At 10:30am on January 24, 2011 I received a reply by way of telephone from the Canadian Coast Guard. They confirmed that a Paraglider had crashed and there was a rescue underway. It was illumination flares that a lot of folks saw that evening. Brian Vike – The Vike Factor.
Below are the sighting reports I received for the January 2011 British Columbia strange light sightings. We know now that flares were dropped from an aircraft to illuminate for searchers.
