Daylight UFO Over Resolute Bay, Canada (Photo)

Posted: January 21, 2008

Resolute Bay, Canada

Date: Week of November 6th to Nov 14th 2001 Time: 12:45 p.m.

Hello, my story starts with a visit to Cornwallis Island on the week of Nov 6th to Nov 14th 2001.

After my visit was complete we departed Cornwallis Island and flew to Resolute. We had about a 3 hour wait for our connecting flight to Nanisivik. So we stayed in the airport and waited for our plane to show up.

On a previous project I had purchased a new Sony digital top of the line camera and I had this with me for the site visit to document an area where I was going to, etc.

I took several shots of the surrounding airport terrain and when I got back to the office a week later I went through the 100 plus photos. To my surprise picture number 97 had an object in the background. This shot was taken at approx. 12:45 in the afternoon in the direction of the end of the runway.

I have enlarged this photo and examined it in many ways. It sends a little chill up and down my spine every time I look at it. My friends and work colleagues are speechless . Those that are do not believe in UFO's don't know what to say or can't.

When you enlarge this photo you will see this object at an angle and underneath it you can see three columns of disfigured airspace (possibly drives). The afternoon was clear and crisp and the shacks at the end of the runway clearly are proportionate to the object passing just past the end of the runway. I did not see the object to take this photo I pointed at the end of the runway and took the shot, what was in the shot as I said was discovered later.

Let me know what you think of this photograph.

Regards.



I would like to thank the witness for the report and photo. Also some information was removed from this report to keep the witnesses identity private. Posted with permission.

Cariboo Airspace A-Buzz With UFOs

Posted: January 21, 2008

By Neil Horner © 2003 Quesnel Cariboo Observer

The skies above Quesnel and the rest of the Cariboo area have been relatively crowded lately, and not just with airplanes and helicopters.

In fact, says UFO researcher Brian Vike, nobody is exactly sure what they are.

In an interview from his home in Houston, B.C., Vike said he's amazed at the number of sightings in the Cariboo over the past summer and fall.

I've been getting stuff like crazy from your area, he said. All kinds of things are happening. It's been very busy ever since mid-July.

One incident, he said, involved some Quesnel women who said they saw an object that looked like a giant plasma ball moving slowly across the sky one night.

"It took about eight seconds, which is a very long time, Vike said. They watched it from their kitchen."

In another incident, he said, a Wal-Mart employee working a late shift, saw a great big red object shoot across the heavens.

Vike said he received reports of a fireball coming down in the Quesnel area recently, which was seen from Vanderhoof to 100 Mile House.

It was very bright, very low, he said.

These are just a few of the local sightings that Vike has had reported to his web site at www.hbcufo.com.

I've had reports coming in about just about every shape and form of unidentified craft you can think of, from triangles to crescent shapes and cylinders, he said. I had reports of a really dark object, really low over Okanagan Lake. According to witnesses, two jets flew over just after this object went through, although that's hard to verify.

One of the most disturbing elements of any UFO report is the possibility of missing time - where witnesses find they can't account for several hours just after seeing something. This, too, he said, has happened in B.C. this year.

In Kelowna on July 31, two women were out star gazing and they pulled over, and got out of their vehicle. When they did, they saw three white lights come together to form a triangle and then drop out of the sky, Vike said. They tried to run, but they said it was like running through quicksand. One of them said she felt like she had been zapped with electricity, and the other agreed. They managed to get to a house, with the lights still following, and that was it.

Or was it? The women reported between 25 and 35 minutes of missing time.

Interestingly, Vike said, the womenâs tale was bolstered by a report from someone else living in the area who said they could see where the ladies were and could see the lights over the highway.

In the morning, one of the two women was sitting at a table and all of a sudden said, she felt awful and then blood started trickling from her right nostril. As well, she found she had a burn mark on her tailbone that she couldn't explain. The doctor, Vike said, suggested it looked like a radiation burn.

Those ladies went through hell with this, he said.

In another local incident, a Quesnel area resident was looking up at the stars when a number of them all of a sudden moved and fanned out in different directions.

In all, there were 150 reports of unidentified flying objects in British Columbia over the past year. That, Vike noted makes up about 50 per cent of the entire crop of UFO sightings in the entire country.

Vike has been working as a UFOlogist since mid-2000, following up a lifelong passion for astronomy. When he moved to Houston, he set up his web site and started posting some old UFO pictures, and people started calling in their reports.

One thing I would like to stress is that if people make a report, their personal information will not be given out, a Vike said. This is very important.ä To report a UFO sighting, call Vike's toll-free number at (not operating anymore)

Houston BC Resident Vike Busy Researching Sightings In Sky

Posted: January 21, 2008

Py Paul Strickland Staff Writer Prince George Citizen © 2004 All Rights Reserved

A Houston man who researches celestial phenomena says a number of unexplained objects have appeared in the night sky over Prince George and the Northern Interior in recent years.

Brian Vike hopes local residents will phone his toll-free line, 1-866-262-1989, to report any unusual sightings.

Vike owns and operates HBCC UFO Research (HBCC stands for Houston, British Columbia, Canada), which he established in 2000. He says the number of reports of unexplained night-sky phenomena has increased dramatically since 2002.

"There is no doubt something is happening in our skies", he said. "Particularly in the last two months there have been a lot of strange things."

Vike said a Prince George resident reported a red ball of light just west of the city Jan.30 around 9.30 p.m.

"The first time it rose from behind trees, and then it moved to the west and hovered above the trees," he said.

"Afterwards it jumped higher quite suddenly, took off for the west, and made a curving motion.

"She said that, being so close, they thought it may be a helicopter but it made no noise." Vike says.

Another resident called around the same time to report exactly the same phenomena, he added.

Other Prince George residents saw a ball of light over the industrial area east of the downtown core, the evening of January 29th. "It flew over and split in two," Vike said. "Each part went in a different direction".

This week a city resident near First and Tabor told The Citizen she and four friends saw two orange objects in the northern sky, January 31st around 10.p.m. After five or 10 minutes they moved lightly apart, one more slowly than the other. The first one disappeared fairly quickly into clouds afterwards, while the other moved out more slowly and faded off.

Above a month and a half ago, Prince George residents phoned about a possible meteor, Vike said. "It was a real good fireball streaking across the sky just west of Prince," he said. "It was blue and left a long bright trail behind it. It lit up quite an area as it travelled through."

Another incident occurred in the city about a month ago. A resident was standing by the Future Shop, looking west just after the sky had turned dark. For two minutes the resident saw a large flame, such as from a jet afterburn, but they didn't see any aircraft anywhere.

Last Fall, a Quesnel resident driving north towards Prince George saw an oval shaped light from highway 97 between the two communities.

"In the last while dozens of people in Prince George have seen unusual phenomena," he said.

Reports of sightings may be faxed to Vike at (old number) or email to hbccufo@telus.net

Kincardine, Ontario 3 Bright Lights Explode From The Water

Posted: January 21, 2008

Report received January 29, 2007

Date: About 14-15 years ago Time: 10:00 -11:00 p.m.

Brian, well I live in a small town called Kincardine. It's in Ontario on the Western shores of Lake Huron. This is home to one of the worlds largest nuclear power plants, Bruce Power. This experience happened about 14-15 years ago. I was around 12 years old and it was the summer before I entered high school. So how ever old you are then.

Anyways, this is what happened, It's about 10:00 - 11:00 pm., myself and two friends at the time were on our bikes down at the harbor on our pier. We have two piers, a north and south pier. We were on the north pier, cause back then we had a diving board on the pier where everyone would hang out. So we were out on the pier standing around talking about having a sleep-over out at my dads house. About 50 meters or so off the pier it looked like there was someone out in the water swimming. It looked like someone was doing the breaststroke, doing maybe 30 feet lengths back and forth, back and forth. We didn't think anything of it really. So anyways my one buddy already knew he could stay the night, but my other buddy didn't as he had to ask his parents. So he took off on his bike back uptown to call his parents and ask.

Me and my other buddy stayed at the pier. 10-15 minutes later he comes back. This is where things get weird! So we notice that things still there, doing the same thing, same pattern like someone was swimming! Only out a little deeper, basically right out in front of the diving board now. Still parallel to the pier. Now were starting wonder what this thing really is as were curious, right. We start walking towards the diving board, which is maybe 15 feet from where we were, asking each other "What is it?" As we reached the diving board I yelled out " It's a mermaid, " joking around. Just as I finished yelling that, this thing stopped moving in the water and it looked like it looked at us.

It went under the water and exploded out of the water in 3 bright lights in the shape of a perfect triangle. Maybe 10-15 feet between each light. This thing was out of the water and hovering literally 7-10 feet in front of us, off the pier in a matter of milli-seconds. Not a sound was made by this thing and deadly quiet! It rotated one way coming out the water, stopped in front of us, hovered there for maybe 3-5 seconds then took off rotating the other direction out over the break-wall then up into the air and gone! I remember having to grab onto the diving board ladder because my entire body turned to, basically Jell-O and I could feel some sort of heat on my face.

After we could move again, we looked at each other and ran like hell! We left our bikes and just ran off the pier and it took us about an hour to go back to get our bikes. This happened and I will never forget it. Feels like it happened yesterday. Back then I had no clue about UFOs and such things. We were all into our sports. The only thing that came to our minds was a ghost. But as I got older I started seeing TV shows and documentaries about UFOs and now I'm 110% sure it was a UFO, and to be honest I think we saw some sort of Alien species doing whatever it was doing in the water until we spooked it. Maybe it hopped in it's craft and zipped up on us out of curiosity. It's a crazy story I know, but 100% the truth.

Thank you.

Thank you very much to the witnesse for their report.

Mysterious Lights Over Prince George Explained

Posted: January 21, 2008

By Bernice Trick Citizen Staff ©Prince George Citizen Newspaper

The mystery of the orange lights in the sky above Prince George about a week ago has been solved.

"The lights turned out to be parachutists jumping at night," said Brian Vike, a UFO expert from Houston.

"The jumpers were doing acrobatics -- almost doing somersaults at times -- and the orange lights attached to their feet or ankle areas would appear to rise upwards during the acrobatics," Vike said. The mystery was solved by a retired military man who viewed the action with a pair of binoculars, he said.

"One landed close to his home, and he said just before landing, the jumper turned the lights off."

On Friday the Citizen ran a story of the unusual sightings reported by Andrea Lanoue who, with four friends, observed bright orange objects.

She described the lights as hovering for a time before moving slightly apart at different speeds, and some of them "fading off".

Vike said he's not sure if the skydivers used the lights to keep track of each other during formation jumping or if they were "playing some kind of hoax".

A UFO survey released Monday by Ufology Research of Manitoba shows the top 10 communities in Canada for reported UFO sightings, Vike said. In 2003, there were 673 reported sightings across Canada, with Vancouver leading with 41. Toronto ranked second with 34 sightings, followed by Houston at 33, Terrace at 30, and Airdrie, Alberta at 17. Prince George is not among the top ten.

"Most reported unfamiliar lights in the sky are identified as meteors, planets or stars," Vike said, who became heavily involved in UFO sightings in 2000 after moving to Houston. Since then he's participated in radio shows in Canada and the U.S. and was one of the main characters featured in a 2002 TV documentary called "The Magnificent Obsession".

Among cases still unsolved is one involving two women travelling away from Kelowna last July. "They reported seeing three white lights which turned green and dropped down in front of them on the highway. They both reported a loss of 45 minutes, and a tingly throughout their bodies," Vike said.

"They turned around and headed back to Kelowna with the light following them for a short distance before disappearing," said Vike, noting eight other people also reported seeing green lights. The next day, both women felt ill with a passenger having a nose bleed and finding a burn mark on her tail bone which the doctor said appeared to be a radiation burn. Since then, both have experienced weight loss, hair loss, nausea, salt cravings, dehydration and pressure to the back of their neck. But doctors cannot figure out the problem, Vike said.

Strange Lights In Sky Reported By Resident

Posted: January 21, 2008

By Bernice Trick Citizen Staff ©Prince George Citizen Newspaper

A local resident wants to know if anyone else has seen fast moving balls of fire in the sky above Prince George in recent months.

Lisa Hallam says she's witnessed the sight on three separate occasions -- including Monday night -- as well as August 18, 2003 and January 31, 2004.

"The first time I saw this intensely red ball of fire was last August 18 above Punchaw Park, just off Ness Avenue where I live," said the 35-year old Hallam, describing the object's size as about four times the size of the brightest star in the sky.

"I knew it wasn't Mars because it was located behind me," said Hallam.

She said another strange thing at the time was the electronics in her home "started acting funny. We'd lose the TV signal and the screen would go green, and the VCR and DVD player turned themselves on and off," said Hallam, who's a CNC student.

"I saw the light again January 31. I thought I was losing my mind, so thank goodness my mother saw it, too. "(On Monday) night I was coming home about 6:30 p.m. along Rainbow Drive and there it was again, travelling northwest above Cranbrook Hill acting in the same manner as the others. It moved pretty fast. It's so intensely red."

When Hallam reached home she continued to watch the sky, and said there were two other unique sites.

"Above Cranbrook Hill there was a circular shaped blue green hue that appeared both in front of and behind the clouds, and then I saw a long, rectangular hue of light-green light. It resembled the northern lights, but moved horizontally instead of up and down. My neighbour saw the bar-shaped hue, also."

That same day, Lisa's mother, Cheryll Hallam, said the electronics "went wonky" again. Gil Self, vice president of the Prince George Astronomical Society, said there had been no reports of the lights described by Hallam. "Right now Venus is brilliant due to its location in its orbit high in the western sky. It sparkles like a jewel", said Self, who said he never discredits reports by people, but instead, tries to explain the likely causes.

Self said there are many explanations for lights in the sky - refracted light from aircraft, electrical phenomenon in the sky, fireballs, meteorites, and electrical discharges from time to time.

UFO expert Brian Vike of Houston said: "I have no explanation for the sighting, but I am going to check out a few things regarding it and a few more sightings in the Prince George area."
