Amateur Astronomer Spots UFOs Over Northern British Columbia ?

Date: July 30, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:10 - 11:25 p.m.

Hello Brian, I am an amateur astronomer from Northern British Columbia. I have been watching the skies for many years and know the northern sky very well. I have also studied the UFO phenomenon for many years and have never been convinced that any have been ET in origin.

The two objects I saw tonight are like nothing I have seen before. I observed both objects with the naked eye and with 10x50 binos. The second was observed for 10 minute and seen by my neighbor. (sorry I did not have my 12.5" scope set up at the time)

Do we have large satellites that can change direction, speed or stop? Do we have something bigger than the ISS up there I'm not aware of? The object was much brighter than the ISS or the occasional flare from it.

The second object was bright (est. mag. -6) It was blue in colour (like Vega) with a large orange-red round faint light beside it. I have never seen anything like it before. Any ideas?

I may have video of the first object, I will look at the footage later tonight.

Objects flight paths included below. Cheers!

Object Stops And Continues Traveling Over White Rock British Columbia

Date: July 31, 2010
Time: 1:38 a.m.

From White Rock, B.C. I have been watching this "star" for the last 20 a 30 minutes. I am facing east looking at the moon and it is at about the 5 o'clock position if the moon is in the middle of the clock. When I first noticed it, it was moving rapidly left to right (south). Then it stopped still very bright.

And then stayed in the same position for a very long time. Much less bright now and still moving, but much slower. Police helicopter? Space station? I have no idea. Do you see it, it's still there now at 145. Do you have a telescope to check these things out.

UFOs Seen Again Over The Skies Of Surrey/Newton British Columbia

Date: July 26, 2010

Time: 11:00 p.m.

I have Goosebumps reading your article. I live in Newton and I think I seen the exact same thing that you (witness) saw. I saw it going south from what I think is White Rock, love to tell you more.

Additional Information:

I too was smoking outside my basement suite and noticed a star shaped and colored object appear out of nowhere. They started moving south from where I live in Surrey/Newton B.C. towards White Rock/U.S. border and was only visible for maybe 3 to 5 seconds.

It was a clear night out and I saw planes flying to the Richmond Airport all day and night, but this was 11:00pm and it was either too high up in the stars or too low to be flying at aircraft level and way faster than anything I have previously seen. This happened Monday July 26th, 2010. I've seen many shooting stars and this was no withering star that's for sure.

UFO Speeds Across The Sky Over White Rock British Columbia

Date: July 26, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Hello, my name is (name removed) and I currently live in White Rock B.C. On July 26th 2010 at around 11:00pm, I was outside in my dark yard smoking, when I looked up to the sky (something I usually do) I spotted this star beside another. A few seconds later, the star I was looking at was no longer sitting in the same spot. At first I thought I was dizzy because the star now seemed to be moving along the sky horizontally heading north.

The UFO was not flashing lights or anything and was moving at a pretty high rate of speed which shows it was not a plane, it was completely quiet and zoomed across the sky in a matter of seconds ( I assumed it was somewhere near the border when it was stationed and sped across to the delta area which took around 5 seconds.

The UFO then started to dim and finally disappear out of view after it slowed down again. This was my second experience seeing the same UFO from last week. It seems to be flying in the same airspace or change directions. Thanks and please let me know if anyone else has seen the same experience around my area. The craft was white, orange-ish. It completely looked like a star.

Two UFOs Seen From Wreck Beach In Vancouver British Columbia

Date: July 24, 2010

Time: Approx: 5:00 p.m.

Hi, on July 24th I was at Wreck Beach in Vancouver BC at around 5:00pm and I looked up and saw two aircraft that looked strange. They had to big round bright lights and were skinny. I attached a Photoshop drawing so you can get a better idea of what they looked like.

It was a clear day, no clouds, I looked up and thought it was a strange looking plane and then it vanished and I wondered if I saw that right.

Then there was another one following closely behind that one and it vanished into thin air as well. Nobody else was looking so I don’t have anyone to back this up. No drugs or alcohol was involved as I’m a pregnant lady.

Two Strange Lights Seen From Kits Beach Vancouver British Columbia

Date: July 24, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.

Hi, I would be surprised if no one else saw it because there were 300,000 people on the beach last night (July 24, 2010) for the fireworks, but around 9:00pm while sitting at Kits Beach we saw two lights (almost like slivers) in the Northern sky. One faded out and came in at a different location, while the one sat there for sometime before moving to our right and disappearing behind the mountains.

The one was visible for at least 10 minutes. We asked the people next to us to check it out and we all scratched our heads as to what could sit there above the mountains and then move so gradually out of site.

Not sure if you have heard anything else on this sighting, the fact it was still light out may have prevented it from being seen by most people.

Objects Seen Over Terrace British Columbia

Date: July 24, 2010

Time: 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Terrace, BC.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Roundish.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: While returning from fishing, we went to get the gear out of the back of the van, in our driveway. Our friend, happened to look up at the sky, while making a comment about the full moon and said, "What is that"? I looked up and saw what appeared to be a bright, light, almost like a star, floating in one spot, then to another spot in the sky, just under the clouds.

My husband then looked and saw the same thing. We watched this *object* hover about from the right to the left, and commented about what it could possibly be. A weather balloon, or just a homemade device. Too high up, so, to make a long story short, our friend had to go home, so we said our good nights and headed into our home.

My husband went out onto our back deck, and I went out with him to see if we could spot that light again. Looking eastward, we could just barely see it, when I happened to look back in the original spot, and there was another object, 2 lights, hovering and going back and forth.

I ran into the house to find the binoculars, came back out, looked at them, but they still look like lights, no plane or helicopter, we then called our girls from downstairs to look, and they looked also. We still have no idea what it is, and we don't have powerful enough cameras to try to take a video or picture.

The objects were in the southern part of the sky from where we were looking. Very interesting. We were kind of wondering if perhaps they could be weather balloons? Thanks.

Lights Chasing One Another Over Cassidy South Of Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia

Date: July 22, 2010
Time: 11:35 p.m. - 12:03 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Cassidy turnoff across from airport, but they were about 5, 10 miles away in the night sky.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: Differ.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I had just been picked up from my friends get together at his house, and I ended up leaving at 11:30pm. It takes about 5 minuets to get to the highway turnoff from his place, and my mom and I were about 30 seconds from pulling up to the light to turn onto the highway and heading home, but we saw something in the distance of the night sky, so we pulled over, shut the car off, turned the lights of, and sat in silence, to hear if they made a sound.

There were 3 very, very bright lights, two of them looked like they were chasing each other in circles (very small circles) and they did about 8 loops, then immediately stopped. As we watched them, my mom and I noticed how slow they were moving.

The speed that they were going was nothing that can be matched to a known existing aircraft, the 3rd object was moving as slow as the other 2, but only after about 3 minuets the object stopped and for the rest of the time we were there and it was like it was watching us, very strange.

The two constantly moving craft soundlessly moved along the tree tops from where I could see they were. They went dim, then brightened back up again, and after about half an hour those 2 disappeared. The third craft stayed in the same place as it had been, prior to the disappearance of the other 2.

They all had odd patterns of flashing lights, nothing I've ever seen on a known aircraft, and there were very large amounts of light coming out of the forest where I was sure they disappeared into. When they would disappear, we saw what seemed to be sparks and white fire coming off them as they descended in the trees.

By the way, when we first arrived at the sighting spot, they were very high up in the sky, I'm not sure how high, but they were very high up and also before they moved along the trees, Two of them moved straight down and we figured out that they must have been over some farms, or the forest seeing this is all there is. Ladysmith is 10 km south, and Nanaimo is I don't know how far away Cassidy is.

This is what my mother and I saw last night and we sure haven't seen anything like this before.

More Sightings Over Surrey British Columbia

Date: July 16, 2010
Time: 9:00 p.m. to about 11:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, five minutes ago I just saw another, I don't know what, just like before looks like a star moving across the horizon. It was moving very fast from the southern horizon straight across the sky headed towards the northern, but it got out to the top of the globe, then within a second vanished. Since the first one I saw, which was the footage and the other two which pretty much looked the same and did the same thing as the one I just saw.

I have seen three others since last reporting to you and four which was tonight. Now you have a time estimate, they range between 9:00pm to about 11.30pm. The real scary part about all of this is, after I reported the first three to you, three nights later I was out side around 10:30pm telling my neighbour all about my sightings and within five minutes of explaining, she looked up and said "look at that" (this was my fourth sighting) it was much brighter than the other three and faster and it too vanished after about 30 seconds.

In my opinion these must not be satellites because they range from smaller to bigger and travel from north to south, east to west and all over the place across the sky. So the sighting time tonight was approx 11:05 pm. please let me know if you can do some research and maybe find out what I'm seeing.

P.S. - Also as soon as I looked up at the sky I saw the object and this has happened almost every time I have seen them it kind of scares me to be honest.

I live in Surrey B.C. and there is alot of air traffic because Richmond airport is to the west . The plains fly very low and these are no plains that I'm seeing, the objects that I'm seeing are either way to high like the distance of a star or way to low, so yes let me know and thanks again.

Thank you so much.

Large Bright Light Seen Over Beaverdell British Columbia

Date: July 3, 2010
Time: Between 10:30 and 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Beaverdell, B.C.
Number of witnesses: 4-5+
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Large bright light, smaller trailing light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Myself, my fiancé, her sister and boyfriend were all camping in Beaverdell (near Kelowna) B.C. We were all sitting around the campfire watching the stars as it was nice to be out where you can actually see the true night sky. We had been tracking constellations, watching satellites and enjoying the view. Around 10:30pm that night we all snapped our view to a new item in the sky.

Coming from the west was a very bright and pronounced light, moving quite fast. It was larger and brighter than any star by far and as it neared, we saw a much smaller light trailing it. The trailing light appeared purple or red depending which of us you asked, but it travelled directly behind the larger one at the same speed. At one point, they crossed paths with a plane and seemed closer than the plane.

The larger light dwarfed the plane for size and brightness and they made the plane look like it was standing still. It took a couple of minutes to watch them from one side of the sky to the other before disappearing over a mountain. The kicker is, the next day at the neighbours barbeque, we were talking to this guy and he flat out asked us if we had seen that thing in the sky the night before. Apparently he and a friend saw it too, and their description was identical to ours.

Cowichan Lake In Honeymoon Bay British Columbia

Date: July 3, 2010
Time: Between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m.

Hello, My wife and I and a couple of friends were sitting around a campfire on the shore of Cowichan Lake in Honeymoon Bay BC on July 3, 2010. It was between 10:00 and 10:30 when we all saw a bright light approaching from the west. It was moving quite fast and made no sound at all.

When it was overhead we all noticed a smaller light trailing directly behind which was too far back to be attached to any airplane that is known to man. The lights proceeded east from our location and disappeared beyond the horizon. The smaller light followed at the same distance and directly behind until we lost sight.
This is the same night as the sighting in Beaverdell, BC and about the same time.

Triangular UFO Seen Over Tsawwassen British Columbia

Date: June 18, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

This happened on Friday, June 18th, 2010 at about 11:00pm. I work in the movie industry and we were out on location shooting a movie in Tsawwassen B.C. I looked in the sky at about 11:00pm and I saw three bright white lights that made a triangular shape. It looked like it was turning slowly, similar to a second hand on a clock. Unfortunately I broke my cell that day earlier on, so my cam or video wasn't working.

Their were two other workers with me that did see this, but they are non believers and keep saying they were planes. This shape was in the sky for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then something crazy happened. Each corner with a light went off in different directions. Then a bright one lit up in the middle and turned red and took off upward. I have no explanation what this could have been. I am a believer in UFO's for over 22 years, but this is one that I wasn't expecting to see. I've seen a few before, but just the oval shaped. Did you hear anything of this sighting.

UFO Filmed Over Surrey British Columbia (Video Footage)

Date: June 23, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.

I took a telephone call from a witness on the evening of June 30, 2010. It was a bit late, so the fellow called back the next day. He told me, he watched and filmed something unusual in the night sky over Surrey British Columbia on June 23, 2010 at approximately 11:30 p.m.

I just received the footage today, and grabbed a couple of photos of the craft as well. Some of the lights moved away from this craft and at some point shot off. Although we do not see this in the footage, this still looks to be an interesting object.

The footage is copyright 2010 to the eyewitness.
