- Vietnam Veteran's Visitation
-
- Brian, Thank you for your interest because it seems that
no one wants to listen. I'm not the kind of person that gets excited about
things so I didn't send a thing for a long time, but it lay on my mind.
-
- I'm a disabled Vietnam Veteran and I ran a halfway house,
for getting homeless Veterans off the street and, hopefully, back into
some kind of home/shelter. We have so far, gotten eight guys off drugs
and, either back with their families or into a house of their own, with
a great support structure, of volunteers or other vets. God has been good
to us.
-
- I had finished my daily chores and decided to go to bed.
I hadn't quite dozed off yet, I was kind of just laying there talking
with God, as I noticed a bright light come on in my room. I didn't need
to open my eyes because it was bright enough to see through my eyelids.
-
- I thought it was odd because of the nature of our tenants,
we never go into each others rooms unannounced, but, for some reason, I
still didn't open my eyes. I just waited for whoever it was, to speak.
No one ever did and my memory goes blank, at that point.
-
- Being a combat Vet, it is my nature to investigate anything
out of the ordinary, but this time, for some reason, I just didn't.
-
- My next impression was of being light (i.e. without weight).
I don't recall a floating sensation, as one would expect, should the effects
of gravity cease, just a weightless sensation.
-
- After that, a period of time passed, I suppose, then
I heard/felt a crunching feeling/sound. I can't describe exactly what it
was because I didn't really feel it or hear it, I just sensed it, some
how.
- The next memory I can clearly recall, is of awakening,
and as is my usual habit, because I am a smoker, I cleared my throat. I
felt as though I had a cotton ball in my mouth. I remember thinking "This
is strange" and remembered the experience of the night before. When
I swallowed, I expected it to get stuck in my throat and that I was gonna
go into my bathroom, spit it out, and see what it was, but it went down
real easy, except that I felt a small lump.
-
- By the time, the whole experience should have concerned
me more, but this didn't. I just kind of grinned it off and got up.
-
- I guess I kind of forgot it, and went on with my life
without anything unusual happening except that I suddenly just stopped
drinking. In my position as leader of the group, I had argued with myself
that I needed to stop, as it was kind of hard to talk the homeless guys
into stopping, when I drank. I was telling myself that it wasn't a problem
for me, but it was beginning to and I had already prepared for a really
hard battle with it. It never happened. There was no battle, no stopping
and then starting back, or wanting to drink but not doing it, I just stopped
! I haven't wanted a drink since, and that, is strange.
-
- The only other thing, that I have noticed, thus far,
is a very small lump that grows on the upper/inner part of my ear. It itches
and I scratch it, and several times I have looked at it, and there is a
tiny piece of something that looks like a grain of salt or sand. I usually
just brush it off, but this time I am going to get someone to look
at it under a microscope.
- I believe there are visitors or some unusual form of
life that is playing with us, or maybe examining us, and I have seen things
that I can't personally explain. But I have adopted the attitude of, I'm
going to wait and see what's up, rather than form an opinion.
-
- I hope this helps you in your search and I am willing
to do whatever you need me to do, to find out what it is at the bottom
of all this.
- Sincerely, Jackie.
-
- My many thanks to Jackie for her story.

- West of Manchester, New Hampshire Oval Shaped Tipped
Vertical
-
- Date: Mid October 1977
- Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Oval shaped tipped vertical.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I am a musician and
was going home to Nashua from a job playing at the Deerfield Fair with
one of my band mates and another friend. It was pretty cold that night
and the air was clear. As we were driving west on Rte. 101 I noticed a
large object in the sky moving slowly from north to south. I pointed it
out to my companions and we pulled over and got out of the car to get a
better look.
-
- When we stopped the object stopped moving. It appeared
to be at least a mile or two away and was very large, about the size of
a silver dollar held at arm's length. It was at about 10 o'clock from the
horizon. It was an elongated oval shape and perpendicular to the ground.
I seemed to have a bump on one side. The object was glowing purple and
the raised area was glowing red. There were two rows of orange or yellow
lights on the oval part that were flashing in opposite directions around
the oval. The overall shape reminded me of one of those children's tops
with the lever that you push up and down to make it spin except slightly
flatter and on its side.
-
- We watched the object for about 10-15 minutes as it hung
there in the sky. While we were stopped, someone in a pickup truck stopped
and asked if we needed help. We explained what we were doing. He had a
CB radio in his truck and I could hear other people on the CB chattering
about the object. He looked with us for a minute or two and left. We finally
decided to go ourselves as the object was just hanging there. When we started
moving the object continued moving slowly south and eventually passed from
view. It moved a little slower than an airplane and seemed to move at a
steady speed.
-
- When we got back to Nashua my band mate's girlfriend
was waiting up for us. She was nearly hysterical. She had been out at a
dance class and on her way home had apparently encountered the same object
except that it was directly overhead and low to the ground. She said that
it covered the whole sky.
-
- Surprisingly or perhaps not, there was nothing about
this in any of the local papers even though there were many, perhaps hundreds
of witnesses.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Milburn Mountain Quesnel, B.C. Red Lights Circling The
Mountain
-
- Date: 2001
- Time: 9:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 2
- Shape of objects: Red dots.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: We have also seen
red lights circling Milburn Mountain west of Quesnel. Way past light
conditions where it could have been a helicopter. And we are close
enough to hear it if it was. It was dark, and I know the pilots.
- We were quite shocked. Puts one's notions and thoughts
on some things to question. We have told a few friends when we look
at the mountain, mostly get laughs and humor.
- It remains not a joke or a lie. Not answered in
my mind what that was on that night.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Satsuma, Alabama Strange Object Caught On Video ( Excellent
Footage)
-
- Posted: January 25, 2007
-
- Date: December 12, 2006
- Time: 10:30 a.m.
-
- Brian, I hope everything is well with you. Its nice to
see the site back up again. Now for the report. The weather was clear and
there was not a sound to be heard from the object.
-
- Back on December 2, 2006 I was out in the back yard with
the dogs. They were playing so I decided to carry my video camera
and catch some video of them. I walked back to the NE corner of the
yard where I stood under a overhanging oak limb which blocked the morning
sun from my eyes. It was around 10:30am and the sun was not quite due south
of my position. Upon blocking the sun by the oak tree an object became
apparent in the sky. It was about 15 degrees east of the sun and 45 degrees
up. I quickly grabbed my camera and took the video which I am attaching
to this report.
-
- It was a clear day and no sound was heard. The sight
lasted about 1 1/2 minutes. At that point I lost visual of the object.
I'm just glad I had my camera with me.
-
- The video file is attached.Here are some frames from
the video.

-
- Lynden, Washington A Flash Contained Different Colors
-
- Posted: January 21, 2007
-
- Date: Approx: 1995 - 1996
- Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.
-
- Dear Brian, After reading some of the reports on your
website, I wanted to explain an experience I witnessed just south of the
Vancouver, BC in Lynden, Washington. This occurred years ago and I
wanted to know if anyone else had witnessed the same incident.
-
- The sighting occurred about 10-8 years ago while I was
on my way home from an after school event. I was heading West away from
the town around 9:00pm at night on a main county road, with no other cars
in sight. The sky was clear, expected for some large clouds in the North.
I came up on 4-way stop at the same time as a truck, who was located to
my left at the intersection. As I came to a stop out of the corner of my
eye I noticed a strange light in the northern sky, lighting up the clouds
in that area (located to my right). It seemed to appear over the east
area of Greater Vancouver just over the US/Canadian border.
-
- At first I thought the flash was lightening from a thunder
storm, but the flash contained different colors (red, blue, green, yellow)
and lasted longer then a lightening flash. The flashing looked like a battle
reflecting in the sky. It lasted about 10-15 seconds. I sat there stunned,
looking at the sky in disbelief. I looked over the truck to my left, and
the driver had not moved, still sitting at the stop sign. I assumed that
they too had witnessed what I had just saw. At the time, I was in such
shock that I didn't know what to do, expect continue driving through the
intersection down the road. The flash was so large and strange that at
the time I was certain I would see it on the news or paper the next day.
But, I never heard about the event again, and began to doubt what I saw,
wondering why no one else had seen or spoke of it.
-
- To this day, I still don't know what I say, but thoroughly
regret not asking the truck driver if he/she to had also seen the lights.
I would like to know if anyone else in Whatcom County, WA or in the Greater
Vancouver area also witnessed this flashing event or any event similar
to it. Sincerely.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Anson, Maine A Silver Oval Shaped Craft
-
- Date: March 2006
- Time: Early afternoon
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: I telephoned the gentleman over
his sighting on January 21, 2007 and had a wonderful conversation with
the man. He also told me he has had some missing time experiences and his
story was really amazing to say the least. The fellow is going to write
up the details and pass them along to me. He also stated that there has
been a rich history of sightings taking place in his area, so I would like
to ask anyone who resides in Anson, Maine who has had a UFO experience
of some type to please contact Brian Vike here at HBCC UFO Research. The
witness and I are trying to put something together for this area.
-
- Location of Sighting: Over a small pond at the intersection
of RT. 234 and the horseback road.
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: oval
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I live in a
rural area of Maine about 6 miles from the nearest town. My former
fiancé Olivia, who was driving, her mother Helen, and I were headed
to the town of Anson, as we took a right turn onto the horseback road,
Helen, who rarely curses, said loudly, "What the hell is that!" She
was sitting in the rear drivers side seat. I was in the passenger seat.
Olivia stopped the vehicle (1999 Chevy S 10 Blazer), and I looked out the
drivers window.
-
- Sitting perfectly still in the sky was a huge, about
300 feet long, silver oval shaped something!, it looked to be less than
1000 feet away and was about 50 feet thick. The top of this thing had a
reddish glow, and the whole thing had markings or corrugations on it, it
reminded me of the old Jiffypop popcorn dome. This thing made no noise
and did not move while we were watching. There were no control surfaces
or any kind of cabin or gondola visible, and I could see the entire length
of it no ropes or wires either. The vehicle remained running and no electrical
disturbance was noticed.
-
- After about 3 minutes Oliva took her foot off the brake
and the vehicle started rolling,a small stand of evergreens blocked our
view for about 10 seconds and when we could see the sky again the thing
was gone. this road has some very clear views of the sky along it's length
and we kept looking for it but it was not seen again. It was strange enough
an occurrence that you'd think we would have been all abuzz about it, but
hardly a word was said for several hours. The next day, I drove past
the little pond and noticed a round hole in the ice, approximately where
the thing was hovering. I also noticed a rash on the side of my body that
burned and itched for several days, it also hurt, like I had been kicked.
-
- I have talked to people in the area about this sighting
and one friend said that he and his sister saw something just like it at
the same location 3 years before. Others have seen different things also.
I have also had multiple sightings at different times as well as 2 incidents
with missing time, I will post these later.
-
- Feel free to contact me anytime about this or anything
else. Olivia and her mom don't live with me anymore but they will corroborate
the story. Thanks.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- João Pessoa, Tambau Brazil A Triangular Shaped
Object
-
- Date: January 18, 2007
- Time: 11:50 p.m. (+3 GMT)
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Triangular
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: After having a long
nap from 7:00 until 10:30 p.m. I got up and stayed awake, while my husband
and daughter went to bed. I was searching the Internet for maps to locate
McNaught comet (C/2006 P1) in my place (Latitude: 7° 06', South. Longitude:
34° 53', West), Joao Pessoa, Brazil. I was upset because I realized
it wouldn't be easy to see the comet from here.
-
- I went to bed thinking about the comet and stayed observing
the nice spot of clear sky I have trough my large bedroom's window ( 6th
floor) which is always kept open during the warm summer weather. I have
a nice view from here since there are no buildings around and we are only
100 m from the beach - in fact, from my window, I am facing the sea and "Ponta
do Seixas" - the eastern most point of the Americas.
-
- There were no clouds, neither the moon and I was observing
the sky and the constellations (The Southern Cross, The Great Dog, Orion...)
when I suddenly spotted what, at a first sight, looked like a tiny cloud
blown by the wind - I felt strange because it was moving quite fast. When
I observed it properly, I have noticed its triangular shape without a clear
contour made up of some faint points of white light ( I could not count
how many points - may be six or seven...). The delta shaped "thing"
was traveling soundless from southeast to northwest in a peculiar way with
its wider angle pointing sideway (even a delta shaped airplane would not
fly with one of the wings heading!). I then realized that could be a formation
of orbs.
-
- It was difficult to guess the altitude but it could be
compared to a commercial plane flying at 3000 m. It soon went of my visual
field (passing over my roof) - I run to the next room, facing north and
in a second I could spot the triangular shape again. I observed it until
it faded into the light sky of the city (away from the sea)
-
- I doubt a person who was not intentionally watching the
night sky would ever have noticed that "thing" - I had the impression
it was traveling camouflaged... I must add to this report that I have an
engineering background and a considerable experience in observing the sky
(I was an amateurs junior astronomer while at the university).
-
- Additional Information Below:
-
- Hello Brian, Since then I have made a lot of suppositions
and calculus:
- I have taken a time average of many repetitions of my
movements again and I found time of observation=20 seconds.
- Altitude (h): I had to guess - my first impression is
h > 3000 m = 3 km - reason: I am used to observe things closer than
3 km by just looking out from my window, boats, people at the beach, cars,
planes - at smaller
- distances I see more details even at night.
- Length (L): since the thing's longer side comprised approximately
a 2º angle (2 full moon size), which equals 0.255 rd and then, L =
3000 x 0.255 = 76.5 m
- Also, by estimating angles I could also calculate the
speed (s) of the "thing":
- 1. Supposing h = 3 km then v = 954 km/h !
- 2. Supposing h = 6 km then v = 1908 km/h !!! ( In this
case the length would be L = 6000 x 0.524 = 153 m !
- 3. I don't want to suppose any higher!
-
- Yes, points of light - in fact they looked like faint
stars (as I can see The Pleiades with naked eye) - I was not able to count
them but they were around 5 to 8 points of light spread over the triangular
area.
-
- At that time my street and the region around is always
completely silent - just the sea at a distance, no restaurants are open
and everybody at home (2 more people) were asleep. I would have heard the
sound of a plane or anything like if closer...
- Clear glass windows measuring 1.50 x 1.20 (half of them
open), no wind blowing (it is terrible warm by this time of the year) -
6th floor without any other apartment building around (only houses). Good
visibility!
-
- There are only 4 commercial flights per day arriving
at Joao Pessoa since the main airports in the region are in neighbor cities
(Recife and Natal) and even though, the airport is 30 km to the west away
from here. I don't think this direction (Southeast to Northwest) is a flight
corridor - I see some planes from South to North (over the sea) and the
ones arriving here, I see at a distance East to West. I will observe more
carefully from now on!
-
- As I have estimated, the "thing" was really
faster then a plane at cruise altitude.
- The additional impression I can tell is that at first
I thought it was a tiny cloud... when I realized it was to fast and had
points of light I was really frightened because I found strange, what appeared
to me like a "flying blade". I have even said to me - "Oh
my God, what is that? I just calm down when I thought it could be transparent,
or, less frightening, a formation of smaller points of light.
- I have made a simple drawn of what it looked like. Thank
you.
-

- Thank you to the witness for the excellent report
and great diagram.

- Eugene, Oregon A Cylindrical To Round Object
-
- Date: January 22, 2007
- Time: 5:15 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 3
- Shape of objects: Cylindrical to round.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I was running due
South-West along a path off 11th Street in Eugene, Oregon when I spotted
an unusual structure about 1,500 to 2,00 feet or so in the sky moving slowly
in a generally southern direction. It was black, round, approximately
the size of a large airliner, but shaped differently. Another object appeared
to dangle from the back of it that looked almost like another circular
UFO, but much smaller. Several times it appeared to catch up with the larger
object and meld into it, then re-emerge. At that height and apparent distance
it might, of course, have been circling the larger object. I also saw
what appeared to be another object leave the first and fly southwest ahead
of the object.'
-
- I stayed to watch the slowly moving object (that at times
appeared to accelerate and hover for about ten minutes), then continued
my run back home. When I left it was still moving south-west but somewhat
faster. I am sure it was not a conventional aircraft, a helicopter,
a bird or balloon, but was some kind of self-propelled round, cylindrical-shaped
device. What the main larger object was or the smaller ones, I cannot
to specifically identify. One more point, I have excellent near-sighted
vision and don't wear glasses for driving.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- New Hope, Pennsylvania UFO Sighting
-
- Date: January 23, 2007
- Approx: 10:00 p.m.
-
- I was a skeptic until last night, January 23, 2007. I
was outside walking my dog at about 10:00 p.m. and happened to look up
to the sky and I saw what looked like a thick "tube" of bright
yellow/white light in the sky above me. At first I thought maybe it
was a low flying jet, but the light was more like a wide tube filled with
light than jet headlights - and it was heading south west overhead away
from me not towards me. It was moving too fast and too low in the sky
to be a jet (I frequently see commercial jets from Philadelphia and NY-
NJ airports flying very high above where I live).
-
- There was absolutely no sound from the object - no night
sounds at the time either - total silence for the moment that I saw the
object. It basically streaked across a small portion of the open sky above
me and then literally disappeared in the open and completely visible sky.
There were absolutely no clouds overhead - it flew over rather fast, the
evaporated into nothing.
-
- I never see military helicopters near my home, but this
morning one flew right over my house - coincidence?
-
- I am wondering if there were other sightings yesterday
or in the last few days. Honestly, this has freaked me out because
I know what I saw and I am sure of what I saw. And, I am sure that
what I saw was not some commercial jet or helicopter.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Ocala, Florida Triangular Shaped Object
- Date: January 23, 2007
- Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Triangle like.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I was at swim practice
when I noticed a flying object in the sky. But thinking it was a plane,
I ignored it. Later that evening I saw it again, but this time I took the
time to look and I couldn't really see it clearly. Then I saw it fly away.
Again that night I saw it again but it was closer and I noticed it had
flashing lights all around it. Then again it flew away and I never saw
it that night.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

-
- The Night Of The Visitors
-
- I would like to share my story with you.
-
- The Beginning: It's hard to really say when my story
really began. There are dreams in my past that I feel may or may not be
related. I will not bore you with those details.
- There are two things I must relate to you before I tell
you about the night of the Visitors. All of these things transpired within
a six month period.
-
- The Nightmare: Like most dreams, the nightmare was kind
of stupid. The only reason I am reporting it is because it is most likely
related because of the Buzzing sound I heard during the nightmare.
