Between Prince George And Vancouver B.C. Black Rectangle Viewed From West Jet Flight
Date: December 2000 ?.
Time: Early afternoon.
Location of Sighting: Somewhere between Prince George & Vancouver B.C.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Rectangle.
"Flying Briefcase" is the best description I can give of what I saw high above the mountains of British Columbia.
The recent reports that have been sent in by others, about black rectangles, has brought back this episode to mind.
I'm not sure, but think it was likely in December around 1999 or 2000. I could be quite incorrect on the date. I just know it was a while ago.
I was flying south from Prince George to Victoria as a passenger on a regular West Jet flight. We left Prince George in relatively clear sky but as we neared the Coast Mountains the cloud cover below increased. We were flying in sunshine well above the clouds, probably at an altitude of around 30,000 feet.
My seat was near the back of the plane on the right side and I had my face pressed against the window for most of the flight. I was watching for any gaps in the clouds below, so I was looking directly down. We were traveling in a south west direction so the sun was not shining on my side of the plane.
That is when I saw the "briefcase" fly past, right below the wing. If it had been much more underneath the plane it would have been out of my line of sight.
I saw it for only a second but the rectangular shape and black color was very definite against the backdrop of white clouds below. Instinctively I turned my head towards the back of the plane where it had disappeared, but of course saw nothing.
My thought progression went something like this. "Oh, someone lost a briefcase. A cargo door must be open" followed by "Don't be silly, it must have been a very big bird. Lucky we didn't hit it!" and "I wish we could turn around and take another look".
I sat bemused for a while, acknowledging to myself that I don't think any birds really fly that high and even if they did, I don't know of any that are shaped like a rectangle! I knew it wasn't lost luggage. I've already been on a plane flying out of Prince George that had an open door in the cargo area. Believe me, we noticed!
I don't know if anyone else saw the shape. The pilots might have since we flew right over it, but they certainly weren't going to get on the intercom and say something like" Wow! Did any of you see that black thing we almost hit? I wonder what it was?"
Since that time I've periodically thought about finding someone who has skills in physics. I certainly don't. I would like to be able to calculate the size of the object. I know it was actually much larger than a briefcase. At the speed we were going I imagine a briefcase would have been no more than a quick black flash, if that. I feel the shape was quite close to the plane because of the speed it passed by. I've been in jets when I've looked out to see other large jets going the opposite direction not far below us. They are visible and easily identifiable for a relatively long time.
As far as I know we were about 30,000 feet and traveling around 400 mph. I don't know how high the clouds were but we were well above them. The object was between us and the clouds.

Northern New York and Southern Ontario Object Lands
Date: June 15, 2007
I just wanted to give you a general update on Northern New York and Southern Ontario. I have been witness also to the solid white and blue objects that are being reported around the globe. Almost every night I see at least two of these objects is that they run east to west or west to east in direction, which is opposite to the plane direction. What happened to me last week is that I seen over 6 of these objects in one night and I was getting ready to go inside when I noticed a few hundred feet above the tree's in my backyard a major power-up it was a solid white light that brightened 6x the magnitude it was almost like it was acknowledging that they saw I was looking.
That same night my son and I went out for a quick dusk bike ride and spotted to objects solid black in color running together however it was dark enough that their lights should have been visible at that time of the day but weren't that sighting lasted approx 5 minutes their was no jet sound and no contrail visible. That night there was also a lot of commercial airplane traffic however a lot of the planes exhibited no sound and these planes have a ton of lights on them, could someone publish a list of standard lights associated with commercial airplanes. Also, one other thing this same night I witnessed a ton of activity near the big dipper located off the top corner of the spoon part at least a dozen solid color objects moving back and forth in that area. I'm getting to the point that something big is about to happen, the boldness and frequency is out of control.
Along with this on Friday June 15th, 2007, I believe I witnessed a vehicle landed on the ground, we were at a drive-in theatre about a half-hour from here located in Alex Bay, NY. We were getting out of the vehicle to get ready to go when I spotted a solid white and blue object at a low altitude heading in the easterly direction, when I left I chose to go in the same direction on state rt 26 when after about 5 minutes of driving I noticed along the road something strange I saw an object on the right side of the road about 10 perfectly rectangular lights in a row with another soft orange round lights situated right above the rectangular lights which were a soft white/blue color that seemed translucent along with white fog or steam near the object the whole situation made me nervous and I didn't say anything to the rest of the family. So the next day I went on Google earth to look and see if there was a building in the location where I saw the object and there wasn't anything on there, so on Father's Day we went up there to investigate and found no building located there I plan on going back again to see if there was any damage to the surrounding area and whether anyone experienced anything strange that night.

Time: N/A
Two months approx ago I saw a V- shaped UFO, approximately 60-70 feet above the ground at night round about 12:15 am 1st I had seen that and then my friend seen that to and we saw 3 V's exactly the shape of V with all the lights at the bottom going at high speed never saw any thing moving that fast in sky . I never believe in UFO but now I do. I am in Fort McMurray, Alberta .
Never send an e-mail to anyone because no body believes until you had an experience. I used to laugh at people.

Kelowna, British Columbia Military AWAC Flew Over Lake Corridor
HBCC UFO Research Note: Possible connection to the July 2, 2007 UFO Battle over Kelowna, British Columbia.
Normally I would never report on any thing like this, however I would like to help you research in one specific case that you are working on. My family and I were in Kelowna visiting relatives. We were having lunch at a park by Knox mountain when a Military AWAC flew very low along the lake corridor.. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and this immediately sparked my interest.. I grew up in Kelowna and military activity has never been observed by me so it sparked my interest. I found this occurrence very puzzling. I did not get a very good look since I saw it through the trees, however being into aviation, there is no mistaking the AWAC with its distinctive DISC on the top of the fuselage. This brings me to my long winded point. I waited a few weeks and googled "Kelowna" "AWAC" which eventually led me to your site. I saw that you are doing research and I thought it might be advantageous for you to have another eyewitness account of this aircraft flying in the area. I did not see any UFO activity. I have in the past seen on four separate occasions UFO activity so I am sympathetic to your cause. This may be a simple eyewitness account which may have little bearing on your research. Hope this helps.

Northeastern Sky In London Ontario Fireball
Date: July 15, 2007
Time: 3:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Northeastern sky in London Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Fireball.
I was sitting out on my balcony having a cigarette when out of nowhere a fireball appeared, heading north. It looked like a fireball, and only lasted for maybe 5 seconds, and then it disappeared. I then looked in the direction it was traveling, and saw it again, only much smaller, just like a normal star, except it was the same orange color. I saw it again for another 5 seconds roughly, and then it just faded away.

Bolton, Ontario A Boomerang Shaped Object
Date: July 31, 2007
Time: 9:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Bolton, Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Boomerang.
It was around 9:00 pm and my wife and I were out on the back porch. I was doing some brief star gazing, observing the constellations Cygnus, Aquila and Lyra (the summer triangle).
I was studying the stars for only a mere matter of minutes before I noticed something shooting straight through Cygnus and heading towards Lyra (actually close to Vega which is inside Lyra). It was white and grey in appearance and it had a boomerang shape to it. Almost like a banana shape and it was moving with the arc of object facing forward in it's movement. It was quite fast, much faster than any satellite and it did NOT show the sameness of a meteor flare-up. I don't know what a comet might look like if traveling through the atmosphere.
It only took about 10 seconds or more for the object to pass through the two mentioned constellations and then it simply vanished as it headed in a south/south/west (or so) direction.
It was amazing to say the least. Never saw this sort of thing before. Whether it is a UFO, I don't know, as it didn't seem to display any 'tricky' flight control. But is was fast, and did have that distinctive shape to it.

Killeen Ft. Hood, Central Texas A Steady White Glow (Unknown Object)
Date: August 2, 2007
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Killeen/Ft. Hood
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: ?
My husband was standing in our front yard talking to a friend of his. He came in to get me and told me to check it out. I looked up and there was something flying extremely fast. About a minute later another one followed. My husband told me that I missed the first one. We live next to Fort Hood army base so we are used to seeing military aircraft. The sky was clear except for a few random clouds. We have watched the space station go our us numerous times and these things moved a lot faster than that. There were no flashing lights just a steady white like glow.

North Devon, U.K. A Blue - Silver Sphere
Date: August 2, 2007
Time: Approx: 4.30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Back garden at home.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Spheres.
At about 4.30pm today I was in my back garden playing around with a new digital camera my husband bought me a couple days ago. I was looking around for things to photograph and thought I'd take some photos of the birds etc, I had a thought that it would be great if I could see a UFO and take a photo of it (I swear this is true!!) just after I had thought this, I was looking up into the sky and to my absolute amazement I noticed a blue/silver sphere in the sky in an easterly direction. I was amazed I just stood there looking up at it when it seemed to either get bigger or nearer, I then saw a second identical smaller sphere appear to the left of the larger sphere, the smaller sphere hung there for about a minute then disappeared, the larger one stayed there, I was trying to take photos of it. I still haven't got the hang of using the zoom yet and so just kept aiming it and hoping for the best that I'd get a photo of it.
The larger sphere after hanging there for a few minutes then started moving on towards the east at a higher altitude, then disappeared from sight. The whole sighting lasted approx 4 - 5 minutes, next I down-loaded the photos from my camera, which on first inspection seemed that I had not managed to get a picture of what I'd seen, however, on closer inspection I could see that in fact I did get a picture of one of the spheres, later in the evening I was able to actually enlarge the photo and could very clearly see the sphere.

Glace Bay, Nova Scotia An Extremely Bright White Light
Date: August 2, 2007
Time: 10:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Patio deck, back yard.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very bright ball of white light.
I was debating on reporting this or not but when I just read about the Pleasant Bay sighting I changed my mind because what I saw. I think could have been the same thing. I was scanning the sky as I do every chance I get. I noticed an extremely bright white light just as bright or possibly a little brighter than Venus, but the weird thing is the fact that their was nothing in that part of the sky when I first looked. Then I turned my head for maybe 3 seconds to the left, then when I looked back to the right it was there moving very slow east to west approx: 30-40 thousand feet. As I watched it move the light almost like imploded down to the size of a regular sized star then it just slowly flew away until it was out of sight. I thought you might be interested to here about this considering the other sighting their definitely seems to be a fair amount of activity in our area, and I'm sure if more people started to keep their eyes open they would notice this.
