British Columbia UFO Flap Continues



vancouversun - Reports have been flying in of an unidentified flying object hovering over Cultus Lake in Chilliwack, B.C. on Tuesday night.

The story broke on The Fox's Jeff O'Neil Show Wednesday morning during their Open Phones segment.

'Dallas' called into the show to report that his girlfriend spotted some eerie lights flooding the pitch-black sky [insert Twilight Zone music here].

"At around 2 a.m., she saw some crazy-ass lights hovering over the lake," Captain Scotty of the Jeff O'Neil Show recalled to The Sun.

Then, the radio show received a text from 'Wally' in Chilliwack, saying he also saw the lights Tuesday night.

Since posting this article to the Sun's website, further reports have been coming in about sightings.

Alick e-mailed us to say he snapped photos of the "really bright object."

"I thought I noticed something odd with a really bright object in the eastern south sky towards Chilliwack," said Alick. "I thought at first it was a star or satellite but it was way too big and way too bright and it moved too fast and steady to be a helicopter spotlight."

bclocalnews - While many eyes were turned towards the heavens last week to watch the annual Perseid meteor shower, at least two sets of those eyes in Qualicum Beach saw more than they bargained for.

Brian Vike, a Houston, B.C. resident who heads up Sightings.com, a UFO network, said he received a report of something even more unusual than meteors on Aug. 14.

The time was 10 p.m. as the two residents, whose names Vike would not release, said they were watching the meteor shower when they saw two strange lights in the eastern sky.

“They caught my eye, due to their obvious colour, which differed from the stars around them,” the report said. “They were flickering and shifting from red to blue and then to white. They were about as far apart as a loonie coin held at arm’s length and were pinpoints of light.”

The report went on to say the lights were moving in an odd manner.

“I was surprised to note that the two points of light then began to rotate and switched positions gradually, with the 4 o’clock light moving to the 10 o’clock position and vice versa,” the report said. “Then they began to move directly apart from the 10 and 4 o’clock positions, but very slowly. The top light began to gradually fade and the bottom light subsequently blinked right out and vanished suddenly.”

About 15 minutes later, the two lights re-appeared, creeping slowly across the sky towards the north star.

When the lights got to the little dipper, they appeared to stop moving.

“They remained motionless for about a minute and then the top light began to shimmer and shake, flashing blue, red, white colours very brightly,” the report said. “Three blue streams or rays of light briefly shone out of this top light and pointed towards the bottom light.”

After a few seconds, the bottom light increased in brightness very rapidly and “departed with shocking speed to the west.”

The other light, the report continued, simply ebbed away and vanished without any apparent motion.

Commenting on the report, Vike said the sighting will likely remain unexplained.

“The idea of what we do is to find explanations for what folks see, but there are many times we are as stumped as the witnesses, and this sighting over Qualicum Beach is a strange one,” he said. “It doesn’t sound like stars of any kind and what I find very interesting about this report is that the witness does seem to know what he is talking about from how he wrote his report .., he has a good knowledge of the night sky. However, as of now, this sighting definitely is going to go down as unexplained.”

This wasn’t the only sighting on Vancouver Island recently, Vike added.

On July 24 he received a report from Victoria of a huge, planet-like UFO.

“I saw what looked like a gas giant planet, looking east from Victoria,” the report said. “I had never seen an object so large, especially with a very bright moon.”

On July 22, Vike received a report of lights chasing one another over Cassidy, south of Nanaimo.

“There were three very, very bright lights,” the report said. “Two of them looked like they were chasing each other in circles and they did about eight loops, then immediately stopped.”

The speed, the writer said, appeared to be nothing that could be matched by a known aircraft.

“They all had odd patterns of flashing lights,” nothing I’ve ever seen on a known aircraft and there were very large amounts of light coming out of the forest where I was sure they disappeared into.”

On July 3, at Honeymoon Bay on Cowichan Lake, a report came in of a bright light approaching from the west as a group of friends sat around a campfire.

“When it was overhead we all noticed a smaller light trailing directly behind, which was too far back to be attached to any airplane that is known to man,” the report said. “The lights proceeded east and disappeared beyond the horizon.”

Finally, a thin, curved object was reported over Victoria on March 8.

“I was in the passenger seat of my friend’s car when driving in downtown Victoria,” the report said. I looked out over the inner harbour and in the sky was what I thought to be a flying V of geese at a weird angle. I kept looking and they weren’t moving. I saw pedestrians pointing at it. I saw it between buildings for a total of about two minutes.”

NOTE: UFO Digest has just posted an article referencing the possibility of a Sasquatch / UFO connection. The examination is being done by Vancouver's TrailriderResearch. Here is a previous video from the group also...Lon
