On March 21, 2004 the sky lit up with an object shooting across the Canadian nighttime sky. An fireball was witnessed from Alberta into Ontario where this story takes an unusual twist. It appears we all took it for granted that what was seen by many people to be a brilliant fireball which streaked across the sky. Even the pilot of a private jet carrying the Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. Paul Martin witnessed the event and reported the unidentified bright object to air traffic controllers in Edmonton while flying near CFB Suffield.
My question is, were we led to believe it was a fireball and having the story dropped from there ? Well something has caught my attention just recently and I have spoke with a person at great length today which makes me re-think the entire story we were lead to believe. Was it a fireball or an unknown object ?
My first take on this when I heard and read the reports about this event was that is must have been a fireball that traveled across a good part of Canada. Now I am not so sure as to what it was, all I know is that I will be examining this case, along with excellent video footage taken from a location in Ontario. The time frame fits with an object been reported and the fireball incident. So I guess we will see what comes out of this. Of course there is alot more information to come on what I am looking into.
I would like to request that if anyone who saw the fireball/UFO event on March 21, 2004, would you please contact me here at HBCC UFO Research.

Airdire, Alberta Bright Star Like Object
Posted: December 31, 2007
Date: February 22, 2004 Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Hi Brian, My daughters and I saw a very bright star in the sky last night that was to the left of the moon and then proceeded upwards over a period of half an hour or so. I watched it for another hour or so and it finally started to descend. This took place at approximately 7:00 p.m. and lasted until about 9:30 p.m. or so. Here are pictures of what we saw, magnified by the zoom lens.
I sent you five stills from a video I took. We have a few minutes of video of the event and I can download still shots from video.
I live in Airdrie, Alberta and we are in the Mountain time zone. The movement of the object was slow and this thing had to be very far away, as it really just looked like a super bright star. I got the video camera and did a comparison shot showing the size and brightness of the moon to this object. We don't know for sure when it came out, as we were just out on the back deck talking and happened to see it. My daughter thought it was something that she had seen on the previous night and thought it was a satellite. She said that it never moved but just as she said that, it did start to move and not in a straight line. It moved slightly up and right before going straight up.
The video seems to indicate that it is spinning and pulsating.
I would say that it had to be pretty high up in the sky, but that would also make it a very large object. I enlarged the moon by 52% and then did the same for the object. What the larger stills are of is the 52% magnification.
The moon went down first. In the meantime, as the moon descended, this object ascended then upon other timed viewings (I didn't watch it the whole time) it had moved to the right and downward, until it was out of my view.
I have pulled other frames from the video if you need them. This was definitely not a star. It was at least 20x's brighter and it moved erratically and too fast (in comparison to a star) only to stop and be suspended in one spot for at least an hour or so.
Please let me know if you need any other info.
Thank you to the witnesses for their report.

Quebec Amazing Display Of Lights
Posted: December 31, 2007
Date: End of 2004, beginning of 2005 ? Time: Evening
This is the report I read and the way they described it is what I have seen. I really can't remember when it was I know, it was night and that I was towards the end of 2004 or around 2005. I was outside going to the car and I pointed it out to my boyfriend but he made fun of it or shrugged it off. I thought it could be the lights from downtown or something. But we weren't near there. I never thought much about it after that. It's just freaky because the way the lights are described is what I had seen.
I really don't remember exactly where we were. I know we were leaving we went to the parking lot and I noticed it and then when we got into the car and started to drive the lights were moving as well..further away. I know it was night time because it was dark outside, but I can't remember if I was in Laval (Quebec) or in Montreal.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Prince George, British Columbia Lights Two Jumpers With Parachutes (Solved)
Posted: December 31, 2007
This I believe important is because I would like people who read the information below to know that we who investigate UFO sightings are looking for the truth and trying to solve cases that come into us. Know matter what the outcome is. Dozens of witnesses in Prince George, British Columbia observed this event I discuss below. Only a very few actually saw what was causing the lights.
On the evening of February 31, 2004, a large number of Prince George residents were stunned and puzzled over what they were witnessing in the night sky between 8:00 - 10:00 p.m., PST. Some called the Prince George Citizen newspaper to explain what it was they saw, and how peculiar it was. All of the witnesses, by the dozens, observed two extremely bright, orange circular lights in the sky. The lights stayed fairly close together and did not make any sudden moments. Many residents reported the lights just hanging there for a number of minutes before moving ever so slightly. HBCC UFO Research was contacted by the Prince George Citizen enquiring about it, and a staff reporter did an interview for Saturday, February 7, 2004, newspaper.
Over the weekend the telephone did not stop ringing. Many reports of orange lights came in from Prince George residents. Plus other very interesting reports for 2003 and back as far as the 1950s. Some of these reports included beams of lights hitting their vehicles as they travelled along the highway. A huge ball of light hovering over the tree tops not making any sound. A line of red balls of light sitting stationary in the night sky, etc.
After taking the calls and listening to the stories, some of the descriptions started me thinking. More folks contacted me. Some had watched the whole event unfold viewing the lights through binoculars. A retired military man was certainly the key to this case. Plus another lady who also gave a great description of the event.
I made several enquiries to the RCMP but the police had no information about the matter and took no calls from the general public over it.
I typed up a few reports below from the eye witnesses who called in.
Report #1
Report received February 7, 2004 Prince George, British Columbia
Date: January 30, 2004 Time: Between 8:00 & 9:00 p.m.
I had a call from a lady on February 7, 2004 who wanted to file a report on something she and her husband witnessed as they were driving down Tabor from 15th. They looked to the east and saw lights in the sky and thought at first it may have been an airplane. The witnesses mentioned they saw no strobe lights which they knew an aircraft would have. They reported the lights were moving rather slowly. As they drove down the road they passed by the trees which blocked their view of the lights in the sky. After they came to a clear area, they stopped the car and looked to the south and again noticed the lights.
The witnesses told me that when they saw it again, this time it appeared to look like a black balloon, or umbrella shape.
The lady said it looked as if the object would flip over, so the umbrella appearance was at the bottom and then would show up back on top. The lady and husband reported not a sound coming from it and whatever it was dropped downwards. The couple reported the lights as being white in color. The witnesses estimated they observed the event for approx: 5 minutes.
The folks didn't believe the object was very far from their location and said it wasn't that high up when they first saw it. Also they finally lost sight of the lights when they dropped down low enough that homes finally blocked their view. The people estimated the size to be roughly that of a golf ball. One other note, the witnesses said they believed that the lights were moving diagonally as they came closer to the ground.
Thank you to the witnesses for their report.
Report #2
Report received February 7, 2004 Prince George, British Columbia
Date: January 31, 2004 Time: Between 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.
A gentleman called to report seeing the orange lights witnessed over Prince George on January 31, 2004. He and his wife live near 1st & Foothills in Prince George and were planning an evening out when the walked out of their home, which faces towards the downtown area they noticed the two orange colored lights in the night sky. They said the lights were very bright and that is what caught their attention. The witness went on to say he is used to seeing helicopters and fixed winged aircraft flying over all the time, but what he could not understand was the brightness of the lights, also how close the lights were to one another. The couple stood just outside their front door watching the lights for a good three minutes, but due to them having reservations they had to get on their way. The husband wondered if it might be a UFO, his wife said it possibly might be a plane, but both still thought it looked rather odd. He told me he almost dismissed it at that time. But as they drove along 1st Avenue heading towards Tabor and not traveling very far the fellow decide it was time to pull the car over as he said one doesn't get to see anything like this very often or ever.
As they both sat watching, they were able to get a good view of what was taking place. One of the orange lights appeared to be over top of the other or maybe off to a bit of an angle to the left. Another 3 to 4 minutes passed and the bottom light started dropping off towards the left and seemed to flicker a little bit. He thought it may have been going into some of the light clouds that were present that evening, then all of a sudden the light disappeared. The other light was still visible and stayed around the same area in the sky for a little while longer. The witness estimated the last light held it's brilliance for maybe another 30 seconds before it started to flicker. It began to fade and then would become very bright again.
This went on for a very short period of time before it to vanished.
Again it was lightly overcast with a high ceiling. The witness also estimated the objects were roughly a finger length apart if one was to hold out their hand at arms length. The witness stated that the lights did sit stationary for some of the time, before moving. The witnesses reported no sound was heard, and no aircraft were seen in the area. At arm's length, using his thumbnail to guess at an approx: size of the lights, he said each one may have been one fifth of the size of his nail.
Thank you to the witnesses for their report.
Report #3
Report received February 7, 2004 Prince George, British Columbia
Date: January 31, 2004 Time: approx: 9:30 p.m.
Calls kept coming into HBCC UFO Research over the January 31, 2004 sighting in Prince George, B.C.
Below is another report from a fellow who wanted to tell me what he witnessed that evening. The evening was overcast and no stars were visible at the time of the sighting. The man went on to tell me that his daughter spotted it first and then called to the rest of the family to come out and look at the strange lights in the sky which were reported to be just over top of one of the local mountains. He explained that the color of the lights were an orange/white. The witness also said he thought there may have been a small tail behind each of the lights, but it was hard to distinguish for certain. The lights were stationary for a very short time when these folks noticed them and as they watched, the lights did start to move but ever so slightly.
They said there were two very bright lights which looked identical to one another. The man's wife said they looked like landing lights from an aircraft due to how close they were together, and the brightness of them. They all ruled this out quickly as the lights just stayed in the one area of the sky. They observed the lights rise up for a short distance, still staying close to one another. As they watched one of the lights seemed to disappear quickly, but they didn't think it went into the clouds as he noted the cloud ceiling was rather high that night and the lights weren't close to them.
The other remaining light was seen to move back, or away from the families location and it also disappeared. Both lights were extremely bright, and the family said they stayed that way until they finally blinked out, or just vanished.
These folks figured they watched the lights for at least two minutes before they were gone. The man said, how long they were visible before he noticed them is anyone's guess. They also reported no sound and the witnesses said if it had a plane or helicopter you would have certainly have heard it. The folks estimated that the lights were approx: 10 times larger than their thumbnail.
Thank you to the family for their report.
Report #4
Report received February 7, 2004 Prince George, British Columbia
Date: January 31, 2004 Time: approx: 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.
Now this was a very interesting call that I received from a man who resides in Prince George, B.C. When I answered the phone, the fellow said he had just read their local newspaper and that he could tell me exactly what the lights were that everyone saw that evening. Below is the report the gentleman gave to me.
The fellow said he watched the whole event through a pair of field glasses. It was January 31, 2004, between 9:30 - 10:00 p.m. and the man claims "it" landed two blocks from his home. The witness said what he watched was a couple of night jumpers, jumping with parachutes with lights attached around their feet or ankles. The man observed them coming over from the west over the hill. He mentioned that he had a fairly strong set of glasses (binoculars) and was clearly able to see the jumpers hanging in their chutes and saw when they turned their lights off. One of them landed in a park just two blocks away from the witnesses home and the other went towards the Fraser River and the BCR Railway. The gentleman figured the were practicing night jumping.
When the jumpers were first spotted they were rather high up and he and his wife first thought it may have been an airplane. He went on to say the lights were a very bright orange in color, and the reason they were no longer visible was simply because they had turned them off. The fellow, now retired, was in the military himself and had done a lot of jumping and as soon as he spotted the orange lights he thought it looked familiar due to the descent, plus the way the lights were traveling. When he looked through his binoculars he knew exactly what it was he was seeing.
He figured the jumpers used their lights to keep track of each other and to designate where they were going to. Once they started getting closer to the ground they turned off their lights and just used the lights from the city to land. He also said the chutes were beautiful, very modern shaped parachutes and the jumpers with such good gear were able to carry out some of the antics they pulled off that cold evening. It was actually comical as the witness said one of the jumpers almost turned himself upside down and then this would give the impression of the lights going back up into the night sky. The two jumpers were carrying out some acrobatics on their way and obviously no sound was reported.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for their reports.

No UFO - But Two Strange Circular Imprints In The Ground
Posted: December 30, 2007
Location: St-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Quebec, Canada. Witnesses: 3
Date: Spring of 1983
Spring of 1983 - My sister, friend and I were strolling down on a small dirt road next to a small forest and swamp, at my parent’s country house in St-Alphonse de Rodriguez . It was a calm night, and as we arrived at the end of this dirt road, if I wouldn’t have looked down to see where I was walking, no one would have ever seen this thing.
Right beneath us in the middle of the dirt road, was a very strange perfect, circular impression formed in the ground. The impression was approximately 6 feet / 1.83 meter in diameter. All inner and outer rings were roughly 10 inches / 25.4 cm wide, except for the centered outer circle which was approximately 20 inches / 50.8 cm wide. The inner rings were about 2 inches /5.08 cm deep in the ground. There was no burnt grass, or anything particular observed on the ground except this unusual imprint.
I bent down and looked closely at it, and even followed the curved of the rings with my hands, just to get the feeling of this thing. All the circular edges were very smooth and the ground was compact underneath it. That last detail gave me the impression that the object which could have caused this was quite heavy or at least heavier than a car because of some car traces observed in this area which had not left any 2 inches / 5.08 cm deep impression in the ground… Also, these car traces had seemingly passed over the circular trace, without destroying or altering its original shape... The circular trace had seemed to be quite recent.
A second circular imprint was observed a couple of feet away, seemingly caused by the same object. It had exactly all of the same characteristics of the first one, except that the circle’s impression lacked of definition and precision in the ground. Only some parts of the circular impression were visible. The imprint’s depth in the ground was merely 1 inch / 2.54cm. It was as if the object had “slightly” touched the ground.
That night, we all stood there for a while, trying to figure out what these traces were. We thought of some kind of structure which could have been carried to one of the houses, but it was too weird because there was - absolutely no trace of “dragging” on the ground around these two circles. - We search around that night and didn’t find any other traces along the dirt road or anywhere around. I even came back alone the next morning in daylight, walk around the neighborhood to see if there was other similar traces, but never found any or any object/structure which could have caused this.
We talk about this event in the morning without making a big deal about it. We drove back to town, back to school and to the everyday life. I went back in the country a couple of weeks later, and found that the first trace was slowly washing away. At that time, I didn’t know where to go with this story. Like the impression in the ground, this event always stayed engraved in my memory, and I always wished someday to find the right people and the right place to tell it.
Thank you very much to the witness for sending along the interesting report

Calgary And Edmonton UFO
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: December 13th, 2003 Time: Between 11:00 - 12:00 p.m.
Message: Sighting between Calgary and Edmonton December 13th, 2003. Hi there! I know that I'm a little late but just found your page and I'm so happy that someone else saw the same thing that my husband and I saw that night. We were driving home from a trip to Banff and we were almost to Red Deer (I think the time was somewhere between 11:00 and 12:00pm).
We were just chatting when all of a sudden the night sky lit up. It was as bright as day for a couple of seconds. We like to compare it to the Truman show; almost like someone turned the lights on for a minute and then realized that it wasn't day yet. I've never seen anything like it and I will never forget it.
We didn't see any kind of craft but we weren't looking in to the sky until we saw the flash of light. I know that this information probably isn't very helpful but I just wanted to let you know that there are a couple of other people out there who saw this very strange event. I've researched meteorites and I'm quite sure that is not what we saw. I don't know what it was but it gave us a lot to talk about the rest of the way home.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Reddeer, Alberta Another Bright Meteor Lights Up The Sky
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: December 13, 2003 Time: 11:30 p.m.
Hi Brian, I was reading the report of a UFO between Edmonton and Calgary on December 13 2003. I also saw the flash of light on highway 2 heading north, about on 5 minutes past Innisfail, Alberta. I was just going over the hill north of Innisfail at about 11:30 pm and had a great view of the surrounding prairie.
I could clearly see the orange glow from the city of Reddeer, I could see a half moon to the East which was still quite low in the sky, while I was looking at the moon I saw a bright meteor light the sky up ahead of me, it looked like a camera flash had gone off because it lit up the surrounding countryside, I didn't see where the meteor came down, it just winked out, I did see several meteors past Reddeer, but none were as bright, I found out later on that night that it was one the annual Geminid meteors which are at their height on that Saturday Dec 13th.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Outside Of Smithers, B.C. On The Babine Lake Road
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: Late Fall 2003 Time: Evening
A witness was telling be that his friend had been out Bow hunting for Moose along the Babine Lake Road. His friend did shoot at a Moose and the fellow thought he had hit it. The witnesses friend came back home and got his friend and both jumped into the truck and headed back out on the Babine Lake Road to where the Moose would have been.
Now seeing it was after dark when driving back out the witness I talked with said he noticed a couple of bright stars off to his right hand side (east) and another, much brighter and larger which appeared to be alot lower down in the sky. They were thinking that the lower star may just have been a planet at that time. So they continued driving along, of course his friend is excited and talking about possibly getting his Moose, at the same time the his friend is watching this bright object which he thought to be a planet.
He started thinking about the brightness and size believing what he was observing was a little weird. At the time this bright object sat motionless and was a long ways away from the two men in the truck and he figures he had been watching it for approximately 3 minutes now. All of a sudden this bright/large light in the sky from a dead stop just streaked across the night sky in a split second and they both lost sight of it due to the mountain blocking their view.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

North Edmonton Blue White Star-Like Object Makes Hard Right Turn
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: December 2003 Time: Approx: 11:30 pm
At about 11:30 pm I was out in the snow barbecuing while house and dog sitting at my in-laws when I looked up in the sky which was very clear as I could see the beauty of the milky way and thousands of stars. Towards the west I noticed a blue white star moving which I at first thought was a falling star about to enter the atmosphere but than it seemed more like a satellite as it was descending. I have seen satellites before and feel I am quite familiar with the night sky. When I had figured on it been a satellite and not a UFO or a falling star it made a hard turn to its right and seemed to go straight up out of the atmosphere into the deep space.. Total time of sighting: 4-5 seconds.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Frightening UFOs Taped Over Sicamous, British Columbia
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: December 26, 2003 Time: approx: 11:30 p.m. Sightings continue in this area.
Sicamous, British Columbia -- I was wrapping up my year end reports for 2003 when a telephone call came in on December 31, 2003. A lady had gone to the internet in search of a Canadian UFO Investigator so she could file a report on some strange on-going sightings which had been taking place in her area. At one point the objects seen were so frightening to her and the family, that the RCMP was called to the witnesses residence to investigate. The witness did state that she was not going to call this a UFO, meaning something from another world because she really did not firmly believe in this. The lady went on to say that what she and her family have been observing was something they could not explain. Be it military or something else, whatever these objects are, they do some very bizarre things in the sky.
On December 26, 2003 the dispatcher for the Sicamous, British Columbia RCMP detachment took a call from an excited woman who requested the RCMP come to her home and look into the unusual sights that had been taking place over a period of time. Whilst making the report she felt that she wasn't being taken seriously ... and that maybe they thought her to be a little crazy...however, when an hour passed and the RCMP officer arrived in her yard it was a different story. As soon as he saw the object he stood and looked in amazement. He had no idea what it was.
I was told that the officer left the families home and drove towards the mountain where the object was sitting to get a closer and better look. (HBCC UFO Note: So far, I have left two messages with the Sicamous RCMP detachment to have the constable call me back using my toll free number and as of yet he has not returned my call. I am not giving up on him, and I will keep trying until I get a hold of him even if it means becoming a pest).
"An important part to this case is that excellent video footage has been shot by the family".
As the tape is rolling you can hear the children in the background commenting on how quickly the object was moving all over the sky. It appears to be moving rather quickly, zig zagging, etc.. I asked the witness about how she was holding the camera, knowing that any slight movement while video taping can make "something" appear to move. In the footage it shows the object moving erratically around the sky. The other members of her family who stood watching this event unfold saw the very same thing with the naked eye..... something flying all around the sky.
The witness said these objects (plural as there are more than one at different times) ..... were also seen by her husband whilst he was up in the mountains which is around their area. He described one of the objects as being as big as a house and covered in lights. At the time, he was waiting for his daughter and her cousin to return with the snowmobile. He watched the object with his naked eye and estimated it to be approximately a mile away from his location.
He was so excited and frightened at what he saw whilst he waited... that he immediately drove back home, ran into the house and told his wife of his adventure. She thought he had been drinking as he was acting strange and obviously was very scared. Knowing they had to go back out to that location where the object was seen because they had to pick up the kids, the gentleman said he was not going back out there alone ! The husband's sighting took place before December 26, 2003, and what the family caught on tape on December 26, 2003 was the same object. It had returned.
They also saw the object through their binoculars and described it as being in the shape of an acorn or a diamond.
It was an extraordinary sighting because not only did the object shine brightly and move around erratically ... but at one point when it was stationary ... it shot out a large red fireball, then six bright orange lights appeared in the sky around it. Each of the orange lights had another two white lights on them. These white lights shot a beam of light towards the ground. Approximately half an hour later four more of the large acorn/diamond shaped objects showed up and sat either stationary or moved around the sky. The witnesses said the objects appeared to have hundreds of lights on each of them.
These folks have recently moved into this home, but the previous owners said they used to watch in the daylight hours ... on many occasions silver disk shaped objects flying over and around the mountains behind the house.
This case is under investigation and this is only raw data at present. Video tape is currently being examined.
A foot note to this. The lady who reported the sighting and who rang the RCMP told me that when the constable arrived and saw the object .. he commented to her that he knew of nothing that moved that quickly ... nor of anything that could stop like it did on a dime.
This story proved interesting enough that the television station (CHBC TV out of Kelowna, British Columbia) sent a news crew to interview the family and to get a copy of the footage. CHBC TV is a part of the Global TV network which is one of Canada's giants in the media business. The story ended up airing not just on that station, but aired all over British Columbia on Global BCTV. They ran the story at least three times as a part of their news. Once at 6:00 p.m. Friday night, again at 11:00 p.m. and again on the Saturday morning news. As I was the investigator on the case they also called me a number of times and interviewed me about the story. The news gave this story a good length of time to play out on TV which was really great to see.
Something else of interest prior to these sightings but in the same area was when an RCMP officer who was out on his usual rounds in his patrol car ... noticed an object in the sky and was instantly hit with a beam of light from it. After his shift was over and upon his return to his detachment he informed his co-workers of what he had seen. They thought he was seeing things. Now perhaps they have a different interpretation of the event.
On a separate note, sightings are still coming in.
Reports from Nova Scotia back from the 1970s, Vernon, Kelowna, Kitimat, Terrace, Comox, British Columbia and from Alberta etc.. Plus other reports from aound the world.

Vernon, British Columbia Strange UFO Sightings Continue In Vernon
Posted: December 30, 2007
Report Received: February 1, 2007
Date: December 2003 - February 2004
Hi Brian, This was the winter when Venus was bright in the sky, and setting before the sun in an incandescing orange and white. I reported it to Brian, but the UFO fever had overtaken me and I would not believe that Venus could do so many things. It took quite a while before I realized the error of my ways. However, while I was riveted on Venus, I was also sighting other things.
I had entered the UFO time zone, which is to say, I was very focused on Venus's movements and forgot to eat, bundled up for the cold to stay outside on the balcony, and bruised my eyes with the binoculars. The nights were cold winter and dark, the sightings were usually over by eight at night. I did this for several weeks. This is when the orbs had begun to fly over Vernon, low over the airport and vicinity. I had also noticed many small aircraft flying up and down the lake heading to Kelowna, coming back, turning around and heading back to Kelowna.
One night an orb, rose over the hill from the lake, moving into town. It stopped mid air. Then the orb morphed into an orange ball, morphed back into a light orb, and then back to the orange ball and then two headlights appeared, I could not see anything other than these two headlights and a red light above and to the left of the headlights. This was very exciting! The headlights hovered there for a few moments, then turned in the direction of the lake, and flew that way. It was not like a plane flying, I noticed that this vehicle just glided and no noise.
Now the orbs had my full attention. So I bundled up warmer and stayed on the balcony for longer times. One night, I watched Venus set around six, and as it set, a moving shadow flowed down the hill from the exact spot that Venus had vacated. For some reason I could see the shape of this shadow, sort of like a Sting ray fish shape. The vehicle coasted down, over the lake, over the houses and into the valley to the left of the airport, or south in direction.
I began to sleep during the days now, as my full attention was on the sky and what was unfolding. From my post on the balcony, I now recognized what was actually flying up and down the lake, racing each other. There were about four that I could count for sure. One night, on the balcony waiting for something to show itself, my attention was drawn up and to my left. What I saw was a huge shadow, then people sitting in windows coasting by like a train in the dark, only this was a triple decker train and flying under three hundred feet. It coasted over head very slowly, went up to the Army Camp and down into the valley. While I was trying to rationalize this,(couldn't) two headlights appeared over the hill out of the valley. The headlights shone on me, they did not blind me like car headlights, there was no glare, only light. What I noticed was the headlights spanned a sixty foot house that it was flying over and the wings covered two blocks. It was about eighty feet over the neighborhood.
It suddenly, dropped its right wing, pivoted a 180 and coasted back to the valley behind. In the lights from the streets and houses, I could definitely make out the shape of this air ship. The body was black and no light reflected off the body. The body is shaped like an arrow, with the tip cut off. The body was smooth, and again the Sting ray fish shape and smoothness comes to mind. It made no sound. The headlights themselves appeared to be over twenty feet high and were placed on each side of the flat front before the wings. I had alot to reflect on. This was a serious upheaval in my reality, Venus had lost its appeal.
After that, I saw the small craft once in a while and things were quiet, with the light orbs coming around and close. This sighting was upstaged later by the same huge vehicle. It was a night when the small planes pilots were getting their night time license and there were a few in the air around six thirty pm a January night.
From the lake rose a ship that I described as lit up like a Christmas tree with golden lights. These were the three decks of windows from the front to the back. Because the body does not reflect light, it appeared that just strings of golden yellow lights were rising.
The ship rose less than a thousand feet and slowly floated over the airport. The upper lights could no longer be seen from the ground, but three huge flat white lights came on under the ship. Each oval light was forty feet in length, ( or something like that, I was beyond excitement ) The small ships also were gathering around this ship, as it moved again toward the Army Camp where I lost sight of the whole parade heading south. For a couple of weeks, I sighted a few more orbs, and one ship during the evening light and then things stopped. It did take me some time to integrate this, planes and cars held no interest for me anymore after seeing and experiencing these events.
It was around the summer when I began to dream of being in the small ships with others slumped over in their seats, and feeling lucky to be half conscious to be able to remember. The flight went straight up and came straight down, I braced my feet against the wall ahead of me coming down, and I was belted in for safety. But this is for another report. Take care Brian.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Report Received: February 1, 2007
Date: December 2003 - February 2004
Hi Brian, This was the winter when Venus was bright in the sky, and setting before the sun in an incandescing orange and white. I reported it to Brian, but the UFO fever had overtaken me and I would not believe that Venus could do so many things. It took quite a while before I realized the error of my ways. However, while I was riveted on Venus, I was also sighting other things.

About 30 Kms South East Of Edmonton, Alberta Disc Shaped Craft
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: October, 2003 Time: Approx 8:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 2 Shape of objects: Disc shaped.
Full Description of event/sighting: I went outside to fill the bird feeder. Just one of my many bird feeders which is located just south of the house and I went out the back door and made a beeline straight for it. I checked it, saw it was half-full, and then turned to my right (which would be facing west). Hovering about 1/4 a kilometer away was a disc with lights below right between two trees. As I found out later no one else could see it due to its position. I live on the edge of a golf course on an acreage near pasture/farmland. I live directly east of Nisku and the Edmonton Int'l airport.
The disc I would estimate to be about as large as my house. Which is a small bungalow of about 1,000 sq. ft. It just hovered there, absolutely motionless and completely silent. I ran in, grabbed my 8 X 30 binoculars and observed it while calling out to my brother (who lived with me at the time) to get out here. it was about 20 minutes of it just staying absolutely motionless. Then, a little disc, about 1/3 the size came in from the SW at a near lightning speed and just stayed beside the larger comrade for about 10 of those minutes like something of a recon mission was taking place and then zipped back towards the SW out of sight. I think after that the disc left soon (it was hard to keep track of the time) thereafter and very slowly headed straight north into the tree-line. I got in my van and tried to intercept it (because of how slow it was moving) because it was going to go over the highway near me going by its flight path. I got into intercept range within a couple minutes and the thing just disappeared. Meaning it never came out of the tree-line of the golf course. I scanned the horizon, everywhere. Nothing.
I asked neighbors after, nobody saw anything. The disc was in a heavily wooded area right alongside Highway 21, which is a very busy road. Nothing was seen.
By sheer chance I saw these two things and they disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared. I could have walked right up to it in less than 5 minutes if I wasn't stunned by looking at it through the binoculars. I have no photos since I am not a photographer and didn't want to leave anyway.
I know what I saw, it was not a helicopter, plane, flock of geese, weather balloon, whatever. I was real and tangible. It had revolving lights underneath and it kind of looked like it had port windows on the upper part. It was the classic disc shaped object.
There it is!
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Toronto, Ontario Low Flying Black Craft
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: September 2003 Time: Approx: 12:30 p.m.
Hi Brian, I would like to confirm the recent sighting report, over Toronto,Ontario on August 19, 2005.The lawyer, gentleman's description of the craft, fits like a glove that I had witnessed. Although my date is different, on a Sunday in September 2003, at about 12:30 pm. The amazing news on all this is also, that I found it strikingly similar, there were no reports of this sighting witnessed on TV, radio, local newspapers or even local ufologists. This object stood out like a sore thumb, it was very noticeable of size and color.
On that day in Toronto, after attending St. George Church. I viewed that very same described, very large, low flying black craft about 2-3 miles west, over western Toronto. The best description I could give, was the craft was "Manta shaped" and very large and black. The altitude would be 2-3000 ft high. Two things to note about the date of August 19, 2005. First, that it was a full moon date. Second, Toronto and the surrounding area, had experienced a major severe storm, later that day, at between 4:00 pm -6:00 pm. Last recorded storm of that magnitude, was in 1953, Hurricane Hazel. So now I ask?
Was this sighting connected to this severe storm Toronto experienced? I really just wanted the witness to know, that he is" not" alone of this type of sighting. The only difference is, my sighting happen two years earlier. As well as a head shaker, that no other reports came from any other sources. So friend, your not alone on this, I believe you what you had witnessed. I can see the excitement and the frustrations that must be going through your mind. Keep your head up, not down. Take care Brian, as you know the drawing of this craft (shapes and dates) has been posted earlier, in late July 2005. Same object.
This eyewitness is referring to the recent sighting over Toronto, Ontario.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

New Hazelton, British Columbia Bright Light Makes Turn
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: September/October 2002 ? Time: Approx: 11:55 p.m.
Received Report - March 10, 2003 Telephone interview.
I had a phone call from a very nice lady who told me that her, and her husband were up late. She said her husband was in the washroom and she was in the bedroom looking out the window and noticed a light coming towards their home. The light at the time was a long ways in the distance and the witness thought it may have been an airplane with landing lights on it. The light was up rather high in the night's sky, but she felt it just looked rather strange.
So she yelled to her husband to come quickly to have a look. Before her husband got into the bedroom the light seemed to turn rather quickly and shrunk in size. Although her husband did not see it, he commented to her that he didn't think it would be an airplane. She darn near forgot about it, then one day started to think about it once again about it. She told me that it turned rather quickly to the north and as she watched it, it shrunk from a fairly large bright white light to a small speck of white light and disappeared quickly.
HBCC UFO Note: I am not sure what the witness saw at the time, it possibly could have been a normal aircraft, but when I asked her when the light changed directions, did it turn sharply. She said it pretty much did.
Thank you to the witness for her report.

Burnaby, B. C. Ball Of White Light Maneuvering In The Clouds
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: August 30, 2003 Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.
Dear Mr. Vike, My name is (removed) and I live in Burnaby on the south slope facing the pacific. It was August 30th 2003 at about 9:30 p.m. and my husband and I were barbecuing on our back patio. It was a beautiful summer night. Not a cloud in the sky, except for some which were high in the sky and over the ocean, I'd say southwest. Actually, we would have thought nothing of the clouds but then we noticed there was a small ball of white light moving around in the clouds. It was moving every which way it felt. But it never left the cloud cover.
We both believe in UFOs, etc. but we were both trying to logically explain what we were seeing to each other. Like, is it a beam of light coming from Richmond or from the PNE, like a giant spotlight? No, because there was no beam of light coming from the ground. We kept on trying to figure it out as an earthly explanation.
But neither of us at the time said anything to each other that it may be a UFO. Anyways, we went inside to eat, not really thinking anything of it. We actually forgot about it. We went back outside about an hour later to look at the stars, etc. Then we noticed it was still there, in the exact same location in the sky. By now we were both thinking "UFO"! This time we watched it very carefully and notice that it would fade out of one area of the cloud and before the fade was gone it was already in the different area of the cloud. Like it was moving so fast and the light was slower than the object. We never actually saw any craft, just the ball of light moving around. We watched it for about 1/2 hour. Then next thing we knew, it had just disappeared at about 11:30 p.m.. The clouds we still there but the light was gone. Then all of a sudden, right above our heads, it seemed to be right over our house but super far in the sky we saw about 8 - 10 separate white streaks of lights, milliseconds apart traveling every which way. Then we freaked! Ever since then, every time I go on my patio at night, I think of the amazing spectacle we saw that night. I hope this helps you with your research.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Aylmer, Quebec Possible Diamond Shaped Craft
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: August 2003 Time: 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Diamond shape ?
Full Description of event/sighting: Object was totally dark. The only way I could notice something was there, was by the way it would block out the stars behind it as it moved across the sky, the shape may have been diamond shape. The object was about the size of my thumb at arms length, was moving slowly but surely straight across the sky from NW to SE time to pass was about 4 minutes. No sound and no lights.
Would like to know if any one else has seen this kind of object.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Airdrie, Alberta A White Light Crosses The Highway
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: August 18, 2003 (approx:) Time: approx: 2:30 p.m.
I fellow called to report he witnessed something very strange when he was driving up Deerfoot heading towards Airdrie. He watched a small ball of white light cross the highway in the distance a head of him, and it turned in his direction. The witness said he was doing approametly 30 kilometers an hour and observed the light getting closer. All of a sudden the object stopped, still a ways away from him and there it had changed from a light into a craft of some type. He made a guess as to what the altitude of the object might have been at. The witness told me it may have been traveling at approx: 1000 feet. He went on to explain when one sees a normal aircraft coming in for a landing at an airport.
He added that before the object changed from a ball of light into a strange craft, he noted that it started glistening and shinning brightly and then this is when it started taking on some kind of form of an unusual object. He reported no sound being heard, mind you he was in his vehicle at the time. I also asked if he might be able to determine the size of it, he said when it was in the distance it could have been approx: the size of his small fingers, fingernail. But when it headed in his direction and got very close, his words were it was huge.
The object did come to a complete stop as the man passed close by. It sat stationary as he drove some 2 kilomenters doing around 20 kil an hour. Finally other drivers started honking their horns to get his attention to have him speed up. The man said the reason why he was driving so slow was due to him looking over his shoulder and out the back window watching it. Finally due to his location from the object he lost sighting of it.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Vancouver - Burnaby, B.C. 25 Witnesses Observed A Black Oval Shaped Object
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: Summer 2003 Time: 3:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 25 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Oval
Full Description of event/sighting: We were driving west in the afternoon into Vancouver on the #1 freeway. And in a clear sky overhead and to the south was a black object in the oval shape of a rugby ball! It was not moving and stayed exactly where it was as we approached. It seemed to be about 2000 feet above the ground near our Central Park and about the size of a 747.
Many people pulled off the highway to look at it, including 2 policemen. It did not move at all and was not a balloon or kite.
In retrospect, the oval shape could have been a circle shape as viewed from an angle. It seemed like the opening of a round pipe.
We rushed home expecting to hear breaking news but nothing was said about it. I can see the area from my apartment and looked with binoculars after getting home but saw nothing and wondered if my angle of view now was parallel with the shape so it would be a straight line if in fact it was a flat opening of some kind like a disk? I would love to hear what it could have been.
Additional Information:
Brian, thanks for your reply. Please be clear about the included picture; that I used Photoshop to duplicate as close as I could to show what I saw. My wife saw it as well, and it seemed like it was in the area west of Central Park, south of Kingsway. And could have been about 1000 to 2000 feet up.
Our viewing angle was from the #1 freeway. We noticed it somewhere east of Willingdon Ave. interchange. It never appeared to be hovering, or moving at all or affected by wind or anything. It was definitely NOT a balloon or kite. Just solidly stationary in the sky. As if it was a flat plane of black disk, not even an edge to it. Nor did there appear to be any structure or shape to it other than the solid black disk. No light reflected off anything.
As we got just past the Willingdon exit, the traffic slowed down and we pulled to the side of the road as others did. There were even two RCMP officers stopped on a side road, (on what I think might be called Clydesdale St. which leads onto Grandview Hwy at Boundary Rd) they were out of their police car looking up at it too. Other traffic had slowed. I passed by and went home, listening to the radio for reports, but there were none. I even expected the 6 PM news to have video. When I got home, I live in a high rise in Vancouver and could see in that direction east, Central Park is directly in my eastern view, I got out my binoculars but could see nothing. I accounted that to the fact that I thought it was a flat object, and from my new view, it would only be a line in the sky if it was still there at all.. The thought did come to mind that it could have been a circular shape, if viewed directly from below, however I never went closer to find that out.
When I told some others about it, someone suggested it could have been a "black hole". I DO know what a real black hole is, but that was an apt description of what it appeared like. As if a pipe was there for some reason, and we could only see the hole in the pipe, but not the pipe itself.
I wonder if you'd get any interest from the RCMP office near the Gagliardy Way?Caribou Rd exit? I just discovered your website recently so can't exactly recall the month I saw it, and it could have even been 2002. Of course most people just smirk when you tell them and ask if I'm a 'trekkie' too, but it was a phenomenal and unforgettable sight. It would be most interesting to find others who saw it too.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

St. Laurent, Manitoba - Lights And Strange Creature (Questions Over This Case ?)
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: August 2003 (end of) Time: evening (after dark)
I had a telephone call from a gentleman from St. Laurent, Manitoba on September 22, 2003. The area where this event took place is mainly a Matee community. The fellow I talked to said he and his wife bought a business and have lived in the community for thirteen years and know many of the area residents.
In the last week of August, 2003 four youths were driving south of St. Laurent towards the golf course on golf course road (as many folks there call it). The road runs by Francis Lake and the golf course is on the left hand side of the road when traveling south. As they drove along they noticed an abandoned vehicle off to the side of the road across from the golf course. At this point they all saw flashing lights over and above one of the buildings on the course. The lights seemed to be sitting stationary in one spot and low over the sheds. They assumed, after seeing the car pulled off to the side of the road and the lights flashing, that someone may have been breaking into the sheds. Two of the young men decided to sneak in to see if they might catch someone causing damage, the other two went back home to get their parents and have them come down to the area where all this was taking place.
As the two youths were approximately half way into the course and as they approached a small road which passed by one of the dugouts, they heard a very loud, piercing scream. As they kept walking for approx: another 100 feet, all of a sudden this "thing" was right in front of them and screaming out this loud screeching noise. A three foot high creature ran in front of them and it was only about 25 feet away. Both witnesses were taken totally by surprise and very frightened as they had no idea what this thing was. It didn't help that it was dark outside. Both of them ran back towards the road where they had been dropped off, but seeing they did not have a vehicle they cowered in the ditch which ran along side the road hoping that whatever it was they saw would not find them. Finally their two friends returned with a couple of the parents and when the vehicle stopped the two guys who witnessed the creature, hurridly jumped into the vehicle. "Let's get out of here" they said .... however the parents did go and check the buildings and found nothing had been disturbed. They all talked about the event on their way home.
The lights which were seen hovering over the buildings were a red, greenish and white colour. The witnesses mentioned that not a sound could be heard coming from where the lights were seen. Also they claimed seeing another light hovering over Francis Lake which was totally red. Again not a sound could be heard.
On the same night, shortly after the above sighting ......another man, driving his van, had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting a similar creature. He claimed that it was about 10 feet in front of him when he finally came to a complete stop. It moved to the driver's side of the van and squatted down, bending slightly to one side, looked up at the frightened driver. The man described the creature as being small and having a protruding jaw filled with a number of teeth. He put the truck into reverse and headed out of there as fast as he could. After thinking about what just happened, and what he saw, he broke down and started to cry.
Another series of events have taken place in the same general area.
A local resident who had some 27 chickens well penned up in a "heavy steel wired" area, found on the following day, that 20 of his poultry had disappeared. A large hole had been ripped in the strong wire fence. The resident looked around the area and found one chicken still partly alive in the bushes behind their home and it had two puncture holes at the base of its neck. No other chickens were found. Strangely, also there has been a large number of domestic cats which have gone missing just over the same time period, which is definitely not normal and there does not seem to be any explanation for their disappearance.
The fellow claims that there is a lot of history of unknown objects being seen in and around the community. He also said that the creature had been spotted on other occasions throughout the St. Laurent area.
The lights were strange, the creature was strange... what they were and whether or not they were connected is anyone's guess. There does seem to be something very weird happening in this particular part of Canada. I will continue to look into this and see what, if anything more , I can discover about it. Due to the community being tight lipped about such strange events its not going to be an easy task.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Kelowna, British Columbia Stationary Light
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: Approx: August 2003. Time: Around 10:30 to 11:00 at night.
Message: Hi there, I just read the article on Castanet about UFO sightings. I moved from Kelowna to Chilliwack in July 2004 but I saw something strange, a light over Okanagan Lake around August 2003. My Condo was facing the Mission just south of KLO Road and I was living on the top floor (4) and had an excellent view from Black Mountain to Okanagan Lake. I was still a smoker then and spent lots of time on my balcony.
I saw this light which was about 70% stationary and at times moved to the right or to the left. Watched this with my binoculars for more than an hour and I knew that it was not an airplane. Airplanes do not stay in one place and I thought perhaps it was a UFO and then I laughed it off as being absurd. I told my children what I had seen and they did not know what to think of that story. This must have been around 10:30 to 11:00 at night. So, that is my story. Have a great day.

Penticton, British Columbia 3 Orangish Lights In The Shape Of A Triangle
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: July 2003 Time: 12:20 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Triangle
Full Description of event/sighting: I was sleeping outside on the deck trying to fall asleep, but staring blankly at the sky. Out of the corner of my eye I saw 3 orangish lights in a triangle, it was sort of hovering in the sky. It was hard to say at what distance was. But I would say further than airplane at distance, closer than the stars. Sort of a big gap there I guess. So it was hovering back and forth and as soon as I made eye contact with it, it "burnt out"? kind of hard to explain it, but almost like a little fireworks that squiggled out. So that's all I had seen, and I got too scared and hid under my blankets to be honest. Then three days later I found out that my cousin had seen the same thing right next door. The reason I decided to report this was because I was reading an article in the October 2005 Westjet Up magazine about 'Creepy Canada', and realized that the sighting in Kelowna (near Penticton) was very similar.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Lethbridge, Alberta Two Triangle Shaped Flying Objects
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: July 22, 2003 Time: 12:30 a.m. (Tuesday morning) Email report
I was just returning from a midnight jog and I was sitting on my front steps which face south and was just cooling off then I noticed something moving in the sky not exactly above me but to the west a bit. I thought they were birds flying overhead but when I stood up to take a better look they were two triangle shaped flying objects with what looked like orange tips on each corner. I couldn't really see the object perfectly clear because of the city lights. As they disappeared behind a tree on the west side of my house I ran west to the street to follow them as they flew without a sound in a northwest direction but couldn't see nothing after that. As I stood there gazing up at the sky I noticed a bright star which probably was the Space station moving in an eastern direction. I don't know what to make of this event but am thankful that I am one of the few to witness something like this.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
HBCC UFO Note: I would always recommend that if anyone shows these types of problems on their bodies, or any other for that matter. Please do seek medical advise. It is for your own safely and let us hope some answers can or will be found.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Terrace, British Columbia A Large Glowing Oblong Shaped Object
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: July 24, 2003 Time: 11:45 p.m.
A witness called to tell me his story of what he and his wife saw. We live alongside the Skeena River which runs through Terrace, British Columbia. Our home is located high up on Mount (deleted by HBCC UFO), from here we have an excellent view of the surrounding area. We sometimes turn the lights off and just sit around with a coffee looking at what is going on below us. As we watched the traffic traveling along highway #16, entering the town of Terrace. (Terrace/Kitimat Junction), we saw a large glowing/oblong shaped object moving slowly along side highway #16 heading north.
We thought at first it may have been a aircraft as the object paced some of the vehicles on the road. But then realized that whatever it was had to be way to low for any plane to fly at night in this area. Eventually the object made a sudden move, or jerked across the highway to the opposite side and came to a stop. (HBCC UFO Note: I asked the witness what he meant by the object jerked. He told me it looked as if it would either stop for a split second, then start moving again, or as it moved a head it would side back just a bit from where it was coming from and then travel a head).
As the witnesses watched it sitting in a stationary position on the west side of the highway, he said it looked like it gained a little altitude and then short off towards the west at an incredible rate of speed. Matter of fact the fellow who watched this take place said, "if you were watching close when it sped off, you would have missed it due to how fast it was traveling". The witness guessed the two of them watched the object for approx: a minute before losing sight of it completely. He went on to tell me that this was not the first time he had saw something rather strange over the Terrace area. Last year (2002) his children dropped by for a visit, and one of the kids grown and now married, gave out a yell and all of them watched a huge glowing/golden colored "thing" moving over the town of Terrace. He said it moved fairly quick, but again stressed that whatever it was, was enormous. He had read articles on myself (HBCC UFO) in the Terrace Standard newspaper last year, but felt funny about coming forward to tell the story. But this year he said, I had to talk to someone over what we both saw, as it was just so strange.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Terrace, British Columbia An Object Of White Grayish Color
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: July 18, 2003 Time: 11:15 p.m.
Brian, Last night at 11:15 p.m. I was talking to my neighbor, (name deleted by HBCC UFO), on his property. There was only a strip of sky exposed due to tree crown cover in place on his property. When I looked up I did see one high altitude object of white-grayish color traveling from the southwest to the northeast. I would say at least 10 Km up. The sky was clear and no cloud was around. I told (name deleted by HBCC UFO), who had his own UFO experiences The second object was following the visible one across the sky in a short distance..but remained invisible throughout the whole time means 50+ seconds.
Interestingly enough, the area of sky visible was very limited due to the tree crowns and it almost seems to me that " they " choose this direction to be seen like the one I saw months ago which came closer within a small break in the tree cover on my property to the east. This flight path is actually situated roughly 40 Km's to the southwest. The two objects were followed by a third one which flew in the same direction 2 minutes later.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Prince Rupert, British Columbia A Bright White Light
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: July 22, 2003 Time: 1:05 a.m.
I just had a report from Prince Rupert , British Columbia. The witness reported seeing an extremely bright flash of light in the southwestern part of the sky. The fellow then saw a bright white light traveling to the northeast coming from where he saw the bright flash. He mentioned that the light took approx: 5 minutes, traveling to the northeast from where he first caught sight of it in the southwestern part of the sky.
It finally just disappeared. The witness also said the light was very high up, but mentioned it was twice as bright than any satellite. Still another light, not as bright was noted coming from the exact position the flash was observed, but this second light was traveling to the north. No sudden moments were noticed. No sounds was heard, mainly due to the lights being so far away. So what we have is a extremely bright flash of light witnessed in southwestern part of the sky, and two other lights coming from the area the flash was observed.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Hecla Provincial Park, Winnipeg Manitoba UFO
Posted: December 30, 2007
Date: July 6, 2003 Time: 9:30 p.m.
It was 9:30 pm Sunday July 6th at the Hecla Provincial Park (120 miles north of Winnipeg)
My wife and I saw an aircraft travelling east. It was very high in the sky as I could not identify aircraft wings and could barely discern the faint sound of jet engines. The aircraft caught my eye because it was shining brightly (probably due to the reflection of sunlight at sunset) and I found it odd that there was no vapor trail from the jet engines. The speed of the aircraft was constant (not unusually fast or slow).
The very strange aspect of this sighting was that the aircraft did a very quick and very sharp U-turn. It took less than two seconds for the aircraft to change directions and begin flying on the same path it had been travelling.
I work in aviation and know that vapor trails are not always visible due to air temperatures but jet aircraft cannot change directions that quickly.
I hope someone else saw this as well.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Enderby, British Columbia Cylinder Shaped Craft Splits In Two
Posted: December 30, 2007
HBCC UFO Research Note: On July 25, 2003 when the below sighting was reported, this started off one of the largest UFO events that has taken place in British Columbia, Canada. Brian Vike of HBCC UFO Research was overwhelmed with reports which ran into the first week of August, 2003. Just two of the cases that came out of the surrounding area was a case where there was over 200 eyewitnesses to a major sighting event and of course the now well known experience the ladies went through in Kelowna, B.C. There were stacks of reports coming in, so much so that I had to grab my fishing rod and take a break, that is how busy it got.
Date: July 25, 2003 Time: 8:30 p.m. Witnesses 6
Bright clear blue sky about 8:30 pm, six of us were on the beach at a small lake (Gardom Lake). When I looked up in the sky commented "what the heck is that?" as a very shiny, bright cylinder shape was stationary high in the sky and then "broke apart", split into two exact same size and cylinder shape and slowly moved apart in the sky. There was no sound, no jet stream, couldn't make out any wings and both pieces now moved at about the exact same speed apart in the sky. All six of us watched these cylinder shapes disappear out of site in a north/south direction.
We have watched hundreds of shows on television on different types of airplanes & ufo's etc and can't explain what this could have been. This was shinier & brighter than any jet almost chrome shiny. Very curious to know if anyone else spotted this. Later realized we had the camera but couldn't take our eyes away. We can forward a map and drawing of what we saw if required.

Enderby, British Columbia Follow Up By Brian Vike HBCC UFO Research
Date: July 25, 2003 Time: 8:30 p.m.
This is a follow-up to the Enderby, B.C. sighting which was reported to Mr. Peter Davenport at the NUFORC.
I telephoned one of the witnesses who reported a sighting for July 25, 2003 to gather a little more information on what the witnesses saw at 8:30 p.m. at Gardom Lake. The story is actually rather interesting.
The gentleman I talked with, told me his wife was the first to notice one large single object sitting stationary in the blue sky. She gave out a yell and pointed into the sky. This is when a total of 6 people saw the unusual object. But by the time everyone else was observing the it, it had already broke (separated) into two sections. Both section after the break up were the exact same size. (I asked if there was any type of explosion which may have caused the object to break into the two section, and the witness said no. The single object basically spit into two parts).
After it broke up, the folks said the "objects" went in separate directions, one heading north and the other south. The fellow I chatted with said the craft was sitting at approx: 30,000 to 40,000 feet at his best guess. Also they noted after the craft separated, and holding their hand up to get a rough idea how close the two section were to one another at the height they were at, they guessed them to be approx: one inch a part. The witness also noted that the two parts did not pass one another (stayed close to one another), but did slowly drift a part going in different directions until they lost sight of them.
He mentioned that it was like looking at the chrome bumper of a car with the sun reflecting off it. The brightness to the objects were extremely bright. There was no sound detected, no contrail from any of the them. He also gave a approx: size each of the objects may have been. He estimated they might have been 1/4 inch in length, this using your finger nail at arms length. (Note: If the estimated size is even close, the objects must have been enormous in size).
The sighting lasted for approx: 4 to 5 minutes.
I am still hoping the other witnesses will call. Also the witness said he would get a drawing of what they saw to me, and there exact location.

British Columbia UFOs, Beam Of Light, Frightened Residents
Posted: December 30, 2007
By Brian Vike
Over 200 witnesses speak out - We Want To Know!
What can cause so many residents in various communities from Kamloops through to the Okanagan and the Kootenays in British Columbia left scratching their heads, wondering what it was they all witnessed. Also many people became very frightened and ran into their homes. The answers to the questions I have been asked have been hard to come by, but we certainly know something extraordinary did take place on July 28, 2003 in the early morning hours.
The story begins with a family who was camping at St. Mary's Lake, which is located approximately 12 miles east of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. Around 12:45 a.m. the husband and wife decided to do some star gazing as the children were asleep and the night was warm and the sky clear and full of stars. As the couple stood looking into the night sky they observed a very bright, white light heading in a southeasterly direction. The moon sized light was witnessed flying low over top Bootleg Mountain and across the lake and at times it's speed did vary. As it slowed, then picking up speed once again the witnesses watched the light zig zag slightly and at times it seemed to wobble until it was out of sight.
When they arrived back home from their camping trip they contacted the Kimberley RCMP detachment and spoke to a Cpl. Rod Carbonneau to enquire if others had reported seeing the object. Cpl. Rod Carbonneau said the detachment received no calls over this matter. The Cranbrook Airport was also contacted and asked if there were any aircraft in the area of the sighting .... but none were reported in the vicinity the object was observed. For the couple who watched this amazing sight on July 28, 2003 not many answers were fourth coming. A couple of area residents did telephone the folks who watched the event telling them what they also saw that night, and another did make a report to the local newspaper.
From A Few Witnesses To a Flood Of Calls.
A report was made to Peter Davenport at the NUFORC in Seattle, Washington and then the sighting report was forwarded on to me here at HBCC UFO Research (Houston, British Columbia) for a follow-up investigation. What I did not realize at this time was just how large this one case was going to be. From a handful of witnesses the case exploded into a major event where I ended up with over 200 eye witnesses to something very mysterious.
Two things happened in the early morning hours that Sunday, a large moon sized object was seen by many area residents, and what followed left many folks in communities such as Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna, Kimberley, Cranbrook and as far as Jaffray, British Columbia scratching their heads wondering what it was they saw. A beam, or ray of white light was observed from Kamloops as far southeast as Jaffray, British Columbia. People who watched the strange and puzzling event said the white light looked as bright as a florescent tube and was arced from horizon to horizon as if one was viewing a rainbow. The beam of light sat almost stationary in this position for approximately an hour before dissipating. Almost everyone who witnessed the beam of white light said they had never seen anything like this before. All said they have watched the northern lights many times, but they commented this was certainly not the northern lights!
A Few Of The Eye Witness Accounts - The Light/Object (July 28, 2003)
A gentleman from Cranbrook, B.C. telephoned me and reported that he and his family were sitting outside and were discussing how bad the forest fires are throughout the southern interior when one of the family members spotted what they thought was a airplane with it's landing lights on and heading in their direction. As the bright white light drew closer to them, the size was growing rapidly and so was the brightness of the light. Before they knew it, the light/object was upon them. The family was so frightened due to the immense size of the light/object being almost at the edge of their property that the children ran into the house screaming. The mother followed closely behind. The father followed his wife and kids into the home, but stopped to take one last glance at whatever it was, and watched it make a 90 degree turn to the south. When I spoke to the dad he told me that they heard not a sound coming from it.
Another report came from a lady who was with a group of people on their holiday at their cabin on one of the local Kimberley, B.C. lakes. She told me they were sitting outside on the deck when one of the guests pointed towards the northwest. Low over one of the mountains came a huge, extremely bright white light traveling slowly in a zig zag pattern heading to the southeast. As it got closer to the resort area, many people became uncomfortable due to how strange the object/light was acting. As it passed straight overhead not a sound was heard. Some of the folks who were there said it was like looking at a full moon on a clear night. It was that big!
Two men in a pick-up truck traveling north along the highway just south of Wycliffe spotted the large bright object flying south. As they watched the large light/object close in on their location they pulled the truck over to the side of the highway, and jumped out of the vehicle to get a better look. Due to it being so low, so bright, and passing directly over top of them the light from the object lit up the highway and surrounding area. Both men stood frozen in their tracks and speechless. Both fellows said it moved quickly in a straight line and made no unusual maneuvers. Again no sound was heard which is remarkable due to how close it was to these men, and all the other witnesses.
The above is a small example of what folks saw that night. There are many more reports here of area residents reporting seeing the same thing.
A Few Of The Eye Witness Accounts - Beam Of Light (July 28, 2003)
One lady said what she saw was very strange, it didn't behave like the northern lights as she noted that the lights danced across the sky, or looked like a curtain of shimmering light. She wondered if the long dry hot weather may have something to do with what she was seeing. But her thoughts changed quickly as she watched the beam of light come from the northwest horizon and impaled itself on one of the local hills and that is where it ended, according to this witness.
A party of four witnesses were out for a few days on one of the areas lakes just outside of Kimberley, B.C. Everyone was having a good time talking and having a few spirits. One of the men who was sitting on a camping chair had just poured himself a drink, when he looked up and said to the rest of the people he was with, "do you see what I am seeing"? Everyone replied, "yes"! The man who asked the question was so surprised at what he was looking at, he poured his drink onto the ground and thought he'd had one to many that evening! They all watched a beam of narrow bright white light run in an arc from horizon to horizon.
First they wondered if it might have been a search light as it was so bright, but they soon ruled this out due to the miles and miles the light covered. Again all these witnesses said this event lasted for approximately one hour before it dissipated.
Some three weeks after people saw the beam of light on July 28, 2003, I had calls from Kelowna and Kimberley British Columbia reporting that the beam of light was back in the night sky. Two Kelowna residents stood on the patio with phone in hand reporting what it was they were seeing. The exact white beam of light sat stationary running from horizon to horizon and was extremely bright.
Four Kimberley residents stood outside watching the beam of light, they reported standing under a street lamp and even with brightness from the street light they could clearly see the beam of light sitting in the dark sky.
Conclusions
There is no doubt that something very unusual took place on Sunday, July 28, 2003 in the wee hours that morning. What folks saw in all these communities seems to be a mystery. But I have tried to come up with some reasonable answers for all the questions everyone had for me.
Here Is What I Know
Over 200 witnesses watched an amazing event unfold on July 28, 2003 (early morning). Some observed the object and others observed the beam of light. (Exact numbers are broken down for how many saw the object or beam of light below.
What I didn't say is how many saw both).
38 witnesses observed a huge, bright white low flying light/object.
162 witnesses observed the reported beam of bright white light.
The International Space Station passed over Kimberley, B.C., at 00:24 hrs. on July 27, 2003.
A Fire Ball was observed flying in a southeasterly direction over the West Coast of Canada and the U.S.
Most of the witnesses reported the light/object and beam of light running from the northwest to the southeast.
There would have been a lot of air traffic in some of these areas due to the fire fighting efforts to control the devastating forest fires which raged through some of these areas in the summer of 2003.
Our hearts go out to the people who were effected.
So, the questions that need an be answered are.... What was the strange, large, glowing bright object? Did the object cause the beam of light which sat stationary in the night sky for approximately an hour as the object traveled through the areas?
As for the object, this is certainly a mystery. After a lot of time speaking with witnesses, looking at data on astronomical events, checking on the flight paths, seeing if there were aircraft in these areas flying at the time of the sighting...... I have come up against a brick wall. I have not found any rational explanation for what people saw that night. Fireballs for example as far as I know do not make 90 degree turns to another direction. Also seeing that the object was so low, traveling rather slow in many of the reports and not making a sound. This again is certainly strange. Something else I found rather interesting, was the fact that reported sightings had dropped from my area here in the pacific northwest of British Columbia and reports of unusual crafts of every kind were now being seen and reported by many people residing in the areas from Kamloops, the Okanagan straight through into the Kootenays. Almost every different shape, color and size have been reported to HBCC UFO Research. Did the over 800 forest fires attract visitors from above? I am sure we will never really know the answer to that question..... ?
The beam of white light ended up still being as baffling as the object. When reports started coming in I was sure what everyone was seeing was nothing more than the northern lights. But as the list of witnesses grew, and hearing their comments, I started wondering if there was a connection to these unknowns and the beam of white light. Out of the 126+ witnesses who observed the ray of light running across the night sky from horizon to horizon, only one report was filed saying they believed it to be nothing more than the northern lights. (which I report on below). Everyone else said they have never witnessed anything like in their lives. All said they have watched the northern lights on many occasions, and in their words "this was not the northern lights".
A radio station host put a question on air to the people in the area, asking "has anyone seen strange lights in the night sky?" I was told reports flooded in over this beam of light, and how everyone was left not knowing what it was they saw.
To be fair to all sides, I placed below an email I received from a person who did have some knowledge in astronomy, weather phenomena and the northern lights. One thing I would like to point out, is that what the gentleman viewed was not on the day of this major event.
The email came from a gentleman who, on the evening of July 26, 2003 and morning of July 27, 2003, stated that a sailing regatta was held by the Kelowna Yacht Club. Although the event discussed in the report above took place in the early morning hours of July 28, 2003, I thought the report below was important due to how close all of the events were to one another. Plus I want to give both sides on this case.

Over 200 witnesses speak out - We Want To Know!
What can cause so many residents in various communities from Kamloops through to the Okanagan and the Kootenays in British Columbia left scratching their heads, wondering what it was they all witnessed. Also many people became very frightened and ran into their homes. The answers to the questions I have been asked have been hard to come by, but we certainly know something extraordinary did take place on July 28, 2003 in the early morning hours.
The story begins with a family who was camping at St. Mary's Lake, which is located approximately 12 miles east of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. Around 12:45 a.m. the husband and wife decided to do some star gazing as the children were asleep and the night was warm and the sky clear and full of stars. As the couple stood looking into the night sky they observed a very bright, white light heading in a southeasterly direction. The moon sized light was witnessed flying low over top Bootleg Mountain and across the lake and at times it's speed did vary. As it slowed, then picking up speed once again the witnesses watched the light zig zag slightly and at times it seemed to wobble until it was out of sight.
When they arrived back home from their camping trip they contacted the Kimberley RCMP detachment and spoke to a Cpl. Rod Carbonneau to enquire if others had reported seeing the object. Cpl. Rod Carbonneau said the detachment received no calls over this matter. The Cranbrook Airport was also contacted and asked if there were any aircraft in the area of the sighting .... but none were reported in the vicinity the object was observed. For the couple who watched this amazing sight on July 28, 2003 not many answers were fourth coming. A couple of area residents did telephone the folks who watched the event telling them what they also saw that night, and another did make a report to the local newspaper.
From A Few Witnesses To a Flood Of Calls.
A report was made to Peter Davenport at the NUFORC in Seattle, Washington and then the sighting report was forwarded on to me here at HBCC UFO Research (Houston, British Columbia) for a follow-up investigation. What I did not realize at this time was just how large this one case was going to be. From a handful of witnesses the case exploded into a major event where I ended up with over 200 eye witnesses to something very mysterious.
Two things happened in the early morning hours that Sunday, a large moon sized object was seen by many area residents, and what followed left many folks in communities such as Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna, Kimberley, Cranbrook and as far as Jaffray, British Columbia scratching their heads wondering what it was they saw. A beam, or ray of white light was observed from Kamloops as far southeast as Jaffray, British Columbia. People who watched the strange and puzzling event said the white light looked as bright as a florescent tube and was arced from horizon to horizon as if one was viewing a rainbow. The beam of light sat almost stationary in this position for approximately an hour before dissipating. Almost everyone who witnessed the beam of white light said they had never seen anything like this before. All said they have watched the northern lights many times, but they commented this was certainly not the northern lights!
A Few Of The Eye Witness Accounts - The Light/Object (July 28, 2003)
A gentleman from Cranbrook, B.C. telephoned me and reported that he and his family were sitting outside and were discussing how bad the forest fires are throughout the southern interior when one of the family members spotted what they thought was a airplane with it's landing lights on and heading in their direction. As the bright white light drew closer to them, the size was growing rapidly and so was the brightness of the light. Before they knew it, the light/object was upon them. The family was so frightened due to the immense size of the light/object being almost at the edge of their property that the children ran into the house screaming. The mother followed closely behind. The father followed his wife and kids into the home, but stopped to take one last glance at whatever it was, and watched it make a 90 degree turn to the south. When I spoke to the dad he told me that they heard not a sound coming from it.
Another report came from a lady who was with a group of people on their holiday at their cabin on one of the local Kimberley, B.C. lakes. She told me they were sitting outside on the deck when one of the guests pointed towards the northwest. Low over one of the mountains came a huge, extremely bright white light traveling slowly in a zig zag pattern heading to the southeast. As it got closer to the resort area, many people became uncomfortable due to how strange the object/light was acting. As it passed straight overhead not a sound was heard. Some of the folks who were there said it was like looking at a full moon on a clear night. It was that big!
Two men in a pick-up truck traveling north along the highway just south of Wycliffe spotted the large bright object flying south. As they watched the large light/object close in on their location they pulled the truck over to the side of the highway, and jumped out of the vehicle to get a better look.

A Devastating UFO Encounter In Kelowna, British Columbia
Posted: December 30, 2007
By Brian Vike
The story is real but one of the names in this report is fictitious for obvious reasons. Corina, the driver of the vehicle is her real name.
Monday - August 18, 2003 I received a telephone call from Corina who lives in Kelowna, British Columbia. The lady was very upset and had a time speaking of the event that took place with her and a close female friend of hers. She told me today that a friend had brought over a newspaper article which was run in the Kelowna Capital Newspaper. The headline read "Seeking Witnesses to UFO." which showed up on August 15, 2003.
Here Is Corina's Story
She tells that her and her friend are having a very hard time dealing with what took place. Also another couple who lives in the area watched an aerial craft hovering close to the location where the two ladies had parked there car at the side of the highway and gave confirmation to the incident, or at least witnessed an object.
At approx: 12:05 a.m., July 31, 2003 the two ladies were playing around on the computer when Linda said, we haven't done any star gazing in a long time, so Corina, the lady who contacted me said, you're right, lets go out and do some star gazing. They left home at 12:05 a.m. heading out to an area where they would get a look at the clear night sky without having lights to obscure their view. Corina drove to Glenmore, which is north from where she lives and is on the back road heading to Winfield from Kelowna, B.C.
They were driving along and Corina reported that there was quite a bit of traffic for that time of the night, but soon after they decided to stop just off to the side of the road to see what they might notice, the traffic stopped coming. There was not a light from any vehicles, not anything other than a very dark stretch of road. Corina grabbed her flashlight and shone it into the sky as she has done this in the past. Her friend Linda had the binoculars on the other side of the car scanning the starry night sky. They were there only a minute out of the car when her Linda said, this is really strange. There are three stars up in the sky and formed into a triangle shape. All three lights at this time were solid white. Both ladies watched as the three white lights started moving, but moving together. The witness with the binoculars said stars don't do that, and Corina replies, of course not, as she thought it may have been a plane or something. Linda replies, no this is not a plane as the lights were changing color to a neon green and the object had stopped and hovered just ahead of their car on the highway.
Corina turned the headlights off, and shone her flashlight down the road in front of her car. They were worrying about animals such as a bear, cougars, etc. being around in this isolated area. As she shone the light up the road both of the women spotted something which frightened them a lot. Five sets of eyes staring at approx: 40 feet away from them. As frightened as they were, their first thoughts were of coyotes or some other wild animal, but she said once you really look your brain takes it in.
Corina describes the creatures as being roughly four feet tall, dark gray shoulders and coming towards the women. Corina said "I was so scared I could hardly talk, and could hardly breathe". She yelled to her friend Linda, "get in the car, get in the car". Corina said they both scrambled to get back into the vehicle, but she said it was like moving through quicksand and it felt horrible. Being so terrified and trying to move as fast as they possibly could, it felt as if everything was slowing down around them.
Once they were both back in the car, Corina tried to turn the ignition on so she could get the power windows up. But all the electrics on the car was failing. The dome light, headlights were going off and on, on their own and as she said. "Everything was going nuts"
Finally the car started and they turned around in the middle of the road and sped off towards home and as they traveled along they noticed a fair bit of traffic coming in their direction. (Corina commented to me, where was all the traffic when all this was happening?) As they drove along the road, Corina said to Linda, "this is the weirdest thing. "She said I feel like electricity, my whole body is tingling, just like I was zapped by a charge from a battery". When Linda heard this, she said, "I didn't want to say anything to you as you might think I was nuts, but I am feeling the same. As if I was hit by an electrical charge." As Linda was explaining how she felt, and facing Corina she glanced at the clock in car and said, "Jesus Corina, look at the time" ! Corina said what are you talking about ? Linda said we were only stopped and out of the car for a few minutes at the most, and the time of the car's clock reads an extra 25 minutes of time.
As they drove along and close to home they both discussed it and wondered if they had imagined it all. As they were just about home, they turned onto Baker Street which is covered in darkness next to a field. All of a sudden they saw this bright, glowing neon green ball low in the sky. The object started moving to the right, "stop", left, "stop", right, "stop", left, "stop" and then it started to move away until the ladies car came to a halt, and so did the object. Before they knew it, the ball of green light started heading towards them at a high rate of speed and hovered high above their car. At this point they just wanted to get to their home and be as far away from whatever it was as possible.
The driver sped off quickly again and they headed into an orchard which was very close by. They thought they would not be seen hiding amongst the trees, plus there was no lighting in this area to reveal their position. Corina looked at her friend and said, "they will never find us here". Both women are sitting in the car trying to get themselves together as the driver said she was losing it at this point. Only after a very short time after arriving in the orchard Linda said, Corina you better look out the front windscreen and look up slightly. We don't have just one green ball of light, there are now three, glowing green objects. The way the green lights were in the sky, it looked as if the they formed a triangle formation and all moving now together. After a short period of time each of the green lights moved away in different directions.
(HBCC UFO asked if the witness could give some idea of how large the green lights were. The witness told me each of the lights were approx: half the size of a full moon). After seeing the lights flying off into different directions the ladies raced home as quickly as they possibly could.
Once safe at home, both ladies shaken, they tried to come up with some reasonable explanation for what just happened. They tried to put it out of their minds but that was impossible ! Later on, both ladies turned in for the night and when they woke up in the morning, Corina discovered a large bruise on her left breast and another on the bottom of her foot. She did not know how they got there but she did know they were extremely painful.
As she sat drinking a cup of coffee, Linda finally got up and was walking down the hall towards the kitchen when she said, "god, good morning - do I feel rough this morning". After Linda finished saying that, Corina watched as blood came pouring from Linda's nose. Corina jumped up, ran and grabbed a towel. Linda also commented that she was having a lot of pain in her lower back area. She asked Corina to have a look to see if there was anything that could be seen. So she looked and gasped, there was a large circle burned into her skin and was located in the middle, lower back area (tail bone). Also bruises were found on Linda's body as well, some of them appeared to look like finger marks and there were three of them on each thigh. Both women at this point were shocked, upset and very frightened.
Linda, who was up visiting from the Abbotsford ended her holiday and headed back home. Two days after being home in Abbotsford, B.C. she went to consult her family doctor due to still experiencing the terrible pain which was originating from her lower back, plus it was not getting any better. Her doctor examined her, and her injury to her back, the doctor said if I didn't know any better I would say you have a radiation burn. He was of course referring to the burn mark on Linda's back. The doctor is still trying to heal this mark on her back, as something had burned right through the outer layer of this ladies skin.
I would also like to add, this Missing Time event took place around the same date over 200 witnessed watched one amazing event unfold in southeastern British Columbia. I also received a flood of sighting reports which also came from this area. July 27/28 to August 18, 2003.
Photo of the burns, etc can be found on the HBCC UFO Research website. Note I will dig up the pictures and post them soon with this report.

Before they knew it, the ball of green light started heading towards them at a high rate of speed and hovered high above their car. At this point they just wanted to get to their home and be as far away from whatever it was as possible.
The driver sped off quickly again and they headed into an orchard which was very close by. They thought they would not be seen hiding amongst the trees, plus there was no lighting in this area to reveal their position. Corina looked at her friend and said, "they will never find us here". Both women are sitting in the car trying to get themselves together as the driver said she was losing it at this point. Only after a very short time after arriving in the orchard Linda said, Corina you better look out the front windscreen and look up slightly. We don't have just one green ball of light, there are now three, glowing green objects. The way the green lights were in the sky, it looked as if the they formed a triangle formation and all moving now together. After a short period of time each of the green lights moved away in different directions.
(HBCC UFO asked if the witness could give some idea of how large the green lights were. The witness told me each of the lights were approx: half the size of a full moon). After seeing the lights flying off into different directions the ladies raced home as quickly as they possibly could.
Once safe at home, both ladies shaken, they tried to come up with some reasonable explanation for what just happened. They tried to put it out of their minds but that was impossible ! Later on, both ladies turned in for the night and when they woke up in the morning, Corina discovered a large bruise on her left breast and another on the bottom of her foot. She did not know how they got there but she did know they were extremely painful.
As she sat drinking a cup of coffee, Linda finally got up and was walking down the hall towards the kitchen when she said, "god, good morning - do I feel rough this morning". After Linda finished saying that, Corina watched as blood came pouring from Linda's nose. Corina jumped up, ran and grabbed a towel. Linda also commented that she was having a lot of pain in her lower back area. She asked Corina to have a look to see if there was anything that could be seen. So she looked and gasped, there was a large circle burned into her skin and was located in the middle, lower back area (tail bone). Also bruises were found on Linda's body as well, some of them appeared to look like finger marks and there were three of them on each thigh. Both women at this point were shocked, upset and very frightened.
Linda, who was up visiting from the Abbotsford ended her holiday and headed back home. Two days after being home in Abbotsford, B.C. she went to consult her family doctor due to still experiencing the terrible pain which was originating from her lower back, plus it was not getting any better. Her doctor examined her, and her injury to her back, the doctor said if I didn't know any better I would say you have a radiation burn. He was of course referring to the burn mark on Linda's back. The doctor is still trying to heal this mark on her back, as something had burned right through the outer layer of this ladies skin.
I would also like to add, this Missing Time event took place around the same date over 200 witnessed watched one amazing event unfold in southeastern British Columbia. I also received a flood of sighting reports which also came from this area. July 27/28 to August 18, 2003.
Photo of the burns, etc can be found on the HBCC UFO Research website. Note I will dig up the pictures and post them soon with this report.
