From Brian Vike Retired UFO Investigator - Merry Christmas And I Hope You All Have A Wonderful New Year


 Well I have to say I am enjoying all the free time I have on my hands. I do miss looking into the UFO cases that came in, but honestly I started giving up the passion I once had for the topic. This was mainly due to the amount of sighting reports that were coming in before I pulled the plug.

I always believed If people are kind enough to write up their sighting report and send it along, then I should most certainly reply and do some checking into the sightings that have a little more meat to them. It finally got to the point where so much was pouring into the inbox, I through my hands up and said to heck with this.

Last January 2013 just a hair over 700 sighting reports came in for that month. Plus health issues had me thinking it was time to quit. So I did.

Since I packed it in, sighting reports still rolled in, not near as much as I once was receiving, but still a lot of sighting reports. What I did with these reports was to send them directly to William “Bill” Puckett in the United States for the American sightings.

Bill can be found at: UFOs Northwest http://www.ufosnw.com/newsite/ and then all the Canadian sighting reports I received went directly to Chris Rutkowski at: Ufology Research of Manitoba http://uforum.blogspot.ca/

From there I started playing computer games. –:

Anyway, over the years in my province of British Columbia, Canada there was a major UFO wave that took take place in 2002 and 2003 with sightings of all kinds of odd UFOs being witnessed by one person, up to over 200 people who observed one huge UFO event. What I have decided to do is to write up a large detailed report on the two years of amazing sightings and I will post the report later in 2014.

Other than that, I will be sitting back and reading what others are reporting. Again I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming New Year.

The Vike Factor – Posting Of Brian Vike’s Major UFO Cases (The Vike Files)


Posted:  October 24, 2013

Important Notice: Brian Vike, Canadian UFO investigator and owner of “The Vike Factor”, “The Vike Report Radio Show" and editor of the “Canadian Communicator Magazine” and past owner of HBCC UFO Research has been re-posting his large UFO cases on the main blog.

A lot of these cases have audio reports (telephone interviews Brian Vike did with eyewitnesses) which can give a lot more detail to a UFO sighting than just the text report.

From the two year major UFO flap in British Columbia and other large cases all across Canada, the United States and Worldwide, Brian Vike brings sighting reports of unusual lights, saucer shaped UFOs, gigantic football sized Black Triangle craft, military sightings around sensitive bases and on and on it goes.

Brian received “thousands” of sighting reports over the years and so many of them turned out to be amazing cases.

All of these reports are now being posted and can be found at: 

I thank everyone who filed their sighting as they were all so very interesting.

The Castle Project: Denver’s Haunted Mansion


Did Someone Say Halloween?

Coming to DVD and Digital Platforms (VOD) on October 1, 2013

Los Angeles, CA (September 25, 2013) – Would you buy a  haunted house if it came on the market? Despite a colorful history involving tales of Satanism, mysterious deaths, eerie noises and ghostly sightings, architect Brian Higgins and business partner Travis McAfoos were compelled to purchase the 19th century Croke-Patterson mansion in Denver, Colorado. The Castle Project: Colorado’s Haunted Mansion is their odyssey into the paranormal as they renovate the stately brick mansion into a bed & breakfast. The documentary film will be available on DVD and VOD platforms on October 1, 2013, just in time for Halloween!

The building’s most notable haunting activity occurred during the 1970’s when the dwelling was undergoing renovations to convert it into office space, which some believed to have disturbed the spirits. After completing work, the construction crews would return the following day to find their work from the day before, undone.  After several instances, the contractor purchased a pair of Doberman Pinschers as guard dogs.  Soon after, the workers arrived to find the dogs lying dead on the sidewalk after jumping from a closed third floor window.

It wasn’t long into the more modern renovations that architect Higgins’ crew started to notice some odd occurrences and he picked up a camera, resulting in his directorial debut. “Once I had read all the stories on the Internet of the Croke-Patterson Mansion, I realized that somebody needed to make a movie about this.  It seems like every past owner I came in contact with had a story to tell.  Could there possibly be any truth to these stories?” says director Brian Higgins.

At the outset, Higgins set up a camera doubtful of discovering anything. After the discovery of a dead, mutilated cat followed by workers who claimed to have seen of ghostly apparitions, he moves into one of the upstairs bedroom, by his lonesome while the camera records.  Soon, bats are appearing from nowhere and he hears whispering voices through the halls.  And then there’s an unexplained fire.  Is the house really haunted?

Architectural clues and artifacts found within the walls and foundations allude to a very “otherworldly” blueprint and soon the paranormal investigators and spiritual experts are brought in to investigate.

 Synopsis:

The historic Croke-Patterson Mansion in Denver, Colorado was long-rumored to be haunted by the cries of babies buried in the basement. The original owner built the Chateauesque-style home in 1891 and lived there for six months before falling victim to the Silver Crash of 1893. Ill fortune visited upon subsequent owners during the 120-year‐long history of the house as they experienced otherworldly phenomena that included apparitions, whispering voices, peculiar odors, failed exorcisms and guard dogs jumping through windows to their death.

When architect Brian Higgins and partners purchase the home for renovation, they are skeptical of the home’s tragic past. But soon workers begin to experience sightings of ghostly children, unusual temperature changes and whispering voices. Workers fall ill and one team member dies while an unexplained fire threatens the project’s completion. Paranormal investigators are brought in and they identify several generations of spirits who remain trapped in the house.

Higgins had the foresight to begin filming, and after several hair‐raising nights spent alone in the building he began to wonder if there was a reason why souls never checked out at the Croke‐Patterson Mansion.

UFO Sighting Over Nat Bailey Stadium In Vancouver British Columbia Canada (Video Footage/Hoax)



The internet is running wild over a alleged sighting of a UFO seen at Nat Bailey Stadium In Vancouver British Columbia Canada. Video footage and still pictures were taken of the craft. Turns out it was nothing more than a hoax. The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is trying to attract attention to the new and improved centre.

So a marketing scheme this turned out to be.

No real UFO flying that day in the area, just a model craft which appeared to look exactly like the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.

Watch: ‘UFO sighting’ over Nat Bailey stadium was a sneaky marketing trick - http://globalnews.ca/news/831782/watch-ufo-sighting-over-nat-bailey-stadium-was-a-hoax-staged-by-the-h-r-macmillan-space-centre/

Deep Cove North Vancouver British Columbia Possible UFO Caught On Film (Picture)


Brian Vike is retired from the UFO field. This report and photo is being posted as a favor to the fellow who sent it in. Anything in the way of sightings, I forward them on so the cases can get looked into.

UFO HOAX Drummed up by H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia

This sighting turned out to be nothing more than a HOAX. The sad part about this is, the people who put this hoax together were from the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. 

It is pretty bad when a great place such as the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre pulls something like this to drum up business. When I lived in Vancouver, B.C. I spent much of my time at the H.R. MacMillan Planetarium as it was named many years ago. 

An astronomer I got to know even brought my large telescope in through the Planetarium. So for me, this is rather sad, it isn’t the end of the world of course, just sad to see a place such as this do something so stupid.

They even sent the photo and report directly to me for posting, which I did. But when I later replied to them about this being a hoax after the news brought out the story on it, no one had the decency to reply. That ticked me off.

Time:  Approx: 8:13 p.m.

Hi, my name is (removed). I was wondering if you'd post my UFO sighting on your blog. I recently saw the attached sighting in Deep Cove, while looking at the Deep Cove Kayak Club weather camera.

As I was checking a local weather camera for the Deep Cove Kayak Club, I noticed that there was an object floating off in the distance. It looked relatively large and had a distinct shape to it.

Picture Left: View from the rental store, overlooking Deep Cove. Monday August 26, 2013 at 8:13 p.m.

It also had a dim, white glow to it. I've never seen anything like it. By the time the next camera image loaded, the UFO was gone. The shape was too defined for it to be the product of a strange camera flare. It had to be a UFO.

The image is attached. Thank you for taking the time to look it over. Please respond to me to let me know what your thoughts were on this sighting.

The 2012 Canadian UFO Survey - Record Breaking Year



The 2012 Canadian UFO Survey an analysis of UFO reports in Canada. Compiled by Geoff Dittman and Chris A. Rutkowski

The 2012 Survey Released May 12, 2013.
Since 1989, UFOlogy Research of Manitoba has solicited sightings data from active Canadian researchers. This data is annually compiled into the "Canadian UFO Survey." The survey is made publicly available in an attempt to promote the dissemination of information across the field of ufology. This page contains many of the surveys, as well as the data.

The "Survey Essay" page contains just that; the essays produced each year summarizing the findings of the survey for that year, along with explanations of trends, as well as describing some of the more interesting cases for each year.

The "Search The Database" link is currently inactive. In the future, the complete database will be put on the web, allowing any users to search the database for sightings based on the criteria of their choosing.

The "Data Tables" page contains the raw data, in html table format, for most of the Survey years. Basic data, such as date, time, number of witnesses, etc. is listed, as well as a very limited general description of each sighting. Right now we have the basic data for most years up on the web page, but are currently missing 1989, 1992, and 2009 on the website. We hope to get that data online sometime in the near future.

The "Charts" page contains assorted charts summarizing the data over the years. One can find such things as the distribution of sightings by province, time of day, etc. The charts are in .gif format.With respect to the charts, there is a trade-off that must be made. If one is to be able to view the results of the different variables being measured, the chart is frequently too large to fit on the monitor, and one has to scroll left or right to view the entire results.

Shrinking the charts to fit the screen, while making the entire chart as a whole visable, makes it difficult to actually interpret the chart, as the labels become too small. I have chosen to forsake convenience and make the charts large enough that one can actually read the results.

Given this, the various charts are best viewed with the latest version of Internet Explorer, as it gives you the ability to easily resize the images. Printing the charts using I.E. seems to work well too. With Netscape however, some of the charts don't print on a single page, and either come out on two pages, or it simply cuts off a portion of the chart.

The "Testimonies" page is currently inactive, but will contain eyewitness accounts, in the own words of the witnesses.

If you go to the home of the Canadian UFO Survey, you can find out everything on what the survey is about, and a complete break down/explanation.

Brian Vike Finally Retires From The UFO Topic


I finally have to give up on investigating UFO sightings. As I mentioned to a colleague, I have a great run looking into UFO sightings, met some wonderful people along the way and over the years I received thousands upon thousands of UFO sighting reports, most I would say were explainable, yet others were truly amazing and certainly remain unexplained.

There were just a few Ufologists that I would thank for their help over the years.

The media, who I would like to thank as well, gosh did they treat me with kindness and took an interest in what I had to say.

But anyway, I will leave the blogs up as an archive and will find a new hobby which doesn’t involve sitting at a computer, I just cannot do anymore.

Thank you again to everyone and take care.

4 Bright White Lights/UFOs In A Square Configuration Over The Water Seen From Royston Vancouver Island British Columbia



Date: March 14, 2013
Time:  Approx: 9:00 p.m.

About 9:00 p.m. this evening east by southeast of Royston, B.C. and approximately 800 meters from the beach and approximately 250 meters above the water I saw 4 medium bright white lights in a square configuration.

They were approximately 10 meters wide with a red light of varying brilliance moving quick and randomly within the parameter of the square. There was no sound.

I observed for approximately 45 seconds when it seemed to shrink and fade very slightly as if receding, then just disappeared.

Sasquatch Lifts Truck Onto It’s Side North Of The Strathcona Dam Campbell River Vancouver Island British Columbia



I live in Campbell River Vancouver Island British Columbia and have had experiences like that person had. You wouldn’t believe I will not go into the woods alone anymore, not even in my truck.

I had my truck lifted and placed on the passenger side one night while parked waiting for a friend just north of the Strathcona Dam right on the Gold River Highway.

Whatever it was ran right back into the bush where it had come from and screamed exactly like the guys on the “Finding Bigfoot” show. I took off right away and called the police and all I got was laughed at since there was no damage done to my truck.

Vike Factor Note: The person who sent this report to me, could you please send an email to me at sighting@telus.net, thanks a bunch.

Orange Lights In The Sky Over Victoria West Vancouver Island British Columbia (Case Solved – Chinese Lanterns)


Date:  March 16, 2013
Time:  Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Vike Factor Note: A witness wrote to me just now and informed me that the orange lights so many people saw were Chinese lanterns. They told me they were released in a ball park in honor of someone’s Birthday. Also it makes good sense that this is what the sighting would have been of, lanterns.

Hi Brian, I live in Victoria West and last night I saw a large number of floating lights in the sky moving from south to north. The movement was not consistent with what I would expect from Chinese Lanterns, although I do consider that to be a possibility.

Quite a few other people in my neighborhood saw as well, this would have been around 2300hrs.

I looked for event postings of Chinese lantern launches in the Vic West/Esquimalt area and found nothing, have you heard any other reports from last night?

Date:  March 16, 2013
Time:  Evening (Approx: 10:45 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)

I was leaving a party last night and I looked up at the sky and saw three orange globes floating in formation and traveling in the same direction towards the west.

I managed to take a picture, but I only captured two of the three.

My name is (name removed) and I live in Sooke, B.C. I will send photo in next email.

12 To 15 And More Bright Orange Lights In The Sky Over Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia (Case Solved – Chinese Lanterns)



Date:  March 16, 2013
Time:  10:45 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 12 to 15 minimum.
Shape of Objects: Between round and oval.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My room-mate came into the house earlier tonight and told me that something strange was flying overhead in the sky. He was very excited, and he dashed through the kitchen and opened the door to the sundeck and stepped outside. I got up from my computer and followed him outside onto the sundeck and looked up into the night sky.

There was a fleet of flying craft of some kind up there, bright orange in color.
They looked like a squadron of planes flying together as if they were in some kind of air show. They followed each other, but not in a single line, but rather in a staggered formation, flying at the same speed together. But it was 10:45 p.m. on a Saturday night, and there wasn't any occasion calling for an air show. I was amazed. I thought they must be American aircraft of some sort, and I stood there next to my room-mate looking up at them in puzzled wonderment.

They were totally silent as they flew; no sound of engines or jet noises or anything. Totally silent. And they were pretty darn close to us, too. Not way far up there like distant stars or satellites, more like aircraft simply flying overhead. But they were bright orange in color. No flickering lights, no on and off lights; each one was identical to the others; they were each bright orange flying craft of some kind.

They came from the direction of Port Angeles, Washington. They came from the southwest and were flying almost directly overhead of us, here in the Victoria West area of Victoria, BC. They were headed northeast. There were 7 or 8 of them up in the sky that I could see at the same time, but that's not counting the ones that my room-mate had already seen fly over before he came into the house to tell me about it.

As I watched, more kept coming. All together I must have seen between 12 and 15 of them. I'm very skeptical of jumping to the conclusion that they were UFO's from outer space, but honestly, I've never seen aircraft that were bright orange like that. I mean the entire craft was orange; not just an orange light on it somewhere. And totally silent. And such a large squadron of them all at once.

After the last of them had flown over, I went back inside and immediately went online to try to see if anyone else was seeing these things flying over the city. But I couldn't find anything at all.

Then I went and turned on the 11 o'clock news, and switched around the different news channels hoping to find something on there about these flying craft in the sky. But nothing. I kept going back outside onto my sundeck to see if there were any more of them, but they were gone. I have no idea what they were, and I wish I knew. Were they military craft of some kind? American or Canadian? Is there any way I can find out what they were, or if anyone else saw them in the sky on Saturday night?

Yellow/Orange Colored Lights Witnessed Over Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia (Case Solved – Chinese Lanterns)



Date:  March 16, 2013
Time:  Approx: 10:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 5-10.
Number of Objects: 4-5
Shape of Objects: Single round lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: As bad as it sounds, we were pre-drinking for a party at a friends house. I had two beers at this point and our group was heading out to head to a house party.

We went outside and one individual in our group "joked" about some UFO's in the sky. I looked up to see four lights in a line, yellow/orange in colour, in the S/E of the sky travelling in an Eastern direction (our location was approximately Selkirk and Arm).

In my head I went through every possible logical explanation first, but the lights were individually moving up and down and at different rates of speed, though keeping a fairly steady line.

To my memory, as this was almost 4 hours ago now, the lights slowly spread apart to create almost a circle, then individually (though almost in pairs?) left in a south-eastern/into the sky direction, up and disappeared from sight. I say in pairs because, two would make the move in a close period of time and disappear, then the other two followed suit.

I tried to film on my cell phone but the footage is garbage at best, and filmed late in the ordeal (about in the formation of the circle?). The whole moment was less than two minutes long from when our group stepped outside, but I wish we had left earlier so I could have see more or later so I would have seen nothing at all.

My mind is racing at the possibilities and I feel like I'm the only one of my friends that is taking this seriously, even though I know they would vouch in a heartbeat.
I hope I'm not the only one that saw this.
Thanks for reading.

Bright White Object Seen Over Mount Boucherie West Kelowna British Columbia


Date:  March 1 or 2, 2013
Time:  Approx: 4:45 p.m.

Hey I saw a bright object in the sky about a week ago in Kelowna, British Columbia over the mountains on the west side. What I saw was a bright glare that got bigger and smaller over a few minutes and eventually it disappeared, not gradually either. I guess there was a bit of media coverage on it as well. Interesting stuff!

Additional Information:

I saw the object on the 1st or 2nd of March around 4:45 p.m. It appeared to be white/bright as sun and it may have been reflecting light off it. At the time I was walking down the water front of east Kelowna and while the object was over Mount Boucherie West Kelowna maybe further in distance.

I had been watching it for a total of 5 minutes before it disappeared. While watching it there was no sign of real direction in which it was traveling. I just saw it get smaller then larger. It was sunny and the sun was setting.

It was definitely lower than a satellite. As for the news coverage, my roommate had told me about something regarding 3 objects around the same time as mine on Castanet. I looked for it and found nothing.

3 Large Low Flying Flat Panel UFOs In Triangular Formation Over Delta British Columbia


Date:  September 2012
Time:  Between 12:00 a.m. – 4:00 a.m.

Hello, this is my unbelievable experience. In September 2012, I was in Delta, British Columbia in the industrial district and it was late night, between 12:00 a.m. – 4:00 a.m. I was outside on the phone with my girlfriend at the time and staring up at the sky. 

All of a sudden what seemed like birds flying in a formation over my head was in fact 3 large flat panel crafts in triangular formation. They flew over me and seemed as if they merged into one as they disappeared over the tree line.

They had no lights, no sound, moved very smoothly and were very stealthy. They were so close that I could see panels on the flat crafts. It was like watching 3 large IPhones with protective cases on. 

Every time I think about it, I question my sanity. I have had 4 other 'distant' UFO experiences, as mainly moving lights in the sky (that I would also be happy to share if you are interested), but nothing this close. I will never forget this experience.

Blue/Yellow UFO Frightens Two People In Kelowna British Columbia

Date:  October 10, 2010
Time:  Approx: 3:00 a.m.

Excellent I have been having trouble finding a place to report a possible UFO sighting as I just went to the local police officers, but they were not much help.

Maybe I could get some opinions on my problem? I had something very strange happen in the early morning of the 10th of October. In-fact, it's so odd I'm questioning my own sanity. This is what happened. I live in Kelowna B.C. and a friend and I went to the Myra Bellevue Provincial Park to overlook the city.

We parked in a perfect spot for a beautiful view. It was approximately 3:00 a.m. and we were feeling very uncomfortable, so we locked our vehicle doors and in my gut I felt something was wrong up there. We both had a feeling like we were being watched, and my friend jokingly said that the location we were in was "an ideal place for the zodiac killer or UFO's to get us". I was not impressed.

There was nobody around the area as it was completely isolated except for my friend and I in the little car. We started talking just about family and what not when all of a sudden two bright flashes of light went off and actually the light was so bright it filled the interior of the vehicle. The entire top of the mountain where we were situated was illuminated by these two flashes.

The first flash was blue in color and not so bright, but the yellow flash was very bright. My friend and I looked at each other in astonishment then we quickly looked around and saw no source from where these flashes came from and we quickly got out of the parking lot. I felt sudden panic take over and I started to hyperventilate (I have never felt panic like that before in my life), and as we were driving down the mountain (a gravel road with many switchbacks) the source of the flashing lights seemed to be following us down the hill.

My friend looked in the rearview mirror and saw a blue light following behind us at tree-top level directly over the road. Then we both started to panic even more, because now it appeared that the light was following us. My friend was looking in the mirror and saw the light implode on itself and disappear.

At this point we had entered cell service and I tried to call my family to tell them what was going on, and where I was, but for some reason the phone was having difficulty connecting. I finally got a hold of my brother, and as I was talking to him on the phone, I looked ahead into the forest, and saw the blue light in the trees with the light filtering out from behind. I thought we were going to die. This was unreal. This was too much.

We got to the bottom of the mountain, and we were safe.

We didn't see anymore lights, and went directly to the police, who said there isn't much they can do, and didn't seem completely convinced in the validity of our story. This is eerie, and is really haunting me. What was it that I saw, and what did it want? If I was the only one who had seen this it wouldn't be so hard to deal with, because maybe I was just going crazy, but my friend shared the experience with me. We don't know what to make of it. Can someone help us make heads or tails of what we saw? When you are a little kid you are told this stuff is not real, but now I am convinced.

In additional to the information above, the witnesses told me the entire sighting lasted approximately 10 to 15 minutes in length.

The witness phoned me on March 7, 2013.

Also they did have trouble starting their car.

Weather conditions at the time were clear.

I did speak to both witnesses to this unusual event, I will do some checking into my files and would like to ask if anyone else may have experienced this same event in Kelowna, B.C. on October 10, 2010, please do write to me with the detail of the sighting.

Additional Information Provided By The Eyewitness:

Hi Brian:

Here are a few clarifications to the Myra Bellevue UFO story, as the Above Top Secret report was written by Ines and didn't include my viewpoint. The following is based on the notes I wrote on my laptop following the incident.

1.  My car was parked near the end of the parking lot facing out over the city of Kelowna.

2. I did not see the source of the initial blue flash that lit up the area, but the flash alerted my attention to my left so I was able to see the source of the yellow flash which illuminated the interior of the car; the source was a yellow stationary light at the very back end of the parking lot, near where the lot tapers into the trail. I watched the yellow light for several seconds before Ines panic provoked me into leaving the area. I had an unusually hard time starting my car before finally getting it going. And I continued down the hill at  a high rate of speed.

3.  Ines tried to call her mom, but was unable to until the pursuing blue light vanished. She called her mom's house and her brother answered who then transferred the call to Ines' mom. This call was lost when we rounded another corner and saw blue light shining at us from in the trees.

4.  After we went down the road farther, and around more switchbacks (near the bottom of the hill), Ines was again able to call her mom, but the call went dead until we got back to the main road (McCulloch Road), and she was able to relay the event to her mom.

5.  Once we reached the main road we decided to drive straight to the main RCMP detachment to report what had transpired.

Light Hovers Then Shoots Downward Over Vancouver British Columbia


Date:  February 25, 2013
Time:  6:27 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Knight at 49th.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: A single light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: The sun had set, but the sky was still light. I was driving westward and between two clouds I noticed a light suddenly appear in the sky.

It was about the size of a helicopter's light hovering above the city. It caught my eye because it was oddly bright in the lite sky. It appeared and hovered for a moment before shooting downward in an angle and disappearing.

I was only able to compare it's size because just to the right of it there was a helicopter moving about.

The Inside Of The Witnesses Home Lit Up In A Flash Of Light At Abbotsford British Columbia


Date:  February 15, 2013
Time:  Around noon time.

Hi Brian, well, I don't know what the heck I saw, but I thought I had seen the flash of the same meteorite that hit Russia, but I'm in Abbotsford, B.C. so I don't know if that's even a possibility.

All I know is that I was standing in my kitchen, talking to my daughter, and all of a sudden my living room/dining room/kitchen area lit up for a brief second, as if the light was trying to come on, on it's own, except my kitchen light was already on.

I have only the one window in my living room, and the dining room and kitchen are in its path of light coming from outside. I'm in a low-rise building on the 4th floor. It was around noon on Friday (February 15, 2013) when this happened (pacific time).

At the time that it happened I had no clue about the asteroid and meteorite happenings, I only found out when my sister told me and then I turned on the news.

That's when it dawned on me that I might have seen the flash of the meteorite (or asteroid, but later I was told that it could not have been the asteroid, as it couldn't be seen by the naked eye).

But now, with all these other reports of meteor sightings, I don't know if I saw the flash of one of those or maybe Flash himself flying by, but I definitely saw something flashing brightly, I just don't know what, since I wasn't looking up at the sky. I wonder if others in the Lower Mainland have seen anything. Good thing my daughter was with me and saw it too, otherwise I would wonder if I was going crazy.

My daughter thought that maybe the sun was reflecting off of someone's windshield, but we live on the 4th floor, and that would not have reached all the way to the kitchen, which is not directly by the window.

Also, I found out that the asteroid past the Earth around noon, pacific time, about the time that we saw the flash of brightness. Could the asteroid have been reflecting the sun's rays into my kitchen as it whizzed by the Earth or something? And are my daughter and I the only ones who witnessed that brief brightness here in Abbotsford?

Hope you can help solve this puzzle. Thanks!

3 Unknown Lights Spotted Flying In The Sky Over Coquitlam British Columbia


Date:  February 19, 2013
Time:  Between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

http://canadaufo.blogspot.ca/2011/04/orangered-lights-over-coquitlam-british.html?m=1

I witnessed the same sort of lights last night (February 19, 2013) between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. I live around Westwood and Kingsway in Coquitlam. I posted on Facebook about what I saw, and a guy from work said his kids seen something as well.

A friend posted a link to this blog and I have to say my experience is almost identical. I could have written it, even down to trying to rationalize what I saw. The lights disappeared one by one with the third light was getting lost in some trees.

There was a V formation as well. I thought there was more lights, but there was only three. I got my girlfriend to come out, but at that point there was only 1 light left. She thought it was a helicopter at first, but the way it moved and there being no sound, she was perplexed as I was. Sorry if I seem to be rambling, but I have no idea what it was we saw.

Dark Orange Spherical Object Filmed Over Vancouver British Columbia (Video Footage)


Date:  February 26, 2013
Time:  Approx: 7:00 p.m.

Hi Brian, this sighting occurred last night around 7:00 p.m. I was watching TV and suddenly I noticed a bright orange amber light in the sky about 1000 to 1500 feet up and initially I thought it was a Chinese lantern, so you can imagine what it looked like, but higher up.

Soon I realized this was not a balloon or Chinese lantern, but an actual UFO, similar to what I filmed last year in night vision, but going the opposite direction. This spherical object I captured with my NV monocular was traveling initially at about 10 mph then when I lost view of it, it began to speed up a bit, but not much, traveling quite slow.

I was able to make out the shape of the craft, spherical and dark orange amber when it dimmed and then strobed very slow, then I lost sight of it because it was traveling away from me so I grabbed my NV monocular and videotaped about 6 minutes of this object slowly traveling from the west of the City over downtown and to North Vancouver area.

Amazing night and I captured another 2 objects higher up traveling in formation and then they split up , one of them increased speed and changed direction.

Wondering if you received many more sightings on Monday, very curious since it was a dramatic night. Attached is the link to the video. Thanks again Brian.

Massive Orange And Red Light UFO Sightings Coming Into Brian Vike At The Vike Factor


Posted: February 18, 2013.

I have been investigating UFO sightings now since mid 2000. When I started up, things were very slow. A report trickled in from time to time, and it was exciting to see. As the months passed, sighting reports were being filed to me more frequently.

Back then I was hard pressed to see many orange/red light sightings at all. Most reports that came in were about unusual craft, people seeing white lights etc., and a few orange objects and some other weird things.  But again, as the years moved on, I did start seeing more and more orange/red light sightings coming in, but most were from Asian countries where they do celebrate different occasions using Chinese/Sky lanterns.

Then a shift started and the reports of these lights began showing up in the UK, slowly at first then increasing by great numbers. It got to the point where orange lights were the subject of most of the sightings I was receiving.

A year or two following the invasion of orange lights in the United Kingdom, I started receiving more and more reports of the lights in Canada. Most of those came from back east in Ontario. Then it spread out across Canada, and still, Ontario remained on top for these sightings probably due to the larger population there, and to this date, huge numbers of sightings of these lights are still piling in. Also at that time, reports of the lights started showing up all along the east coast of the United States. It really was and still is, fascinating to actually see how the orange/red lights spread across the land.

Now, most of the time I receive anywhere from 10 to 20 or more sighting reports per day from people who are seeing these colored lights, meteors and some UFOs. It really is something to see how this all unfolded.

In a recent report, an answer was found to a sighting of a orange ball of light seen over Buena Vista Baja California Sur Mexico.

Here is a link to that story, with an update from the eyewitness who found the evidence that the sighting was indeed a Chinese lantern. The remains were located on the beach, having been washed up on shore as the sighting had taken place over the ocean.
http://worldufos.blogspot.ca/2013/02/large-glowing-orange-ball-of-light-over.html

Pictures of the washed up lantern debris are below.



I have received reports of orange lights from people where they were able to figure out what they saw, after the orange light burnt out and fell into the witnesses yard.

I personally believe most of the orange light sightings are Chinese lanterns, but the problem is finding the proof. The lanterns do come down, but so many fall in wooded areas, lakes, oceans, rivers, yards, etc. When people watch the lights travel over head or see them in the distance, they are still lit, but they do burn out or blink out and it is hard to determine where they might come down because of the darkness.  I am sure people walk out in their yards and see the debris from a lantern and wonder what it is, and where did it come from. I am also sure they pick it up and drop it into the trash, not knowing there were lights seen in the sky in the area from the previous night.

Here is an example of what I am talking about. This report came in from Thompson Manitoba, and in the report there are photos the witness took of a melted mess which is the remains of a Chinese lantern.

I am certainly not saying all of the orange and red light sightings are Chinese lanterns, but I do receive thousands of sightings of these lights and I believe that most of them could be the lanterns.
