Bright Object Travels Across The Night Sky Over Nanaimo British Columbia (ISS Sighting)

Date: December 28, 2010

Time: 6:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, I'm writing in response to your article at: http://canadaufo.blogspot.com/2010/12/ufo-bursts-into-light-and-still-hangs.html

Today, around 6:30pm, my wife and I saw something somehow similar to your observation.

As we were getting ready to go, I took the time to look at the sky and enjoy the stars before going in the car, when I spotted what seemed to be a satellite. Having watched hundreds of satellite before, I quickly concluded that this was different.

The speed was about 3 to 5 times faster and the brightness what many times stronger than the reflection I've seen from satellites. Actually, the object was brighter than any stars, like a large white star.

The trajectory of the object initially appeared straight, but after around a minute there was a very slight curve in it.

Everything lasted less than 3 minutes. The object's brightness finally faded away within less than ten seconds and enabled me to get a better idea of it’s size and shape. When the object faded away, it looked more like an actual satellite before disappearing than a star, which gave the impression that the object was much smaller. Unfortunately, the object completely disappeared and could not be found after close observation.

We were unable to get any precise shape nor altitude. When I was younger, I had the chance to see many types of aircrafts, since my father was a pilot and an air traffic controller. But this is truly strange. If this was a satellite, the speed was absolutely tremendous and the brightness so great that it would imply some sort of large reflective area. Because of this and the shift in trajectory, I conclude it is not a satellite.

Moreover, the brightness cannot be easily explained if this was an aircraft, since it would have required a great deal of energy for no apparent reason but to be overly visible. In addition, no sounds were heard on this quiet evening.

There was no trace behind, resulting from the object. I'm tempted to believe this was a long range missile that "stopped" in flight (west to east), but how could it not leave a trace?

Hope this helps. Best regards.

Ball Of Fire Over Mission British Columbia

Date: December 25, 2010

Time: 7:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Mission British Columbia.
Number of witnesses: 6
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: After dinner I went outside for a smoke. In the northeast sky noticed a bright light. It appeared to be a ball of fire, you could even see flames. It moved about the speed of a small aircraft and given the fact that it was completely overcast and raining. I figure it was at approximately 2000 feet as it passed from east to west.

The ball of fire was obscured by the back of what ever it was. We watched the news that night expecting to hear of a small plane catching fire and crashing, but nothing was reported. Any ideas as to what this was? Thanks.

Lights Zooming Around The Sky Over Kelowna And Westbank British Columbia

Date: December 12, 2010 and in 2003.
Time: Evening.

Hey, not sure if this is a real sight or not . But I wanted to let someone now what I've seen, to offer me an explanation or something

2003- I saw lights in sky at bus stop, there was 5 or 6 of them. They appeared to be chasing one another, not in an aggressive way, but in a 'game like manner. Witnessed by me and another person waiting for a bus.
These lights came fairly close, then shot off so incredibly fast.

I now live in Westbank near the water. Lights move from the sky and seem to skim the water, I thought these were car lights from the hillside on the other side, but these lights are similar, if not exact to what I saw in 2003. There is no pattern to how they fly, just a chasing pattern and then gone and up into the sky. I have seen these lights several times and I know they are not planes, aircraft, flashlights and cars. Just a side note, when I have no cell service, my cell says no network service.

Anyway I am not crazy or making this up, Just want to let people know who might believe me and offer me an explanation !

Additional Information:

Yes, I saw most the articles ! I thought out of all the sites yours was most reliable. I was in Kelowna before my move to Westbank, I lived in the mission area. I was at a bus stop in the boonies one night (there was another person waiting as well) when very noticeable lights were zooming around. There was 5 or 6 and they were just above an orchard (as we were at the bus stop on a hill and could see into the valley) they were luminous in blue color and large. Within seconds 3 shot up and the other went north across the valley and then swooped upwards. This was all in about 5 seconds or so and the guy waiting for the bus asked me " what the heck are those, do see this.

I did see what he saw as well. They moved at amazing speeds and all 5-6 of them were "chasing" one another like a game of tag, they were hard to count as they maneuvered so quickly. In the black night they were more visible, but I cant explain the speed, it was crazy. They zoomed around that night for about 3 minutes, then went so far up we could no longer see them.

I have seen these lights as recently as December 12th, 2010 above the lake near west point 4-5. This is when my cell went out of service until the lights vanished .

What concerns me is that about 20 years ago my dad who lived in Hartel AB Near Okotoks has similar sightings of lights chasing each other. He wasn't crazy either. What are they ? There's intelligence, the way the move as it seems calculated.

More Witnesses To These Unknown Flashing Lights Over Kelowna British Columbia

Date: December 25, 2010

Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.

Hello, my two friends and I saw two of the red and white flashing lights you describe on your website. It was at the exact same time approx: 8:00 p.m. PST. It was amazing!

If you would like more info, please contact me.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, I am not surprised more sightings have been shared. The date was yesterday, Christmas day and my friends and I had just finished Christmas dinner when we went outside for some fresh air. The first light appeared, mostly red, but it pulsated an orange colour. There was
none of the typical engine noise from a plane and did not follow the normal flight path of aircraft heading to/from the local airport.

It came nearer to where we were, then seemed to dim in some wispy clouds, then completely disappeared. To our amazement, on the horizon there was another light that appeared, on a much lower flight path than the first. As we watched, this one changed speed and direction, and it seemed to pause for a moment (like it was taking a picture), then it seemed to ascend and at one point it looked like a star in the constellation Orion, before completely disappearing out of sight.

Just have to share that I am a channel and I heard after the sighting that it related to the "bouncing point" of 2012.

Did anyone get any video of this?

Please let me know if I can be of anymore assistance!

Many thanks and I will be watching your website.

7 To 8 Unknown Flashing Lights Over Richmond British Columbia

Date: December 25, 2010

Time: Approx: 7:50 p.m.

Hi Brian, I posted a comment about below sighting on my FB and a cousin from Europe sent me a link detailing the sighting from Kelowna. We saw individual flashing lights (like a very powerful camera flash), about 7-8 of them, around 7:50pm last night. This was in Richmond B.C.

The flashing lasted only for a moment, and the brightness varied between them. This did not look like a lightening at all, although it was coming out of a cloud (or from above it). I wonder if anyone else spotted the same thing in Richmond.

All the best, and Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it)!

15 Plus Red And White Flashing Lights Over Kelowna British Columbia

Date: December 25, 2010
Time: 7:55 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Kelowna British Columbia.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 15+
Shape of Objects: Unknown.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Red and white flashing lights. Too close together to be commercial flights. Objects moved very fast for how far away they were and made very rapid course changes. At around 30,000 (guess) feet high they seemed to disappear. Way too high to be fireworks. Around 15 objects sighted so far and it’s still going on.

Bright Blue Light Shooting West Over Richmond British Columbia

Date: December 8, 2010

Time: Approx: 6:04 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Richmond British Columbia.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: N/A.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Around the said time, I was on my work break and out. I observed a blue light shooting west. I wasn't able to get the shape or any thing else as this thing lasted for not more than a second and traveled more than half the sky. It was beyond clouds, bright blue in color and because of clouds was changing shades in it’s surrounding.

The most beautiful thing I ever saw. I had seen meteor shower, so I know what meteors look like and this thing was not at all close to that, and than the immense speed. By the time I could have realized anything else, it was gone. To make it strange, it just vanished as if someone just turned the lights off. I don't know if anybody else had witnessed this, but would like to definitely know what it could be. Cheers

Huge Bright Lit Object Falling From The Sky Over Vernon British Columbia

Date: December 7, 2010

Time: Evening.

My husband and I were just in the hot tub and suddenly we saw what we thought was a falling star, but quickly realized it was huge, bright white and falling straight down. It was partially cloudy so the comet would go behind a cloud and then show up again where the sky was clear. It lit up the cloud behind it with a bright glow. Wow!

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving on Hwy 16 East from Vanderhoof home to Prince George. I was about half way, maybe closer to Prince George. The sky was very dark and clear. I looked up to enjoy the stars, and I saw a very bright white light far away in the sky. Almost like a comet passing through the atmosphere, but just a bright white light passing in one straight line horizontally north to south, with no tail. Just one bright light zipping by faster than anything I've ever seen.

UFO Bursts Into Light And Still Hangs Over Nanaimo British Columbia

Date: December 16 - 17th, 2010

Time: 9:30 p.m. –1:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Nanaimo British Columbia.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Disc.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Last night I was on the deck of my apartment talking on the phone to a friend it was about 9:30pm when I noticed what looked to be a low flying satellite coming in my direction flying SE direction towards Vancouver from the west coast of the Island.

I said to my friend on the phone, there's a UFO and he started joking around, I then got off the phone and the object was still moving in my direction, it then stopped and was just floating in one place. I called for my wife who came out and was watching as well.

We both watched it and then it started to move north toward Lantzville, it went up and into an arch pattern and then gave off a huge burst of light and was travelling fast and jittery and then stopped further down my line of sight just over the building across the street, but further toward the back end of Mount Benson area.

We watched for a few minutes and could tell it was moving constantly in small increments, but stayed in one place or area. We went inside and I got my spotting scope.

I set up my spotting scope on the dining room table by the window as I could see it from there just over the top of a building across the street, but off in the distance.

I am not sure what it was, but it didn't just stay in one spot, even for a few seconds and only travelled out of the scope and back in to where I had it focused.

It moved up down back and forth, had 4 lights across it and was shaped like a thin disk from what I could tell. It was very bright and the colour of a sparkler or a camera flash, but constant even in the spotting scope. It wasn't very large and you could never really focus on it to get a clear distinct look at it as it was too bright and not very big.

The object was still doing it’s thing off in the distance when I finally went to bed at 1:00am.

Not sure what it was, but it wasn't a plane, helicopter, weather balloon, Mars, or the Moon.

Hope to see something like that again.

Total time I and my wife watched it was about 4 hours. So I am not sure what to make of that and I am sure others seen it as well. I will be watching the news and combing the internet for a few days to see if anyone else seen anything.

Beam Of Light Witnessed Over Wynndel British Columbia

Date: 1990s

Time: Evening.

Hi, I came across your website regarding the beam of light in B.C. in 2003. In the 1990's my family saw this same thing and I was reminded about it earlier today while at a bookstore. I was leafing through an old book called Ogopogo written by Mary Moon in 1977 and in the back there was a chapter about other Okanagan phenomena.

One was called the 'Okanagan Arch' which exactly describes this beam of light. I was intrigued that it was a recurring albeit rare event so I thought I'd look it up online. I was surprised that your website was the only one I found that mentioned it. In the book, the author tells that this beam of light has been reported throughout the years, 1900's, 1920's, 30's etc. and at the time of writing it was still a mystery as to it's cause.

Sincerely.

Blue Green Object Lights Up Witnesses Property At Quenville Area Of Courtenay British Columbia

Date: December 8, 2010
Time: Around 6:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.

Ok, I don't know what I saw but here it is -

On Wednesday Dec. 8 around 6 or 6:30 PM I was walking my dogs around on my property in the Quenville area of Courtenay, which is near the Comox AFB. I had a flashlight, when all of a sudden the area around me lit up like lightening does before it strikes.

I looked up thinking I'd see lightening, but instead, I saw a bluish-green object, not quite a ball shaped thing with a long tail above me heading south along the general area of Quenville road.

It was a few hundred feet above me, but made no sound. The light it made above me lasted for approximately 4-5 seconds then the thing disappeared. I thought it could be fireworks, but then again, there was no sound.

Also, it could not have been that high if it could light up my property, and we have about 2.5 acres. Could it have been a meteor? I did call the AFB and talked to Operations. They had no information and had not received other calls (as of that night).

So what do you think it was? Did anyone else report a similar thing on that night? Thanks.

Strange Lights Over Hudson Bay Mountain In Smithers British Columbia

Date: December 14, 2010

Time: Approx: 5:30 p.m.

Hello, its good to see I'm not the only one seeing these weird lights in the sky. Tonight around 5:30 pm, I saw a very bright light appear above Hudson Bay Mountain. It moved a few yards and disappeared. I've lived in Smithers for 10 years now, and only in this last year have I seen constant sightings in the same area and out towards Telkwa, since May 2010.

I'm just very curious. I've never been much of a believer in the phenomenon, but I've seen some strange stuff, in my opinion? I don't know what to say, but I'm seeing something that defies everything I know to be normal and explainable. I am not sure what to think or believe. Simply, I just know it is real whatever it is, so what is it? Hope to hear back from you if you hear anything. Thank you.

Bright White Lights Over West Vancouver British Columbia

Date: December 4, 2010

Time: After midnight.

Hi Brian, this is in response to the lights you said you saw over the mountains to the north from Kits Beach last July. Well last Saturday around just after midnight, a friend was driving us back to the North shore from downtown over the Lions Gate bridge.

There was a check stop, so the traffic was moving quite slow. While crawling along the bridge I noticed a set of bright white lights that were hovering just over the crest of the mountains behind West Vancouver (just west of the British Properties, if you know the area).

Watching them, they slowly dipped back behind the mountains then reappeared several times over the course of about 15 minutes. We tried to speculate on what they could be, but had no idea. Definitely not a helicopter, and it was in a non-residential forested area, with houses nowhere even near. Thought it was weird enough to do a Google search, and your posting came up which I thought closely matched what we saw.

If you have heard anything about this, I would be interested to know more. If not, well I guess Ill just have to keep an eye out up there for more! Cheers,
