Formation Of Lights Over North Fambridge in Essex U.K. (Picture)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 1, 2007.

Time:  12:30 a.m.

Saturday 1st July - We were sitting in the conservatory at 12:30 a.m. when we saw a formation of lights moving from South to North over North Fambridge in Essex.

We all (4) rushed outside and I took the attached photo with my phone. The formation was initially a 4 followed by 2 then a further distinct 4+.

They were moving smoothly and with no noise, appearing as balls of light with no shape. We called the police who said they were a Christian group letting off balloons, but there was no way they could move at this speed and against the wind.

I am not easily misled but this was unlike anything I had seen before. Height uncertain (looked low), constant speed and no sound. The police took our phone and address.

Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

9 To 10 Round Red Glowing Lights Over Idaho Falls Idaho

New Sighting Report.

Date:  December 31, 2020

Time:  Evening.

Hi, Brian, Happy New Year.

I saw pairs of red lights a few hours ago and ran across a report on one of your Vike Factor web sites inviting reports of like objects. My wife also saw them.

9  to 10 round red glowing lights, Idaho Falls

Are sightings of such objects in southeast Idaho identified yet? Do you still invite reports on these sightings? Or desire only a comment pertinent to that 2012 report?

I can offer a brief report and my initial speculation on the New Year's Eve lights. I was a daily newspaper editor at vvdailypress.com and business magazine editor at Inland Empire Business Journal in Southern California. We are new residents in this "dark skies" neighborhood within the Cache Valley, probably located along a flight corridor for Hill AFB. Regards.

Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

Approxamtlty 20 Red Objects/Lights Over Hudson Massachusetts

New Sighting Report.

Date:  December 31, 2020

Time:  Evening.

Hi Brian, I saw the lights in Hudson, Massachusetts. The lights were traveling west to east, low but long trajectory.

I saw at least 20 objects in a two hour time span.

Looked like a red object just multiple times. Most were single file, but did see two at same time.

My wife thought they looked pixelated when viewing through binoculars. 

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Huge Glowing Purple Oval Shaped UFO Hovering West of Manchester New Hampshire

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Mid October 1977

Time:  Approximately 11:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval shaped tipped vertical.

Full Description of event/sighting: I am a musician and was going home to Nashua from a job playing at the Deerfield Fair with one of my band mates and another friend. It was pretty cold that night and the air was clear. As we were driving west on Rte. 101 I noticed a large object in the sky moving slowly from north to south. I pointed it out to my companions and we pulled over and got out of the car to get a better look. 

When we stopped the object stopped moving. It appeared to be at least a mile or two away and was very large, about the size of a silver dollar held at arm's length. It was at about 10 o'clock from the horizon.

It was an elongated oval shape and perpendicular to the ground. I seemed to have a bump on one side. The object was glowing purple and the raised area was glowing red.

There were two rows of orange or yellow lights on the oval part that were flashing in opposite directions around the oval. The overall shape reminded me of one of those children's tops with the lever that you push up and down to make it spin except slightly flatter and on its side.

We watched the object for about 10-15 minutes as it hung there in the sky. While we were stopped, someone in a pickup truck stopped and asked if we needed help. We explained what we were doing. He had a CB radio in his truck and I could hear other people on the CB chattering about the object.

He looked with us for a minute or two and left. We finally decided to go ourselves as the object was just hanging there. When we started moving the object continued moving slowly south and eventually passed from view. It moved a little slower than an airplane and seemed to move at a steady speed.

When we got back to Nashua my band mate's girlfriend was waiting up for us. She was nearly hysterical. She had been out at a dance class and on her way home had apparently encountered the same object except that it was directly overhead and low to the ground. She said that it covered the whole sky.

Surprisingly or perhaps not, there was nothing about this in any of the local papers even though there were many, perhaps hundreds of witnesses.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Vietnam Veteran's Visitation

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Brian, Thank you for your interest because it seems that no one wants to listen. I'm not the kind of person that gets excited about things so I didn't send a thing for a long time, but it lay on my mind.

I'm a disabled Vietnam Veteran and I ran a halfway house, for getting homeless Veterans off the street and, hopefully, back into some kind of home/shelter. We have so far, gotten eight guys off drugs and, either back with their families or into a house of their own, with a great support structure, of volunteers or other vets. God has been good to us.

I had finished my daily chores and decided to go to bed. I hadn't quite dozed off yet, I was kind of just laying there talking with God, as I noticed a bright light come on in my room. I didn't need to open my eyes because it was bright enough to see through my eyelids.

I thought it was odd because of the nature of our tenants, we never go into each others rooms unannounced, but, for some reason, I still didn't open my eyes. I just waited for whoever it was, to speak. No one ever did and my memory goes blank, at that point.

Being a combat Vet, it is my nature to investigate anything out of the ordinary, but this time, for some reason, I just didn't.

My next impression was of being light (i.e. without weight). I don't recall a floating sensation, as one would expect, should the effects of gravity cease, just a weightless sensation.

After that, a period of time passed, I suppose, then I heard/felt a crunching feeling/sound. I can't describe exactly what it was because I didn't really feel it or hear it, I just sensed it, some how.

The next memory I can clearly recall, is of awakening, and as is my usual habit, because I am a smoker, I cleared my throat. I felt as though I had a cotton ball in my mouth. I remember thinking "This is strange" and remembered the experience of the night before. When I swallowed, I expected it to get stuck in my throat and that I was gonna go into my bathroom, spit it out, and see what it was, but it went down real easy, except that I felt a small lump.

By the time, the whole experience should have concerned me more, but this didn't. I just kind of grinned it off and got up.

I guess I kind of forgot it, and went on with my life without anything unusual happening except that I suddenly just stopped drinking. In my position as leader of the group, I had argued with myself that I needed to stop, as it was kind of hard to talk the homeless guys into stopping, when I drank. I was telling myself that it wasn't a problem for me, but it was beginning to and I had already prepared for a really hard battle with it. It never happened. There was no battle, no stopping and then starting back, or wanting to drink but not doing it, I just stopped ! I haven't wanted a drink since, and that, is strange.

The only other thing, that I have noticed, thus far, is a very small lump that grows on the upper/inner part of my ear. It itches and I scratch it, and several times I have looked at it, and there is a tiny piece of something that looks like a grain of salt or sand. I usually just brush it off, but this time I am going to get someone to look at it under a microscope.

I believe there are visitors or some unusual form of life that is playing with us, or maybe examining us, and I have seen things that I can't personally explain. But I have adopted the attitude of, I'm going to wait and see what's up, rather than form an opinion.

I hope this helps you in your search and I am willing to do whatever you need me to do, to find out what it is at the bottom of all this.

Sincerely, Jackie.

My many thanks to Jackie for her story.

Police Sergeant Fires Three Rounds From .303 Rifle At UFO At Braeside Fort Beaufort South Africa

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

This is one amazing case with companies lining up in hopes of filming a documentary on this sighting. I was shut down and never passed the information along to any of them. I can tell you, there is no way I am handing out case after case to TV networks to run documentaries on my work like I did when I owned and operated HBCC UFO Research, (I don't anymore) for nothing. Most UFO people get nothing for their work, I won't hand it over anymore unless they are going to actually pay for the material if I appear in the film or not. Tired of them using us. Getting tried of this in my old age, maybe I am getting grumpy. LOL.

Brian Vike’s Note: I have been talking by way of email to the then sergeant of the  South African Police. The witness has agreed to be interviewed by way of telephone and Brian Vike will be interviewing the gentleman for an upcoming show on the Vike Report. Stayed tuned for details as this will certainly be one amazing story to be related. Also please note that permission has been granted to leave the report as is, with name intact.

Date: June 26, 1972 Time: 10.00 (?) 

Location of Sighting: Braeside Fort Beaufort. Number of witnesses: 12 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Oval.

Full Description of event/sighting: Incident were reported by others previously. I was then a sergeant in the South African Police and witnessed the sighting. I was the policeman who fired shots at the object with a .303 rifle and hitting it together with (name removed), who was the owner of the farm.

What I still cannot understand is that how could be possible that the object have vanished into thin air without we who were watching the spot not being able to see it taking off.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Additional Information:

Hi Brain, in 1972, I was a sergeant in the South African Police, with eight years of service, in the small South African town, Fort Beaufort. The morning of June 26, I received a report of an object which appeared on the farm Braeside, which belonged to a Mr. Bennie Smit.

At that stage I did not know Mr. Smit well. I persuaded the Station Commander, Warrant Officer Philip Van Rensburg to accompany me to the scene. On the farm we met Mr. Smit and some of his workers including a worker by the name of Boer de Klerk.

Boer told us that during the morning when he was in the field at the reservoir when he witnessed a round "ball of fire" which changed in colours, hovering about 20 meters above the ground and which were slowly moving in the direction of the hill, which separates the farm from the Fort Fordyce bush.

On our arrival we did not witness any suspicious objects. We did the initial investigation and were skeptical. At that stage we were seven people. Four laborers, 2 policemen and Mr. Smit.

Whilst we were standing looking at the hill which were 150 meters from us, I saw an object which emerged from the thick bush and vegetation at the foot of the hill and hovered just above the vegetation. It moved slowly to our right and again disappeared behind the thick bush.

It did this movement a couple of times and I had the feeling that we were being watched. Mr. Smit had a .303 rifle with him and I decided to take a shot at it. The object were oval shaped and it was difficult to estimate the size of it. Might have been just over a meter in diameter.

It had a shiny dark metal grey colour. I fired three shots at it, hitting with each shot. Mr. Smit also fired at the object. During firing at it, I saw a sharp bright light, flickering on the right of the craft, just above it.

During the shots it also disappeared and emerged again from behind the trees. It was in broad daylight after 10:00 a.m. in the morning and the weather was clear. Mr. Smit and some of the workers went into the bush with a handkerchief, tied to a stick enabling us to direct him.

We noticed that the object moved away as if it were reacting to our voices giving direction to the searchers.  I  heard further shots coming from close to where we last seen the object disappeared  and Mr. Smit enquiring if we could see it.  We kept observation but did not see its departure. According to Smit who claimed that they came close to it.

The object turned upright and became a greyish white in colour before it veered of making a whirring sound. It just disappeared. The following day we combed the area with other police officers and found nine evenly spread circular imprints about 10cm in diameter in the soil directly from where we saw it disappearing behind the bushes. 

The imprints were in hard clay soil easily 25 - 30 mm deep, as if the legs were spiraled in the ground. Samples were taken and send to the Council for Scientific and Industrial research Laboratories. Apparently it never reached them.

Also of interest is that a couple of days later in the evening the town engineer Dr. D. Verschoor, interrupted a Council meeting to show the councilors a UFO flashing in colours as it moved in the direction of the Fort Fordyce bush and Braeside.

On Saturday 8 July during the night, Mr. Smit heard a loud explosion on his farm. On investigation the next morning he discovered that his reservoir, which were constructed of brick and cement were shattered and large concrete blocks were lying up to 20 meters away from the actual site. Another mysterious incident, never solved.

Thank you again to the witness for this amazing report.
