Shiny Metallic Cigar Shaped UFO Over Moose Jaw Saskatchewan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July-August 1969 ?

Time:  ??

Message: Back in 1969, several members of my family and some neighbors across the street saw a shiny metallic cigar shaped object in the sky over the southwest area of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. 

It hovered in the sky for several minutes and then shot off.  I was nearly 5 years old at the time and cannot personally remember the incident. However, several calls were placed to the airbase regarding the sighting and it was reported in the Moose Jaw Times Herald.  It was reported sometime in July-August, I think. 

Also, back in 1947 when my mom was a girl, she and a number of students during recess at Westmount school in Moose Jaw saw several strange objects in formation hovering and moving in the sky above the school yard.

Thank you to the witness for this report.

The Min Min Lights In Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Approximately 1979

Time:  Evening

Australian Aboriginals talk freely of a phenomenon in the Australian bush called The Min Min Lights, strange lights that follow cars, people, they are said to have some otherworldly significance.

During the same around Australia journey with my friends we were hundreds of miles from my other tale of intrigue and once again I was doing the driving ( I love driving and it was my car) whilst my companions slept.

We were travelling along a dead straight bitumen road miles from anywhere when I saw a set of (once again) what appeared to be car headlights come on as I was approaching (1/2 mile) a cut out in a small hill where the road passes through.

At the time I thought "what would anyone be doing up there ?", as the "car" appeared to be up on top of one side of the cut out maybe 60 feet above the road.

As I approached the cut out (50 yards) the lights went out, however in the second or two that it took me to get to the site in question the "car" had disappeared ?

I remember thinking "that is plain weird" but not as weird as what happened next.

Just after I passed the point where I saw there was nothing where the "lights" had been, the "lights" were now facing me from behind and were as plain as day in my rear view mirror. Go Figure!

Thank you to the witness for the fascinating report.

Disk Shaped UFO Changes Color Over Auberry California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 6, 1982

Time:  10:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Disk-shaped light

Full Description of event/sighting: I had returned home from a family BBQ (it was Labor Day here in the States) and went out to turn off some sprinklers when our two dogs began barking. I thought there was a car on the road, but there was not, so I looked up and there was a disk-shaped light crossing the sky from E to W.

There are some power lines that run alongside the road and off to the house where my mom and step-dad now live, and the object was following those lines running to that house. (My mom and I lived in a mobile home about 100 yards. away from her current residence).

The UFO changed color: red-blue-orange-yellow-white-red, in that order. Size was about that of a dime at arm's length. Both dogs were barking continuously throughout the sighting, which was about 2-3 minutes.

The porch light and yard light both dimmed, but did not go out. My Mom was inside and did not see the UFO, but she told me later that her TV was having interference while I was outside.

I reported the sighting to the Center for UFO Studies, who sent me a questionnaire, which I filled out and returned, but they did not let me know about any follow-up. (maybe because of my age at the time-12).

Auberry is in the traffic pattern for Fresno-Yosemite IAP in Fresno, and I am familiar with aircraft, especially at night. In addition, I am a military aircraft buff, and have had a familiarity with military aircraft since the age of 7, and this was no aircraft.

If you wish to publish the account on your site or use it on the air, please do, but leave my name out, as I am about to go on active duty in 4 months with the U.S. Navy. 

The weather was clear, but I don't remember the temperature, but it was in the mid-90s, and there was no wind at all.

There are two military bases near: Fresno ANGB (at Fresno-Yosemite IAP-they had F-106s at the time) and NAS Lemoore. Castle AFB near Merced was active at the time, with B-52s and KC-135s, but closed in 1995. What I saw did not appear to be any military aircraft.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Glowing Pear Shaped UFO Tumbles In The Sky Above Auberndale Florida

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

 Date:  March 3, 2005

Time:  Between 6:30 pm-7:00 pm

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Pear shaped.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving West on SR/CR 92 and looking at the jets in the sky off in the distance with the contrails behind them contrasting with the bright golden/pink remaining skylight from the sunset. It was an extremely clear evening and cool out.

As I watched the jets, a closer and brighter object caught the corner of my eye as it moved in place. I'd say it was approximately 1000 feet up and tumbled in place. I say tumbled because the object appeared pear shaped only if you took a knife and cut the very top of the pair off giving it a flat top.

The bottom half of the object was an extremely bright reddish orange glow. I only saw this glow as its (what I call) bottom end being the wider end of this object, came into view with its stationary position in the sky tumbling.

I pulled the car over and watched this object as it tumbled. When the wider more bright part of the object left my view, the object seemed to almost disappear except for a faint visual of the object in its position until its wider brighter part rotated into view.

This object wasn't traveling left or right or toward or away, as I said, it was stationary in the sky as it tumbled. The body of the object appeared very dark in color or black from my point of view. And if I held a dime up an arms length in toward the sky, it would just have barely covered the object from my point of view.

The object finally vanished with a single flashbulb effect and absolutely no sound the entire time.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Large Hovering Flying V Shaped UFO Over Santa Cruz County Aptos California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Approximately 1984, late winter.

Time:  Not known

Approximately 1984, late winter, Aptos California, Santa Cruz County.  I was heading, I believe west in the Rio Del Mar section on Clubhouse Drive with 3 housemates. 

Through my driver side window on the left, a large flying V was flying westward, over a house. It was brown in color with an approximately an 80 - 100 foot wingspan (maybe larger), and was flying at an altitude of approximately 80 - 100 feet. 

The craft was moving at maybe 3-5 MPH, and from the wings and belly of the craft were white spotlights that were panning the house and ground underneath. I slowed my Land Cruiser down to watch, but didn't say a word to my passengers because it was just too weird. 

At one point I decided to myself that it had to be a military stealth bomber, which had just been brought forward in the media as experimental aircraft. Moments later I realized that it could only be a UFO because it was hovering so slowly. 

I watched for about 20 seconds or so, and it kind of disappeared when it reached a 45% angle in the sky.

Have there been any similar reported cases during this time period and in this geographical area?  

Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

Large Glowing Ball Of Light Leaves Acrid Type Odor In The Air Aliso Viejo California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  January 16, 2005

Time:  9:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Round

Full Description of event/sighting: Large glowing "ball" 2000 feet approxamtlty hovered, then traveled at high rate of speed south. Faster than any plane etc. Appeared to drip fire. After hovering again it then sped off and disappeared.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, I am 53 and the other two witnesses were my son 14 and my friend 27. It was a clear calm Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. on the date I indicated in my report. I am a (removed by Brian Vike) for a national department of agriculture organization. I have never had an interest in UFO's or have taken the reports seriously. We had just returned from a weekend in Palm Springs CA.

We were standing outside my home talking and suddenly moving into our vision over the roof tops a large glowing ball came into view. None of us had ever seen anything like it before.

It was not at a high altitude in my opinion. I travel in airplanes weekly, and I estimate the object at first glance was 3000-5000 feet in the air. It "glowed" and was a yellow white color. It seemed to move slowly almost floating and my first thought was that it was a large balloon with a light of some sort inside.

That dispelled when the object moved very quickly south and seemed to gain altitude. It moved much faster than any airplane or helicopter I have ever observed.

There was no trail or vapor of any sort behind the object as it moved. In a span of a few seconds it traveled approximately 5 miles. (I am 6' tall, and if I hold my arms up and pointed to the sky at a 45 degree angle with both arms in opposite directions, that is how far and fast it moved in 5 seconds or less!)

The object then seemed to hover again in the distance, and began to "drip" a fire like substance or pieces of itself. It then just disappeared. The entire experience was about 20 seconds. The only other phenomenon was that immediately afterward the air around us had an acrid type of odor, which dissipated very quickly.

We were astonished and I did not report it, but immediately listened to the news etc., to see if any other reports came in, but nothing. I had told my parents about the sighting and several days later she mailed me a newspaper report from The San Gabriel Tribune which spoke of these sightings earlier in January than mine and the article also mentioned you and your organization. This prompted me to contact you.

I hope this helps and am curious if you could explain this if there is some answer.

Thank you to the witness for the very interesting report.
