Vancouver, British Columbia UFOs Filmed ! (Coming Soon)
HBCC UFO Research Note: On a side note, I received a DVD in the postal mail today, I opened the parcel and played the DVD and boy was I surprised at what the witness captured on film. Video footage is excellent of numerous UFOs over Vancouver, British Columbia on different days. Some of what is on the film is pretty mind blowing to say the least as the objects/crafts are really strange. The witness is going to get everything done up soon so these clips and photos can be posted to the website. So do keep an eye open for this material to come, excellent UFO footage and photos ! I should point out that this is daylight footage.

92 Year Old Man Relates His Missing Time Experience On Vancouver Island, British Columbia
HBCC UFO Research Note: I would like to point out that the daughter of the 92 year old gentleman has had UFO sightings before, along with other members of her family.
Although this event took place and was told to us about 25 years ago, it is still very clear in the mind of my 92 year old father. I should mention that my father was a very down to earth, level headed, non drinking school teacher.
The missing time location was northern Vancouver Island. My father taught Industrial Arts at a school in Victoria. Dad would often leave right after school on a Friday afternoon and drive the several hundred miles north to Telegraph Cove on the east coast of the Island. Most of Telegraph Cove was owned by dad's cousin and dad would go for the weekend to help with building, wiring and repairs to the old buildings on the boardwalk. Just as he left the school he would phone my mother to say he was on the way and as soon as he got to Telegraph Cove he would call her to say he had safely arrived. It became a very familiar routine drive.
The drive took, within minutes, the exact same length of time every time. In fact dad chose several landmarks along the way and checked his watch to see if he was exactly on schedule. He always was.
One landmark was just at the turnoff to Woss Camp. It was an old water pipe sticking out of the cut bank on the right side of the road. When dad reached there he knew he had just over an hour left to drive.
On this particular day everything was as usual. When he reached the Woss Camp turnoff he checked the time. He was right on schedule. He continued driving but soon noticed that the road did not seem quite right. The road was still smooth and paved but a corner turned an unexpected direction or there was a slight hill that he did not remember. After he'd been driving a short while he saw a small lake on the left side of the road. It had a narrow rocky shoreline and at the far end was a raised parking area with a couple of picnic tables. He was surprised as he'd never seen that lake before.. He assumed that it must have been hidden by dense underbrush and that someone had worked very hard to clear the area. He thought that was a very nice thing to do as it was a pretty little spot. He continued to drive and began to wonder where the usual Friday night traffic was.
He'd not seen one car since the Woss Camp turnoff. Admittedly that is a very uninhabited part of the Island but there was usually some traffic. He also wondered why he had not yet reached the very large Nimpkish Lake. He'd been driving for quite a while and the road should be following the lakeshore for about half of this part of the drive.
Then he went around a corner and went numb with shock and confusion. There, in front of him, was the turnoff to Woss Camp with the water pipe sticking
out of the cut-bank on the right side of the road. He pulled off to the side and sat and stared for several minutes. He looked at his watch. He'd driven past this same place exactly one hour earlier! For the previous hour he'd been driving on a road he'd never seen before and somehow ended up back where he had started.. Eventually he felt OK to drive and continued on to Telegraph Cove. This time the road was exactly right. No strange curves, usual traffic and he soon reached Nimpkish Lake. Although he watched for it, he never saw the little lake with the picnic tables.
When he arrived at Telegraph Cove his cousin said he had, had been wondering why dad was so much later than usual. In his call to mom she said she'd been getting worried as he was over an hour late in calling. Dad asked several people in Telegraph Cove about the little lake with the picnic area. No one had any idea what he was talking about. On his way home on Sunday he looked, but never saw the lake.
All his subsequent trips were normal and on schedule.
A few years later dad and I went back to that area to look for the lake and any roads he could have accidentally driven on. There was only one paved road on that 100 mile long part of the Island. We peered through bushes and took every dirt road off the main road that we could find but never found a little lake with a pretty picnic area. There was nothing even remotely similar.
So dad has been left wondering, where was the empty Island road he drove on for an hour on a sunny Friday afternoon. It never appeared again and he has
Often laughed and said he must have had his own version of "Brigadoon".

Scranton, Pennsylvania A Landed Flying Saucer
Date: 1968 - 1969
Hi, I don't know why I have ever reported this before, probably because I am not in touch with the student involved nor do I have the pictures. This happened in a community college English course where I was trying (as we teachers do) to drum up some interest in anything to a group of listless students. So, I started talking about UFO's. I saw several boys in the back row poking one of their group and saying "tell her." So, I asked him and after some coaxing he told this amazing story: His hobby was photography and he had a number of cameras. On this occasion he and some buddies had gone to visit his sister at her college near Wilkes Barre, Pa. As they were fooling around in the nearby woods they came upon a landed flying saucer. As he had two cameras with him, one of which had a telephoto lens, he started taking pictures. Several of the other fellows started throwing rocks at it.. The rocks made a "ping" when they hit.
They then became frightened and ran off. When he came home he sent the pictures off to Eastman Kodak to be processed. These were color photos which he did not have the equipment to process. Eastman Kodak returned on two or three of the shots with a letter explaining that such photos were routinely confiscated and if he wished further info he should contact the Dept. of Defence. (His sister did so but got no response.) Anyway, I asked if I could see the pictures. He seemed reluctant but he brought them in. WOW. The pictures showed very clearly an oval shaped "craft: apparently of polished aluminium with a greenish haze around it. I have never to this day seen any pictures as clear cut or as close as this was. The student told me that the haze was actually blue to the sight but came out as green. He took the pictures home. When several other teachers expressed interest, I asked him if he could bring them in again. He was obviously so uncomfortable that I apologized and dropped the subject Unfortunately he dropped out of the class. I hope this incident was not the cause. I don't know whether this is of any interest or not. But I can assure you that when I see the currently available pictures of UFOs I have to laugh. This was the real thing. (Retired English Professor, Suffolk Community College, Seldon, L.I.) Currently living in N.Ft. Myers, Fl.
Additional Information
Hi and thanks for your interest. I would be happy to make a drawing but being an old lady (76) my knowledge of computer technology is elementary. I don't know how to send a picture. But the pictures were beautiful. The "craft" was a slightly elongated egg or oval shape. The metallic surface, like polished aluminium or steel, was quite lovely. And the greenish haze that surrounded it was breathtaking. I do not recall any markings or detail. It was apparently resting on the ground, or very close to it. Yes, I would be glad to talk to you about the sighting or any other info I might have.. I regret that I didn't report this at the time but in that time period there really weren't too many serious UFO students. If you are interested, my husband and I drove directly under one of the famous Hudson Valley craft that was written up by Hynek. My husband had a private pilot's license (and had been in the Naval Air Corps) and we can assure anyone that this was no extra-light plane

Gibsons, British Columbia A Silent Craft (UFO)
Date: Mid 1990's Time: Fall night.
Location: Gibsons, BC (Sunshine Coast)
I was walking home, watching the sky as I often do. The sky was dark blue or black with stars and the occasional puffy cloud, lit from below by the village street lights.
I saw what appeared to be a low-flying passenger airliner. I only saw the front of this. It was silvery and rounded at the front. From the front to the back, as far as I could see, were what appeared to be lit plane (squarish) windows (perhaps 6). I stopped to watch and then it occurred to me that a) if it was a plane flying that low I should be able to hear engines, but there was no noise and b) plane cockpits are not lit up as passenger windows are. Nor was there a cockpit bulge.
This "plane" i.e. just the part that I could see, went behind a cloud. I stood and waited for it to emerge on the other side. It was a small cloud. It did not come out the other side.
I heard locally that another woman had reported a UFO at a similar time.

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania A Fleet Of Boomerang Shaped Objects
Date: Around 2000 Time: Evening.
I live in the Pittsburgh PA, USA area, and approximately 7 years ago at dusk, I looked up from my side porch and saw a fleet of them (about 11) flying very high in a V formation. What was so strange about this sighting is that as the formation was moving, 2 of them were also flying perfect circles around 2 of the formation ones. I watched them for about 2 minutes and ran to the front porch to proceed viewing them, but they disappeared. In 1999/2000, my two friends saw the same strange sighting in the Pittsburgh area, even though they were about 15-20 miles away from each other. They saw, along with others present, a white ball type orb being chased by two fighter planes. They said that the org was actually doing circles and different manoeuvres in front of the jets. The next day, the one guy called the other and said that you won't believe what we saw last night, and the other guy confirmed seeing the same thing

Edmonton, Alberta Spherical Shaped Object And Smaller Object Moving Around It
Date: July 1 - 4, 2006 Time: 11:05 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Research Park south Edmonton common area.
Number of witnesses: 5 Number of objects: 1-4
Shape of objects: Spherical.
This is the only time I can say that I have actually seen UFOs and I have see a lot of strange stuff in the sky. It was at 11:05-11:25 pm between July 1-4. Me and 4 other friends were partaking in a recreational activity and had arrived at the location at 10:45pm. It was a perfectly clear night and I was stargazing and admiring the constellations. One of my friends pointed out an abnormally large star that was located beneath the 1st star on the arm of the big dipper. Now I know that the north star is north of the arm and was confused as to what this bright star was to the south of it. It was motionless like a star but as bright as a helicopter with it's spotlight shinning at least 1500 feet above the ground. It was not to say that this object was that low in the atmosphere. I could clearly tell that this object was outside our atmosphere at the height it was at. We stared at this for 5 minutes until it started to move slowly eastward. We all were very astonished by this because none of us have seen anything like this before.
I can tell you that I know of the height this object was at because it had an arc in its trajectory that denoted an orbit. We watched this object in the sky for a further 10 minutes in its trajectory before at least 3 very tiny almost satellite-looking objects appeared suddenly and started to move rapidly around the craft. They moved in circular and triangular flight patterns and sometimes flew away from it momentarily but returned to it seconds after at great speed. About 5 minutes or so later they all disappeared. At this point 2 of the witnesses lost interest and the 3 of us that were left watched it for a further 5 minutes or so until it literally shot into the stars until we could no longer see the light of the craft.

Ft. Wayne To Muncie Indiana Two Saucer Shaped UFOs
Date: August 2006 Time: Around 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.
I am 28, male, have worked as a mechanical engineer for sometime now, during this time, the sighting, I was doing a lot of work at the Indiana air national guard unit.
I Was dealing with F-16's software and around them on a daily basis, so military aircraft was something I was pretty aware of! Anyways, last August 06 I was driving on I-69 south from Ft. Wayne to Muncie Indiana with some friends. Pretty clear day, later afternoon around 5 or 6 I believe. Anyways, we were almost to our exit, which is Exit 41 on I-69. I noticed 2 solid objects in the air, saucer shaped, a blackish metallic in colour. My window was rolled up, so I rolled it down to get a better look, as I was in the back seat I wanted to see what it was that I was looking at.
Well, to my astonishment, they were 2 objects hovering a few thousand feet off the ground, almost interacting with one another in some way, swaying back and
forth and then still, after 20-30 seconds or so. I screamed at my friends in the front to take a look, but there were trees obstructing our view at this time, maybe for 3-4 seconds, then the cleared and nothing, not a thing over the field! My friends obviously thought I was kidding, but I have been around a lot of aircraft in my time, planes, jets, balloons, this was something odd that I have never in my life witnessed. So, that being said, I thought I would share my experience with you.

Ontario, Canada UFOs And The OPP Chasing An Object Down The Highway
Date: March 2007
This report came into me on March 31, 2007.
Not sure about this, but I think some neighbours here see what sounds like the Phoenix lights running down - over Highway 17. The fellow said it's happening like every night. I will get out tonight and check it out.
I'll see if I can get them to make reports. I even heard the OPP were chasing one down number 17. Seems like some are slow, some are going like, well faster than rockets. Funny thing too, people said they are bringing some weird stuff out of this new mine. The other day Thursday to be exact there was a train went by with over 100 tanks on it and a slew of those big guns. They were being towed behind trucks, as well we see trucks with cop car escorts taking huge pieces of boats and planes down the highway towards North Bay. I think something might be up. I just noticed the sightings around Brampton too. My friend said he saw those globes actually land way back in the trees here last fall. Now you have to remember its pretty remote here.

Edgemont, Alberta A Bright White Star-Like Light
Date: March 26, 2007 Time: 9.30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Calgary Edgemont NW
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright White Sparkling Light, Too Large For A Star.
I live in Edgemont in the NW part of Calgary. I do not recall the exact date of the sighting but it was at 9.30 pm as I checked my watch. I was looking out my kitchen window and noticed a very bright white star-like light twinkling in the sky towards the NW.
It was a dark and the light appeared to be approximately 1-2 km. away and appeared to be about 150-250 feet in the air. I recall thinking that if it was the hawk helicopter it was flying quite low. I would describe the size of the light as the head of a medium-large sized nail held at arms length.

Golden, British Columbia Small Light Circles Larger UFO
Date: March 29, 2007 Time: Approx: 6:40 a.m.
Following is the account of a sighting I had near Golden B.C. I am a mountain guide and was working at a ski lodge 40 km. north of the town.
On March 29, 2007 at approx 6:40 AM I went outside to check the sky for cloud cover and visibility. Jupiter was prominent in the sky and one other faint star - the sky otherwise lightly obscured. I also noticed a bright light which I initially thought was a star about 30 deg above the horizon in the west. I became puzzled because It could not have been Venus as it was too far from the sun. I looked and wondered what is was for a couple of minutes and then I thought it maybe was moving slowly. Then as I lined it up with thee side of the building I determined it was actually moving in an easterly direction.
As I watched it slowly accelerated and before it had gone more than about 10 degrees a small light of about 1/10th its brightness did a perfect circle around it and then disappeared. The radius of the small lights circle was about the width of 5x the wingspan of a high flying jet The light then accelerated to a higher speed and proceeded across the sky and disappeared in the eastern horizon. Just after the small light circled it I went indoors briefly and called out another guide to witness it. Its speed as it went from about 60 degrees west to overhead and then east was faster than a jet airliner.
I am a pilot with 1500 hrs of mountain flying and have seen other strange phenomena several times. Two mornings later I saw a similar light in the same location but it stayed at the same location until daybreak obscured it 20 min later. There were no further sightings of the light.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota One Triangle And The Other Cross Within A Box (UFO)
Date: April 8, 2007 Time: 8:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Highway 77 south.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: One triangle, the other cross within a box.
Me and a friend of mine were leaving to a friends house around 8:30pm and we were almost to Apple Valley and were on Highway 77.
I look up and I saw lights, but I didn't see these kind of lights on airplanes before because I know what plane lights look like. I live by a mini airport in Eden Prairie. The lights on this UFO (there 3 on the corners and it looked like a plane at first, but when we got closer it was some weird triangle) and one by one they turned on with multi coloured lights in the middle. And the first object was still staying in one spot and did not move at all! When watching this I thought that's very weird. Not a lot of planes just sit motionless and if so it would be a military fighter plane of some sort. It was pretty low to the ground too, right above the trees, maybe 4 or 5 a few hundred feet above the trees! We kept driving and I am still looking back and I see it still there. I'm just baffled at what I had just seen. Just as I thought it was over, there was another object, this one was completely different it's shape. It was like a cross with a glowing light on each end. It looked like a big box was on top of it, it too had weird flashing lights and abnormally large white lights on the ends of the cross.
This object too did not move from the spot it was in! When we passed this object, I looked back and I saw both of the objects still in the same place above the highway. So we kept driving and I called my dad and asked if planes can just sit in the sky. He said no, and there wouldn't be any helicopters there either. My dad saw a UFO a couple of years back in Apple Valley also. So me and my friend start discussing this, he doesn't really care, but I'm shocked and surprised at what we saw. So we drive off and we head on another road almost reaching our destination. I look to my left and you can see the trees and the highway and two really bright lights and a third object was coming towards them and just stopped. So there was a total of three in the end and we were about 3 to 4 miles away now. About 10 - 15 minutes after being on the highway the time was 8:45 pm. All this that happened in a matter of half an hour of driving. Then we came to the house we were planning on attending and the trees covered everything up and we went inside the house.
I started telling and asking everyone inside if they have seen anything like this they said no. They were shocked when we left about 3 hours later. We went the same direction back on the highway and everything was normal, but I saw in three parts off the sky, bright blue objects in different parts of the sky. I've seen these types of UFO's on the web people have pictures of them and video.

Calgary, Alberta Boomerang Object Filmed
Date: April 8, 2007 Time: 9:38 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Calgary NW
Shape of objects: Boomerang.
I took a picture of a very bright looking star to the west of me which was floating several hundred meters and approximately 1 kilometre from my location.
Went into home, downloaded picture onto computer and bright star turned out to be a boomerang shaped craft with discernable structural elements. No contrail behind object, no sound from object. Object proceeded in a south to north direction slowly for 23 minutes before direct line of sight of object cut off by intervening homes.
The approximate location of object was latitude: 51 degrees, 4 seconds, 19.08 North; 114 degrees, 8 minutes, 34.21 seconds West.
Picture can be viewed at: http://www.hbccufo.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2317
--------
I went out tonight with my camera and a Sony video camera at 8:30 tonight (April 11, 2007). An object appeared in the same area of sky, and this time the object was not a boomerang shaped object, but an object that appears to be changing shape. Please find attached photos (I have a series of photos, these are just a few and appear the best).
More pictures of this multiple shaped object in the north western sky of Calgary, Alberta.
