Alien Space Craft to determine the direction it went.

The craft was not glowing, but it had 4 dull glowing lights at the bottom. We were scared all the while we watched it. After it left, we reported it to the RCMP in Yorkton in person, which was about 2 miles from where we were parked, and they laughed at us.

Here is a depiction of the Alien Space Craft we saw and the angle we watched it at.

Thanks for your reply! PS, you can use this report any way you want just in case you want to send it to somebody else. I don't mind.

John Tosti Story - Alien Contact In Bloomington Indiana (Video Clips/Pictures/Audio)

A message to John’s Mother, I am sure you will read the report and view the clips on your son. A while back we were emailing back and forth, and I have no idea what happened to your emails, mainly you email address. If you would be kind enough to send me another email this would be great, you can send it to me, at sighting@telus.net. I have something I need to discuss with you.

Thank you and look forward in hearing from you again.

John Christopher Tosti: Born 1-21-70 - Died 3-24-2011 (UFO/Alien Abductee)

I bring sad news this evening, Mr. John Christopher Tosti passed away on March 24, 2011 leaving behind loved ones, friends and folks who cared about John. I myself met John only through emails and our telephone calls we made to one another.

I found John to be an intelligent man who loved his family dearly. John contacted me in hopes of finding some answers, or to tell someone about his ongoing experiences with unidentified flying craft, and his alien abduction, which troubled him for years after the experience.

My regret was not meeting John in person as he and I would have had lots in common, and we would have hit it off straight away.

John leaves behind a wealth of information in a report I wrote up on what had been happening to him and what he and his family were observing. I did have everything posted at an old website I owned and operated, but I did sell the website and now much of the photos and video is not posted. I do have everything here, but it was packed away with all UFO material a couple years ago.

Brian Vike’s Note: It was hard hearing about John’s passing as he was still a young, kind man, but I then was told that about a year later, John’s wife passed away on Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Both John and Susan will be greatly missed by family and friends.

UFO HOAX Drummed up by H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia

This sighting turned out to be nothing more than a HOAX. The sad part about this is, the people who put this hoax together were from the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. 

It is pretty bad when a great place such as the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre pulls something like this to drum up business. When I lived in Vancouver, B.C. I spent much of my time at the H.R. MacMillan Planetarium as it was named many years ago. 

An astronomer I got to know even brought my large telescope in through the Planetarium. So for me, this is rather sad, it isn’t the end of the world of course, just sad to see a place such as this do something so stupid.

They even sent the photo and report directly to me for posting, which I did. But when I later replied to them about this being a hoax after the news brought out the story on it, no one had the decency to reply. That ticked me off.

Time:  Approx: 8:13 p.m.

Hi, my name is (removed). I was wondering if you'd post my UFO sighting on your blog. I recently saw the attached sighting in Deep Cove, while looking at the Deep Cove Kayak Club weather camera.

As I was checking a local weather camera for the Deep Cove Kayak Club, I noticed that there was an object floating off in the distance. It looked relatively large and had a distinct shape to it.

Picture Left: View from the rental store, overlooking Deep Cove. Monday August 26, 2013 at 8:13 p.m

It also had a dim, white glow to it. I've never seen anything like it. By the time the next camera image loaded, the UFO was gone. The shape was too defined for it to be the product of a strange camera flare. It had to be a UFO.

The image is attached. Thank you for taking the time to look it over. Please respond to me to let me know what your thoughts were on this sighting.

UFO Books - By Chris Rutkowski (Ufology Research)

The Big Book of UFOs

Book Description.

Chris Rutkowskis name is synonymous with UFO research the world over, and this book captures his most breathtaking research, along with new and exciting accounts, that will have you questioning "are we alone in the universe?"

The Big Book of UFOs is a compendium of his best and most disturbing UFO stories for enthusiastic fans everywhere, with startling evidence to make even the biggest skeptics believe. The renowned ufologist takes us on a tour of UFOs in Canada and around the world. He has studied UFOs, aliens, abductions, and even encounters reported by kids.

Abductions and Aliens: What's Really Going On

Book Description.

We can't escape them; aliens are everywhere. They sell us soft drinks and star in their own sitcoms. But to the many people who believe they have been abducted aboard strange crafts, aliens are a very serious reality. Stories of these encounters, taken from investigators' files, have been vividly depicted in television specials and motion pictures.

Despite their predominance as a cultural phenomenon, experts offer drastically conflicting opinions: aliens are harmless creatures whose aim is to better understand humans; aliens are angel-like entities here to enhance our spiritual awareness; aliens are conspiring with the government in a plot to enslave humans; and aliens are genetically breeding with humans to create a new race of hybrids.

But, what is really going on? Are aliens abducting thousands of unsuspecting people each year? Are they then inserted with tracking devices and monitored? Based on his own investigative files and almost twenty-five years of research, science writer Chris Rutkowski asks hard questions, looking critically, yet compassionately, at the stories of abductees. He is an astronomer, educator and published commentator within the area of study known as "ufology." Rutowski presents case histories of many abductees, showing both their diversity and similarities, and examines how our understanding is shaped by media, by science, and by society itself.

I Saw It Too!: Real UFO Sightings

Book Description.

Although many adults believe they have had encounters with strange creatures from alien spaceships, not everyone has actually reported their experiences to official investigators.

I Saw It Too! is the first collection of stories told by children, documenting what they saw and when they saw it. These accounts are real cases of UFOs they've seen or alien creatures they've encountered that were reported to government or military officials, UFO investigators, and journalists.

Inside you will find eighteen of these strange, fascinating, and believable tales recounted by young people from around the world with story illustrations by Stacey Archer with Lonigan Gilbert. The truth is really out there, and renowned ufologist Chris Rutkowski has tracked it down!

The 2012 Canadian UFO Survey - Record Breaking Year

The 2012 Canadian UFO Survey an analysis of UFO reports in Canada. Compiled by Geoff Dittman and Chris A. Rutkowski
The 2012 Survey Released May 12, 2013.

Since 1989, UFOlogy Research of Manitoba has solicited sightings data from active Canadian researchers. This data is annually compiled into the "Canadian UFO Survey." The survey is made publicly available in an attempt to promote the dissemination of information across the field of ufology. This page contains many of the surveys, as well as the data.

The "Survey Essay" page contains just that; the essays produced each year summarizing the findings of the survey for that year, along with explanations of trends, as well as describing some of the more interesting cases for each year.

The "Search The Database" link is currently inactive. In the future, the complete database will be put on the web, allowing any users to search the database for sightings based on the criteria of their choosing.

The "Data Tables" page contains the raw data, in html table format, for most of the Survey years. Basic data, such as date, time, number of witnesses, etc. is listed, as well as a very limited general description of each sighting. Right now we have the basic data for most years up on the web page, but are currently missing 1989, 1992, and 2009 on the website. We hope to get that data online sometime in the near future.

The "Charts" page contains assorted charts summarizing the data over the years. One can find such things as the distribution of sightings by province, time of day, etc. The charts are in .gif format.With respect to the charts, there is a trade-off that must be made. If one is to be able to view the results of the different variables being measured, the chart is frequently too large to fit on the monitor, and one has to scroll left or right to view the entire results.

Shrinking the charts to fit the screen, while making the entire chart as a whole visable, makes it difficult to actually interpret the chart, as the labels become too small. I have chosen to forsake convenience and make the charts large enough that one can actually read the results. Given this, the various charts are best viewed with the latest version of Internet Explorer, as it gives you the ability to easily resize the images. Printing the charts using I.E. seems to work well too. With Netscape however, some of the charts don't print on a single page, and either come out on two pages, or it simply cuts off a portion of the chart.

The "Testimonies" page is currently inactive, but will contain eyewitness accounts, in the own words of the witnesses.

If you go to the home of the Canadian UFO Survey, you can find out everything on what the survey is about, and a complete break down/explanation.

Brian Vike Finally Retires From The UFO Topic

Posted:  April 26, 2013

 

I finally have to give up on investigating UFO sightings. As I mentioned to a colleague, I have a great run looking into UFO sightings, met some wonderful people along the way and over the years I received thousands upon thousands of UFO sighting reports, most I would say were explainable, yet others were truly amazing and certainly remain unexplained.

 

There were just a few Ufologists that I would thank for their help over the years.

 

The media, who I would like to thank as well, gosh did they treat me with kindness and took an interest in what I had to say.

 

But anyway, I will leave the blogs up as an archive and will find a new hobby which doesn’t involve sitting at a computer, I just cannot do anymore.

 

Thank you again to everyone and take care.

Y Shaped Unknown Object/UFO Hovers By Large Tree In Richmond/Delta Area Of British Columbia (Pictures And High Quality Video Footage)

Date:  March 17, 2013
Time:  Approx: 11:53 a.m.

Vike Factor Note: An witness was kind enough to send along their video footage and photos with a sighting report over what was seen in their area. I was sent video files, first lower quality, and later high quality. One of the high quality video clips is 17mb, which I have posted here.

The other high quality video clip is over 60 mbs, and is a bit to large to post. In any case, the object can be seen hovering about when close to the tree, moving slightly back and forth if one looks closely.

Please keep in mind, the video and photos belong to the eyewitness.

Below: For larger view of the picture, please click on the photo.

Hi Brian, earlier today at approximately 11:53 a.m. I spotted a Y shaped bright streaky object in the sky over southern part of metro Vancouver (guessing Richmond?)

I noticed a streaky jet-like plane approaching it and I quickly grabbed my camera, but by the time I got it out, the jet-like streak was gone and I captured this video of the object which initially was Y-shaped now just hovering to the right of the tall tree.

Below: For larger view of the picture, please click on the photo.

Moments later as it floated behind the tree and out of sight, a huge murder of crows from northwest began flying in that direction and cawing loudly.

Please see video attached. I also have a 16 second video taken prior to this one, but I figure the object is more visible in this one. If you are interested, I can send you the other one.

Additional Information.

Hi Brian, thank you for your reply. I will send you the other clip as mentioned under separate email.

I've attached zoomed in still photos of the video I previously sent you taken from my iPhone. If you replay the video, please pay attention to the area right of the tall tree in the middle of the screen.

I honestly believe they are appearing a lot more lately to make their disclosure more accepting.

Again, make note of the floating white orb right of the tall tree in the middle. This was quite a distance. I was near queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver and I would guess the orb was floating over Richmond/delta area.

Below: Large file - high quality video clip is 17mb. This is weird, when I received the footage I had to flip it upright as it was sideways. I am posting the correct file which is the upright version, but after all said and done, it's back on it's side. I am not a computer wiz.

Time:  Approx: 9:00 p.m.

About 9:00 p.m. this evening east by southeast of Royston, B.C. and approximately 800 meters from the beach and approximately 250 meters above the water I saw 4 medium bright white lights in a square configuration.

They were approximately 10 meters wide with a red light of varying brilliance moving quick and randomly within the parameter of the square. There was no sound.

I observed for approximately 45 seconds when it seemed to shrink and fade very slightly as if receding, then just disappeared.

Sasquatch Lifts Truck Onto It’s Side North Of The Strathcona Dam Campbell River Vancouver Island British Columbia

I live in Campbell River Vancouver Island British Columbia and have had experiences like that person had. You wouldn’t believe I will not go into the woods alone anymore, not even in my truck.

I had my truck lifted and placed on the passenger side one night while parked waiting for a friend just north of the Strathcona Dam right on the Gold River Highway.

Whatever it was ran right back into the bush where it had come from and screamed exactly like the guys on the “Finding Bigfoot” show. I took off right away and called the police and all I got was laughed at since there was no damage done to my truck.

Vike Factor Note: The person who sent this report to me, could you please send an email to me at sighting@telus.net, thanks a bunch.

Huge Black Metallic Rotating UFO Comes Out Of Orange Ball And Hovers In Front Of Witnesses At Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia

Date:  July 11, 2013

Time:  Approx: 8:00 a.m.

Hi Brian, my name is (name removed), I live in Victoria BC, on July 11, 2013 around 8:00 a.m. I was driving my 3 children to school ages 15, 12 and 9.

We where stopped at a light on Cedar Hill Rd at the Hillside Ave intersection facing south.

It was sunny and not a cloud in the sky, when we all noticed a large orange ball of light appear in the sky, out of the ball of light a large rotating black metallic object appeared and tracked across the horizon and then stopped and hovered in front of us.

The object had three orange lights in the shape of a triangle on the bottom. After hovering for a few seconds the three orange lights expanded into one large orange ball of light and then vanished.

We don't think the object was triangular in shape, but sphere shaped on the bottom and hexagon shape on the top. The object seemed to be at the same height as the float planes that fly over Victoria. We believe it was around the size of a small house.

Amber Coloured Light Spotted In The Sky Flying Over Corner Brook Newfoundland

Date:  March 16, 2013

Time:  Approx: 9:30 p.m.

I just saw a amber light moving northeast over Corner Brook. It was visible for approximately one minute and was very bright then flicked out.

There were no known arrivals for flights in Deer Lake or Gander Airport at the time of the sighting, which was approximately 9:30 p.m. No noise was heard, which was very strange.

I have personally witnessed strange amber lights around the Corner Brook area on 3 occasions and others I know have had similar experiences. 

Good luck on the search.

Orange Lights In The Sky Over Victoria West Vancouver Island British Columbia (Case Solved – Chinese Lanterns)

Date:  March 16, 2013
Time:  Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Vike Factor Note: A witness wrote to me just now and informed me that the orange lights so many people saw were Chinese lanterns. They told me they were released in a ball park in honor of someone’s Birthday.

Hi Brian, I live in Victoria West and last night I saw a large number of floating lights in the sky moving from south to north. The movement was not consistent with what I would expect from Chinese Lanterns, although I do consider that to be a possibility.
Quite a few other people in my neighborhood saw as well, this would have been around 2300hrs.

I looked for event postings of Chinese lantern launches in the Vic West/Esquimalt area and found nothing, have you heard any other reports from last night?

12 To 15 And More Bright Orange Lights In The Sky Over Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia (Case Solved – Chinese Lanterns)

Date:  March 16, 2013

Time:  10:45 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 12 to 15 minimum.
Shape of Objects: Between round and oval.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My room-mate came into the house earlier tonight and told me that something strange was flying overhead in the sky. He was very excited, and he dashed through the kitchen and opened the door to the sundeck and stepped outside. I got up from my computer and followed him outside onto the sundeck and looked up into the night sky.

There was a fleet of flying craft of some kind up there, bright orange in color.

They looked like a squadron of planes flying together as if they were in some kind of air show. They followed each other, but not in a single line, but rather in a staggered formation, flying at the same speed together. But it was 10:45 p.m. on a Saturday night, and there wasn't any occasion calling for an air show. I was amazed. I thought they must be American aircraft of some sort, and I stood there next to my room-mate looking up at them in puzzled wonderment.

They were totally silent as they flew; no sound of engines or jet noises or anything. Totally silent. And they were pretty darn close to us, too. Not way far up there like distant stars or satellites, more like aircraft simply flying overhead. But they were bright orange in color. No flickering lights, no on and off lights; each one was identical to the others; they were each bright orange flying craft of some kind.

They came from the direction of Port Angeles, Washington. They came from the southwest and were flying almost directly overhead of us, here in the Victoria West area of Victoria, BC. They were headed northeast. There were 7 or 8 of them up in the sky that I could see at the same time, but that's not counting the ones that my room-mate had already seen fly over before he came into the house to tell me about it.

As I watched, more kept coming. All together I must have seen between 12 and 15 of them. I'm very skeptical of jumping to the conclusion that they were UFO's from outer space, but honestly, I've never seen aircraft that were bright orange like that. I mean the entire craft was orange; not just an orange light on it somewhere. And totally silent. And such a large squadron of them all at once.

After the last of them had flown over, I went back inside and immediately went online to try to see if anyone else was seeing these things flying over the city. But I couldn't find anything at all. Then I went and turned on the 11 o'clock news, and switched around the different news channels hoping to find something on there about these flying craft in the sky. But nothing. I kept going back outside onto my sundeck to see if there were any more of them, but they were gone. I have no idea what they were, and I wish I knew. Were they military craft of some kind? American or Canadian? Is there any way I can find out what they were, or if anyone else saw them in the sky on Saturday night?

Yellow/Orange Colored Lights Witnessed Over Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia (Case Solved – Chinese Lanterns)

Date:  March 16, 2013

Time:  Approx: 10:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 5-10.
Number of Objects: 4-5
Shape of Objects: Single round lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: As bad as it sounds, we were pre-drinking for a party at a friends house. I had two beers at this point and our group was heading out to head to a house party.

We went outside and one individual in our group "joked" about some UFO's in the sky. I looked up to see four lights in a line, yellow/orange in colour, in the S/E of the sky travelling in an Eastern direction (our location was approximately Selkirk and Arm).

In my head I went through every possible logical explanation first, but the lights were individually moving up and down and at different rates of speed, though keeping a fairly steady line.

To my memory, as this was almost 4 hours ago now, the lights slowly spread apart to create almost a circle, then individually (though almost in pairs?) left in a south-eastern/into the sky direction, up and disappeared from sight. I say in pairs because, two would make the move in a close period of time and disappear, then the other two followed suit.

I tried to film on my cell phone but the footage is garbage at best, and filmed late in the ordeal (about in the formation of the circle?). The whole moment was less than two minutes long from when our group stepped outside, but I wish we had left earlier so I could have see more or later so I would have seen nothing at all.

My mind is racing at the possibilities and I feel like I'm the only one of my friends that is taking this seriously, even though I know they would vouch in a heartbeat.
I hope I'm not the only one that saw this.
Thanks for reading.

UFO Rushes Up Out Of The Water Then Returns At Rimouski Quebec

Date:  July 1977

Time:  Midnight.

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1 then 9.
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi, my name is (name removed) from Montreal. I want to tell you my story regarding seeing UFO. I apologize for my English, I am not very good but you will understand.

I was 18 years old when I saw my first UFO. We were in 1977. Back then with my sister and a friend, we were cycling and we had stopped.

Suddenly, a red ball came under the sea and stop in front of us, got out of the water and we heard swoosh.

It got bigger over top of us, red like a sun, but no light, no warm. It was there looking at us, and it shut off to make a fire trail with the noise, like a fireworks, but it stopped again and lit up like a ball.

It stood up in the air for few seconds and then plunged back into the sea making again the swoosh sound.

It flew away slowly, then faster and disappeared.

The second event was the year after, around midnight, I was with a friend when we saw 9 lights in the sky.

Very far, we thought they were stars, but not at all. They were moving slowly and then moving together, one split and moved again slowly then faster.

They were making patterns in the sky. Then one by one they got a slow speed and got faster then disappeared. It was just amazing. I never thought I would see more UFOs.

I am from a small little town called Rimouski in Quebec.

The sky is always dark and we see very well in the sky.

We report the event to the police, but they thought we were not serious.

I said they were laughing, but deep inside I know they were UFOs. Anyway, this is my story.

If anyone has witnessed the UFO/Object, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Bright White Object Seen Over Mount Boucherie West Kelowna British Columbia

Date:  March 1 or 2, 2013
Time:  Approx: 4:45 p.m.

Hey I saw a bright object in the sky about a week ago in Kelowna, British Columbia over the mountains on the west side. What I saw was a bright glare that got bigger and smaller over a few minutes and eventually it disappeared, not gradually either. I guess there was a bit of media coverage on it as well. Interesting stuff!

Additional Information:

I saw the object on the 1st or 2nd of March around 4:45 p.m. It appeared to be white/bright as sun and it may have been reflecting light off it. At the time I was walking down the water front of east Kelowna and while the object was over Mount Boucherie West Kelowna maybe further in distance.

I had been watching it for a total of 5 minutes before it disappeared. While watching it there was no sign of real direction in which it was traveling. I just saw it get smaller then larger. It was sunny and the sun was setting.

It was definitely lower than a satellite. As for the news coverage, my roommate had told me about something regarding 3 objects around the same time as mine on Castanet. I looked for it and found nothing.

3 Large Low Flying Flat Panel UFOs In Triangular Formation Over Delta British Columbia

Date:  September 2012
Time:  Between 12:00 a.m. – 4:00 a.m.

Hello, this is my unbelievable experience. In September 2012, I was in Delta, British Columbia in the industrial district and it was late night, between 12:00 a.m. – 4:00 a.m. I was outside on the phone with my girlfriend at the time and staring up at the sky. 

All of a sudden what seemed like birds flying in a formation over my head was in fact 3 large flat panel crafts in triangular formation. They flew over me and seemed as if they merged into one as they disappeared over the tree line.

They had no lights, no sound, moved very smoothly and were very stealthy. They were so close that I could see panels on the flat crafts. It was like watching 3 large IPhones with protective cases on. 

Every time I think about it, I question my sanity. I have had 4 other 'distant' UFO experiences, as mainly moving lights in the sky (that I would also be happy to share if you are interested), but nothing this close. I will never forget this experience.

UFOs Sightings Baffle Eyewitnesses In Tottenham Ontario

Date:  Late September/October 1989
Time:  Various times.

Hi, every 5 years or so I check online to see if anyone else had ever seen "unique" things buzzing around the Tottenham area. I read a story with this link posted.
 
Back in late September/October 1989 on a Friday.  I had just built a place in rural Tottenham.   

One night my house lit up like daylight at about 3:00 a.m. I was in bed and the light woke me up. I literally could have read and I tried to figure it out logically, so I looked out the  bedroom window. I'm on 10 acres and I noticed about 200' out toward my front lawn was lit. It made no sense that there was light in my house because there was no horizontal source at all.  

About 15 years later I was dating someone who grew up in the area and I was now living in. She told me that she was driving from Barrie, south on Highway 27 with 3 friends. One of the girls looked out the window on the east side and said, "wow”, the moon is bright. No one cared. It was before dark though. 

A few minutes later she said, the moon looks like its getting lower and none of the girls react. Then one notices the moon is intensely bright white light and  now was low and on the west side of the car. Now they are all paying attention to it. One says that's no moon, it’s a sphere.  

They said it followed them for 40 kms even as they turned onto Concessions. They were very afraid and drove to her parents house and all 4 ran in the house. The odd thing is that she knows it was a Friday in September 1989 because it was her bridal shower and the Concession she drove down was right by my house. 

So there's a high chance it was the same Friday because I was just moved in by mid month. Years later a local guy so casually and matter of fact mentioned playing road hockey 2 miles NW of me when he and 4 friends saw a quiet round thing with red lights spinning off to their right. I asked him how far and high. Being a farm kid he said, oh it was really close and no higher than a grain silo. They got a very good look. They said they weren't really scared, more confused. 
  
A few years later there was this triangular silhouette with red and blue. It was definitely not a strobe. I was in flight school at the time and flying. It was very slow and quiet. I also grew up near the Toronto airport off of runway 23 Left. I'd been to every military airshow for years and even got the US based military Wings TV channel. 

At this point, I admit my curiosity is piqued and I'm looking for the logical. I only told my brother about this. Back then I had never heard of a boomerang/triangle, so I wondered. Unexplained things are supposed to be round. I'm thinking an EMP version of the B2, but much much bigger (2 x and guessing just over 300' across) but close enough I could see no characteristic  angulations on the trailing edges.

I've seen static and flying B2/F117's) and it looked like it was going 50 mph tops, given its size. There were people reporting strange lights west of Bradford (I'm due west) and I even recall hearing about it on radio Q107 Toronto (CILQ FM at that time).

Lastly, in February, late '90s I fell asleep on my couch downstairs in my family room. I have double patio doors (open view) looking onto a forest about 300 feet back. I woke up because there was a bright ball of white light just in the forest.

My first waking thought was, who the heck parked a snowmobile with the high beam on on a work night at 2:30 a.m. I realized exactly where it was and that the brush is so thick you can't even walk a straight line there, let alone drive anything. So, once again very intrigued and looking to make sense of it. I wound up looking at it for an hour.

It was much, much brighter than a snowmobile, it was more like a stadium light with the bottom of it’s brightest point about 5' off the ground. Most of the light was in about a 15 feet diameter. I was initially going to go "shoo" the guy away, but I had no idea why someone would park a light 5 feet off the ground for an hour, so I just decided to observe it  to see if it would move. 

I had to fly to NYC for a meeting so I had to go to bed. A few days later when I returned I casually mentioned to my wife at the time, that if she ever saw anything unusual around here to let me know. I was actually looking for validation, but worded it exactly as above as I wanted a completely unbiased response. So she said okay therefore assuming she saw nothing.

About 2 days later out of the blue she says, what is that bright light I saw in the forest. I said when, it was the same morning. I know she got up at 5:30 a.m. So it was there for at least 3 hours.   

I went out there a few days later and there were large round circles in the snow, but there had also been a slight thaw and I know from a tracker that even a cottontail foot print can distort extensively after a thawing. There were definitely no snowmobile, ATV or tire tracks. Definitely. I wished I was back home earlier to check.  

Feel free to forward this to the guy who drove through here 25 years ago. One logical explanation is that Base Borden isn’t too far, but I would have thought we'd see that technology by now.

But I’m open. There are definitely interesting phenomena that I wish I could get a model number and picture of,  but it’s nice to know other people have similar observations.
