Bright Glowing Balls Of Light Looked Like A Bonfire Over Chemainus British Columbia

Date: January 22, 2011

Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.

I saw the light you are talking about, but it happened 3 times. I also saw a red light circling around the 3 bright light. No sound. Looked like a bonfire in the sky.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, so glad you are following through on this kind of stuff. I live in Victoria, and was visiting my friend who lives on (street name removed) Street in Chemainus (across from the Elementary School). The lights were due south, above the tree line of the Elementary School, very close and visible.

I saw one glowing ball, like a bonfire in the sky. It lit up the clouds around it, or the clouds were smoke coming from the fire. It glowed for about 4 minuets then just slowly faded. Another light just like it lit up about a minute later, about 100 metres from the first one.

Same thing, like a bonfire in the sky for about 4 minutes, then it faded. About a minute passed and a third light lit up the sky, about 100 metres from where the second light was. This time, though, I noticed a red light circling around the flaming ball, like it was monitoring it. I thought, is that an airplane, but when I went outside, there was no sound.

Just a circling red light around a bonfire in the sky. Then, the third light slowly extinguished.

Would love to hear what you find out. I can't believe more people didn't see it. It was so bright!

Bright Orange Ball Of Light Looked Like Flames Hanging In The Sky Over Ladysmith British Columbia

Date: January 22, 2011

Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.

(Vike Factor Note) I have received a number of reports on this sighting of a orange ball of light over a part of Vancouver Island here in British Columbia. Trying to figure it out and come up with an answer for the folks who sent reports in.

Hi Brian, I saw your other postings on the orange ball near Ladysmith and thought I'd share ours. We were driving down to Victoria from Nanaimo at around 7:00pm on January 22rd, 2011, along the Trans Canada highway when we saw a bright orange light that looked to me to be flames hanging in the sky. We were close to the Nanaimo airport at the time, so initially we thought it was a plane making an emergency landing that was on fire.

It seemed to move across the sky west to east. It was very bright and orange. There also seemed to be some flashes on the clouds above. We drove on and it was intermittently disappearing and than lighting up again. We've done some digging around and we found out there is a type of flare that releases a small parachute that slowly carries it down, so this would probably make sense, including the flashes on the clouds above when it dropped to the cloud.

There was also something about a paraglider rescue at the time. Can you confirm this? Anyways, I took a short video of it with my camera before the battery died, but its 200mb, so I can't send it to you. Looks like a round ball of light in the video.

Time: 6:45 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Horizontal line.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was with my boyfriend in the car, when he turned around and saw a bright orange line. It was a horizontal line and it was also brighter in the middle and a little wider. It was obviously not a contrail or a shooting stars. It stayed there for a couple minutes from the moment when we saw it.

We watched it for 3 minutes and then it slowly dissipated, after slowly regained it’s brightness for another couple minutes and then dissipated until it completely disappeared. It was a cloudy night with almost no stars and we couldn't see the moon, only this thing. We also saw two similar white lights, but they were alot smaller and alot dimmer. When the orange light disappeared 2 minutes after, they started to disappear as well.

Unusual Blinding Brilliant Orange Lights Over Cobble Hill British Columbia

Date: January 22, 2011

Time: Time:

Hi there Brian, I live in Cobble Hill and last night, night of 22nd January 2011 I went outside and I saw some brilliant orange lights in the sky. Could not get a good look as they were obscured by trees, but it appeared to dip down and then up again and possibly divided and rejoined.

Anyway, they were very bright, so bright that I had to look away at one point for fear of burning my eyes like a welding arc, but orangey and appeared to be mobile to some degree.

Bright Orange Light Hovering Over Ladysmith Harbour Ladysmith British Columbia

Date: January 22, 2011

Time: Approx: 7:35 p.m.

Brian, I was heading west on Cedar Road, ready to turn right onto the Highway near Cassidy airport on Vancouver Island. In the corner of my eye I saw this orange light that appeared to be hovering over Ladysmith Harbour; this was approximately 19:35 hrs. I have seen these lights before.

My whole family witnessed what were explained as flares over the North Shore Mountains January 21, 1990. I stayed for about 20 minutes watching lights appear, then move horizontally east. Then they moved south and disappeared.

They dimmed then became bright, then faded but still appeared visible as somewhat red and round. I'm wondering what military or coast guard action was going on in this area at that time as they must have been flares?

Fast Moving Round Glowing Object Over Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia

Date: January 22, 2011
Time: 9:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: The sphere was spotted by my uncle, flying in an effortless motion in the night sky over the east coast of Cape Breton last night at 9:15. The light was quite large and was very different from the usual things spotted in our very dark sky's, such as stars, planes etc.

It was traveling pretty fast on a scale of one to ten in speed, it was about a seven. It was traveling from north to south and before it was out of sight it seemed to blink off and disappeared. When he returned home there were messages on his answering machine from some family and friends, saying that they had seen something very odd in the sky.

After speaking with them it was determined that they too had seen the same glowing object in the sky.

I was contacted by my uncle, due to my knowledge and understanding of these phenomenon's. I have spent the last 9 years researching and examining sightings.
