UFO Shoot Out Above Okanagan Lake Kelowna British Columbia (An Amazing Case)

 Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Two UFOs Battle In The Skies Over Okanagan Lake (Kelowna) British Columbia

Kelowna, B. C. Two UFOs - More Eyewitness To An Amazing UFO Event !

Also I do have audio recordings from this case with the eyewitnesses and I will post over the next while.

Date: July 2, 2007
Time: Approximately: 10:45 p.m.

Hey Brian, Ok, so like I said I would I've been watching the skies. Not last night, but the night before, I saw something out of this world (no pun intended). It was about 10:45 p.m. at night and I saw two objects in the sky just hovering.

They weren't doing much, but something new with most sightings, they were different shaped objects. One was thin and longish, and the other was like a triangular shape.

They kept hovering there, so I got up quickly to run and grab my camera, but the next thing I know I hear a smallest bang, almost like a gun, and the longish one starts to hurtle towards earth on fire making a deep sound, kind of like a nuclear generator bass kind of sound. I'm thinking to myself what the hell!

I watched the object as it disappeared at low altitude behind a small hill between my neighborhood and the lake. I looked up and I saw the triangular object make a small circle, come a little lower and then I see it start to hurdle towards the sky at a fast rate, and the long one reappears from behind the hill, there was no more fire, and ascending at break neck speed and when it gets a little higher, I saw it literally shoot something at the other object and then a very loud bang and the triangular one was no longer visible.

The long shaped one started to what looked like it was searching the sky. It was going north, then south, then east and west, very quickly, almost like a hummingbird when it goes side to side.

Then the object disappeared and I suppose it's departure broke the sound barrier immediately because I heard that sonic boom when the barrier is broken.

Anyways, like I said. This seems ludicrous, and after my many years of watching the skies, I finally saw what seemed like two E.T.s duking it out.

The thing I find interesting about this sighting though, is that the objects were not glowing eerily like most UFO sightings refer to.

It makes the sighting almost that much more "real" if you know what I mean.

Below: One of the witnesses did up a graphic of what this unusual UFO event appeared to look like. 


Another witnesses report below:

Westbank British Columbia Two UFOs - One Hits The Lake.

Date: July 2, 2007

Time: Approximately: 11:00 p.m.

Brian Vike's Note: This is a very interesting report, and since reports have been coming from the entire area I was wondering if other people who may have been witness to the objects, and sound would you please file a report on the event to Brian Vike at brian_vike@telus.net

Message: I don't know what happened last night, but It was the most frightening, incredible, and down right terrifying thing I have ever seen!

I was walking my dog along the Beach in Westbank, B.C. and minding my own business at close to 11:00 p.m. on the 2nd of July (yesterday) when I seen this really, really, really big bright thingy that looked something like a, well, I don't know, but it didn't fit the usual description of a UFO round type of object.

 Below a map of Okanagan Lake and the Kelowna, British Columbia area.

It looked somewhat like a torpedo or something with wings, kind of like a fighter jet, screaming across the sky and downwards on fire.

It crashed into the lake and there was a big splash, almost like a large, large plane. The sound was incredibly, loud and like a deep bass "womp, womp, womp" sound as it came down.

I ducked for cover thinking of a meteor or asteroid or something. I started to freak out and yell and as I was standing up, something came literally shooting back out of the water and I saw it start to hurtle towards a different looking object very high in the sky, which kind of looked like a cone of some sort.

I saw what looked like what you would see in a star wars movie for the bullets from the blaster. It was coming from the object that just was in the lake, and I heard a loud bang that knocked me off my feet.

I looked up to see what the heck was going on and the cone shaped object was gone and the torpedo thing was just hovering. Moving from side to side looking almost confused and then a loud sonic boom and it was gone.

People came running out to me as I screamed loudly and people asked me what happened. What was I going to say, I just saw two UFOs? Not likely. What the heck could have this been?

Mission In Kelowna, British Columbia Another Witness To Strange Object And Loud Sound

Date: July 2, 2007
Time: Approximately: 11:00 p.m.

Brian Vike's Note: By the sounds of things this is another eyewitness for the sighting that took place in and around the Kelowna, B.C. area on the same night. Object seen and a loud sound noted. Also if anyone has any information on this sighting, please do contact Brian Vike at brian_vike@telus.net


Message: My name is (removed by Brian Vike). I saw something that almost seems like a dream. Last night at about 11:00 p.m. I was watching TV at home (I live in the Mission in Kelowna) and I just happened to catch a bright light through my window.

I didn't think much of it because our neighbors car always shines the lights in our house because of the make up of the drive-way.

I continued to watch TV and I heard an extremely loud bang that scared the hell out of me. I ran to the window and looked around and I happened to catch a glimpse something in the sky hovering and moving side to side. Then I heard another really loud boom and it was gone. I wonder if anyone else has reported this?

Kelowna, British Columbia Cylinder Shaped Craft Entirely Lit Up

Date: July 2, 2007
Time: Approximately: 11:00 p.m.

Hello Mr. Vike. My name is (full name removed). I live on (removed) Rd. Kelowna. On Monday night I was sitting on my front steps talking to my friend on the phone and saw something strange in the sky as well.

This also may confirm the stories that my friend read in Fridays paper. Please feel free to call me at my home so we can discuss this in better detail. Thank you for your time.

Brian Vike telephoned the witness on July 10, 2007 to see what other information I might be able to gather.

The witness told me she had arrived home from a friends place and noticed another friend had left a message for her to call. The lady took her telephone outside as she was returning the call, plus having a cigarette.

As the two friends talked on the phone the witness noticed a long cylinder shaped light. Her first thoughts were that she was just seeing an airplane as she is close to where the flights fly directly overhead, but the woman went on to say, the object was a little odd looking as it wasn't exactly on the normal flight path. 

The entire craft was fully lit up. After approximately 3 or 4 minutes of viewing time it was gone, the witness said it was like someone turned off the light switch. (we are not sure if the craft moved quickly away from it's location, or with the lights out and due to the darkness the object just wasn't visible).

The object was stationary and not a sound was heard coming from it. It also wasn't sitting at a high altitude, lower than a small Cessna would fly at. Rather low she mentioned and there were also no flashing or blinking lights on it at all.

The lady mentioned to her friend on the telephone that possibly she may have just been witness to a UFO sighting. Both kidded around about what was seen and talked for a while longer then hung up.

On July 6, 2007 the witness gets a phone call from the same friend informing her about an newspaper article on UFO sightings that was reported in the local Kelowna newspaper. (Kelowna Capital News). This is when the lady decided to write an email to me asking if I would telephone her.

Large Round Craft Hovers For An Hour Over Okanagan Lake (Kelowna) British Columbia

Brian Vike's - The Vike Factor: A lady must have called the Kelowna Capital News to request my phone number as the witness called me up and explained what it was she witnessed over Okanagan Lake. The lady said she saw the same UFO twice over a weeks time period.

Date: July 2, 2007
Time: 2:00 a.m.

The first sighting of the craft was on Monday June 25, 2007 and again on the evening everyone else witnessed the unusual UFO event, which would have been July 2, 2007.

The witness said she was awake and got up at 2:00 a.m. and watched the craft for approximately one hour. The object was hovering, she said it did not move from it's position over top of the lake.

There were a string of lights that went around the bottom part of the object and as she watched, the bottom lights would fade out and lights at the top of the craft came on, still appearing to circle the object.

Also the top portion of the craft seemed to be lit up. The woman also stated that beams of light would shoot out from the top of the UFO and also from the bottom. Finally after roughly the hour had passed by, the craft shot up quickly and was gone and out of sight.

She reports that not a sound was heard coming from it. The lady lives on lake frontage and had an amazing view of the event. The object was low and again stationary over the water. (not touching the water at anytime)

The witness said it appeared to be looking for something, or that is the impression she got from observing the event.

Thank you to all the eyewitnesses for their reports.

Below is an newspaper article the Kelowna Capital Newspaper ran on this UFO event.

Vike Researches Okanagan UFO 'Shootout'

By Jennifer Smith Staff Reporter Kelownacapnews.com

Did you see an unidentified flying object touch down on Okanagan Lake Monday evening? Well, apparently at least three of your neighbors did and they all managed to track down preeminent B.C. UFO researcher Brian Vike to report the phenomenon.

Late Monday evening Vike started receiving reports of an unidentifiable fireball hovering over the lake. "Everything seemed to look good and usually you can tell if it's a hoax or not," said Vike, who was furiously contacting local media for help by Tuesday morning.

Kelowna has been a hot spot for Vike who operates a UFO research organization, The Vike Factor, out of his home in Houston, B.C. Back in 2003 two women reported an incredible alien encounter on a Kelowna street and it wound up among Vike's biggest cases.

The sighting was featured in a CTV special and even wound up on the Montel Williams show as fodder for a famous psychic. So, when three sightings were reported on the same night this week out of Kelowna, Vike figured it was worth some attention.

The first sighting was by a woman walking her dog in Westbank who noticed a fireball that appeared to dive into the lake and then return to the air. "This thing ended up coming back out of the water and started to hurl toward a different looking object very high in the sky, which is totally bizarre," said Vike.

An excerpt from the email she sent the UFO researcher shows just how upsetting the episode was for the pet owner.

"OK, I don't know what happened last night but it was the most frightening, incredible, and down right terrifying thing I have ever seen," she wrote. "I ducked for cover thinking of a meteor or asteroid or something. I started to freak out and yell and as I was standing up, something came literally shooting back out of the water and I saw it start to hurtle towards a different looking object very high in the sky."

The sighting reportedly occurred at 11 p.m. Vike does not give out the names of those who make reports to protect their privacy but he does go to great lengths to verify their claims.

Earlier this months he was featured on Castanet and is still going through the material he received after the story hit their web site and he is working on several reports he received on Father's Day from Trail, B.C.

Apparently an airborne craft shook residents from their beds in the Kootenay town, prompting a hunt for UFOs on local radio and even in the newspapers, he said. But this week's incident in Kelowna has him unusually excited.

"They saw what appeared to be a Star Wars movie full of bullets and blasters, kind of thing and I've had reports from other areas similar to what they're talking about," he said.

A second report from the Mission area noted the image was accompanied by a sonic boom and yet another report has come in since then.

Local RCMP did not receive any unusual calls Monday night, to the best of the media spokesperson's knowledge. And nothing usual appeared on Navigation Canada's radar. The air traffic control tower at Kelowna International Airport closed just shortly before the sightings occurred.

"I checked with the area control center. Now they only have radar for planes' transponders and so if it was a UFO it didn't have a transponder on. So no, we have no reports of any unusual aircraft in the area," said Ron Singer, Navigation Canada communications.

From this point forward, Vike will be combing his sources, checking with military contacts, police and beyond to see what he can dig out. If anyone can tell him what was going on in Kelowna's skies Monday night, he can be reached at brian_vike@telus.net.

If anyone has witnessed the UFOs/Objects, please send me an email (brian_vike@telus.net) 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.

Thank you to the eyewitnesses for their excellent reporting. Also thank you to the media for helping out in finding others to this amazing case.

Amazing UFO Hovers Above The Mountainside Bridge River Lillooet British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Some of the sighting reports I will be posting are cases from past years. I found this report as well as others fascinating, also the person, in this case, Sourdough Sue Ward was such a delight and very interesting to speak to in a telephone conversation. This like other cases are buried in my Canada UFO Blog so I figured I would post some of my favorites.

 Winter of 1966,

Time 9:00 p.m.

Dear Brian, In 1966, finding myself alone, except for the family cat, Caboodle, after the family breakup and ultimate divorce, I traveled up the Fraser River Canyon to the small village of Lillooet, two hundred road miles north of Vancouver.

My former C.O. from my Army days, (name deleted), lived in a mobile home and worked with (name deleted) on her Bridge River-Lillooet News. I joined them, and having spent a month living over The News Office with (name deleted), I learned I could rent a dandy suite overlooking the Fraser River Canyon.

The sliding doors opened onto a wide sun deck. The P.G.E. rails were just beyond the fence at the end of the lot. When the 110 car freights rumbled by I was face to face with the engineers. I used to try to list the many boxcars, the rolling stock of railroads from all over North America in those pre computer days.

At nights no lights shone from the few homes scattered on the bench land below, on the other side of the tracks. The highway connecting Lillooet with the outside world was on the far side of the river. Came the darkness, the valley was pitch black except for the odd set of headlights of cars traveling into town. There was no road on the mountainside which loomed up on the town side of the canyon.

One winter Friday night my friend had walked over for a visit. The folks in the adjoining suite had the TV on for the Dean Martin Show which aired at 9:00 p.m. My friend relaxed in an easy chair from which she could see out through the sliding doors. I sat opposite on the chesterfield, too far back to share her view. As we chatted, she suddenly, turned her head, and, staring out through the glass door, exclaimed in a sharp voice, "What's that ?"

I jumped up quickly to share her excitement and immediately saw a huge red swirling ball with flaring red orange flaming edges coming towards us from above the west side mountain.

Grabbing the glass door catch I shouted "let's get out onto the deck," which we did. As we stood side by side, we watched the whirling fire ball hurdle towards us, so fast that we both ducked down, putting our hands on our heads as we truly expected to be hit as it crashed upon us. But, as we crouched and watched, the thing hovered "just above the mountainside" so to speak, spinning and flaring, to right, to left, to right again, for a few seconds.

It hesitated on the final jerk to the right, then in erratic short jumps, still spinning and flaring, it began to recede, grow smaller, to nothing, back into the sky from whence it had come.

We returned to the room, quite shaken up, and my friend snapped, "Exactly what did we see ?"

I put into words much as I have in this account, using my extended arm to describe the movement. "Exactly !" she snapped.

Being Friday night with everything closed for the weekend, we had no way of finding out if anyone else had shared the sight. The news was being printed, not in Lillooet, but in Fort St. John at Ma'sson Dan's newspaper shop, so nothing was "of the moment"

By the time the weekend was over and folks were back on the job, we felt rather foolish in speaking of our UFO encounter. Had we not rushed to the sun deck, causing us to be physically involved, had we just focused and seen it with our sight, we may well have pondered if we had seen it at all.

I recall when I saw the movie "Strange Encounters" some years back I thought the UFO props were not nearly as exciting as what we had shared on that Friday night in Lillooet, B.C.

It is now August 20, 2000 and in Houston Newspaper, Wednesday 9 August 2000 one Brian Vike is asking for news of any sightings "past or present" and as my friend passed on at 83, years ago, and I am now living in (location deleted) on the shore of (location deleted) at age 87, I decided to pass on our joint experience of that special Friday night in Lillooet. My friend would truly approve !

My many thanks and warm wishes to Sourdough Sue Ward and her friend.

Sue's colorful name comes from her adventures in Dawson City, Yukon.

Low Hovering Orange/Red UFO Over Trinity School Port Hope Ontario

 Date:  May 2017

Time:  From 1:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m.

I saw this very big orange/reddish light in the sky last night hovering over Trinity school in Port Hope, Ontario. Definitely to big to be a drone, not a helicopter or plane and it was emitting a lot of light.

It was there from 1:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m. and would disappear every 2 to 5 minutes. During that time small blinking objects would fly and hover in different directions at very different speeds. Then return and to form another large reddish, orange light.

The thing that really bothers me is that it was very low to the ground. I would say that it was only about 10-20 feet over the peeks of Trinity School. When together these lights would reappear slightly move to the left or right. At 4:00 a.m. the small blinking lights all headed towards Lake Ontario and vanished.

I was really spooked. I woke my husband and showed him and video taped as best as I could. It was very weird. Nothing I can explain!

Thank you to the witness for their interesting report.

3 Orange Colored Lights In The Sky Over Salmon Arm British Columbia

Date:  January 2014

Time:  Evening.

I can't get it out of my head, I saw 3 orange lights, here in Salmon Arm, British Columbia.

It was a couple weeks ago and they were just hovering and in a row, in the night sky.

I was looking out the windshield trying to see better. I decided to pull over to get out and look because it was so bizarre, and they had disappeared. I could tell they weren't airplanes or helicopters.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

4 Orange Colored Lights In The Night Sky Over Albany Oregon

Date:  October of 2014

Time:  Approximately 7:00 p.m.

I lived in Albany Oregon in October of 2014. At about 7:00 p.m. I left my house to go to work. It was already getting dark because of the time of year.

I got in my car to turn around to head out our driveway and saw 3 large orange orbs moving right up the area of my house. I immediately got out of the car to watch them.

I was amazed at what I was seeing. Two of the orbs were in a straight line on the left one above the other. The third orb was in a straight line to the right of the bottom orb on the left.

The color was almost a burnt orange with no other colors or lights visible. There was not sound coming from them at all. Their progression was slow and deliberate keeping the exact formation.

They reached almost over and past my house just a little and stopped. I was stunned at what I was seeing and just quickly looked around the neighborhood to see if anybody else was out watching this. As I looked over my shoulder I saw a fourth orb coming from the same direction as the 3, but maybe twice as fast.

It came to where the three were waiting and took the place directly across from the top left orb as a square. After that they once again were moving off in the direction past my house.

By the time I was able to get to the main road I could barely see them moving away and in the same formation. What a awesome experience I will never forget. Man made ? Not likely. Thanks for the chance to send you this account of what I witnessed.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Dim Light Making Circles In The Cloud North Of Regina Saskatchewan

Date:  October 2, 2020

Time:  Approximately 5:00 a.m.

Hi Brian, I saw exactly the same thing this morning around 5:00 a.m. to the south of Regina SK, it has lasted for about ½ of an hour since I have spotted it.

Further to my previous e-mail, it was not south of Regina, Saskatchewan it was actually north from Regina, I saw it in the angle of about 45 degree and looked to me like it was making nearly perfect circle.

Thank you to the witness for their interesting report.

 Hello Brian, I understand that you keep a track on UFO's over Oakville.

 I believe that I saw 4 UFO's over my area (Trafalgar and Upper Middle Rd) yesterday October 13, at approximately 8:30 p.m.

They were bright orange in colour. No sound came from them.

They were definitely not aircraft or helicopters.

Has anybody else reported this to you ?

I would be very interested in knowing what it was. If you need further information please email me.

Yours truly.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Boomerang UFO 1997 Over Pilot Butte Saskatchewan Canada (Excellent Diagram)

 Date:  1997

Time:  Evening (After Dark)

I was seventeen at the time travelling west bound on Highway #1 with a good friend (Danny) and his mother (Shelly) whom was driving. We had left Balgonie Greenall High School from which Danny and I either had basketball practice or a game, I can’t recall.

It was dark outside when we left the school gym and walked out the front doors to the car. Danny of course sat in the front with his mother and I had the whole backseat to myself. So I took up the middle of the back seat and put the lap belt on and laid my head back.

Shelly’s car had a steep sloped back window, possibly a hatch back style car. So when I laid my head back staring straight up through that sloped back window I scanned the stars as we left Balgonie.

After about a 1/2mile west past Pilot Butte I turned my head to the right and this V shaped object appears in the sky out of nowhere as if it was cloaked also heading west. Then these six round lights illuminated, three on each wing. The lights that illuminated were not bright. A nice soft illumination.

The V shaped object I’d have to say was about 100’-150’ feet wide from wing tip to wing tip and gliding at a altitude of 500’-700’ feet. The object wasn’t travelling super fast, but faster than 100kmh.

I watched it turn northwest and cloak out of sight. The short time I watched this object I never said to Shelly or Danny “Hey did you guys see that” only because it was a quick 10-15 second visual. I was in awe or shock, then it was gone.

Another friend of mine just the other day asked me if I’ve ever heard of the Pilot Butte Boomerang. I said, “no I haven’t, what’s it about”. He says a huge boomerang shape UFO that was sighted above Pilot Butte. My eyes got huge. Before he could tell me any other details of the story he read online I told him mine. So that’s how I found this site to post my story and what I seen that night.

Thank you to the witness for their interesting report.
