- Tuc-El-Nuit Lake Oliver British Columbia 1950s Flying
Saucer
-
- Date: Early to mid 1950's
- Time: Early afternoon.
-
- Location of Sighting: Tuc-el-nuit Lake Oliver B.C.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Saucer shape on top and bottom.
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: Now this is a really interesting
sighting report since there appears to have been more people who witnessed
this object as the person reporting mentions the radio station carried
a news story on this craft being observed by others. I would like to request
from other who were in that area at the time and if they saw this craft,
would you please be kind enough to contact me here at HBCC UFO Research
with the details of what you saw. Thank you, Brian.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I recall I was 8
or 10 years old and playing by myself in our back yard on the west side
of Tuc-el-Nuit Lake.
-
- I was not looking at the lake but was facing north.
A movement over my right shoulder caught my attention and I turned towards
the lake.
-
- Flying very low above the lake and coming from the south
was a very strange looking airplane. It had no wings, no propeller,
was the same shape top and bottom and made no sound. The size was
a bit bigger than any plane I'd seen before and the only planes I had seen
were small private planes. I'd never been to a big airport. The
colour a silver grey. The lake was only half a mile wide at that point
so "the plane" was quite close and only about three times
as high as our rooftop. If it had been a float plane I would have expected
it to be landing at the far end of the lake.
-
- It was moving only a little faster than I would
have expected a plane to fly. I watched it continue up the lake then
went back to my playing.
-
- Later when I went in the house I told my mother about
the strange plane I'd seen.
-
- A short time later she heard on the 5:00 pm
news that a "flying saucer" had been seen by a great many people
flying north up the Okanagan Valley. It fit the description of what
I'd seen so she told me about it. The radio station was CKOK
Penticton.
-
- I wasn't overly impressed as I'd never even heard of
flying saucers. My parents were aware of them but it was never a topic
that they had any reason to discuss. To me it was just a funny looking
airplane. In fact, if it had not been on the news I doubt that I would
have remembered it as the years went by. Of course to see it now would
be very exciting and I would pay a lot more attention!
-
- Over the years I've looked at archives of sightings in
B.C. but have never seen mention of that event. That surprises me
a bit since several people apparently reported it to the radio station
at the time.
-
- Unfortunately I can't give the exact year. I just
know it was after 1950 and before 1960. It was around the time that my
parents were part of a team of volunteers that had to report any planes
they heard or saw during their shift. My parents shift was midnight
to 2 A.M.. Both being teachers they used the time to mark papers! Years
later when I asked why they were doing that, they couldn't remember
what it was about but that it was being done in more areas than Oliver.
-
- Around that same time period there was another sighting
in the sky that I noted but did not think about more than just briefly. I
was in the same area of Oliver playing with some friends. This was
early afternoon in the summer. They were standing above me on a mound of
dirt and as I was looking at them I noticed three bright lights in the
sky to the north. They looked like very bright stars and formed a
small triangle. We all watched them for a while but they didn't move
so we went on playing. Over the next half hour whenever we looked
up they were there. Since I remembered my father saying that as a
boy in Alert Bay (1920's) he and a friend once watched several unmoving
"stars" for a whole afternoon I just assumed that we also were
looking at stars. Yes we knew that it was unusual to see stars in
the daylight. The reason I remembered the event was that I was pleased
that I'd seen something special that my dad had seen when he was about
my age. Since then I've looked for stars in the daytime sky when the air
is very clear but have never seen any.
-
- I realize this report is from a long time ago but I am
hoping you have records of this from other people. If nothing
else I appreciate the opportunity to at last tell someone about the event.
Thank-you.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the wonderful report.

- Tuc-El-Nuit Lake Oliver, British Columbia Between 1954
And 1958 A V Formation
-
- Date: Between 1954 And 1958
- Time: Daylight Sighting.<br><br>
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: The sister for the below report
is referring to her sisters sighting:
- http://www.hbccufo.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2307
-
- This is a bit of an unusual addition to a report you
posted earlier.
-
- My older sister submitted the report "Tuc-El-Nuit
Lake Oliver, British Columbia 1950s Flying Saucer". She emailed me
to take a look at this site, and I read her submission. Now, it gets
a bit strange.
-
- This was the very first time I heard about her seeing
this event. That in itself is not particularly strange, but I saw
something similar, and she did not know of my sighting nor I hers! Reading
her report was a bit of a shock, to say the least.
-
- What follows is a description of what I saw sometime
between 1954 and 58. I was somewhere between 4 and 8 years old.
-
- It was a bright day with a solid high overcast, and I
believe in the afternoon. No wind and a warm day.
-
- I was outside by the lake shore, facing south. Something
attracted my attention and I looked up high to my left in time to see three
objects streak towards the south. They were moving much faster than any
ducks flew, and were absolutely silent. There was no flapping of wings
or any body movement whatsoever. They did not appear to be descending,
but got smaller as they flew out of sight behind a row of Poplar trees
about 100M away.
-
- There were three objects, flying in a "V" formation.
They looked to me at the time like ducks with no tails and very short
stubby wings. They were dark in colour and I saw no markings or distinguishable
features. My age and lack of any other reference led me to assume they
were just weird birds. What seemed unusual to me at the time other than
the weird shape was the speed and silence of their flight.
-
- They appeared to me as ducks would look if they were
flying 10 or 15 M above my head. I should have seen details and heard
the murmuring that ducks make as they fly.
-
- I told my Mom and Dad about the "ducks". They
questioned me but couldn't really come to any satisfactory conclusions
and we just shrugged and moved on.
-
- My sister and I talked about these events for the first
time today. Neither of us were aware of the other's sighting. We are
not really able to figure out who saw what first, but we are both certain
that we did not know of each other's story. We are equally certain that
we saw what we saw, and are not "remembering" a story we heard
from the other.
-
- FYI. Tuc-el-nuit Lake is, according to Indian legend,
the birthplace of Ogopogo. He apparently swam up the Okanagan river to
Okanagan Lake. The "Okanagan Arch" is also visible from this
area.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Clovis, New Mexico UFO Ex Air Force Serviceman Talks
About What He Knew
-
- Date: January 1976
-
- My next door neighbor and I also had some involvement
with the Clovis UFO. I also knew Steve Muscato, the photographer who took
the original picture for the local newspaper. His photo is of the
stationary object that hung directly over Clovis for several days. I
believe it occurred over quite a few days. There was one stationary
light, in addition to other moving objects that many people saw. Plus,
there was a photo in the paper of a mystery object found in a field. At
the time, I was 14 years old. My next door neighbor Bob was an Air
Force electronics technician who was an amateur ham radio operator and
amateur astronomer. He and I spent a night on the top floor of the
Hotel Clovis observing the UFO hanging in the sky. He used some sort
of equipment to determine how high in the sky the stationary object was.
-
- He excitedly reported that in his judgment the object
was approximately 300 miles above the Earth. I also took some photos,
but I no longer have them. Bob was told to shut up by the base and
quit "exciting the locals with wild stories." Bob didn't tell
me about this, but his wife later related the story of the phone call he
got from his boss, to my mother. I also heard stories of guys coming
from "Project Blue Book" to investigate, but my Dad, an Air Force
master sergeant, said that was ridiculous because Project Blue Book didn't
exist. As an adult, I served a number of years in the Air Force and
my job put me in contact with virtually every plane in the U.S. and NATO
inventory. Some have claimed that the UFOs were British harrier jets.
-
- Absolutely not so. I grew up around jets my whole
life and could identify them even as a child. Neither were they weather
balloons. I would have to research, but I'm not sure the harriers
were even operational at that time. In all reality, one has to try
very hard in order to mistake a jet fighter for anything else. The
whole thing was very interesting, and ended as mysteriously as it started. There
was no real closure. But if you recall, Clovis was part of a rather
massive UFO "scare" that occurred for a few years nationwide,
beginning with the incident at Pasagoula, Miss, I think a couple of years
earlier. It was a busy time for UFO activity.
-
- You can contact me at (private contact information removed) if
you like.
-
- Thank you to Jonathan for his report, and also thank
you to this gentleman for taking the time to have a long telephone conversation
over this event and other things.

- Munchweiler Germany Unusual Lights
-
- Brian, I wanted to comment on a article in reference
to Munchweiler Germany sighting. I was also with my father and stationed
in Munchweiler from 1982 to 1985.
-
- I knew a (name removed) who lived in the stairwell
that was mentioned in the article. My father was stationed on this
post - not parmesans. Between this building and the school a "BMX
track" was constructed by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers in late
1983. We spent a lot of time on that thing.
-
- One night myself and a friend were in front of this building
and over the mountain on the "German Town" side we noticed lights
flying over the hill. The colors were different than normal aircraft lights
and there was not a bit of noise. We took special notice to this because
a lot of the times Nato aircraft would fly over on there way to France
since Munchweiler in on the border. That night it was completely silent.
-
- I never said a word to anyone about this until now and
reading this article. This is very interesting and just wanted to pass
this on. I lived one building
- behind the one that is mentioned. If you go to Google
earth and place yourself in front of the building that is in question by
the school, then rotate to ground
- level you will see the mountain that I am speaking of.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Langford, British Columbia Dark Triangular Craft
-
- Date: February - Approx: year 1999
- Time: Approx 1:00 a.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Langford BC from our backyard.
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Triangle.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Sorry to be fuzzy
on the exact date but it was along time ago and after our encounter we
came into the house and each drew our rendition of what we saw. I'm in
the process of looking for our drawings from that night. The reason we
were out in the yard at that hour was it was supposed to be one of the
best nights in decades to see meteor showers. We weren't disappointed and
had some long colorful shooting stars fill up the sky as we laid on sleeping
bags in our backyard (actually on the driveway for the clearest view).
My husband was getting frustrated because he kept missing the awesome ones
I was seeing because he had been looking the other way. This went
on a few times until finally he said tell me exactly where you're looking
and I'll look there too. All of a sudden from our far left (east facing
direction) we saw a dark shape in the sky. It was a triangle of sorts with
a bit of a curve to the shape. Our two drawings did not totally match the
outer shape but the body.
-
- What did match was the fact that there were perfectly
round holes going across the body of this thing in rows. The object was
black but the holes looked even darker in color, it moved quite slowly
straight across the sky and made no noise what-so-ever. We both exclaimed,"what
the heck is that" and watched it go across our sight line and disappear
behind the roof of the house. We probably watched it for about 10 seconds
and were not able to figure out how high it was or how big it was because
there was nothing to compare it too. If there had been a sound it might
have helped us gauge how high up it was. If it was a toy of some kind it
still would have made a sound. We were completely blown away and happy
that both of us had seen because we knew no one would believe it. I called
our local observatory the following day hoping others had seen it and there
was an explanation but they politely told me to chalk it up to a unique
experience. We've never forgotten this and have never seen anything else
unusual in our lives, but reading an article on you in our local paper
today and seeing the reference to a triangle object made me want to write
and share our story. It would sure be nice to know what this thing was.
Take care and thanks for letting me share.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the excellent report.

- Westbank, British Columbia Saucer Shaped UFO
-
- Date: June 2006
- Time: 1:00 a.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Westbank.
- Number of witnesses: 0
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Saucer like.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I was watching a
movie, paused it and went outside to smoke a colt. I noticed a light red
pink tinge object in the sky over Okanagan Lake. I grabbed my handy cam
and began to film it. The object moved out of frame and I took my
eye out of the viewfinder so I could try and find the object in the
sky. I did but it was smaller. I began to film again only this time the
object moved around in quick sprits and then simply fades out.
-
- I have showed family and friends and they all seem to
have mixed opinions on what it could be. But, we all agree that what ever
the object is, it defiantly needs some kind of scientific explanation.
-
- I heard about your site from a program I watched on the
space channel. The program was based on UFO spottings in Kelowna.
Some ladies went for a late evening drive and saw a UFO and aliens or something.....I
thought if I wasn't the only one from around here spotting UFO's, I might
as well e-mail you and tell you about my story and show you the footage I
got. Weird thing is I remember the object was the same colour
as the object I spotted last June.
-
- My friend and I also saw what we believe was a UFO years
ago in Kelowna over Okanagan Lake from the Eldorado development in the
mission.
-
- Cheers.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

- Flesherton, Ontario Green To Blue To White Streak
(Fireball/Meteor Sighting)
-
- Date: March 11, 2007
- Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.
-
- Dear Brian, well I thought I'd put in my own two
cents on the Ontario Green Meteor story. I was on Highway 4 just coming
into Flesherton, Ontario, and stop at a phone booth. While I was on the
phone, looking west, I suddenly saw a green-to-blue-to-white streak low
on the horizon, traveling north to south. "Wow!.. I said, and I repeated
"Wow!.... and said to the person on the line "Just give a second
I just saw something" as I left the phone and followed the trajectory.
I got a real good view of the meteor 5 or 6 seconds in all. I checked my
car clock and it said approx. 8:00 p.m. I've been meaning to check the
web since then for sighting reports. You say there are media reports of
this event? I can't seem to find any. Thanks for your postings. It's especially
interesting to read the account from the guy in Stoney Creek who says he
knows where it landed! Any information on an actual discovery, crater,
fragments ? Thanks.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Manhattan, Illinois A Small Thick Cigar Shaped UFO
-
- Date: March 11, 2007
- Time: Approx: 7:00 to 7:30 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: In Manhattan.
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: It looked to be a small thick cigar
shape, 1 to 4 ratio, 30 to 40 feet long.
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: The witness is going to send
along the footage of what was caught on film so I can have a look at it.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Dear Brian Vike,
my 9 year old son and I were standing on a second story balcony and we
were facing east. The sun was to our backs and it was still light out,
around 7:15 pm. We saw this black object about 30 feet long that was moving
from the south to the north right over the middle of town. If I would hold
my hand out the object would be about has big as a fat grain of rice at
my finger tips. This object made no sound and was moving at about 40 MPH,
very slow. It was only about 1 mile away at the most. I ran into my kitchen
and grabbed my JVC digital movie camera and captured just a few seconds
of this object before it went behind a leafless tree. My camera then started
to focus on the tree and then I could not see it any more. But in the video
you could still see this black dot. I feel so lucky to have captured what
I did. The very last time I used this camera was for Christmas at my parents
so I have footage of Santa handing out presents and then a UFO going behind
a tree.
-
- Sometime in January I believe my ex-wife and the same
son saw a black object just floating very slowly above Manhattan just before
midnight. This object was black and had a very large floodlight on it shining
horizontally. My son said that it was very big and it looked like a batman
symbol being projected into the clouds. I'm wondering if it was projecting
a beam down to the ground or into someone's home. They both said it left
going straight up. They watched it for about a minute. I am so glad she
saw this because she has never been a believer.
-
- We are about 30 miles south from O-Hare airport. I now
have 3 cameras and am ready for more shots. Enjoy listing to you on Rense.
Keep up the good work.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

- East Of Cochrane, Alberta An Enormous Bright Light
-
- Date: March 26, 2007
- Time: 9:00 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: West
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Shape of star.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: As with the person
from Canmore Ab., I also saw this enormous light on the same date and time.
-
- I was on my way to go to town around 9:00 pm. I take
the 1A highway going East to reach Cochrane. As I was just getting
ready to turn onto the highway I looked left (which is towards Canmore)
and saw this huge star! It was like nothing I have ever seen as part of
the normal night sky.
-
- I decided to park at the exit of our place just watch
this thing. I must have waited for a good five minutes and then left for
town. I should also mention that the color of this object was not
like anything else in the night sky. It was a brilliant white but also
had a tinge of yellow in it .
-
- Brian, so happy to have you back, you were missed.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Coeur d'Alene, Idaho A Large Green Fireball (?)
-
- Date: March 31, 2007
- Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Coeur d'Alene, ID USA
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects:
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: My wife, daughter,
and I were driving southbound Saturday evening and saw a large green fireball
(?) high in the sky to our right which was headed approximately South-Southeast.
To me the most amazing part was that it was still dusk and not fully dark,
and the sky was overcast, yet all three of us clearly saw this very bright
object through the clouds for 3-5 seconds. It must have been very bright
to be seen through the clouds, brighter than the full moon.
-
- When trying to see if others reported it online, I was
very surprised with the high number of green fireballs that have been
seen in the last couple of months! I wonder what it could mean?
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Roanoke County, Virginia Possible Triangular Craft Making
Loud Noise
-
- Date: April 1, 2007
- Time: 10:00 pm + or.
-
- Location of Sighting: Southwestern Roanoke County, VA.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Possible triangular.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, I'm
writing to tell you of an incident on Sunday night, April 1, 2007, but
I'm not sure what I saw.
-
- Date: Sunday night, April 1, 2007
- Location: Western Roanoke County, VA: Nearest town: Elliston.
- Time: 10:00 pm? Full moon was high in sky.
- Witnesses: 1
- Objects: 1, possibly triangular.
-
- I had gone outside to look at the full moon. The sky
was packed with dense patches of clouds moving west to east. The full moon
was high toward the south and clearly visible through an enormous circular
hole in the clouds. It was a beautiful sight and I stood looking at it
for a few minutes. I had just turned away from the moon to head back inside
when, to the NNW, I heard an enormously loud (jet?) engine and looked up
to see a very low, slow-moving craft passing overhead between the ridges
of the hollow where I live. This craft was just above treetop level and
for all the world looked like a plane that had slowed down and was getting
ready to land. The only problem is, there is no landing field anywhere
around here. Very flew planes of any kind fly over my house (except chemtrailers,
of course, high up). I live in the middle of forest, farm, and wild land,
hilly wooded country, in southwestern Virginia.
-
- I had about 15-20 seconds of viewing as the craft moved
from NNW to NNE between the ridgelines, then it passed beyond the ridge
and out of sight. It was extremely loud, low, and slow.
-
- I spent a few seconds being befuddled, wondering why
any airplane would be there at all, looking like it was going to land.
Then I noticed that it wasn't an ordinary plane. There were three stationary
red lights and one blinking white light. The red lights were laid out as
if this were a triangle, one at the nose, the other two spaced out behind,
as if at corners. The blinking white light was in the middle, above the
plane of the red lights. I could perceive no physical shape connecting
the lights. The craft was not huge, not bigger than a normal commercial
plane, but not small either.
-
- It all happened quickly. I am absolutely sure it was
a craft flying low and slow and that the sound of (jet?) engines was very
loud. I am sure there were 3 red lights and one blinking white light.
Aren't most triangles silent?
-
- On the other side of the ridge in the direction it was
headed is the Spring Hill Reservoir. Maybe it was going there to refuel
on water?
-
- That's it. The only other interesting thing (maybe connected
with this, maybe not) is that sometimes at night I hear a prolonged roaring
on the other side of the ridge to the west of me, as if several jets are
taking off at the same time or sitting with their engines revved up. After
minutes of this, the roaring fades out as if moving away. I can't see anything
because the ridge is in the way and I never see lights in the sky after
these roaring noises that would indicate a plane over that way. To the
best of my knowledge, there's only more hilly wooded country over there.
