Terrace Standard newspaper April 2, 2003 http://www.terracestandard.com/ Article under the Community section.

Terrace is living up to its reputation as a UFO hot spot. As many as 30 people may have recently witnessed two black, triangular-shaped flying objects in the Lakelse Lake area, the northwest's resident UFO researcher has been told.
Brian Vike, field researcher and president of HBCC-UFO, is now hoping to talk to eyewitnesses to verity the report.
He also wants to find out more details like the exact time, date and description of the sighting - thought to have taken place several weeks ago.
That would help him determine what witnesses saw. A variety of known objects such as stars, planets, meteors, or aircraft can be mistaken for UFOs.
Vike learned about the sighting after someone sent him an email telling him that more than 30 people had witnessed two triangular objects in the sky.
"I'm kind of chomping at the bit - all I need is a couple of names and number to get on this," he said from his home base in Houston, B.C. "From what I'm gathering, they're professional people - not just kids."
Vike is intrigued by the possibility that the sighting involves triangular-shaped objects, which are less commonly reported.
There's been a flurry of UFO reports along the Highway 16 corridor lately.
"It's just been non stop for the last little bit," he said, adding he's received eight or nine reports in the past week. "There's something. I don't know if it's military. It's a possibility."
Another recent report from the Terrace area involved a yellow ball of light the size of a basketball spotted over a trailer in Thornhill. It moved low in the air, travelling quickly before pausing above the mountain. "Then it proceeded like a bang," Vike says.
The recent activity suggests Terrace's top ten showing on the 2002 Canada UFO survey may have been no fluke. The survey counted 25 eyewitness reports from Terrace in 2002, putting us in third place overall, ahead of Houston, B.C., which is in fourth place and even ahead of major metropolitan areas like Toronto and Vancouver.

Telkwa, British Columbia A Large Bright Mass (UFO)
Posted: January 25, 2008
Date: May 19, 2002 Time: approx: 1:05 a.m.
I spoke today (September 5, 2002) with two people. One was the witness who watched an extremely bright light ( a large mass) flying very slowly over their farm, and the sister of this gentleman who was the one who informed me of this event.
The witnesses sister told me about an event that took place back on May 19, 2002 on her brothers farm in Telkwa, British Columbia, Canada. The sister lives in Smithers, B.C. and works for a well known business and of course wanted to remain anonymous. She filled me in with a little information in which her brother had told to her after the May 19, experience, and how it effected him mentally after seeing what he saw. I asked her if she thought her brother might talk to me about what happened, and she said she would call him, it wasn't long afterwards when the witness did call. One of the first things he asked was, would I have an explanation to what he had seen.
The witness went on to say that he went to bed around 11:30 p.m. on May 19, 2002 and was woken up approx an hour and a half later due to his dogs barking like crazy, he mentioned it was normal for them to bark at coyotes which are around the farm howling at night, or other wildlife which crosses their fields. The witness said the dogs also were acting up more than normal, and they did sound rather stressed at something, so he got up out of bed to see what was bothering the dogs, also telling them to be quiet.
As he walked through the kitchen towards the back door, we noticed a bright glow of white light coming in through the kitchen window. ( Investigator note: I know exactly where his property is, as I was just out in the neighborhood just recently interviewing witnesses from the July 29, 2002 sighting. There are no street lights in his area and the occasional light from a neighbor's farm in the distance.)
He went outside and walked out looking to see where this light was coming from. Over the field and approx: 1000 feet up, a large mass of white light was slowly moving across the sky heading in a northwesterly direction. (I asked just how fast was the mass of light moving, his example of the speed was, "it moved a fast a small Ultra-light aircraft or close to it"). The witness said the whole field, trees, home, and barns were all bathed in this white light. He watched this for a few seconds, then called his pets and ran back into his home.
Now when I talked with his sister, I asked if he reported the sighting to anyone after it happened, such as the RCMP in Smithers. Now she thinks he did, so I am assuming he mentioned this to her. But when I asked him, he said he had not told anyone other than his family. (HBCC Note: When I dropped by the RCMP detachment about a month ago, they did not have any other sighting reports on file, as I asked. Mind you, I knew they had one other report as they took the details off of me and opened a file on it).
The witness did not want to go into it much more. But his sister did tell me that he was a mess after the encounter. She said the whole family had not believed in UFOs to speak of, but did always wonderful if there could be some form of life out "there". She also said it took him months to finally deal with it, and get back to a somewhat normal routine.
Thank you to the folks for there report.
