Saanich, British Columbia A Burnt Orange Spherical Object

Posted: July 13, 2008

Date: July 12, 2008
Time: 2:43 a.m.

Location of Sighting: See notes.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Spherical.

Full Description of event/sighting: The object was sighted in the east-north-east sky (approx 60 degrees as indicated using a Silva compass and subtracting 23 degrees to compensate for magnetic declination) from the above noted location. The inclination angle was measured at +/- 16 degrees using a Suunto hand-held clinometer. These measurements were taken on July 13 2008.

The object appeared to be spherical in form, but without well defined margins. It was a "burnt orange" colour. From my vantage point, the object appeared to be about 10 times the size (apparent) of Venus. The intensity of the emitted light could be likened to a 100 watt porch light as viewed from a block away, or slightly brighter than last night's moon.

The object was viewed for less than 10 seconds as it flitted with great speed in the area of the sky described. The event ended with the object departing in a westerly direction extremely fast.

The object appeared to be over the area of Haro Strait where it converges with Georgia Strait... approximately mid-way between Sidney BC and Bellingham WA.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Trans-Canada Highway Near The Border Of Saskatchewan And Manitoba UFO

Posted: July 13, 2008

Date: November 1999.
Time: Between 8:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Trans-Canada Highway near the border of Saskatchewan and Manitoba (we were in Saskatchewan by then).
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Flat cone dome top, with large middle section. Could not see bottom/base due to fog.

Full Description of event/sighting: Hello,

Very recently a friend told me that two of his friends experienced a UFO flying closely over them while sitting by a field and that he believes them. After some reassuring, it led me to tell him my own story and ever since, I've been looking for reports and stories by other people that I can relate to.

In 1999, my family moved from Regina, Saskatchewan to Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) to be closer to relatives. It took us over a year to fully settle in Winnipeg and we would have to take very short trips between the two cities often throughout that first year to bring back more belongings or deal with some unfinished business and property transfers. That summer I had just turned 16 years old and I was particularly observant of the experience of being on any road, even while I wasn't driving. I was not a confident driver and was paranoid of having accidents.

In early November of that year (I think it was before/around remembrance day), my brother and I had a long weekend off from school and we wanted to join our father on his next quick trip back to Regina to do some business. He would only be there overnight and half of the next day, but we wanted to visit our old school friends.

That night on the highway, there was a heavy storm. We left later than planned, and it quickly became dark just after 4pm or 5pm. I remember feeling quite nervous because visibility was very poor. We could only see a few meters in front of us and the anxiety made me keep focus on the road - to be a second pair of eyes on our surroundings - while making noise or engaging in light conversations with both my brother and father in the hopes of keeping my fathers mind awake and alert (usually I like to just sleep through the 6-7 hour drive). There was no radio and we did not have tapes to play, nor a CD player to help with that.

After a long drive in the dark rain for a couple of hours, we entered a thick fog. It made the space around us seem a little brighter but in fact it didn't help our visibility because we could still only see a few meters of the road that was directly in front of us. However, the rain wasn't as heavy.

After 20-30 minutes in the fog, we saw that we were driving towards a section that was lit up. The light was coming from what we thought was the top of a grain elevator. We've made the trip between Regina and Winnipeg many times during our lives and know that grain elevators would be the only thing that would stand as tall. But I also thought, right away, that it was unusual for a farm building to be that close to the highway. I remember pondering the very thought in the situation, comparing past trips and recalling only to have ever seen a backlit highway billboard to have a light shining as close to the road.

We could see that the area ahead was brightly lit - as bright as it would look as if it had been day. I remember feeling some relief, though, and feeling thankful that a farmer was considerate enough to erect a building with a bright light shining on the road for travelers in the dark.

Just before we pierced through the fog to pass by the structure, the rain had completely stopped and we found ourselves in what I assumed to be the middle of the storm. Fog still surrounded us, but the light was bright enough that I could see through parts of it. My eyes scanned upwards towards the light where it was clearest and I saw that the top was a flat cone shape dome/roof. I thought that maybe I was wrong about the grain elevator because it looked more like a silo. However, just below the light was a second level of the structure that was a larger sort of base continuing to grow out like a wide-based cone. I could not see any lines, nor see through some patches of the fog to discern what the entire shape of the base was but it's presence was large - it took up as much ground space as a tall building would (that's the best I can describe it). I did not see any other lines, seams, addresses or words on its surface and there was no other colour but silver. It looked newly built out of metal.

I observed all of that within 5-10 seconds only. My eyes quickly moved to the closest light, facing towards the road. There were at least 2 other lights that I could see through the fog. They were rectangles- not too square, but not long like a fluorescent bulb either. It was so bright that eventually I felt blinded by it and saw only white. At that point, I considered that it was a new kind of agricultural architecture. I even considered that it was a set for a movie, and that some production company was shooting a film and had their brightest lights out.

As the car moved further away, the fog began to cover the light and gradually the rain pounded the road and we were back to driving in a dark storm.

No one in our car had said a word while driving through the middle of the fog. It felt as though we were in a trance for what seemed to be 10-15 minutes back into the storm. Finally my father said out loud, "What was that?!" and we all agreed that it was a strange sighting. Still, no one mentioned that it could possibly have been a UFO until the next day when my father hesitantly voiced the idea on our drive back. It was a clear sunny day with an entirely blue sky. All three of us watched the side of the road hoping to find a structure at the same location the night before to confirm that it was just a regular building, but we only saw farm fields and groups of structures in the distance.

It was only when we arrived home that we agreed that we may have seen a UFO up-close. But we've never talked about it with each other any further. Very rarely over the years we've had to ask one another about the incident to confirm that it wasn't our individual imaginations at work that night. But still to this day, we've kept it to ourselves because we don't think anyone else would believe us.

One car passed us in the opposite direction just after we drove through the fog, and there was one car at varying distances before and behind us during most of the drive. I've always wondered if they've reported anything. I feel very hesitant and awkward to talk about it, and to admit what I saw, but I'm writing this now for the record because I'm not sure I will talk about it again. If there are people who saw the same thing that night at least they can know that there are three people who saw it too.

Thank you to the witness for the amazing sighting report.

Caledon, Ontario A White Luminous Sphere (UFO)

Posted: July 13, 2008

Date: July 12, 2008
Time: 3:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Caledon direction.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: White Luminous sphere (quite large).

Full Description of event/sighting: I was watching the thunderstorm and looking out towards Caledon/Inglewood direction which is westerly from Bolton.

Suddenly, something very huge and white luminous in color just blipped on up in the sky about 30 degrees upward from my position (back porch facing north)and started a nice smooth travel across the sky heading in a northern direction. It was moving downward at about a 15 degree angle as it traveled northward. It went below tree line/horizon. Duration was about 20 seconds or more. It was big enough to be convincing. With an outstretched arm, my arm being 3 feet. Thumb to eye, the object was about the 1/2 size of my thumb. I'd say it was over by Hwy 10 and Olde Baseline Rd. area. 16 km away or so. Calculated roughly to almost 2km wide object (?). Probably alot smaller.

I was the guy who saw a boomerang craft over Bolton in last year's summer while stargazing in July (2007). Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for a interesting sighting report.

Penticton, British Columbia Three Oval UFOs

Posted: July 13, 2008

Date: July 11, 2008
Time: 10:50 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Penticton, BC.
Number of witnesses: 1-3
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Oval.

Full Description of event/sighting: I have lived in the Okanagan Valley, more or less the better part of my life and have enjoyed star watching for many hours in the summer nights as a child with my grandmother and with my friends. I am familiar with comets, shooting stars, satellites, northern lights, planes etc. I have never before seen anything like I saw this night. It was almost eleven o'clock on a clear summer night. I had just sat down on my back patio when I looked up over the roof of my house into the night sky. Immediately I saw an object, which at first glance I thought was a shooting star. However it was moving too slowly and it was not bright enough and did not fade. It moved in a continuous motion coming closer and higher in the sky traveling north over my house. As I watched the object passed in the sky it moved into the darker part of the sky more directly above my house and out of the city lights. It was then I could clearly make out the shape of three oval objects.

They did not seem to have lights, per say, but were rather reflective in nature. These three objects were traveling in a diagonal formation and passed over my house from south to north at a consistent and fast rate of speed. I am guessing twice the speed of a jet plane. They continued north until out of sight. The sighting may have lasted about 20 seconds in total. I continued to watch the sky for approximately another one or so. Within 25 minutes of the first sighting, I noticed what appear to be a typical satellite in size and movement, however this light was passing from north to south at a much quicker speed than a normal satellite. Because of it's unusually fast speed and what I had just previously witnessed, I continued to watch the small light. I followed it until it was in the southern part of the sky. All of a sudden the light paused, stopping momentarily, and then changed direction shooting off to the east and immediately out of
sight.

Although my husband and son were watching with me at this time, they did not gain sight of the small light in time. What followed, they did see. We continued to watch the sky and out of the south east sky came a bright flash of light - just light someone had taken a picture with a camera flash. My husband saw it too. Three more similar flashes of light followed over about the next twenty minutes. My husband and son saw the next one. I continued to watch and saw another two. I noted the exact locations of the flashes. None were from the same spot. The four flashes, if connected, would have formed a rough diamond shape. Finally, at about midnight and we were starting to head in for the night when out of the corner of my eye I again spotted three oval shapes low in the eastern sky. They were again traveling from south to north, maybe a bit quicker, but this time they were in a triangle formation.

I tried to point them out to my husband but the street and city lights impaired the sighting and before we could gain a clear sighting, they were gone. I find it fascinating that the night unfolded as it did and wonder if anyone else saw the same types of things. Given the amount of activity in this relatively short period of time someone else must have seen something. I would be very interested to learn more.

Thank you to the witness for the very interesting sighting report.

Barrie, Ontario Two Unknown White High Flying Objects

Posted: July 11, 2008

Date: July 6, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Star-like, Very high in the sky.

Full Description of event/sighting: My friend and I were laying on her front lawn looking at the stars when we noticed what looked to be a very fast moving star-like object. It was not as fast as a shooting star, and it wasn't slow enough to be a satellite. It was too high in the sky to be any sort of aircraft, and it was a solid white colour. We lost track of this object, but saw another one with the same appearance but going in the opposite direction. This object was going south for a while and then all of the sudden turned very sharply and started heading northeast.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
