Kelowna, British Columbia AWAC Aircraft And Helicopters (Connection With Major UFO Event ?)
HBCC UFO Research Note: Reports have been coming in over a AWAC Aircraft flying in and around the Kelowna, B.C. area, also numerous helicopters. I don't know right now, but does this possibly have anything to do with the recent UFO sightings in Kelowna, B.C. where two UFO battled it out over the lake, one crashing into the lake and coming back out again ?
So like I'm sure you have been told, there was an AWAC aircraft over the lake a couple days ago. Today, while I was fishing, there was a helicopter flying extremely high (tons higher than a normal helicopter would fly) and he was circling the Westbank area for a good hour. Thought I'd let you know as I saw your posting.
Kelowna, B.C. AWAC Aircraft And Possibly The Wording On It Was NATO (?)
HBCC UFO Research Note: From the reports I have been receiving the aircraft was a AWAC Aircraft, looks like a NATO plane. Again, is there a possible connection to the July 2, 2007 sightings.
A friend told me he also saw the aircraft and it was actually Friday, not Saturday.
He said it was white with the large dish on top. He was looking up from a Kelowna carwash. It flew right over him and he said it was ultra quiet. He did not say he saw the words NASA but I will ask again tomorrow. I will also ask what time he saw it, as well.
The other 2 guys that saw it did not know there had been reports from July 2, 2007, so while they were telling the story about pulling over to watch the 'overshoot' they were surprised to here about the UFO reports and said" oh, that's why NASA is in town". So as soon as I can reach them, I will ask about the NASA words and if they just labeled it that or saw it on the plane. I'm sure I was told it said 'NASA'.
Additional Information:
Apparently the two guys who stopped and watched the plane near the Kelowna airport say it said NATO on it.
Kelowna, British Columbia Airport Operations Manager Confirms NATO Aircraft
HBCC UFO Research Note: The information below came from a person helping out on this case who wrote to the Kelowna
Airport Operations Manager.
We had a few calls about this one. It was a NATO aircraft, a modified Boeing 707, but what they were doing in our neck of the woods, I'm not sure. They did two fly over's of the airport, then went on their way, never actually landing here.
Sorry I don't have any additional information on that flight, but with military aircraft, we're not really privy too their operations or plans.

Yankton, South Dakota A Circular Cloud Stops Overhead And Flashed Colors
Date: June 1999. Time: 11:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Yankton, SD
Number of witnesses: 3+. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circle, then morphed to angel shape.
My late husband and I were at my father-in-law's house and had finished visiting. We walked outside and noticed that a couple of people in the Burger King parking lot (which was next door about 500 yards away) were looking up in the sky. The night was clear and I remember that the stars could be clearly seen. All of the sudden my husband said "Look at that cloud!" It was a perfectly circular cloud moving directly north and was about as high as a small plane would fly. I thought this was odd because there was a breeze coming from the south and this was the only cloud in the sky. The cloud stopped moving directly overhead and began to flash like a rainbow or an aura. Red, yellow, blue green, purple, pink, etc. It was emanating from inside the cloud and you could see the colours on the edge of the cloud brightly.
The colours were more like a flowing out than a pulse. My father-in-law ran inside the house out of pure fear, and yelled at my husband and myself to come in. My husband moved to the front door under a tree and for some reason I could not find the strength to move. I knew that this was important and needed to see it. I stood there for about 2 minutes when all of the sudden the cloud started to drop rapidly until it was about 200 feet overhead. I actually felt a pressure and thought it was going to crush me. I didn't hear any sounds or smell anything. I just felt paralyzed. The flowing lights continued the whole time the cloud was right above me. I am not sure how long I stood there, but the next thing I know, it felt like whatever was in the cloud was gone. The cloud slowly spread out and rose up in the air, and the lights continued to flow. It was quite beautiful and I remember being mesmerized. As the cloud spread out and the lights continued I will tell you something that even I don't want to say because it sounds so "out there" !
The cloud actually took on the shape of an angel with wings and the lights seemed to emanate from the center outward to the tips of the wings. My husband had since come out from under the tree when the cloud moved up in the air. We stood there for about 15 minutes watching this shape with its lights until it just eventually dissipated and there was nothing left. Other normal clouds had moved into the area, and they did not have any lights flowing, as we had assumed this might have been the aurora borealis.
My father-in-law never came outside and more strange never mentioned this again. The other observers in the Burger King parking lot were gone, and I don't remember when they left. I have always remembered this and have always felt that something extraordinary happened. I am just now reporting this because for the first time I read of some one reporting to you of a similar experience (7/15/07 rense.com). I have never heard of this particular type of thing and I have searched for many years to hear of this. Well, that's it and if someone could let me know something about this

Casper, Wyoming A Silver Gray Metallic Round Object
Date: July 2, 2007. Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Casper Wy.
Number of witnesses: 3. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Greetings from Casper Wyoming.A little back ground, I'm 41 years ol. July 2, 2007 at 6:30 in the evening my two boy and myself had just sat down for dinner, still plenty of day light. My youngest said to me, Dad look at that big balloon out side.
I turned looking north and sure enough there was a large, (so I thought) balloon. As I studied the balloon it being somewhat silver, grey metallic the more I studied it, didn't look like a balloon. My oldest saying at the same time as me that's not a balloon. It was stationary for what seemed like a minute or so and then started to move to the west, moving behind the neighbours house and trees directly across the street from ours. I immediately jumped up from the table and ran out the front door, my boys following in close pursuit. We ran up the street to the west in order to clear the neighbours house and trees obstructing our view of this object. It cleared the trees, changed course and headed straight north at a speed I could never even guess. At arms length with one eye closed it was roughly the size of a thumb tack.
A year ago I had also seen an orange light in the night sky, no jet sound and believe me I know what a jet sounds like. Fifteen years aviation maintains moving vary fast and now for probably what will be the strangest and most bizarre story I have ever related to anyone. On July 4th 07 my family was invited too spend the weekend with a friend at her family's cabin in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. The group of us our walking along a marshy creek and right there in the mud I found a foot print bigger than mine, five toes and a heel, strange happening in Wyoming

Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia Two Ring Shaped Craft Skip Across The Bottom Of The Clouds
Date: July 5, 2007.ime: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Bay of Fundy
Number of witnesses: 3. Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round.
Myself and 2 other witnesses were sitting in the back yard, as a huge cloud bank moved over our heads. This weather pattern that usually happens 3-5 times a week. As we watched the clouds, the first of two objects flew directly over our heads. It headed in a true north direction. This was followed by another object which headed more to the east of true north. These objects skimmed the underside of the cloud bank. The light omitted from the craft, was a camera flash intense white light. These objects travelled 10 times faster than any jet we have seen. There was no lightning in the area that evening.
HBCC UFO Research telephone interview, additional information.
The witness and a couple of friends were sitting outside enjoying the evening when they noticed a cloud bank come rolling in, nothing unusual about this as the witness said the cloud bank rolls in every night and a while later the cloud bank usually dissipates. The witnesses all sat watching the cloud cover when they saw a light, a ring shaped object flying sideways coming out of the bottom of the cloud. The witness said the ring shaped object would skip off one cloud and then another as it travelled along. The fellow estimates the ring shaped objects was at approximately 1000 feet above the three people. The man stated again that it looked exactly like a ring with light emitting off the ring itself. The witness said he was in air cadets and has flown in numerous military aircraft and this object was flying at a fast rate of speed, faster than a military jet aircraft. Also there was light trailing off of the strange object.

Bay Of Fundy, Nova Scotia Jet Aircraft Makes Quick Maneuver To Avoid A UFO
Date: July 12, 2007. Time: Afternoon.
On the afternoon of July 12, 2007 my daughter and I witnessed an incident over the Bay airspace. This incident was the sure thing, for it was very visible. I would like to discuss this in person on the phone. Chemtrail sprayer, nearly knocked from the sky by a flying flopping disc.
The man's daughter was out on the trampoline when the Dad called out to his daughter and said to look at the large aircraft that was travelling above them through the sky. Both witnesses now looking up at the aircraft observed a disk shaped craft falling down in the sky, pretty much flopping from side to side, or a good example would be watching a leave fall through the air. It appeared that the craft was falling out of control. (please keep in mind that this craft was falling and "above" the jet aircraft).
The jet airliner was heading north when the craft levelled out at approximately the same altitude as the jet was at and proceeded to fly straight at the jet. The contrail following behind the jet had ceased and the jet made a quick maneuver to avoid a collision with the unknown disk shaped craft. Matter of fact the jet wings were tilted and the jet dropped in altitude somewhat then climbed up and levelled off. The pilot made a hard and quick maneuver to avoid the disk shaped craft. The witness said the UFO finally climbed in altitude and back up into a dark cloud cover and that was the last they saw of the object.

Parkland Region In Manitoba, White Flashing Light Comes To A Stop
Date: July 15, 2007. Time: 11:17 p.m.
11:17 pm last night, Sunday July 15th.
Parkland region in Manitoba, Canada
I was at my lake last night in Manitoba. There were three of my friends and I was just sitting around the campfire on the north shore. I was standing there, looking up at the stars, suddenly noticed a very strange thing.
There was a flashing object flying across the sky, coming in from west and heading east. It was a white light that it flashed as it crossed the sky. At first I thought it was an airliner. It took less than a minute for it to get to the direct south of our location.
Suddenly it became apparent it was not a jet as it suddenly just stopped moving. It stopped for two or three seconds then it started to move upward as it seemed to almost zigzag on it's way up.
The object did climb a fair distance and then it stopped moving one again. It sat for a couple seconds and started back towards the west, the same direction as it came from but at a very noticeable increased speed. It continued on west and then it disappeared as in vanished. Throughout the entire movement of this object, continue flashing the entire time. The entire sighting lasted about 2 minutes.
I talked to my friends that were all there watching, none of us had ever seen anything like. It was certainly not as close as all of my other sightings but. I truly do not feel that it was anything that would be considered normal

Richard Park, Verdun Quebec Saucer With Green Halo Emitting From Bottom
Date: July 8 and 16, 2007. Time: 10:00-11:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Richard park, Verdun
Number of witnesses: 2. Number of objects: 1-3
Shape of objects: Saucer, green halo emitting from bottom.
I had been in Richard Park around 10:00 pm on Sunday, the 8th of July.I saw what appeared to be a yellow-tinged star from a distance, but with time noticed that it was moving with reference to a street lamp in the distance. I became curious and wanted to follow as the movement seemed either very fast if it were from a long distance, or was very close.
What initially bothered me was that as I was walking around the park, along the shoreline, was that I felt I was getting a different vantage point of the object as I was moving only a few hundred feet - very much unlike an airplane.
As the object got closer, it went from being a blinking patterned light to being 3 lights, horizontally aligned, and blinking, but not in a uniform pattern.
The craft originally was coming from the South and flying northbound. I was standing in Richard park, directly across from Adrien Archambault Park, where there is a baseball field that was lit up at that time. The craft flew in between Montreal Island and Nun's Island (Ile des Soeurs), though it was closer to the baseball field, still flying North. This is where I saw the craft, roughly fifty feet in diameter, and no more than 300 feet off the ground saucer-shaped, and tilted in the direction it was moving. There were minor lights on it, it was moving very slowly and clearly between the two parks, flying over the narrow body of water. At its closest, I noticed a green halo emitting from the underside, almost like a circular green neon light. It continued flying North and turned due west - which I found odd as it was flying towards downtown and flew into the distance underneath the spot-lights atop the high-rise buildings downtown.
Amazed by what I had seen, I went home, told my girlfriend about the sighting and she believed what I had said, but was in disbelief about the craft. I convinced her to come with me to the park, just to keep looking around for a while. For roughly 40 minutes thereafter, until roughly 11:15 pm, we witnessed other strange crafts - at too great a distance to positively identify, but close enough and with odd enough movements to doubt them being airplanes or weather balloons.
We had seen multiple crafts at a time, not flying too close to one another, but on the horizon, flying low and close enough to be aware of the proximity to one another. These crafts were flying in wide circles, around Nun's island, North and west around downtown, and back to the south. We saw at most 3 or 4 crafts at one time and one had come in between Richard park and Nun's island, albeit further and higher than the sighting where I was alone, but my girlfriend and I had both noticed another saucer shaped object, again, roughly fifty feet in diameter but this time closer to 700 feet above the ground and a little further from us.
I have seen a similar craft Monday July 16th at roughly 11:00 p.m. I am not certain if this is an isolated or ongoing phenomenon with a logical explanation. I am certain of what I saw, and saw other people at a distance in the park, whom I decided not to approach on the UFO/flying saucer I had just seen.
I try to make time most nights to take a little walk by the park to see if anything else comes up and after searching, found a similar sighting in the same area in July of 2003. I would like to report it now that I've seen something twice, and am curious if anyone else in the neighbourhood has witnessed anything strange or has any explanations.

Missouri City, Texas Witness Reports Lit Up White Saucer Shaped Craft
Date: July 16, 2007. Time: 11:07 p.m.
The strangest thing at Missouri City, Texas (Houston suburb).
I believe I saw at least two UFO's maybe three. It happened at 7/16/07 at about 11:07 p.m. and I felt like I needed to go outside in the front yard. I looked up at the stars and it was a beautiful lit night. It got my attention in the distance on a bright light which I thought was a star. But underneath it was a flashing lighted star (twinkling). It was stationary not moving so it wasn't a plane. The thing is I ran inside and got my video camera and I turned on the zoom lens and the little twinkling star was moving and looked like a craft.
I zoomed in on the bigger white star and low and behold it was a bigger saucer shaped craft, white lit up and twirling with three circles moving in like different direction clockwise and counter clockwise. I would have never guessed it without the zoom lens. It looks like a white bright star.
The objects stayed in the sky for a long time cause I checked again at like 7/17/07 at like 1:07 and they were still out there they moved though more northern. Any reports of sighting in Houston at that time just curious. I have no idea what they were but it was awesome. I think there was a itty bitty one too but that was seen on the video and not sure of it

Mercer University Drive, Macon Georgia Object With Deep Red Flashing Lights
Date: July 17, 2007. Time: 0013 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Mercer University Drive, Macon GA.
Number of witnesses: 1. Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Red flashing lights.
Let me preface this by saying that I have never thought of doing something like this before, and I am a "seeing is believing" type of person. I also want to let you know that I had spent 12 years in the Air Force, and my wife is still currently active at Robins AFB, so I am a little familiar with what aircraft look like. I am writing this approximately 25 minutes after this sighting. Lastly, while I am not entirely convinced that this is an actual "UFO sighting", I would like to provide additional info in case someone else in my area reports this strange occurrence.
While stepping outside of work for a smoke break, I noticed two brightly flashing lights approximately 20 to 25 degrees above my horizon look E-NE. Both objects appeared approximately two to three miles distant, and approaching me in such a way as to pass to the East of me by maybe a mile. I watched the lights for approximately 20 to 30 seconds before they passed behind a large tree, blocking my view. At first I suspected these lights to be aircraft flying to Robins AFB, as both were travelling at a speed that I would estimate to be faster than civilian aircraft or helicopters. I could detect no sound. Three things in particular caught my attention enough to question what I was seeing.
1. - The lights of both craft (I am assuming that there were two) appeared to be flying in perfect tandem with each other, not uncommon with military aircraft, with one light trailing the other by perhaps 750 to 1000 feet, far enough to make it too large for both lights to be from any one aircraft I have seen.
2. - The lights from both craft, at the distance which I saw them, appeared much larger that typical aircraft lights. They were approximately the luminosity of aircraft landing lights yet not blinding, and did not appear to shine light in any specific direction. What I mean by this is it didn't create any sort of beam of light in the sense that aircraft landing lights do. The colour was a deep red, almost of the sort that you would see on a tall radio tower, but brighter.
3. - This is the one that got me thinking, both lights blinked in perfect unison with each other. I would estimate that the light would illuminate for 1-1/2 to 2 seconds, then disappear for the same duration. When the lights were off, there was no indication of any other wing lights or other illumination. Both lights blinked in perfect unison with each other for the 20 to 30 seconds that I first saw them, which I thought was unusual.
At this point, I was curious enough to change my vantage point. I moved to the side parking lot of my office to try to catch another view, and saw an aircraft in the distance probably 4 to 5 miles away, but clearly identifiable as an airplane from the light array. Thinking that I had just seen an airplane, I turned my head and saw both lights again, still blinking in unison. They were now moving in a southerly direction, and still exhibited no other running lights. Suddenly, and in tandem, both lights appeared to change direction to the East, and then to the E-NE. This was a very fluid movement, not sudden, but quickly enough to make me think that it was a very maneuverable jet. Both lights executed the maneuver without growing closer or further apart from each other, as if was a single craft. Also, the lights did not appear to alter position, such as if wings were turning. They maintained their luminosity throughout the turn. The blinking pattern remaining constant throughout. I watched this for another 10 -15 seconds before the lights simply vanished. Interestingly, a second or so after the two unidentified lights changed course, the distant aircraft also changed course, though in a much more leisurely manner.

Ottawa, Ontario Silvery Domed Object
Date: July 17, 2007. Time: Around 5:45 - 6:00 a.m.
Something very strange happened on the bus this morning, as we got out of the shadows cast by the trees past Queensway station, I saw a small domed silvery object, up in the sky, at about 35%, an estimated distance of 2 kilometers. That object was stationary, and was reflecting the sun. It was in the south direction. The sun was shining on its surface with a very bright golden colour. Just as I crossed the Carling street bridge before reaching Lincoln Field station I lost sight of it for 2 seconds. Quickly scanning the sky, the object was gone. No traces of it in the sky. The object had no wings, no tail, no lights and was dome shaped. This all happened at around 5:45am - 6:00am. This was the 3rd time I saw similar object in the Ottawa region. This sighting lasted about 12 seconds.
This is the 3rd time I see a similar object in Ottawa, in the last 6 weeks, but never so close and well defined.
