HBCC UFO Research: The report below came in through submissions, this leaves the person reporting anonymous to me, Brian Vike of HBCC UFO Research. So I have no way of replying to this person about the report that had been submitted to HBCC UFO Research. I also would like to add that although I do agree with the person reporting and talking about the frustrations because people will not acknowledge events that they have obviously seen or heard. I do understand why folks do not come forward as much as they do. Also I would like to mention that I have folks telling me that they had a UFO sighting going back some years and wonder if I would be interested in hearing their story. Yes I am most interested in any sightings or experiences know matter when they happened. Every report is very, very important ! The lady who sent in the report did write to me through my hbccufo@telus.net email address. I have now spoken to her.
Some writers of several recent submissions have expressed frustrations because people will not acknowledge events that they have obviously seen or heard. Although I cannot explain why that happens I can give an example. I was once one of three people who "wouldn't talk".
About 30 years ago I was on a road trip with my parents and three year old daughter. We were slowly traveling across British Columbia and planning to circle through part of Alberta before heading home to Victoria. We arrived in Revelstoke late on a sunny summer afternoon, found a motel and went for dinner. After dinner we decided to go for a drive. We had noticed on a map that there was a road going a short distance, maybe 20 miles, down the east side of Upper Arrow Lake. Since the purpose of the trip was to try to find roads we'd not yet traveled, off we went.
Although the sky was clear in Revelstoke we were heading south into a high overcast and far to the south we could see periodic flashes of sheet lightning within the clouds. Just a few miles out of town the road turned a sharp corner to the left and followed the base of the mountains around a large bay. The moment we turned the corner I was terrified. I wanted so much to ask my father to turn back but the logical side of me kept saying to not be silly. The purpose of the trip was to explore. Eventually I stopped looking out the window and started talking nonsense to my daughter playing on the floor of the car (before seatbelts). I was trying to distract myself.
About half way around the bay my father stopped the car and for no apparent reason rapidly turned and went back the way we had come. He said nothing but I was so relieved I almost cried. The only comment my mother made was "So you felt it too." I still could not look out the window. As soon as we turned back around the sharp corner we were back in sunshine and the feeling of terror instantly disappeared. All dad said was "Promise me that none of you will ever drive down that road again". When we got back to the motel we went to bed and I recall thinking that I was glad my bed faced the door so if I had to, I might be able to protect my family. We all went right to sleep.
The next morning we were up and on the road. Nothing was said about the strange drive. That was completely out of character for all of us. Not only would we normally have talked about something like that, we would have driven back the next day to at least the beginning of the bay.
None of spoke about it for about four years then one of us finally asked if we remembered the event. Apparently dad "knew" that if we had kept going we would have never come back. Mom also admitted to being very, very frightened. We still have no understanding or memory about what frightened us. We also told each other that although we had wanted to talk about it we couldn't. I recall often trying to think about it and say something but the thoughts and words just dissolved. That was happening with my parents as well. My daughter had not appeared bothered at all on the drive. That could be because even if there was something unusual or frightening out there, she couldn't see out the window. It could also be that at three years old everything is unusual and sometimes sort of scary!
What had we seen? Nothing. What had we heard? Nothing What happened? Nothing. What had we felt? Terror. Why could we not talk about it? I don't know.
So for those who are confused when others don't talk about something, please realize that maybe they do know what happened ....but they just can't hold onto the thoughts or words!
Twenty years later I went back to Revelstoke with my husband. We started down that road. Everything had changed with the lowering of the lake level and the growth of the trees. However when we got to "the" corner I asked him to stop. There was nothing at all frightening about the place. He asked if I wanted to go farther but I said no. I remembered my promise to my dad. I've stayed in Revelstoke many times since then but I know I will never travel that road. Maybe someday I will remember why.

Thank you to the person for this very interesting story about what took place, also for her insight into why folks sometimes do not come forward to talk about their experiences.

Toronto/North York, Ontario A Stationary Black Object
Posted: February 4, 2008
Date: June 15, 2007 Time: 11:00 a.m.
Approach Direction: N/A Departure Direction: Up Witness Direction: South East.
Description: I was on the subway returning from Downsview station, approaching Yorkdale, facing south east on the train. I looked up and saw a stationary black object just below a large cloud. It was tube shaped with rounded ends. I didn't want to take my eyes off of it, it was so strange how it wasn't moving, than it did move, back wards and forwards without reorienting it's self at all and as I blinked it went up into the cloud and was gone. It took all of 30-45 seconds.
Color/Shape: Black, featureless surface, tube shaped (cigar) looked small.
Height & Speed: at cloub level maybe the size of a van.

Maple Ridge, Birtish Columbia A Very Bright Red Constant Light Came To A Hover
Posted: February 4, 2008
Date: June 20, 2007 Time: Approx: 10:15 p.m.
Approach Direction: East to west. Departure Direction: East. Witness Direction: West.
Description: Around 10:15 just about dark, I saw a red constant light very bright moving west from the east. It is very clear with only a couple of small clouds, the light stayed very bright red like a plane but not flashing, it slowed and hovered over Pitt Meadows area for around 8 mins. Then moving northeast gradually easterly. The light stayed bright and stopped several times, eventually continually easterly until I couldnt see it any more. I've seen a few lights before which are similar, it's easy to distinguish a plane from this, there is no sound just this object of light stopping and starting, sort of like it was looking for something.
Color/Shape: Bright bright red light, start stop action and direction changes.
Height & Speed: 2500-3000 ft speed varied from slow to stop to faster approach from east to west, turned back to east.
TV/Radio/Press: Too early.

Northeast Of Calgary, Alberta Object Appeared To Resemble A Star
Posted: February 4, 2008
Date: June 25, 2007 Time: 3:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Calgary NE. Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Appeared to resemble a star.
Full Description of event/sighting: I went out for a smoke at about 3.30am. I usually have a look at the stars if it's a clear night and it was. What looked to resemble a star began to move across the sky. I didn't want to lose track of it so I didn't run in the house to get my binoculars or camera. I called my son and he saw it as well. It looked just like another star so it was tricky to keep track of it as it entered each constellation. It never made a sound but moved across the sky from east to west quite fast. It appeared to be very high up in the sky. I've never seen anything like it before, nor have I ever seen a UFO before.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Calgary-Bankview, Alberta A Bright Light Moves Across The Sky
Posted: February 4, 2008
Date: June 10, 2007 Time: Approx: 2:15 a.m. - 2:30 a.m.
Approach Direction: West. Departure Direction: South East. Witness Direction: South West.
Description: A bright light moving from west to southeast, fortunately I had my binocs and was able to look at it briefly. It was brighter than Jupiter and at that time, the 2 brightest stars were Arcturus and Jupiter. It moved faster than an airplane, had no lights-glowed white-hot and had no debris trail, no smoke or vapor, did not change in intensity-of-brightness, did not rotate like a satellite and did not make a sound. It was only bright for about 10 seconds and in that period of time-went from halfway up the horizon to the west (45 degrees) all the way across to just about halfway up the south eastern horizon. It seemed to slow down a touch when I jumped up and down screaming Look! Look! UFO! UFO! Right away someone said "that's a plane" but we could see the flight path from the Airport-planes were taking off in a northerly direction. None were landing.
Color/Shape: White-bright, round shape.
Height & Speed: I have no idea, it's height could have been low, or it could have been high, but it moved faster than an airplane that you see at high altitude.
TV/Radio/Press: I do not have cable and rarely read the newspaper, too much bad news.

Toronto, Ontario Two White Objects Traveling In Unison
Posted: February 4, 2008
Date: June 19, 2007 Time: 10:35 p.m.
Approach Direction: North west headed south west. Departure Direction: Not sure. Witness Direction: West.
Description: I noticed a hazy moon peering through some clouds and also noticed 2 white dots near the moon. What caught my eye was the fact that these two dots were clearly visible even though it was a bit cloudy around the moon. Rest of the sky was clear.
The dots were spaced evenly apart, from where I was looking it looked like 2 inches apart...not sure about how far that would be in reality way up in the sky. What was interesting was that they appeared to be at the exact same height, they never changed their speed or direction apart from each other, they never got close to each other nor did they go far apart. They moved in tandem. It could be they were part of the same ship or two ships flying in unison.
They both headed off from the north west down the south west and then just disappeared. These were not plane as again they were too close together to be commercial planes and never wavered in either their speed or proximity from each other.
They reminded me of when the snow birds (show planes) fly in unison but way, way too high to be any type like that.
Color/Shape: Bright white dots
Height & Speed: From the ground I can't tell...looked to be about 2 inches apart if I put my fingers up towards the sky but never moved apart beyond that. as for speed it took about a minute to disappear from my view.
TV/Radio/Press: No.
