- Between Prince George And Vancouver B.C. Black Rectangle
Viewed From West Jet Flight
-
- Date: December 2000 ?
- Time: Early afternoon.
-
- Location of Sighting: Somewhere between Prince George
& Vancouver B.C.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Rectangle.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, "Flying
Briefcase" is the best description I can give of what I saw high above
the mountains of British Columbia.
-
- The recent reports that have been sent in by others,
about black rectangles, has brought back this episode to mind.
-
- I'm not sure, but think it was likely in December around
1999 or 2000. I could be quite incorrect on the date. I just
know it was a while ago.
-
- I was flying south from Prince George to Victoria as
a passenger on a regular West Jet flight. We left Prince George in
relatively clear sky but as we neared the Coast Mountains the cloud cover
below increased. We were flying in sunshine well above the clouds,
probably at an altitude of around 30,000 feet.
-
- My seat was near the back of the plane on the right side
and I had my face pressed against the window for most of the flight. I
was watching for any gaps in the clouds below, so I was looking directly
down. We were traveling in a south west direction so the sun was not
shining on my side of the plane.
-
- That is when I saw the "briefcase" fly
past, right below the wing. If it had been much more underneath the
plane it would have been out of my line of sight.
-
- I saw it for only a second but the rectangular shape
and black color was very definite against the backdrop of white clouds
below. Instinctively I turned my head towards the back of the plane where
it had disappeared, but of course saw nothing.
-
- My thought progression went something like this. "Oh,
someone lost a briefcase. A cargo door must be open" followed by
"Don't be silly, it must have been a very big bird. Lucky we
didn't hit it!" and "I wish we could turn around and take another
look".
-
- I sat bemused for a while, acknowledging to myself that
I don't think any birds really fly that high and even if they did, I don't
know of any that are shaped like a rectangle! I knew it wasn't lost
luggage. I've already been on a plane flying out of Prince George
that had an open door in the cargo area. Believe me, we noticed!
-
- I don't know if anyone else saw the shape. The pilots
might have since we flew right over it, but they certainly weren't going
to get on the intercom and say something like" Wow! Did any of
you see that black thing we almost hit? I wonder what it was?"
-
- Since that time I've periodically thought about finding
someone who has skills in physics. I certainly don't. I would
like to be able to calculate the size of the object. I know it was actually
much larger than a briefcase. At the speed we were going I imagine
a briefcase would have been no more than a quick black flash, if that. I
feel the shape was quite close to the plane because of the speed it passed
by. I've been in jets when I've looked out to see other large jets
going the opposite direction not far below us. They are visible and
easily identifiable for a relatively long time.
-
- As far as I know we were about 30,000 feet and traveling
around 400 mph. I don't know how high the clouds were but we were well
above them. The object was between us and the clouds.
-
- So my physics question is. Assuming the object was
stationary and within a thousand feet of the plane, at the speed we were
going, how big would it need to be to appear to be the size of a briefcase.
-
- Any help on that?
-
- Thanks Brian.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Northern New York and Southern Ontario Object Lands
-
- Date: June 15, 2007 (edited)
-
- I just wanted to give you a general update on Northern
New York and Southern Ontario. I have been witness also to the solid white
and blue objects that are being reported around the globe. Almost every
night, I see at least two of these objects. They run east to west or west
to east in direction, which is opposite to the direction of most aircraft.
Last week, I saw more than 6 of these objects in one night.
-
-
- I was getting ready to go inside when I noticed - a few
hundred feet above the trees in my backyard - a solid white light that
brightened 6x the magnitude it was, almost like it was acknowledging it
saw I was looking.
-
- That same night, my son and I went out for a quick dusk
bike ride and spotted two objects, solid black in color, running together.
However, it was dark enough that their lights should have been visible
at that time of the day but weren't. That sighting lasted approximately
5 minutes. There was no jet sound and no contrail visible. There was also
a lot of commercial airplane traffic that night, but a lot of the planes
exhibited no sound whatever...and the 'planes' had a ton of lights on them.
Could someone publish a list of standard lights associated with commercial
airplanes? Also, one other thing: this same night I witnessed a lot of
activity near the Big Dipper. Centered off the top corner of the 'spoon'
part were at least a dozen solid color objects moving back and forth.
I'm getting to the point of feeling that something big is about to happen,
the boldness and frequency of sightings is out of control.
-
- Along with all this, on Friday June 15th, 2007, I believe I
witnessed a vehicle landing on the ground. We were at a drive-in theatre
about a half-hour from here located in Alex Bay, NY. We were getting out
of the vehicle to get ready to go when I spotted a solid white and blue
object at a low altitude heading in the easterly direction. When I left
the drive-in,
-
- I chose to go in the same direction the object traveled,
on state route 26. After about 5 minutes of driving, I noticed something
strange along the road. I saw an object on the right side which had
about 10 perfectly rectangular lights in a row with some soft orange round
lights situated right above the rectangular lights (which were a soft white/blue
color that seemed translucent). There was a white 'fog' or 'steam' near
the object. The whole situation made me nervous and I didn't say anything
to the rest of the family. So the next day I went on Google earth to look
and see if there was a building in the location I saw the object...and
there wasn't anything there. So, on Father's Day, we went up there to
investigate and found no building of any kind. I plan on going back again
to see if there was any damage to the surrounding terrain and whether anyone
else experienced anything strange that night.
-
- Thank you to the witness for keeping me updated on what
is happening in their area.

- Fort McMurray, Alberta V Shaped UFOs
-
- Date: June 2007 (?)
- Time: N/A (edited)
-
- Hi Brian, two months approx ago, I saw a V- shaped
UFO, approximately 60-70 feet above the ground at night round about
12:15 am. My friend saw it, too. We saw three other Vs, exactly the shape
of V with all the lights at the bottom, going at high speed...never
saw any thing moving that fast in sky. I never believed in UFOs but now
I do. I am in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
-
- Never send an e-mail to anyone because nobody believes
you. I used to laugh at people.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Kelowna, British Columbia Military AWAC Flew Over Lake
Corridor
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: Possible connection to the July
2, 2007 UFO Battle over Kelowna, British Columbia.
-
- Normally, I would never report on any thing like this.
However, I would like to help you research one specific case you are working
on. My family and I were in Kelowna visiting relatives. We were having
lunch at a park by Knox mountain when a Military AWAC flew very low along
the lake corridor. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and this immediately
sparked my interest. I grew up in Kelowna and military activity had never
been observed by me before, so it sparked my interest. I found this occurrence
very puzzling. I did not get a very good look since I saw it through the
trees, however being into aviation, there is no mistaking the AWAC with
its distinctive DISC on the top of the fuselage. This brings me to my long-winded
point. I waited a few weeks and googled "Kelowna" "AWAC"
which eventually led me to your site. I saw that you are doing research
on this event, and I thought it might be advantageous for you to have another
eyewitness account of this aircraft flying in the area. I did not see any
UFO activity. I have in the past seen UFO activity on four separate occasions,
so I am sympathetic to your cause. Mine may be just a simple eyewitness
account which my have little bearing on your research, but I do hope it
helps.
-
- I would like to thank the witness for the report on the
aircraft.

- Northeastern Sky In London Ontario Fireball
-
- Date: July 15, 2007
- Time: 3:30 a.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Northeastern sky in London Ontario.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Fireball.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I was sitting out
on my balcony having a cigarette when out of nowhere a fireball appeared,
heading north. It was only visible for maybe 5 seconds, and then it disappeared.
I then looked in the direction it was traveling, and saw it again, only
much smaller, just like a normal star, except it was the same orange color.
I saw it again for another 5 seconds roughly, and then it just faded away.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Bolton, Ontario A Boomerang Shaped Object
-
- Date: July 31, 2007
- Time: 9:00 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Bolton, Ontario.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Boomerang.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: It was around 9:00
pm and my wife and I were out on the back porch. I was doing some brief
star gazing, observing the constellations Cygnus, Aquila and Lyra (the
summer triangle).
-
- I was studying the stars for only a mere matter of minutes
before I noticed something shooting straight through Cygnus and heading
towards Lyra (actually close to Vega which is inside Lyra). It was white
and grey in appearance and it had a boomerang shape to it. Almost like
a banana shape and it was moving with the arc of object facing forward
in its movement. It was quite fast, much faster than any satellite and
it did NOT show the sameness of a meteor flare-up. I don't know what a
comet might look like if traveling through the atmosphere.
-
- It only took about 10 seconds or more for the object
to pass through the two mentioned constellations and then it simply vanished
as it headed in a south/south/west (or so) direction.
-
- It was amazing to say the least. Never saw this sort
of thing before. Whether it is a UFO, I don't know, as it didn't seem to
display any 'tricky' flight control. But is was fast, and did have that
distinctive shape to it. Thanks.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Killeen Ft. Hood, Central Texas A Steady White Glow
(Unknown Object)
-
- Date: August 2, 2007
- Time: 9:30 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Killeen/Ft. Hood
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Number of objects: 2
- Shape of objects: ?
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: My husband was standing
in our front yard talking to a friend of his. He came in to get me and
told me to check it out. I looked up and there was something flying extremely
fast. About a minute later another one followed. My husband told me that
I missed the first one. We live next to Fort Hood army base so we are used
to seeing military aircraft. The sky was clear except for a few random
clouds. We have watched the space station go our us numerous times and
these things moved a lot faster than that. There were no flashing lights
just a steady white like glow.

- North Devon, U.K. A Blue - Silver Sphere
-
- Date: August 2, 2007
- Time: Approx: 4.30 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Back garden at home.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 2
- Shape of objects: Spheres.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, Although
I emailed you about my sighting earlier today, just after it happened.
At about 4.30pm today, I was in my back garden playing around with a new
digital camera my husband bought me a couple days ago. I was looking around
for things to photograph and thought I'd take some photos of the birds
etc, I had a thought that it would be great if I could see a UFO and
take a photo of it (I swear this is true). Just after I thought it, I
was looking up into the sky and to my absolute amazement I noticed a blue/silver
sphere in the sky in an easterly direction. I was amazed. I just stood
there looking up at it when it seemed to either get bigger or nearer.
I then saw a second identical smaller sphere appear to the left of the
larger sphere. The smaller object hung there for about a minute and then
disappeared. The larger one stayed there. I was trying to take photos
of it. I still haven't got the hang of using the zoom yet and so just kept
aiming it and hoping for the best that I'd get a photo of it.
-
- The larger sphere - after hanging there for a few minutes
- then started moving on towards the east at a higher altitude and then
disappeared from sight. The whole sighting lasted approx 4 - 5 minutes.
I then went back indoors as quickly as I could to email you. Next, I down-loaded
the photos from my camera. On first viewing, it seemed that I had
not managed to get a picture of what I'd seen. However, on closer inspection
I could see that, in fact, I did get a picture of one of the spheres. Later
in the evening, I was able to actually enlarge the photo and could very
clearly see the sphere.
-
- Brian, it's me again. Look very closely at photo number
2 (almost top centre) and THERE IT IS. I just spotted it - I'm so excited,
and NO it wasn't dust on my monitor screen, study them closely, please.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report and photos. The
photos are copyright 2007 to the owner.

- Seattle, Washington Meteor Debris Streaks Though The
Sky
-
- Date: August 2, 2007
- Time: Approx: 8:46 p.m.
-
- I was driving east on I90 E on the Seattle floating
bridge, approximately 2046 hrs. PST. about my visual 1 - 2 o'clock, southeasterly,
about 40 degrees above eastern Cascade Mountain horizon. A highly
luminescent streak lasting approx 2 seconds, then contrail or smaller streaks/dashes,
then a dot and gone.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Glace Bay, Nova Scotia An Extremely Bright White Light
-
- Date: August 2, 2007
- Time: 10:45 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Patio deck, back yard.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Very bright ball of white light.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I was debating on
reporting this or not but when I read about the Pleasant Bay sighting, I
changed my mind. I think it could have been the same thing. I was
scanning the sky as I do every chance I get. I noticed an
extremely bright white light just as bright or possibly a little brighter
than Venus, but the weird thing is the fact that their was nothing in that
part of the sky when I first looked. Then I turned my head for
maybe 3 seconds to the left and when I looked back to the right, an
object was there. It was moving very slowly, east to west, at approximately
30-40 thousand feet. As I watched it move, the light almost 'imploded'
down to that of a regular-sized star, and then it just slowly flew away
until it was out of sight. I thought you might be interested in all
this, considering the other sighting. There definitely seems to be a fair
amount of activity in our area, and I'm sure if more people started to
keep their eyes open, they would notice this, too.

- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Edson, Alberta Object Moves Around The Sky And Then Descends
-
- Date: August 3, 2007
- Time: 12:05 a.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Edson
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Bright bluish and circular in shape.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Never thought I would
be posting but here we are. (maybe hoped is a better word). I had gone
to bed about 10:30pm tonight. Woke up about 11:55pm to get a drink of water
and go to the bathroom. Before heading to bed, I looked out my balcony
window ( as I usually do before heading back to bed in the middle
of the night, always was a habit). My place faces the south.
-
- When glancing out the window, I noticed a bright star
like object in the south east sky, kind of bluish in color, and noticed
a very constant flash about it. I stood there waiting and watching it,
figuring it might just as well be a star. Then it started to move very
rapidly and going in all directions. I went back inside to get a cigarette,
and it was still there when I came back out to the balcony. It was moving
towards the west and still kept it's brightness. It was way too low to
be a star, moved too fast to be a satellite, and was too high to be a plane.
It made no sound at all. As I continued to watch it, it stopped directly
over the street I live on (but still way up there). It stayed there hovering
for about a half hour, still blinking and flashing. My boyfriend was asleep,
so I woke him up to make sure I wasn't seeing things. He came out to the
balcony and looked up at the object. All he said was "what the heck
is that"?. He stood there with me for a few minutes and then headed
back to bed.
-
- By this time it was about 45 minutes since I had first
saw it. I sat on a chair on my balcony, I noticed it starting to go away
but was too fascinated to go inside. It headed out north west and was almost
impossible to see anymore, so I figured I would go back to bed. That's
when it started to come back my way. It was about 1:15am at this time.
I sat there still keeping my eye on it and noticed it starting to descend.
It was close enough to make out a circle shape every time the flashing
occurred and still no sound from the object. My place faces a CN railroad
to the south, and some forest back there, it descended what looked like
into the forest and disappeared. I was so freaked out, never seen a UFO
before but I am 100% certain that's what I saw early this morning.
-
- Thank you to the witness for this report.

- Meteor Sighting Avon, Ohio
-
- Date: August 3, 2007
- Time: 10:05 p.m.
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: If anyone else witnessed this
meteor sighting on August 03, 2007 at approx: 10:05 p.m. would you please
file a report to HBCC UFO Research as the information is so very important.
Thank you, Brian Vike.
-
- While walking dogs a 10:05 p.m. on August 03, 2007
experienced a meteor sighting Northeast to Southwest. A massive white
fireball lasting about 2 seconds then disappearing but leaving a short
contrail which lasted for about 2 more seconds. Absolutely awesome! Perfectly
clear very starry night, high humidity, temp around 80 Fahrenheit. Did
anyone else report this? What a blessing to experience!

- Orangeville, Ontario Unknown Bright Object
-
- Date: August 3, 2007
- Time: 9:30 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Orangeville.
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Oval.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Out on the deck in
the backyard this evening and looking to the south a bright object appeared
flying at an altitude of about 5 to 7 thousand feet. It looked at first
to be flying in a northerly direction then seemed to arc in a more easterly
then southeasterly direction. Moved at about the same rate of speed a satellite
would, but visibly wasn't moving in a straight line as a satellite does.
The light off the object seemed to flare out to the sides slightly. It
gave the impression of a wobble. There was a small aircraft heading to
the southeast as well flying at a lower altitude which seemed to bank and
drop its altitude to have a look at what this was also. There is a small
airport 20 km south of here, and Pearson is about 40km from here.We've
seen plenty of planes and satellites in the sky, this light was neither
in our opinion.

- Thank you to the witness for their report.
