Triangular Craft/UFO With Three Lights One In Each Corner Bangalore Karnataka India

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 10, 2001

Time:  Midnight

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.

Full Description of event/sighting: It was April end, but I can't remember the exact date. Even it has been more than 6 years I am submitting this information to you because at that time I didn't know of such internet facilities and don't know that UFO are available online. So let me start my story. I and my 2 friends were sitting outside in front of our room in Dharwad (a city in Karnataka in India). I was studying my secondary in this city and I was staying with my roommates in the room. We were sitting outside our room on the road. There was a heap of sand on the road which was put for some construction work.

I and my two friends were chatting about some matters. Suddenly our room owners son came out of his house to go to the washroom. He was doing his business on the road and we were teasing him. After that we turned our attention and were busy chatting. Suddenly that little boy pointed to the sky and said " See a big Airplane!" he shouted. All at once we all looked at the sky and saw a strange object. It was neither a plane or a helicopter. But was in triangular shape with 3 lights on each end. It was so close that I would have caught it if I was on a second story building.

It was cruising towards a hill on which our college was located. We chased it up to 4-5 minutes, but we couldn't climb the mountain so fast. And it was approximately 30-40km/hr moving faster. At last we climbed the mountain after 20 minutes suspecting that it would have landed on the mountain, but it was not there. It disappeared in the clouds.

That was mind blowing. We were sure it was a UFO (non-human made). The whole night we didn't sleep. The next morning we shared these experiences with our friends, but know one believed us. But we three were confident as to what we witnessed. The next day a Daily News paper reported a UFO sighting, and after that every one believed.

UFO Flew Over Our Heads Bala Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 9, 2007

Time:  1:30 a.m. - 2:30 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Bala Ontario Canada.

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Cliche Saucer.

Full Description of event/sighting: Me and two good friends of mine were enjoying a cloud-free night on my dock. As we sat with our heads tilted back looking at the perfectly clear vision of the heavens. We all found our eyes on a single twinkling star. We looked at it for some time, trying to guess if it was a far off star or a planet within our solar system.

Over a period of time we noticed that it was no longer twinkling, in fact it was flashing two distinct colors, red and blue. As time wore on we then discovered that it was moving down the sky ever so slowly. Over the next five minutes it changed direction and moved across the sky and quickly became so low that we could easily see that it was round and had red white and blue lights flashing around it.

Plane's lights flash two at a time and do so symmetrically. This was red, blue, white, white, red, blue, white, white. Each light going around in a circle, spinning. It came over our heads, so close that we could clearly see spaces between the lights. It was about the size of a poker chip, if you were to hold one up over your head and close one eye. Now for something to begin as a star in the sky and then to be so close you can clearly make it out, means something strange is happening. I must add that during the entire process, not a single sound could be heard.

At this point in the night, I ran up to my cottage to tell my father while my two courageous friends stayed to see if anything else would develop. When I returned I was informed that a second had done much of the same thing. While they were telling me about it, we saw a third. It began as a star and eventually came so close we could, again, see these lights going around in a circle as it spun over our heads. Again, not making a single sound.

At this point we felt very uncomfortable and were trying to rationalize what we had just seen, when in my direct line of sight, in the middle of the night sky, just below where we first noticed these stars appearing, I saw a bright flash of light radiate out from a central point and then collapse back in onto itself. It was the size of a dinner plate. Brilliant white light, perfectly symmetrical in its clean circular shape, expanding outwards and then collapsing in onto itself. While I saw it directly, my two friends saw it within their peripheral vision, I am glad of that.

What we saw was too low for a satellite and much, much, much too silent for any conventional aircraft. Also I could only describe the 3 formations of light as the clichéd saucer which I am not happy about, because although I know what I saw was what I saw... a cliché is still a cliché. I find myself looking at the sky every night now, and constantly researching on the internet to see if anyone else saw this.

Thank you to the witness for the excellent report.

Fluorescent Ball Of Light Crossed Our Path 30 Feet Away Western Maine

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Greetings Brian, Thanks for your reply and valued opinions. I am a retired scientist and during my long camping trips in a remote area of western Maine, I like to read about natural science and try to put the pieces together.

My son and I were on a trip about 25 years ago at that location during the winter. On a cold still night, we went for a walk after supper and as we walked down the road, a ball of fluorescent light, maybe 2 feet in diameter crossed our path about 30 feet away.

We were both quite surprised and watched it move off into the forest. We immediately looked for any signs in the fresh snow but found nothing. We proceeded down the road for a while, then turned to return.

When we approached the same area, the light appeared again, crossed our path and disappeared into the forest. At that point, my young son  became scared since we were over 5 miles away from anyone else.

I have never seen anything like it again and I often walk after dark. Actually, I am leaving tomorrow morning for a week of XC skiing and snowshoeing in that area. I don't think this experience qualifies as a UFO sighting, but it was certainly unusual and unexplainable.

Maybe if we keep reading, observing and analyzing we can put the pieces together. Life sure is interesting. Sincerely. 

Thank you to the witness for their report.

UFO Moves Erratically Over Armstrong Manitoba

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 17, 2007

Time:  Approximately: 11:20 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Armstrong, MB.

Number of witnesses: 6
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Circles.

Full Description of event/sighting: My friends and I were having a bonfire outside. The sky was super clear and all the stars were very visible, and like usual I would gaze out into the stars, staring at the big dipper.

Then I noticed something weird. Just over to the west I saw a blinking light, at which I was sure was a satellite. Then it stopped and slowly went east, then as fast as I could see, it shot downwards to the S/W just over the Skylake pig barns. It must have been at least 50 feet off the ground, just over the tree-line. My friends saw me staring and they saw it too.

We all ran into the house to tell my parents but my Aunty came outside instead, at first she didn't believe it. But then now everyone was outside, the light slowly moved up and down then side to side and changing colors.

The colors I've never even seen before, but the weird thing was on both sides of the sky we saw 4 blinking lights headed towards the object. All of a sudden the light vanished, but appeared just over the field in the back yard and then shot up. The blinking lights also vanished also.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

4 Or 5 Fighter Jets Circling Unknown Craft/UFO Over Arizona

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Winter of 1995 - 1996.

Here's a report in the public domain for the first time: During the winter of 1995 - 1996, while on a cross country bicycle trip I observed a 'craft' that were of a type previously unknown to me.

I had set up camp near an abandoned adobe house that was located near the U.S./Mexico border in the state of Arizona. As was my custom, while on this particular trip, I camped out most nights and would seek and or create a campsite that was somewhat difficult to see from any roads or highways, because this trip was a solo bicycle ride.

After having my evening meal I was enjoying the pleasure of watching the sunset. A black Chevy blazer with black tinted windows, one occupant and U.S. government license plates drove down an adjacent unpaved road and approached a locked gate.

The driver got out, unlocked the gate and passed through and relocked it. He began what I'd refer to as a 'recon' of the general area, using some sort of optical devise (I saw this through 8x35 Nikon binoculars). He continued this behavior, driving outside of my visual range, until the Blazer returned to the gate and passed through again. 


I thought that perhaps he was searching for illegals crossing the border. Later on that night, while I was doing some star gazing I saw an amber colored light moving low in the desert sky, within a few moments it seemed to become larger or move towards my location, nether of which I was sure of at that time.

I checked my watch for the time and when I looked up again, the amber light moved slightly to the east, at which that time I felt sure the light was moving towards me.

This light began to have some definition, as it drew closer it appeared to be rectangular and although it seemed to grow brighter, it was not illuminating the desert floor (from my ground-level perspective). I began to feel alarmed as it came closer to me, as it seemed to be very, very large. 

When it got close to approximately 120 yards of my location I took out my 'AA' cell flashlight, focused the beam as tightly as I could and aimed it towards the "craft" while sending a Morse code message.

This seemed kind of silly, but this is what I did. The rectangle amber light 'turned off' right after I did this. In a few seconds, perhaps as many as 45, my night vision began to return and I was astounded to see starlight being blocked out in a large area of the sky adjacent to the place where I'd last seen the intense amber light.

It was clear to me that I was seeing something very large moving slowly at an altitude of less than 500 feet. I had heard sounds that were similar to the noise of cellophane being crushed while the amber light was on and very close to me, although this sound ceased when the light extinguished.

I watched the 'dark spot' in the sky until I could no longer see it. I felt some adrenaline still coursing through me, after the experience, and decided to stay out watching the sky, since I was sure that I couldn't sleep then.

In about 40 minutes or so I again saw the amber light in the distance to the south and east of camp. This light, however, was more distant and was of the same color, yet it was coming from the top and bottom of what was clearly an airborne craft of some sort.

The amber light was seen by me to resemble long, thin 'cones' of beams' (like a flashlight beam) issuing from the center top and bottom of the craft. I could see 4 or 5 fighter jets circling in helix-type orbits around one object. 

A moment later, another object 'turned on' it's amber lights nearby (within approximately 1 mile) the object that I was observing. It too was being circled by fighter aircraft.

I watched this going on for 15 minutes, then the objects began to appear in different area of the sky (by 'appear' I mean they would 'turn on' the amber beams) momentarily and then 'shut off' the amber lights, only to appear somewhere else in the sky.

There was one instance where one of the objects lights appeared to 'shutter' for a moment, light fully, and 'shutter again. The size of these objects (I saw 3 at the same time only once, 2 at the same time over 5 times) dwarfed the fighter aircraft around them.

At one point, I observed what I'd best describe as a 'plume', similar to a small rocket plum, issue from the center axis of the outside curve of the object, and although I really don't know what it was, it seemed to be a rocket being fired from the object. 

The trajectory of this 'plume' was perpendicular to the horizon, and after moving not much more than 100 yards, turned 90 degrees downward and it's light ceased. I am most curious to inquire if anyone else observed these things, or has seen similar objects in the same area.

 This was not the first time that I've been in close proximity to unknown aircraft, but the others I've seen were not of the same type as these described here, and I have a general feeling that the objects I describe in this post may be of military design or origin.

I have left out some details of the general shape and size of this 'craft' so that I may be able to discuss them with someone else who also saw the same events as I.

Thanks to Dan for his report. If anyone else has been witness to a unknown object of this kind as described here, would you please contact Brian Vike at brian_vike@telus.net for further investigation.

Classic Shaped Saucer Followed By F16’s Jet Fighters Arab Alabama

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Approximately 2003 (?)

Time:  Approximately 2:00 p.m.

Another sighting that is of great interest to me occurred over my home town 3 years ago witnessed by my good friend.

He was downtown Arab, Alabama on main street outside talking with a couple of friends. It was a bright sunny day around 2:00 p.m. central with few clouds and great visibility.

Suddenly a brilliant classic shaped saucer object that my friend described as a brilliant polished metal gray came into view from the south at a low altitude (his guess was around 2,000 feet).

He said that it was headed north at an unbelievable rate of speed and traversed approximately 180 degrees of the sky in 2 or three seconds. His friends saw it also.

They stood there dumbfounded questioning what they had just seen when about 45-60 seconds later two F16s came screaming past at just under supersonic headed in the flight path of the object.

No news of anything unusual was seen or heard on the news or papers.

Thank you to the person for passing along the information.

300 Foot Long Silver Oval Shaped UFO Anson Maine

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date of Sighting: March 2006

Time of Sighting: Early afternoon.

Location of Sighting: Over a small pond at the intersection of Route. 234 and the Horseback Road.

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Oval.

Full Description of event/sighting: I live in a rural area of Maine about 6 miles from the nearest town. My former fiancé Olivia, who was driving her mother Helen and I were headed to the town of Anson.

As we took a right turn onto the Horseback Road, Helen, who rarely curses, said loudly, "What the hell is that!" she was sitting in the rear drivers side seat. I was in the passenger seat. Olivia stopped the vehicle (1999 Chevy S10 Blazer), and I looked out the drivers window.

Sitting perfectly still in the sky was a huge, about 300 feet long, silver oval shaped something! It looked to be less than 1,000 feet away and was about 50 feet thick. The top of this thing had a reddish glow and the whole thing had markings or corrugations on it. It reminded me of the old Jiffy pop popcorn dome.

This thing made no noise and did not move while we were watching. There were no control surfaces or any kind of cabin or gondola visible and I could see the entire length of it, no ropes or wires either.

The vehicle remained running and no electrical disturbance was noticed. After about 3 minutes Oliva took her foot off the brake and the vehicle started rolling and small stand of evergreens blocked our view for about 10 seconds and when we could see the sky again the thing was gone.

This road has some very clear views of the sky along its length and we kept looking for it, but it was not seen again. It was strange enough an occurrence that you'd think we would have been all abuzz about it, but hardly a word was said for several  hours. 

The next day I drove past the little pond and noticed a round hole in the ice approximately where the thing was hovering. I also noticed a rash on the side of my body that burned and itched for several days, it also hurt, like I had been kicked.

I have talked to people in the area about this sighting and one friend said that he and his sister saw something just like it at the same location 3 years before. Others have seen different things also.

I have also had multiple sightings  at different times as well as 2 incidents with missing time, I will post these later.

Feel free to contact me anytime about this or anything else. Olivia and her mom don't live with me anymore, but they will corroborate the story.

Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Did This Huge Triangular Craft/UFO Black Out My Radio Ancaster Ontario

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  March 13, 2007

Time:  12:35 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Over house on Melanie, Ancaster.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: A line of lights on an angle, chevron in appearance.

Full Description of event/sighting: First thing I would like to say is that I was really shaken by what I saw during the early morning of March 13, 2007. This is my birthday. 

I had just dropped off a friend and was on my way home driving on a street called Amberly. I went to stop at a stop sign on Amberly at Melanie. I looked to my left to notice a huge triangular object approximately 240 feet away from me sitting still over a house. 

The UFO was larger than the house. Several lights were noted on the object and all were appearing to be a reddish colour. My car radio went silent. It was as though the object was staring me down. It looked as though it was starting to come toward me. It suddenly moved rapidly up and down, then quickly out of sight. This was not a jet nor helicopter.

It was huge and I could make it out and identify it as being different than a jet or plane, etc.. I was petrified and raced home to notice that a person in another vehicle on the road was motioning me to stop. I believe to talk about what he had just seen as well.  He looked in disbelief.  I was too much in awe to stop and chat about it. I raced home. Once out of the car, I looked every where to see if it was still around. I was really bothered by it all. 

I called a friend and my father woke up a family member to talk about what I had seen. I turned on radio to listen to the local news station and heard nothing about what I had seen. 

At approximately 1:15 a.m. several jets wanting to land at Mount Hope Airport were heard. My house is over a flight path. One jet after the next was heard, and more than usual. It was like they were held back for a period of time until this "whatever" it was left the area. 

I have held back from reporting this until now, because I have had a bit of a time coming to grips with it all. I have done nothing but researched and read about similar happenings. I am now a believer in all of this.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Large UFO With Windows Over Home And Humming Sound Almont Michigan

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Fall of 1990.

Time:  Approxamtlty 8:00 p.m.

I did report this about 2 years ago to Larry Hatch, I'm not sure why I waited so long, but for some reason it really started to occupy my thoughts. We had several emails about it and he seemed very interested, he eventually referred me to someone from the Michigan Mutual UFO Network, he emailed me a few times and that was it.

To tell you the truth I just felt better telling someone that had an interest in it, but I'm not sure if the guy either believed me, or just wasn't interested. I will give you a brief summery, to me this was the most unusual event in my life and I still think about it daily.

It was the Fall of 1990, yes, 16 years ago! I was in my home in Almont, MI. That time of year it gets dark quite early, it must of been around 8:00 p.m., "the times are now just an approximation".

My son, who at the time was around 12 came running in the house saying there was a UFO right outside our house. Let me add at this point I was not one that believed in UFOs. I went outside and my son pointed south and upwards and said look!

The funny thing was at first I didn't see anything, but I did notice it was unusually dark, then I noticed a very dim light, I suddenly realized that the reason it was so dark was that there was a huge craft right over our driveway.

It was at tree level and was moving north and a very slow pace, "approximately a slow walking speed". There was a very distinct humming, exactly like a large transformers hums, there was a very dull light in the middle and as it traveled down or driveway I made out a row of windows around the craft, the windows looked very large.

I remember walking down the driveway with my son, then the next thing I remember is standing out in the field north of my house still looking at the UFO, when suddenly it went from approximately 90 or 100 feet straight up in the sky to where it was a pinpoint of light. It just looked like another star.

This happened in under a second. We continued to watch it for quite awhile when it took off in a northwesterly direction like a meteor and was gone in a second. There are allot of things I can describe if your interested, but this is the basic part.

I don't feel like I was abducted, but I honestly do not remember how I got from my driveway and then in the field. I ask my son about it and he remembers things the way I do, but what I find unusual is that 1. I didn't really focus on it that much after the initial day it happened until a few years ago. 2. My son doesn't seem as interested as I am, even though he is a very intelligent guy.

I was a flight simulator instructor in the air force and I have allot of knowledge regarding aircraft. This will always go down as the most bizarre day in my life. By the way, it seemed like I was being watched by someone in the window, but it was like you could only make out a shadow.

I am now fascinated by UFO's and I know that there out there. Please, if you have any more questions feel free to ask. Almont is about 20 SE of Brown City. I have never seen another unusual craft. This was defiantly a UFO, there is no other explanation for it, I am the type of guy that checks his facts, there is nothing on our planet that I am aware of that could do what I saw! The pilots would be dead just from the G forces.

It surprises me that there have been so many incidences in that area and I never heard about it. From my house to the field was approximately 1000 feet, " you would think that with what was going on, I would remember that sort of distance".

I am not really concerned weather anyone believes me or not, unless it is someone that is suppose to investigate this sort of thing. They really need to have an open mind and check the facts. The last few years I have gotten increasingly interested in this subject and there have only been a few incidences that I have read about where people have been as close as I was. I guess I am just intrigued. It really fascinates me!

I was so close, 90 feet. The funny thing about it was I didn't feel threatened, In a weird way I felt like it was something from our future, as bizarre as that sounds. I feel that we need to have confidence in our instincts, I felt like I was on display and really being watched.

One thing I didn't mention and to this day I am not sure why I didn't act, is that I am a professional photographer. What a dummy! the shot of a life time and I didn't even think about it. This is another thing I cant explain, I take my cameras everywhere with me.

The first ten years, I would occasionally ask my son if he remembered everything about that night and he would say yes, but not really want to talk about it. It seemed like more of a dream. WHY?

Neither my son or I am the type of person not to act on something so significant, an event of a life time. Another factor about that night was the route the craft was traveling, right down my driveway.

My power lines go right down the drive and sometime that winter I had to call Edison out, they told me that the wires were completely bare" no insulation at all", and had to replace them, including the transformer. I am not sure if it relates, but I have read stories about these craft using power lines.

Thank you to the witness for this excellent and interesting sighting report.

Large Cigar Shaped UFO Appears Over Acacia Ridge Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 3, 2007

Time:  12:10 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Acacia Ridge.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large Cigar Shaped Craft.

 Full Description of event/sighting: On Saturday November 3, I came off the Ipswich motorway and under the bridge and noticed a huge cigar shaped craft immediately.  First I thought it was in direct proportion to 3 Holden blimps joined end on end.  I drove slowly in the traffic gazing at the craft all the time and hardly looking at the road.

I was on Granard Road when I saw it, turned  90 degrees into Beaudesert Road and lost sight of it, and then into Boundary Road where I thought I would be able to see it again, instead, in the sky around the same direction was a large 747 that was only a third of the size of what I saw in the air and the 747 was much closer.

The time was just after midday and it was a very clear sky except for 2 wispy clouds. It was so obvious, I thought others would have reported seeing it too. I have reported it in relation to the November 15th Boundary road sighting. People around that area really should keep their eyes open and a camera ready.

I now don't travel without one. I could have gotten very clear images if I had one and do frequent the area. Will keep my eyes peeled.

I can send an image/graphic depicting the event as a saw it out the front windscreen of the car. Just email if you want it and you will get it in hours. Thanks. I love this site.

Thank you to the witness for the really interesting report.

UFO Fly’s Overtop Jet Airliner Spencer Wisconsin

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Late Spring 2006

Time:  Approximately 9:00 p.m.

I have a few good stories about UFOs and animal paranormal and A dream that came true. Sighting date 2006 late spring.

One UFO story in particular. I was on the phone with a friend outside. This was at night around (9:00 p.m. and I live in Spencer, WI) and watching a jet with red lights fly over going toward the northwest and all of a sudden a star from way up, and I mean way up high, just decided to drop down and fly right over the top of that jet.

The bright light then flew into a near by cloud while the plane disappeared and was out of sight. I could see the UFO’s bright light glowing in that cloud.

A few minutes later the UFO started to move then came out of the cloud and then just turned off and was totally gone. What ever that light was, it obviously was snooping on the jet or dropped down for some other reason.

It was very strange and I heard no noise off the bright light. The jet I did see until it was gone. That was one UFO sighting I won't ever forget. It was very interesting.

Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

Huge Cylindrical UFO 50 Miles North Laredo Texas Over Rio Grande River

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 3, 2006

Time:  10:15 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large, cylindrical/with skids underneath.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was patrolling slowly along the dirt road that parallels the river, as I was on Border patrol with the Texas Minutemen. I was driving slowly along the road, which was quite muddy as we had just had a lot of rain. 

I was stopping often, and observing the country and brush with my binoculars as I was looking for illegal aliens. I had started patrolling around 7:00 a.m. that morning, going northward at an average speed of maybe 15 mph, as the road was rough, and I stopped periodically to glass large vistas. 

At about 10:15 a.m. I was pulled over, with my engine shut off, and was observing a large panorama from a small hill I was on top of, as the road made it’s way along the Rio Grande River, about a mile or two off to my left. 

Weather was fair, with broken, large white cumulus clouds. My attention was drawn to a flash of sunlight from up in the sky to the northwest of my position. I observed an object in the sky at an elevation of approximately 1/2 mile above the ground.

It was hard to tell with my naked eye what it was, so I threw my 10X50 binoculars up on it and was shocked by what I saw! The object was huge! It was about 10-12 miles away, but was still huge in the glasses. 

The closest thing I can compare it to would be a giant propane tank, like you would see in a propane supply yard. You know, the main tank for filling everything. It appeared to have some kind of structure underneath it, much like the supports under a giant propane tank. 

What was amazing, was that the object was just sitting there, absolutely motionless, with clouds rolling right past it, and on either side of it.  It was hovering absolutely motionless in the sky. 

I watched it for about 5 minutes or so, and finally remembered that I had my camcorder with me, and tried shooting the object, but clouds had enveloped it by the time I got it ready to roll. By the time the clouds cleared in the area again, the object had disappeared. 

This object was much to large to have been a blimp, of which I have seen many. The object had some kind of writing, or a symbol on its nose, that looked black. Object appeared to be metallic. Object had to be at least 100 feet long, or longer.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

Date:  Around 1999, 2000.

I was just goofing off blowing some idle time looking for any recent news or articles regarding claims of UFO sightings and a link brought me to your sight. First thing I see is this illustration of what someone else had reported seeing. Then it hit me! This looks like something I saw.

Around 1999 perhaps 2000, I can’t be sure. I know I documented it, but I can’t remember where and when. Kind of like writing down a password and forgetting where you put it so documenting it did me no service. I will never ever forget the event in my life.

I was working in a retirement home and I had to go outside and smoke a cigarette out by the front of our facility. I was in charge of the desk on the night shift up until midnight. Everyone was asleep, or at least none of the residents were out and about.

The time frame I would estimate must have been somewhere between 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. I was online with my laptop in my office. I wasn't suppose to be online and generally I would have disconnected and put away my laptop long before the next staff members came on shift and would never setup the laptop until well after all the residents and other staff were gone except our nurse. She was ok about me being online.

So I am standing outside and its dark and the sky is clear. I would be facing east towards the SFO international airports general area, but I glanced southward and saw something very strange. I couldn't make it out, but it was big.

My first impression was a giant plastic grocery bag falling from the sky. I assumed my eyes were playing tricks on me, but I got the sense that it not exactly a hard form but it was far away. I’d say at least who knows? A mile or more? I don't have a sense of measurement that's scientifically accurate. However you see planes all the time and after a while you kind of get to figure size and heights and distances.

My guess would have been a couple miles south. I was in the town of Millbrae California and this would have put this object as coming down somewhere over Burlingame. I recall looking around for anyone who might be out and about. The lot around the company was empty of people and the nurse somewhere off in our building doing her rounds.

I didn't want to walk away for a moment unless I loose sight of this. I watched it carefully and going through my mind as fast as possible trying to relate it to anything. I even thought it might be a sign torn loose from one of those small planes that passed over with advertisements. Yet that didn't make sense. It was night. Who would be flying around with one of those. No one could see it.

After a good 5 minutes of what appeared as this objects descending it seemed to level off. Sure enough it was moving towards my area. Towards me or across my path. I was frozen in place, my eyes affixed on this object and as it grew closer it seemed larger. Of course what doesn't seem larger as it gets closer. 

I did not see any lights and the object no longer looked like this grocery bag or bed sheet fall from the sky. It was like a massive grayish/whitish thing moving slowly across the sky. It was at I’d guess a 45 degree angle from where I stood looking up at the sky.

I remember having the most difficulty discerning a shape. The body seemed to be changing or perhaps something was moving over it like steam or clouds of steam. I could not make out a solid defined form. It was kind of rectangular at once them oblong another moment. It was sure as hell not a cloud. Nothing had I seen in my life move like this.

As it crossed the sky and got where it was in front of me overhead. I would say maybe it was 1000 feet up. I remember wondering why no one else saw this. Why traffic hadn't stopped. I wasn't right on the main strip and had limited view of traffic and it was night so it would make sense that drivers aren't looking up when they are driving.

My guess was that this object was as big if not bigger than the building I worked in. Which was about 3-5 stories tall. I can’t remember and spread over a good block. Hell of a lot bigger than anything I had ever seen flying.

When it was somewhat dead in front of me at that 45 degree angle which might have put it just over the SFO (San Fran National Airport) it started to go back up into the sky. It was rising and I watched it until it appeared to look like a tiny star. A twinkle in the sky. Then the little star like object started back in the same direction from which it came.

When it was far away and the street lights glare caused me to loose sight of it, I ran back into the building and called my wife who lived in Burlingame. Our apartment faced in the same direction as the place I worked. I asked her to look out over towards the bay with my binoculars and see if you could spot what appeared to be a star moving across the sky. She went outside and did see it and watched it until it was well out of her range. My only witness! 

One month before this event my wife and I were standing outside our apartment building looking up at sky in the same general direction, but it was partially cloudy night. I saw something cut through the clouds fast as all hell. I was completely caught off guard and I watched the clouds and caught a second glimpse of it heading away from me towards Millbrae very fast.

My first immediate thought was maybe I’d seen an owl, but it was too  big and it didn't look like it had wings. I concluded no owl could ever move that fast. My second glance assured me this was way to huge to be any thing other than an object in flight. Yet with the clouds giving me only two separate one second glances I was at a total loss to conclude anything about what I had seen. 

I assumed the second sight was related to the first. But the second flight the object was moving super slow. It took a good 15 minutes from when I first spotted it until when it became a star like object. I took about 20 minutes to walk home one night from my Millbrae work sight to my home. So you can imagine the speed was incredibly slow.

I remember going back into the building and telling my friends online what I saw. I was immediately the comic hit of the hour. It changed me. I can no longer go out at night without looking up and studying the sky. My one friend called it the magic bed sheet. But what struck me about your illustration was picture if turned face forward with the rear turned up and front faced down. From far away at night it might look like a plastic grocery bag with the tail being the handles.

I have told this story many times to many individuals, but I have never contacted anyone in the media. As a witness of how many of these stories are treated I had no desire to become a public object of someone's humor and no interest in any publicity. I believe I saw something that highly likely was not from around this planet. I am not a college schooled person or hold a degree, but I am self educated and very informed.

I have vast knowledge of many things and so I am fully capable of critical and objective thinking. I do know that I do not know the source of that object or have any knowledge of anything that resembles that object with the capabilities of flying in the manner it did. Note this. The object was on a definite flight path. It did not swerve. It maintained a specific distance from the ground to the sky and flew in a straight path. So I knew at a certain point this was not an object falling from the sky.

This was an object that was being directed in a specific controlled direction. I had seen planes go over my building  but not in the same flight path. The path would have somewhat followed the path of the 101 freeway from the south to the North then returned south. The actual path id have to get out a compass to be more accurate. I just know I saw the planes head out more towards the San Mateo bridge aka the 92 freeway. 

To the best of my knowledge no planes flew that path leaving or entering the airport ever. No planes leaving or entering the airport could be mistaken for anything other than an airplane. I wasn't more than a mile from away from the airfields. The planes are loud and low flying over.  Under no circumstances could this object have a plane of any sort that I have ever heard of ever. I know of nothing that could fly that slow and yet climb that high to the point it appeared to be a tiny star. It had no discernable lights! How would it get its light at night so that you could see it? Reflected light from the sun or the moon? 

I did finally catch up with the nurse in the building. It was about 6 months later she called me and told me there was a story on TV about someone who had seen something similar to what I had described. I was not in my home at the time of the call and not able to catch the broadcast but she remembered my story and wanted to let me know that perhaps there was a lot more to this than just what I had seen.  Validating my sighting basically.

I'd say a week didn't go by before I went to one of the electronic outlets and purchased myself a movie camera with night vision and kept it in the back of my car for many months in hopes that I might again get another glimpse. I never did see anything like it again. I still reside in the Burlingame area. I still look at the sky with intensity and an excited hope of seeing something or anything ever again. Now all I do is see what I guess to be satellites moving across the heavens. Some fast some slow and an occasional shooting star.

I don't know anything about you or your organization. I do not specifically follow UFO sightings. I am curious when I do hear or come across something specifically if it resembles anything like what I had seen. I am fascinated by knowledge of the heavens and the sciences around it. I do believe that it is highly unlikely that the human race is the only race of beings in the universe.

Given the scope of the universe and the variances and similarities of various galaxies there is a good chance we are anything but alone. I suspect that other life forms out there may know of us and perhaps who knows they are just watching us like any scientist might watch changes in any subject of interest. Its all speculation without concrete evidence. 

I am sharing this with you and I hope you find it useful. I apologize for my lack of skills in writing a fluid grammatically correct synopsis for you to analyze. I just write as my meager mind lets it flow.  

Thank you to the witnesses for the report.

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.
