Silver Disc Shaped UFO At Vanderhoof And Multiple UFOs Over Victoria British Columbia


Date:  Mid May of 2014
Time:  9:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Disc shape.
Colour of Object: Silver.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was putting an attachment on the back of the tractor and while doing so, a beaver float plane came flying over.

I stopped to look at the plane because I not use to seeing float planes in this area, and being quite low. Just as it got across from me, a round disc appeared just above the plane.

The plane kept flying, the round disc just sat there in the sky, not moving, and there was no sound of any kind. The beaver air craft had left the area, and I stood there for several minutes staring at it.

I figured it to be about 1,000 feet in altitude, no more. I decided I would slowly walk back to the house and get the camera, as I was sure it was watching me. I would have been about 150 meters from the house, I kept looking back up to see if it was still there, and it was.

Finally I got to my home, I went in and got the camera out, and went back out and the dam thing was gone. I looked everywhere around, and nothing.

Another time I had just gotten out of the Navy, and I had my girl friend with me and we were at the Tilicome Drive in Theater watching an outdoor movie at around 11:00 p.m., this was in the summer of 1961 or maybe 1962.

While we were watching the show, two objects were just to the top left of the outdoor screen. These two orange glowing objects looked to be in the outer atmosphere, and were side by side as we watched the show.

I could see the two objects getting bigger, and brighter as they seemed to be coming down over the city of Victoria, British Columbia.

This took probably 30 to 40 minutes and these two objects got much bigger, where we could no longer see the picture on the screen.

All we had was the sound coming inside. I remember seeing the street lights around town going out because of the brightness which seemed like all of Victoria was lit up.

By this time I and many, many others that were at the outdoor theater were out of there cars watching the two objects. Soon the bright objects started very slowly raising back up, and as they rose, it got darker.

After approximately 20 to 30 minutes, the street lights came back on and I could see the show again. I kept watching with the other people that were out of their cars, as the objects went back up to the same place, where they first appeared.

They sat there again for maybe another ten minutes, when one of the objects left the others, going across the in a zig zag movement, or back and forth motion. There were no clouds of any kind that night.

I remember watching it go behind us, all which took at least 5 full minutes. I remember my girl friend at the time, wouldn't even get out of the vehicle.

I got back in to watch the show again, and I still could see the remaining object still quite bright (bit smaller than the moon, but brighter) watching the show and this thing at same time maybe within ten full minutes the remaining objects left in a straight line in the opposite direction, as the first I remember it leaving in a blink of an eye.

All you could see was a small streak in the direction it went and I'm sure there had to be 50 to 60 people that were out of their vehicles at that time, because there was no show to watch, but that one.

Funny thing to, I watched the newspapers and listened to the radio for many days and nothing was ever said about that incident, that I could ever find.

I have had other sightings, but nothing like the two sightings that were that close and for that length of time.

Hope you read this through, because I know what I saw and you can believe me. It was there and I watched it, true as I'm sitting here.

Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for their reports.

In The House of Leviathan - By Bestselling Author, B.D. Bruns


Recently, it seems the horror genre has been overrun with teen melodrama. Just google "why Twilight is bad" to get a sense of the disdain (my personal favorite is from The Oatmeal).

Bestselling author, B.D. Bruns wants to know, "what happened to just plain scary?"

In his new book, In The House of Leviathan, Bruns avoids the overdone teen drama and instead relies on classic gothic elements to create tension and terror.  “Mainstream horror has gone so mainstream that it isn’t scary anymore,” says Bruns. “Glittering teenage vampires aren’t even intended to be scary. But, classics like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, now that was terrifying. The difference is that Stoker embraced the unknown. I hope that readers of In The House of Leviathan find my embrace of the unknown to be equally thrilling.”

Set in an Italian paper mill during the 1860s , In The House of Leviathan follows Giuseppe, a humble man working in the mill, who witnesses Old Man Grapaldi summoning the Devil. Omens from the sea threaten the village and bizarre, violent happenings at their mill threaten his family. With their church rocked by inner turmoil and so many good men succumbing to dark secrets, Giuseppe himself must overcome his fears and his physical handicap to save his beloved sister.

Throughout the pages of In The House of Leviathan, readers can expect:

A reinvigoration of the classic horror and gothic genre.

Vivid imagery transporting readers to Italy’s exotic Amalfi Coast.

A connection between our greatest fictional thrills and the exotic history of the real world.

A throwback to masterfully built tension, believable characters with rich backgrounds and plot complexity informed by real world experiences.


Adventurer B. D. Bruns has traveled to over 50 countries to gather material for his bestselling books. He’s won 19 national and international book awards, including three national Book of the Year awards. Bruns’ first fiction book, The Gothic Shift (2014) won the International Book Awards Best Short Story Collection.

He also contributes to Yahoo Travel, BBC, CNN, The Daily Beast, and The Travel Channel.

Bruns’ travel adventures span from entering the Pyramids of Giza and swimming in the Panama Canal to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and touring Torture Museums in Estonia.

He has attended ceremonies from the descendants of cannibals in the South Pacific and has been consulted by a ghost tour in Malta. After residing in Dracula’s hometown for several years, Bruns moved to Las Vegas with his Romanian wife, where they live with two cats, Julius and Caesar.

Triangle Of Red Lights Spotted Over Parksville Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  March 25, 2015
Time:  Approximately 10:00 p.m.

I saw a strange object over Parksville on Wednesday night around 10:00 p.m..

I was coming off the Inland highway from the north onto exit 51 I think it is.

Anyway it was 3 or 4 red lights. This thing was huge! Surely someone else must have seen this.

I couldn't stop to have a better look as there was a vehicle behind me.

Orange Colored Lights/Objects Seen Over Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  March 22, 2015
Time:  8:00 p.m.

I just (8:00 p.m.) saw 4 similar lights heading north west from what appeared above down town Nanaimo.

One first, then 2 together and then one solo again. They were orange, not red and seemed to be identical.

I have had many years of aviation involvement and am familiar with glide paths angles of attack, drift et al.

A few years ago I did see something similar, which was even more weird!

I also have seen Chinese lanterns, and these they were not.

 Any Ideas ?

Thank you to the witness for their report.

The Seen And Unseen Dimensions Of Time


By Carisia H. Switala, MTS – Harvard University Divinity School

Author of Eternity’s Secret: What the Bible & Science Have to Say About Time.

I assume most people are aware of the recent “Voice of an Angel” story reported on the news about an 18-month old girl who was found alive in an overturned car 14 hours after it crashed in a Utah river.  The four police officers who rescued the little girl said they heard a woman’s voice calling out for help.  However, the girl’s mother died in the crash and there were no other people in the car.  The officers really believe something otherworldly took place.  Perhaps this story is a good example of the temporal and eternal dimensions of time merging together allowing the mother to call for help from the unseen dimension.

After years of research, I came to the realization that time is an elusive concept.  Most individuals believe that looking at their watch and hurrying to get to work on time is the extent to which this concept is relevant.  However, in my opinion, time is so much more than a measurement of sequential events.  For many years, philosophers and scientists have been trying to explain time.  The ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, believed that time is the measurement of change.  Whereas Sir Isaac Newton, an influential seventeenth century English physicist and natural philosopher, believed that space was a static container and time was an absolute flow. Newton hypothesized that absolute time exists independently of any observer and moves forward at a steady pace throughout the universe.  He also thought that humans perceive ordinary time as a measurement of objects in motion like the sun.

Saint Augustine, an early Christian theologian and philosopher, believed that time was only in the mind and a human invention that cannot be applied to the universe or to God. Augustine’s view was that God existed in a timeless void. However, as the human mind evolved into a thinking machine that applies science to philosophical questions, the idea of relativity introduced the opinion that time is a physical dimension governed by physical laws. This opened up a more expansive view of the world and the universe.


I believe that the ancient idea of eternity, endless time, is a very profound and complex aspect of the subject.  What seems like the passage of time in a changing world is but an illusion in a three-dimensional space.

It is difficult for humans to visualize space. The standard human experience of space can be described in terms of three dimensions: width, depth, and height. Once the fourth dimension of time is added to the equation, parallel dimensions and universes become a clearer possibility in a space-time continuum. This advancement in thought and knowledge reveals the endless nature of time and the continuation of life, defusing the idea of a timeless void. It is a perspective that views eternity as endless time, not the absence of time as Saint Augustine suggested.

We measure the passage of time in seconds, minutes, hours, and years, but this doesn’t mean that time flows at a constant rate. Just as the water in a river rushes or slows depending on the size of the channel, time flows at different rates in different places. Einstein believed that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. In other words, time is relative. So relativity makes it possible, with the proper technology, such as a very fast spaceship, for one person to experience several days while another person simultaneously experiences only a few hours or minutes.

After I delved into scientific theory, I discovered that the idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics suggests that all possible quantum events can occur in mutually exclusive histories. These alternate, or parallel, histories would form a branching tree, symbolizing all possible outcomes of any interaction. If all possibilities exist, any paradoxes could be explained by having the paradoxical events happening in different universes. This concept leads to the conclusion that time travel is possible, and a time traveler should certainly end up in a different history than the one he or she started from. Hence, relativity and ancient notions of time variation and parallel universes are very similar.

My research into philosophy, theology and science inspired me to merge scientific and religious views about time into one reality of infinite time.  The Bible contains many time-centered passages and reveals eternity to humanity.  Science is also on the verge of discovering the possibility of opening up the fourth dimension of time in order to make breakthroughs in time travel.  When these two disciplines work together, who knows what incredible insights into the seen and unseen dimensions of the universe will be revealed.  The result will most likely be humanity’s inspiration to attain absolute knowledge of the mysteries of eternity.

The new paradigm of time I discerned is endless time. It encompasses the eternal dimension of the universe that allows for infinite life. This dimension contains the unending transformations of nonstop creation. And life doesn’t have to start in the temporal world in order to be infinite because life is eternal and therefore has no starting point. The illusions of the third dimension emanate from a static view of space and time where objects exist and events take place in a linear sequence.  Perhaps one day the next brilliant scientist will be able to mathematically prove the existence of eternity.

UFO Sighting Over Bloomington Indiana With John Tosti And Mark (Last Interview With John - Audio Interview)


From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

The Vike Report.

Brian Vike's Note: I have posted this United States report here on my British Columbia page, I have done so due John Tosti passing back on 3-24-2011. I know a lot of people followed John's story through me when I had my HBCC UFO Research website. 

Not many people have heard this last interview. This was done with John and his friend Mark. This also was the last time I spoke to John. In this interview you will hear some of the things they had to put up with when reporting their UFO sighting. The interview was done over Skype.

Black Hawk helicopters, the police and media seem to shy away from John after contacting them.

As some of you know, John Tosti went through a lot when dealing with close encounters from alien craft, and his missing time and alien abduction.

This interview Brian Vike did with John and Mark would have been the last conversation Brian had with John Tosti, as he passed away on 3-24-2011. Also the fellows believe they were followed, had phone taps, etc., after seeing this UFO which is covered in this interview.

Saucer UFO/Odd Sound Southwest Position Above Strait Of Juan De Fuca Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  March 7, 2015
Time:  Approximately 7:30 p.m.

Hello Brian, I just did a Google search for some current information about a sighting we saw this evening, to see if anyone else saw it and reported it and I fell upon your page. Hence, here I am to share what we saw.

As it happened in sequence and detail.

Date and time of our sighting: March 7th, 2015. First sighted at approximately 7:30 p.m., fading from sight at approximately 8:40 p.m.

We live in Langford, British Columbia, but went to Victoria for dinner this evening. As we were driving back (my friend and I) I noticed a 'bigger than a star', but 'smaller than the moon' light high in the sky to the left of us just before we arrived at the cross section of Tillicum Road and the TC highway.

I followed it with my eye until we arrived home. I have a telescope, but I would have had to take it into the street for a good view, so my friend grabbed his binoculars, and we headed to the back yard.

I could see clearly even just with these 'binos' that it was not any star or planet, but a moving (bowl-like on one side, flat on the other) saucer object, flipping around that in one instance the flat side was to the right and instantly then to the left.

On the round side of this object, there were a lot of small white round shapes, like white lights that sparkled as the object revolved. It had gotten a lot closer for a good view since we had come home, but was now slowly descending below the treetops in the view from our back yard.

We shifted our positions and went to the front of the house and partly into the street. Our next door neighbours came out, curious as to what we were looking at.

We showed them and they both agreed it was something different. The lady then asked us if we had heard a train go by earlier. We said that we were out and just got home.

She said because we heard a train go by about an half an hour or three quarters of an hour ago, but we thought it was strange because there is no train running here!

So I thought (and then said) 'hmm, I wonder could it be this object' that flew by and created the sound?' We all pondered that possibility.

It was getting cold by now and the object had moved a bit more, so we went to our computer rooms in the loft for a clearer view.

We quickly took the screen out, poked our heads out the window and (with 'binos' to eyes) there it was in a very clear image, again even closer. It was twirling around much more visibly and then in an instance, it dipped below the trees and out of sight.

End of our sighting! Now I am hearing that a UFO sighting was seen over Edmonton the early morning of this same day!

For starters Brian, I've been a total believer in UFOs for many years. Could elaborate much more on my experiences, but here it's about the 'here and now' sighting of this evening.

However, before I leave I wish to inject here that last summer (late July 2014), in the middle of the night my friend and I both woke to a loud 'scraping like sound' over our rooftop.

We both jumped out of bed and went straight to our windows. We thought something had crashed over the treetops by the house, but there was absolutely nothing to be seen or heard.

It was immediately after that night I heard about a possible UFO hovering over Toronto.

Thank you for reading and also you have permission to publish my 'sighting encounter'.

Regards.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian;

Thank you so much for your prompt reply!

To answer your question re whereabouts this object was spotted (from the perspective of where I live and saw its real shape), I can describe its position this way:

We live just off Happy Valley road, ( - newly developed - area) on 'Braeburn Ave', front of our back yard patio faces directly south, with the right side of it facing to the west.

This object was seen right above the corner of our patio in that southwest position, so my guess is it was hovering above the Strait of Juan De Fuca area, however, very high above the ocean and perhaps further off-land.

But to give a geographical account of its position, definitely I would say with conviction that it was in a 'Southwest' position, in the area of Juan De Fuca straits.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Image Of A Spirit By Paul Williams


Does An Unusual Photographic Image Capture the Release Of The Human Soul?

In the new book, Image of a Spirit, Paul Williams shares what followed after he took a picture with a cell phone camera of the space surrounding his mother after she died.

Paul Williams has lived a full and adventure filled. Life. He graduated Harvard Phi Beta Kappa in 1965 and became an accomplished Hollywood film director, dated many beautiful women many of whom became famous in their own right. He was also a devoted son who spent the final weeks of his mom’s life with her in Manhattan. He was there with other family members when she died, on the morning of December 27, 2009.

He watched as the caring women attendants cleaned up his mom’s body and dressed her in her favorite blue shirt. He couldn’t be physical with his mother, so he kept his distance and watched the other prepare his mom for her final journey.

Having been a professional photographer, it was then, an hour and fort-five minutes after she died, that he instinctively grabbed his Blackberry smart phone and snapped a few photos looking above his mother towards the two devoted women and the beautiful, loving expressions on their respective faces as they hovered over her.
Picture Above: Left to Right: Miss P, Mom on her back, invisible-to-the-naked-eye psi figure, Melissa, me on my knees.

A few hours later, he uploaded the pictures to his Macbook laptop, and to his utter amazement, discovered a small--maybe six inches tall, blurry hominoid-like figure just above his mother’s body which had been captured by his cell pone camera.

Williams had taken tens of thousands of photographs in his life, had studied and even taught photography at Harvard.

But nothing prepared him for the image that was before him. The photos clearly showed a small utterly clear, distinct image of a person like entity. One of the women was bothered, even spooked by the images. They couldn’t shake the feeling that something was really weird.

Williams determined that there was no obvious conventional explanation for this small blurry figure. It could not be explained by stray reflections or other well-known optical mechanisms. That much was for certain.


What was in the photos? Was it a picture of his mother’s spirit?

Image of a Spirit is the story of Paul William’s experience as he sought to unravel the mystery of the images.

Williams went on a multi-year quest to determine the possible explanations for the captured images.

He shared the photos and sought advice from several Hollywood celebrities and colleagues.

He took the photos to experts for analysis and validation. He researched the possibilities and contacted with people with the highest credentials in the fields of photography, psi research, chemistry and energy science.

He met with Dean Radin, America’s leading scentist  in the field of psi phenomenon investigation. And he met with Loyd Auerbach, author of the classic ghost image referece, the 1996 ESP, Hauntings and Poltergeists.

He gave the photo to Digital Computer Photography expert Professor Hany Farid, in the Image Science Group at Dartmouth College. Dr. Farid developed with Adobe Corp. (Photoshop) the fool-proof  authenticator of digital photos – utilized by courts, the NY Times, and intelligence agencies. Farid performed the forensic evaluation and verified the authenticity of the photo.

Can a cell phone be used to prove the soul exists?

Image of a Spirit. 

What People Are Saying

I find the image captured an hour after the death, above the corpse, of the mother of Paul Williams, is a really interesting anomaly. It cries out for an explanation. What does it mean? I don't know, but I'd like to know more about it. I've never seen anything like it. This well-written story of Williams' odyssey to answer the question is lively, unexpected, and intriguing.”

ANDREW T. WEIL, M.D., Founder of the field of integrative medicine, famed author of Spontaneous Healing, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health, Healthy Aging and many others

I have never seen such a photograph before—a ”ghost” image that, one, was not amorphous and cloudlike and, two, was comparable to an actual person in continuous time and space—much less one a few inches away and dead less than two hours. I do not know of anyone taking a picture of a specific loved one, so soon after death.

I confirm that the photo shows no signs of manipulation or alteration. In summary, except for the importing of the photo into iPhoto, I confirm that the image IMG00191.jpg is authentic.

The picture–-and everything that followed-- more than justified Paul Williams writing this extraordinary book, and you and me reading this book carefully.

From the Foreword:

“You are about to read a one-of-a-kind and likely history-making book.  I only have one concern about this book.  The book is so interesting, Williams’ life is so extraordinary (and eccentric), the author is so colorful and such a superb storyteller, that the scientific and spiritual significance of his apparent afterlife communication account may become overshadowed by his life.

“Of course, this makes for fun reading, and I personally enjoyed the book immensely.  However, the primary reason I decided to write this Foreword was to make sure that you, the reader, recognize the potential profundity of what Williams has discovered, and what it might mean for science as well as our personal lives.”

Over 200 Witnesses Observe UFO And Beam Of Light In British Columbia (Written Report/Letter/Newspaper Article)


From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

(Witness) - I talked with a scientist at the HR MacMillan Space Center/Planetarium in Vancouver, British Columbia.

He seemed to not believe in UFOs nor even the some 10,000 Crop Circles worldwide phenomena.

He suggested what they saw was simply the International Space Station.

Canadian UFO Investigator Brian Vike's Note: The above text I typed up is from the letter as you will see. Everything else below is the letter I scanned in and posted. The only thing I removed, was anyone's personal information.

The name Carolyn is from the newspaper (Cranbrook Daily Townsman Newspaper - Article ran August 12, 2003)

I did speak to Carolyn and eventually an article was done over the sighting.

Also there was the International Space Station that did fly over around the time of the sighting, but the sighting was over something else.

Also, there was a Fireball that flew over around the same time of the sighting.

So we know of two things that flew over the entire area around the time the witness had their sighting.

What came next, I wasn't prepared for. When the newspaper ran the news article they included my contact, email, website at that time, and my phone number which I gave the OK for.

Well in came the first call, a witness was reporting what they saw, then another call, and another, and another. Honestly, the phone never stopped ringing. This went on for almost a week. People wanted to file a report as they saw the unknown thing as well. Actually the phone rang so many times I grabbed my fishing rod and we went out to the river to have a break.

It ended up I took well over 200 phone calls and a few emails from this sighting. I know some folks believe it was one of the two things I mentioned above, these being the International Space Station or a Fireball.

But what people reported to me was no Fireball or the International Space Station. This was something odd, what, I don't know. Maybe if people had the chance to listen to all of the mini audio tapes I have over this, they might think differently. So for me, this was a UFO event that so many people observed.

I wrote up an article which you can find here: Over 200 Witnesses Speak Out On UFO And Beam Of Light Sighting - We Want To Know! 
http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.ca/2010/12/over-200-witnesses-speak-out-on-ufo-and.html

Also, this took place just before the Missing Time case out of Kelowna, British Columbia.

I should add, that in the newspaper article I am mentioned under HBCC UFO Research. I did own and operated it, but sold the domains names and now run under “The Vike Factor”.

Bright Orange/Red Colored Object Flew Over Victoria Vancouver Island British Columbia


Date:  February 28, 2015
Time:  10:30 p.m.

I wanted to share the UFO sighting we had last night at 10:30 p.m. in Victoria, British Columbia.

My cousin, best friend and I were all standing outside having a smoke chatting just off of Lampson Street by Head when my cousin looked up to the moon and said, “hey look at the UFO”.

We looked up and seen this bright orange red colored orb like disc flying towards downtown Victoria and at a very rapid pace.

We watched it go and even tried to record it, but my cousins phone was to dead to do so and before it dissipated, I ran inside and screamed UFO, at my rest of the friends inside and the three of them came running out and we were all in shock.

It lasted maybe 5 minutes or so, then it was just gone.

This is about the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen UFOs since July of last year, and this is the second time I’ve seen one with my cousin.

Any reason you can think of that they're showing themselves more often.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Bright Object Makes Unusual Maneuvers Across The Sky Over Smithers British Columbia


Date:  February 27, 2015
Time:  Approximately 10:00 p.m.

Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round, like a star.
Colour of Object: Bright.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I stepped outside of my apartment, when I noticed a bright light moving near a star at approximately 11 o'clock above me (to the west, closer to Hudson's Bay Mountain).

It seemed to move erratically with some stops, zig-zags and spurts of speed. There were no sounds overhead.

I watched it behave in this manner for approximately 5 minutes until it sort of "sputtered", and faded in and out and finally disappeared at approximately 2-3 o'clock in the eastern sky...near the mouth of the Big Dipper.

It most certainly exhibited some very unusual movements, quite unlike space junk or a satellite. Weird.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

8 Orange Red Coloured Objects/Lights Over Maple Ridge British Columbia


Date:  February 22, 2015
Time:  Approximately 6:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

I just read a blog on your website that described exactly what my husband and I witnessed that same night and time in the same neighbourhood (240th and 102nd).

The witness noted 2 orange orbs of flame travelling across the sky in the same direction just before dark.  We too witnessed these orangey-red orbs, but we actually watched at least 8 of them (from our upstairs window) travel in a northerly direction about 60 seconds apart, following the same path, and then just disappear.

We opened the window to see if we could hear a sound, but they were all silent and there were no blinking lights, definitely not any type of plane.

It was the first time either of us have witnessed anything like it, and after the first 6 had passed, we actually started to feel a bit frightened not having any idea as to what they could be.

Since then, we have been trying to find an explanation with no luck, but are now quite excited to discover that there were other witnesses!

Please let us know if you have any questions or need further detail.

Thank you.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
