Canadian UFO Information
Located In Houston, British Columbia, Canada
Date: March 21, 2002
Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.
Object: Bright white with orange glow around it.
The witness reported that when he and a friend were looking at new trucks at Sullivan Pontiac dealership in Houston, B.C., which is along the business frontage road just off Highway #16, a very bright white object caught their eye. The object would have been in the field behind the car dealership which would be facing southwest at some distance away from them both. Actually he said the object was hovering above an old barn which is in the field.
When I was talking on the telephone to the witness, he said that in all of the pictures the object looked like a bright white "star". But in one of the photos he said, if you look really close you can barely see an orange glow around the white object. He also said that seeing the object in person was totally different from how the object looks in the pictures.
He mentioned also that it was so far away when he took the picture that it looks like a star in the photo. He added that you could tell it was something really bright because there are also lights from the town in the picture as well. The object when looking at it with the naked eye was as bright, or brighter than the lights around him, meaning town lights.
The guys pulled out their camera using the "flash", and as soon as they started taking the pictures the object rose up from it's stationary position and moved slowly towards the two witnesses. At this point they were freaking out and threw the camera down on the front seat, jumped in the vehicle and took off very quickly. They had turned their heads around to see if the object was still coming in their direction but they told me it had disappeared. The object didn't disappear as if it dropped slowly behind a mountain, but rather just vanished as if you turned off the lights in your home.
Investigators Note: The two fellows dropped into my home to show me the pictures and give me the rest of the story. As mentioned by the witness above, the object was in the distance, but after I looked over the area today where this took place it really wasn't as far as the pictures make it out to be. There is a barn standing out in the field where the object was hovering. From the photos and from what I saw when checking the area out, the object would have been still some distance above the barn. I am going back tomorrow to take some pictures myself, and to look around the area a little more just in case there may be something I might have missed. Also one of the witnesses said he did have a hard time sleeping that night after watching this object, knowing it was something he was not familiar with.
From some of the reports I have received since February 1, 2002 there seems to be a pattern of very frightened people. As a matter of fact I talked to one of the ladies from the February 1, 2002 sighting of the large boomerang shaped craft which went right over the top of the car when they were traveling back from Smithers heading home to Houston, B.C. and she still gets goose bumps just talking about it, and is still very nervous over the whole experience.
Also an important note about the pictures. The fellows took the three pictures using the flash on the camera. Due to this event taking place at night the flash does wash out the image in which the person is trying to capture on film. Also it can be detrimental if the flash exposes things close to the camera
and between the camera and the object. Corners of buildings, or tree trunks, light poles etc. will reflect back "flash" light that washes out the target image.
Like many of us, these fellows did their best in trying to catch the object on film, not thinking of what the flash may have done to the outcome of the pictures. To be honest, in a case such as this, with the excitement of seeing something you can not explain I may have done exactly the same thing.
I would like to extend my many thanks to both the witness who reported their sighting to me here at HBCC UFO.
Pictures Below
I know the object is very hard to see on the film, but it does give an idea of what these fellow had seen.
Date: Between March 18 & the 24th, 2002 (approx)
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Hello Brian
I'm finally getting back to you, the UFO I saw was in the direction towards Morice Mountain. (Investigators note: Morice Mountain is south of Houston and directly behind the town and runs above timberline). I saw the object around 11:30 p.m. I think the date was between the March 18 and the 24th. It was a bright white light with an orange glow around it and was hovering just below the mountain line. I watched it for about 2 minutes before it disappeared.
Thank you to this witness for possibly confirming another sighting of the same object.
Investigators note: Because of the color in which was reported to me, I checked another report I received from around the same date (March 21, 2002) in which two witnesses watched a very bright white object hovering around the same area with an orange glow or haze to it. The object the witness reported to me above, it sounds like this object may have been further back towards the mountain. The two witnesses who reported the March 21, 2002 sighting, had the object hovering just over a barn in a field almost directly behind the car dealer ship. (pictures were taken of this object the fellows saw, but quickly threw their camera into their truck, jumped in and headed off quickly, due to the object approaching them.
Houston, British Columbia
Date: Approx: Week of April 21, 2002
Time: 11:00 p.m.
After talking briefly to this witness, she reported watching a object about three or four weeks ago at approx: 11:00 p.m. which puts this sighting in the week of April 21, 2002. It was north west of the train bridge over the Bulkley River heading towards Smithers. It hovered just above the tree line for about a minute. It was a very bright white light and again an orange haze or glow was reported. She reported hearing no sound due to being indoors.
Thank you to the witness for her report.
Investigators note: Again we see the same colored object hovering around the town of Houston. The train bridge in which she reported is directly southwest of town and does cross the Bulkley River.
This would be the third sighting of this white object surrounded by a orange haze/glow here in Houston.

The witness was outside and noticed and object moving rapidly below the clouds. The witness ran inside and returned with a second person. They both observed a black box-like object with grey ends moving around low in the sky. The object stopped instantly, briefly rose, then descended again and moved very rapidly to the east until it could not be seen over the rooftops of intervening houses.

Delta or 'V' shaped object, moving silently, unlit aside from surrounding light sources moving south to north
Looking at Jupiter with my son, we both notice something very faint pass in front of our view. What little was visible of it resembled a delta, or 'V' shaped object. Very little detail could be made of it, some very very dimly visible leading edges giving the impression of the delta shape. my son thought it was a plane, but there were 'zero' lights present on the object. I personally thought it might be a hang glider, but it is two hours past sundown and cooling dramatically outside. Besides...it seemed awfully high. it followed a south to north path pretty well perfectly. no sound was present at all, and flew at an estimated/guesstimated 10,000 feet. Don't quote me on that altitude as size was an issue to determine. I thought it could have been the ISS, but checking the position of the station found it to be only 'approaching' the western coasts of S.America and following the wrong course for what we saw. If it was a plane it was running silent and dark. If it was a hang glider it should have been dropping fairly quickly in suburban areas. Either way it was unlit, V shaped, and very quiet. A stealth fighter flying without lights or sound??

Approximately 8:58 am this morning (Thursday, May 16 2002) I was having breakfast at a cafe down by the beach and I looked up and saw a white light very high in the sky. it was a clear day not a cloud in sight. the object moved slowly at first. it moved in an elliptical pattern.. It seemed to slow down at one point and then stop for three or four seconds. then it sped up again and continued along its circular path going back the way it came. it disappeared behind a building and I never saw it again. the entire event may have taken up to two minutes.
There was only one object. It didn't appear shiny. just white.. and very very high in the sky.

On Monday, August 5, 2002, at 10:12 p.m., Tatiana, age 12, sighted a UFO in her hometown of New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, on the Fraser River just east of Vancouver. She reported, "Before I saw the UFO, I saw a big bright light in the sky. I did not know what it was. Then the big bright light disappeared. Then I saw an oval object. It was going north, and then it went west. It was higher than an airplane, but it went lower and lower, and then it went high-high-high. I had it in
view for six to ten minutes. That's all I remember." (Email Form Reports)

Three faint points of light resembling stars and forming a triangle drifting across the night sky as I watched a meteor shower in progress. No noise, no sudden movements. Maybe a satellite? If it was a satellite all the way in orbit, each point would be very far apart from each other id imagine.
((NUFORC Note: Possibly a sighting of what are thought to be three satellites launched by the U. S. Navy under the N.O.S.S. program. We have received many reports of them. PD))

We were lying in a tent watching the stars at night, and then one of my family members came out and started talking. Before they went back inside me and my friend both turned quickly to look at this bright streak of light that had gone past, and when we looked at it, it was gone. My family member didn't gat a chance to see it because it went by so fast. Then again we talked to the family member for a short while, and as they left we saw another one, It was a very large white streak. Later that night we saw more. They were as wide as 1/4 of the moon and went 1/5 of the way across the sky and disappeared quickly.

Saturday Aug 24/02 at 11:59 PM in Vancouver. My wife received a phone call at 11:45 from my brother. She then told me that the meteor I was waiting for can be seen in the sky. I told her it was last Saturday. I then saw the object she was talking about west. I told her it was an airplane characteristic of the blue and red flashing lights. She then told me my brother also saw it 18 KM away. I said that was impossible. I decided this requires more research. I hauled out my telescope. Spotted the object at 50 power and noticed it was no airplane. Went to 200 power. I then had a clear picture. It was close to the characteristic flying saucer shape. It glowed very intensely. Had a weird rotating sensor beam on the top part of the saucer. It flashed aqua color first and then orange-red second. Much like a rotating spot beam at a 0.5 second rotation. Obviously one beam that could scan orange-red and then aqua. I then took relative size calculations. Today I took bearing calculations at my place and my at my brothers to figure out the distance to the object. I also took an object that looked the same size in the telescope at a distance that i measured to figure out the size. I went over to my brothers who pointed to where he saw it. I used my GPS to get the bearing at his place. Using math I calculated the object was 30 meter diameter at a distance of 200 KM. That puts it over Vancouver Island. The object also moved much like a star in the sky. This indicates that it could not be an object in close orbit. The object must of been under power. My brother watched it for over an hour and me for 45 minutes before it went behind some trees. I can say this was not weather balloon or object burning up in the atmosphere. I cant say this was a Alien space ship, but if it was not, the Earth has developed a new type of ship that is quite impressive.

We woke up in at 2:30 am about there and heard this noise and lights orange and white. It was heading North and was hovering about 100m above us. After 10 seconds it disappeared but such amazing speed that we didn't barley see it. It made a weird noise that sounded like thunder but it wasn't too loud. We were and in total shock at the moment that we didn't take a picture. My friend was paralyzed for about 2 minutes and was shaken all over and couldn't speak. It was the weirdest and scarcest thing we ever saw. Every night i wake up at the same time and look out the window for maybe the extra terrestrials might come back and say hi.

Victoria, British Columbia
Date: November 1, 2002
Time: 3:35 p.m.
I live in Victoria BC, and today at approx 1535 hours I was outside where I heard a brrrrring of a small plane and turned my eyes to see it travelling in a North to South direction at around 4000 to 5000 feet (normal altitude, whatever that is). It was a small Cessna type aircraft with bright yellow sides and a red tail section. Today was a brilliantly clear day so the colors of the plane were plainly visible. Suddenly my eyes caught a glimpse of another aircraft flying in the same direction except, to the west of the other, and much closer to me. This second object was a much larger craft than the Cessna; in fact the nose of it extended much farther forward of the small swept-back wings than the Cessna. It resembled a DC9 in basic shape but the wings were very short. This craft was pure white and did not appear to have windows or markings of any kind on the body of the craft. It may have been the time of day but it's wings were kind of indistinct and shadowy. But the whole strange part of this is that the farther away Cessna was travelling at a much higher rate of speed than this object. This object continued very slowly on it's Southerly course until it was out of sight. I have never seen such a large aircraft fly so slowly. In fact it seemed impossible for a fixed wing aircraft to do that at all. There were no contrails or noise from this object.
Thank you to the witness for their report

VICTORIA, BC -- Bright white light with black outline around it moving soundlessly and slowly from the north banking east and disappearing upward on October 10, 2002, at 2:38 AM. Using binoculars I could see a dark shape visible around white light that disappeared into the sky rather than flew away. It was not a satellite, meteor or shooting star. Those don't change direction and there were no flashing lights like a plane and it flew directly overhead.

My dad and I were outside at night to look for M13. My dad was setting up his telescope and I was looking to the northern sky and saw a triangle as wide as the scooped part of the big dipper. All I saw was ten lights on the front of it which looked like stars. It didn't make any noise then it went off to the west and faded.

Report by Graham Conway - UFO*BC
On the 22nd September, 2002 at 3.l3 pm Scott was walking down Howe Street when at the junction of Robson he saw two men watching something in the sky. One of the men was a security guard at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Upon asking he was directed to a small object in the clear blue sky. To determine if it was moving he lay on the grass outside the gallery and lined the silver colored object up against a telephone pole. It was moving south. He continued to watch it until it moved behind a building and out of view. Standing up to search the sky he heard someone call him from across the street asking if he wanted to see a UFO. He then joined a group of five men and two women. After a period of observation the group left him in a car.
At 4:45 he called me to make me aware of this situation. Scott then decided he needed a greater expanse of sky to continue viewing so headed for the harbour area and specifically Canada Place. After fifteen minutes he arrived and found the object was still high over the city, moving back and forth quite rapidly and "changing places". Stopping an American couple (tourists) he then asked them to view the object through the telephoto lens of their camera. After doing this the male stated it was a balloon and they departed.
At 5:l5 pm Scott again phoned me to say that he was still observing the craft. He now approached a Russian couple who had a telephoto lens on their camera. At this point the object had turned from an orange to a bright red. Its original elliptical(?) shape was now visible as a disc. When he had spoken to the men outside the Art Gallery they had described it as a "star". However he doesn’t know whether they meant it looked like a star or was star shaped.
After Scott's second phone call I took my binoculars out to a vantage point (in Delta) and looked towards the Vancouver but haze and the great distance, plus pollution, made my search fruitless. By 6:05 pm the witness said that the object was "pulsing"(?) or maybe just rotating which created the pulsing impression as the sun glinted off it. By now a contrail was being created across the city sky from north to south and ended abruptly over the city. The object was lost behind this trail and Scott left for home.
This sighting has a total of 14 witnesses to our knowledge. On three separate occasions the object emitted three short vapour trails that dispersed very rapidly. One such trail even evaporated in a REVERSE direction!

Space debris momentarily light up in sky over Victoria B.C.
Four to five white lights that appeared as a break up of some sort went north over Victoria, British Columbia at 12:19 Friday morning. They were so close that at first I thought they were a low flying jet going over the top of the hotel, but immediately realized that the lights were irregular, all bright white and some left a faint streaking in the sky. They went over the top of the hotel, 90 degrees, and blinked out at about 60 degrees northerly. I feel certain that the cluster was a break up of some space vehicle (satellite, rocket etc), it was reminiscent of the debris that came over Seattle some years ago that created quite a stir. However, there's a chance that it could have been meteoroids, but I've spent many hours observing meteor showers with some real close ones(one even exploded over my head and made an explosive sound and left a cloud that sat in the air where it exploded for over 10 minutes), and this was bigger than any of those spectacular meteors, and the fact that it was all in a cluster moving at the same speed and in the same direction, suggests to me some sort of space debris re-entering earth's atmosphere.

I was out for a brief bit of stargazing during a meditation retreat, and while admiring the familiarity of the big dipper I happened to notice a strange object. Initially I was attracted by a series of reddish flashing/shimmering lights, arranged in 3 groups - forming the corners of a large triangle. The lights moved from the corners down the edges of the object, then reaccumulated back at the corners. I watched this object for appx. 2 minutes, and as I watched, it passed in front of several stars, verifying it's solidity between the 3 corners of lights. It moved quite slowly and consistently from East to West, about 30 degrees above the Northern Horizon. Before passing behind a stand of trees, 2 large spotlights appeared on the rear end of the object. The spots moved in large, circular motions before disappearing. I lost sight of the object after it went behind the stand of trees. It made no sound that I could hear. With no reference besides the trees and stars, I'm hesitant to hazard a guess at the size of the object, but my intial feeling is that it was quite large - perhaps 100 on each edge.

Hot Springs Cove, BC
Date: November 30, 2002
Time: 8:50 p.m.
At about 2050 hours on the saturday night in hot springs cove, situated about 25 miles north of Tofino, british columbia, i observed very low on the horizon to the east and lower right of the dipper a very bright light which over the next two hours performed a great number of movements. Typical movements included circular loops and some very rapid vertical motions followed by rapid change of direction to horizontal and then followed by a loop terminating in about the original position. one characteristic was the instantateous change of direction of flight. another feature was the very brightness of the object: it was brighter than any nearby star and it did not flicker at all.
I determined the motion of this object by referencing two stationary objects and sighting along to see what the motion was. the most rapid motion was vertcally downwards which happened perhaps four or five times during the two hours of observation. it was a very crisp clear night though a bit of fog developed later.
other than the rotation of the earth displaying ever unfolding vista through the night, the only other bright object with motion was an aircraft flying basically north to south.

Nanaimo, British Columbia
Date: December 21, 2002
Time: early afternoon
Another strange thing I saw happened last year in Nanaimo. I was visiting a friend and we were in her backyard in the early afternoon and right above our heads was a large oblong shaped craft. You couldn't look at it directly for long because the sun was so bright and reflecting off it so it was hard on the eyes, you had to turn away from the brightness but I did make out the shape and the color was sliver. I told my friend but she was trying to control her kids and just glanced up briefly because of the sun and couldn't make out anything. When I tried to look again I couldn't see it. I thought maybe it was the good year blimp? I don't know.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
