http://www.cbc.ca/mediacentre/ascension.html#.VNFWm53F98E
and http://www.cbc.ca/ascension/

Viewers will be transported to 1963 to watch the drama unfold as the U.S. government launches a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world.

Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship's population to question the true nature of their mission.

Brian Van Holt (Cougar Town, The Bridge) will star as the ship's heroic captain, William Denninger, opposite Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galatica, The Firm), who will play the role of his wife.

In addition to Helfer, the cast features a number of Canadian actors including Jacqueline Byers (90 Days, Scared Stiff) and Andrea Roth (Rescue Me, Ringer). Wendy Crewson (Revenge, Saving Hope), Ryan Robbins (Sanctuary, Apollo 18) and John Ralston (Bomb Girls, Life with Derek) are currently set to guest star.

Other lead cast members include Brandon P. Bell (Hollywood Heights, Mission Impossible III) and Tiffany Lonsdale (G.I Jane: Retaliation), who will also star alongside Van Holt and Helfer.

Spike In Strange Lights Over Vancouver Island (CTV News Vancouver Island Video Footage)

On Sunday morning Brian Vike from The Vike Factor did a Skype video interview with reporter Gord Kurbis for the CTV Vancouver Island (Victoria) from his home in Houston, British Columbia.

The topic was on a rise in strange lights over Vancouver Island, and there were a good number of sightings of unusual lights, Triangular UFO and numerous reports of a meteor that flew over the Victoria and surrounding area.

Also at the same time, sightings of unusual lights/unknown objects/meteor came in from eye witnesses in the lower mainland and Vancouver area.

To watch the full CTV Vancouver Island news story, please visit the following link: http://youtu.be/zRgjsrAmZKI

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.

Brian Vike Director Of HBCC UFO Research And The Media

Posted: February 1, 2009

Brian Vike, Independent UFO Investigator/Reporter. I own and operate HBCC UFO Research. Below are some of the media interviews I have done since I started investigating UFOs.

I have been looking into the UFO phenomena since mid 2000. I work at it full time these days and really enjoy meeting with the witnesses and have made many new wonder friends along the way.

I reside in a very small town called Houston, here in British Columbia Canada and have made a good name for myself in the UFO field. I have received thousands of sighting reports from Canada, United States and all around the world. I also have a small radio show and only have guests on the show who have been witness to a UFO, Sasquatch/Bigfoot, Ghost sighting, or really anything that is classed unusual.

I decided to close my main website and use the blogs to report on all new UFO sightings that come in. The blogs are many more times easier to use and saves me a great deal of time and can put more time into the reports.

I have posted below just some of the media interviews I have done. I have talked to the media here in Canada, the United States and other parts of the world. I have been in a couple of UFO documentaries and been a guest on countless radio programs.

Below is just a small sample of media interviews I have done.

I would like to thank everyone for stopping by and if you have any questions about what I do, please do write to me.

I can be contacted at hbccufo@telus.net or through my main blog at: http://hbccuforesearch.blogspot.com/

Vancouver, British Columbia A Unknown Object Spotted On Global TV News

Posted: June 29, 2008

Date: June 2008
Time: N/A.

Hi Brian, I was watching the news hour on Global TV and during their traffic report the chopper was over the N. end of the Lions Gate Bridge facing south. I noticed a fast moving white object come into the picture traveling east to west. At first I thought it was a Seagull but when it flew under the bridge I realized it was much further away then I first thought and much bigger. It happened so fast it barely registered before it was gone but I believe it was several times the size of a car, possibly round or disk shaped and a pale white in color. Possibly you or someone else was watching and got a better look. I think it was Leigh Holive? doing the traffic report from the chopper.

Thank you to the person for the information.

Missing Time in Kelowna – Kelowna, British Columbia TV Special

Posted: February 2, 2008

Imagine the terrifying sensation of being unable to account for several hours of your life, the memory of what occurred completely stripped away; this is exactly what happened to two British Columbia women immediately after they sighted a mysterious object in the sky. Even more frightening were the unexplainable physical after-effects of their encounter, including mysterious scars and unceasing nightmares. Were they victims of an alien abduction, and did these creatures return later to experiment further on their children? A well special close encounter, of the terrifying kind.

Creepy Canada is back, with thirteen new episodes, packed with ghosts, aliens and weird creatures. There are plenty of stories from here in Canada, but this year the show is also going south of the border, and do*****enting tales from the United States, because the paranormal has no borders. Thanks to Canada’s massive size, many of these American stories are closer to you than the Canadian ones, and you don’t even need a passport (yet) to check them out.

Creepy also has a new host, who is not new to the show. Brian O’Dea has been producing the series since the beginning, so he was the unanimous choice as host, he certainly knows the subject better than anyone by now.

T.V. Crew Tapes UFO Interview In Houston

Posted: January 25, 2008

Houston Today Wednesday, March 5, 2003 No. 10 by Jennifer Lang - (Reporter for the Terrace Standard Newspaper, Terrace, B.C.)

Northwest B.C.'s resident UFO researcher Brian Vike will be featured in an upcoming T.V. show on Canada's Life Network.

Vike, field researcher and president of HBCC UFO Research, said a four man television crew from the channel interviewed him at his home base of Houston B.C. last week. The show called "Magnificent Obsession", will also feature crop circles. The crew planned to head to Florida and England next.

Vike was joined by Chris Rutkowski, a Manitoba based UFO researcher who compiles the annual Canadian UFO survey. The crew taped 17 hours of footage for an upcoming show.

Last year British Columbia once again had the highest number of reported sightings in the country. But the biggest surprise is that two northwest, B.C. towns, Terrace and Houston, accounted for more sightings than almost anywhere in Canada, according to the latest survey.

Vike says he received more than 100 different eyewitness reports from people in communities all along Highway 16 last year.

That included a large number here in the Terrace area - the undisputed hot spot of the region for UFO sightings in 2002.

Vike says CBC TV is also planning to send a team to interview him in Houston in the near future.

Contact HBCC-UFO Research or Vike's magazine, Canadian Communicator, by phone or fax at 1 250 845 2180. His email address is hbccufo@telus.net. The website address is http://www.hbccufo.org
