- "The whole province has been really
busy." - Brian Vike
-
- After a very quite year, the Northwest
is once again becoming the hotbed of UFO sightings.
-
- "The whole province has been really
busy," said Brian Vike, a world-renowned ufologist from Houston.
- "I haven't a clue why, 2005
was really dead."
-
- Vike says he gets hundreds of reports
a year from all over the world to his website www.hbccufo.org, but the
sightings that really get him excited are the local ones.
-
-
- The most recent of those occurred just
three weeks ago in Hazelton. Three witnesses reported seeing a green object
rise above the mountain, dash across the sky then disappear.
- A week before, two reports came from
Topley and Moricetown of very similar incidents on the evening of April
24. And on Feb 12, three people from Houston reported watching an egg-shaped
object hover above Mount Harry Davis for two or three minutes before dropping
out of sight.
-
- Although Vike is a believer in extraterrestrial
life, he said he ends up debunking most of the reports he gets. That was
the case April 24 when numerous residents of Terrace witnessed brilliant
blue lights in the early evening sky.
-
- Vike tracked that incident to a meteor
breaking up low in the atmosphere. "What residents of Terrace saw
is a rare event and not to many folks get to see such a fantastic sight
in broad daylight," he said.
-
- Then there are the completely inexplicable
cases like two Kelowna women who are unable to account for several hours
of their lives after they sighted a mysterious object in the sky.
- Both women sustained mysterious scars
and have reported unceasing nightmares since.
-
- That case is the subject of a segment
on CTV's Creepy Canada May 26 and 27. Vike appears on the show as an expert.
