Eugene, Oregon A Pizza Shaped UFO
Date: 1962
Time: N/A.
I decided to finally tell about an event that took place many years ago, in
1962, when I was ten years old. When we stepped out to the parking lot, there
were about 8 to 13 people in various areas of the parking area, the sidewalk,
and the bicycle rack, all looking up, some pointing.
We looked up and saw a small silver (or white, or light grey) pizza shaped
craft in the air, not high up at all. Maybe 200 feet. (I climbed 200 foot
Douglas Fir trees all the time back then, so I could judge the distance pretty
well ). It made no noise, had no lights, no visible seams, no windows, no
markings whatsoever. We watched for a few minutes and then got in our car and
left. The day was clear blue sky, unlike an average day in that particular
area of that particular state. From the library, we drove straight west about
4 miles, where we turned to go south 8 more miles to home.
Before we made that left turn to go south, we noticed the air-object-thing was
also going west parallel to us. We turned left and so did it. It was pacing
our car and at that time, we realized it had an interest in us. And so then
we were all terrified. So much so, that my Mother let me sit on the open
window of the back passenger door to watch and report on it.
The silver thing was nearly directly overhead at that point. We were about 4
miles from our house still. We had just cleared a fairly high hill and was on
the downward side. Not one other car in site. The object was spookily silent
and the more we slowed, the more it did, so I think that my mother, panicking,
decided to speed up to get home before it "got us". But none of us knows from
that point on. We don't remember getting home, don't remember the thing
leaving, nothing. I haven't talked to anyone in my family for over ten years
except for the one brother who is just a year younger than me. After 10 years,
I finally talked to him last fall. I asked what he remembered and he said just
that all us girls were really hysterically excited in the car that day. My
mother had called the airport but learned nothing. She called the news or it
was in the paper the next day, I don't clearly remember.
What was reported is that, some university kids had put a candle into a
balloon, and that's what everyone saw! I was young, but not stupid and that
explanation was ludicrous. My arms are clumsily numb, so please forgive my
crude illustrations. The first picture, I tried to represent the tree-line
that was about 50 feet off the western side of the paved highway. Most of the
trees were second growth timber that averaged 150 to 200 feet tall. They were
thick, and went back undisturbed by any houses for 4 miles or so. There
weren't any houses on either side of the highway and none could be seen from
there. The triangle shape was twice the height of the trees (at most) during
that stretch of the road. It stayed towards "my side" of the car (western
side) while still being up. It may have been 30 feet long on the sides and 15
across the back.( an isosceles triangle, I guess). The skinny point was aimed
the same direction as our car. The sun was down low behind the trees, but with
plenty of light. It hadn't started to get dark yet. No glares of light or
anything. Well, that's it for now. I am afraid that something happened but I
don't know what ! Sincerely. (name removed)
Additional Information:
It started at the Eugene Public Library in Eugene, Oregon. It's a University
town and the library was close to the whole University of Oregon complex. From
the library, the street to head home on, is 11th Ave., which becomes West 11th
headed towards Fern Ridge Dam and the small town of Veneta, Oregon. The
Airport is also out there, and the speedway (race-track), to the North of W.
11th. When we turn to head South, I believe that piece of the road was called
Bailey Hill Road (that's what we called it). And that's the name of the Hill
we had to cross over.
(It was a high spot that we used to park on to see the fireworks-- but usually
was too cloudy and rainy to see much). After the area where the "event"
occurred, about 4 miles away from W. 11th, we meet up with Lorane Highway, and
4 miles further is where our house was. Where something (or nothing) happened,
was only about 1/4 to 1/2 mile on the town side of our grade school, where we
had been picked up from earlier, and had to pass by to get home. It's called
Twin Oaks Elementary School. At that point, only my oldest sister went into
town to school, to the middle school, which was Jefferson Jr. High.
We had just bought the station wagon that year, and we didn't have it long,
because my mother, driving us home from the drive-in late, late at night, hit
a deer and totaled it out. I don't think we had it but for a year , less than
two. There were some odd things happen that may or not be connected with this
encounter. The one that springs to mind right now took place in the woods
about 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile behind our property. Me and my brothers were
hiking/exploring (I was always the leader on our adventures). We came to an
area that was a meadow like clearing in the forest. There was a waterfall
coming "out of nowhere" that disappeared behind a seemingly new, chain link
fence. That was unusual but what really interested us was an area of twisted
metal and some skulls 5 to 7, I think,that lay there amongst them. It was
clear there had been an old road there at one point, so a wreck was what we
thought. However they weren't human skulls, so we told ourselves goats! But
they didn't look anything like goat skulls, and closer to human.
Our place was a goat-farm prior to us buying it (in 1958) and there were a lot
of goat skulls in a wooden enclosure down by our pasture. And our neighbor
still had a goat herd, so we definitely knew what a goat skull looked like.
There seemed to be at least two tangled vehicles in the crash, and it seemed
like it had been there a long time. So the new-looking fence around that
mysterious water falls was even more of a mystery. We got spooked out and
left. We tried to re-find it years later but with no luck. By that time, I had
convinced myself that it was some moonshiners who'd wrecked or had a shootout
back there on that hidden road, sometime years earlier (30 or so). And maybe
the "fake?" waterfall was part of a whiskey-still set-up. (I think that was my
father's idea when we told him about it). I talked to brother #2 sometime
around 1994, and he remembered the odd skulls and what he described as a
wrecked flat bed truck. (This isn't the same brother that I talked to about
the 1962 event-- that was bro.#1). while we were remembering (still trying to
figure the oddities out, as adults) he mentioned a symbol that was "given" to
him and really important to him. He assumed I had the same one, but when I
didn't guess his the first time, he wouldn't tell me anymore. So, I don't
know what he was talking about, although it seemed linked to this strange
stuff. (I do have a mark that appeared suddenly. It looks like a birthmark,
and isn't a scar, and is so faded it's nearly impossible to see now.) So, now
you can see why I haven't shared this sort of stuff with anyone besides my
kids and husband.

Beausejour, Manitoba A Silver Angular Shaped UFO
Date: 1965/1966
Time: Night
Number of witnesses: 3 when distant, 1 when near.
Number of objects: 1
I have read a post from Windsor, Ontario, 1960s, as this was about the time of
my own sighting. It was near Beausejour, Manitoba, approximately 1965 or 1966,
as I remember I was about 6 years old and could barely see above the window
sill of our farmhouse.
There were unusual lights in the sky that night, far in the distance and my
mom and dad watched them from our house for a minute or two before my parents
left to go back to the kitchen. I stood there watching and eventually the
lights started approaching. I remember seeing a silver angular shaped craft
which I can see clearly in my mind, begin to lower itself over a telephone
pole across the road near the neighbors driveway.
Similar to the description from Windsor, Ontario, it had a circle of lights,
multicolored, on the bottom of the craft, spinning in a circle, as if the
whole underside of the craft was rotating. It hovered there for quite some
time and I remember yelling for my parents to come back to see it now, but
they said something like, "we already have seen it." I stared at it for quite
some time and I clearly remember thinking that I will remember this for the
rest of my life, even though I was very young.
The craft was silver colored and had clear angular corners and hovered without
noise for quite some time. Eventually, I have no idea how long later, it began
to rise up and slowly progress to the middle of the sky where suddenly it shot
across the sky at a speed I could not imagine being from any plane I had ever
saw. It was clear to me even as a child this was incredibly fast. I believe
there were sightings in Beausejour area in the 60s and once I saw an ad in the
local paper as an adult for anyone with sightings in this area from the 60s to
write. I did not respond to the ad but always regret that.
My mother to this day remembers the night we watched the far away lights in
the sky and that I excitedly tried to get them to return to the window but
they refused.

Port Renfrew Vancouver Island, British Columbia Sasquatch Sighting
Date: Summer 2004
Time: Midday.
Location of Sighting: Port Renfrew Vancouver Island
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sasquatch.
Full Description of event/sighting: I just read the post about that Sasquatch
sighting in Port Renfrew; the same thing happened to me in the summer of 2004.
We had a mineral claim up an abandoned logging road just outside the village
of Port Renfrew. One afternoon, I was alone at the trailer, my husband was
working. I had to go to work myself in the afternoon, so I got in the truck
and started driving down the old road. Not even a 100 meters away, I saw what
at first I thought to be a bear, because we knew there was a big and also a
smaller bear hanging in the area. So I started to stop the truck. It had come
out of the bush from the left side of the road, where the land drops quit a
bit, and when it got in the middle of the road, it froze, seeing my truck
coming. Then he bolted towards the other side of the road, where there was a
rock face.
There's actually an animal trail going up that rock, and also another
abandoned road on top of it which is totally over grown. I remember freezing
myself, because my brain couldn't understand what I was seeing. It was
impossible a bear could just come out of the bush, standing up, walk on the
road and then start running, still standing on two legs, and hop up the trail!
It was dark brown, about 7 foot tall, walked like a man. I could see it
clearly because by the time I stopped the truck, it wasn't even 20 meters away
and it was on very a bright day. I saw it's face when it turned around to look
at the truck. It really did look like Sasquatch depictions I have seen up to
now. I remember getting of the truck and checking the road and up the trail if
I could see anything. But I didn't find anything. I didn't hear or saw it
again afterwards.

East Toronto, Ontario - City Of Toronto Police Officer Witnesses A Huge UFO
Date: Fall 2004
Time: Approx: 2:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: East Toronto.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large gold ball glowing no tail.
HBCC UFO Research Note: The police officer mentioned that he texted his radio
dispatcher by way of the computer enquiring if any other reports had been
received over the object he witnessed. The dispatcher confirmed that some
other folks had made calls over the sighting. So if anyone remembers back and
had seen this object would they please contact me. Thank you.
Full Description of event/sighting: I am a Police officer employed by the City
of Toronto Ontario. I have been so employed 29 years. In the Fall of 2004 in
the afternoon I was assigned the traffic enforcement detail. To do this I use
a Laser speed measuring device. In the afternoon I was on a major north south
road in the city's east end. I was seated inside my parked auto facing north.
I was looking at the heavily overcast skies when something caught my eye. I
looked directly overhead and saw a large golden orb. It glowed but had no
discernable tail. It was within the clouds but the bottom of the orb was
slightly lower and visible. The clouds were low, but I could tell this object
was huge. It moved northbound at a high rate of speed causing a wake in the
clouds. I could see it was indeed an orb from a distance before it went out of
sight. In 4 - 6 seconds it was gone.
After several minutes I texted my radio dispatcher by way of the computer and
asked if there were any calls for a meteor or lights in the sky. The
dispatcher after several minutes confirmed some calls did come in regarding
lights in the sky. I kept my sighting to myself and made no report to my
superiors. I fully expected something in the evening news about a meteor in
the sky. There were no news reports to my knowledge. Before this incident I
had little interest in UFO sightings etc.

Kelowna, British Columbia Lights Groups Together
Date: June 15, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 - 10:30 p.m.
I would really like an answer (although I understand some things are not
explainable) to what I saw. On the evening of June 15, 2008 I was working at
the Kelowna Golf and Country Club which backs onto Dilworth Mountain. It was
approximately 10:00-10:30pm and weather conditions that night were clear.
There were two other employees present sitting on the back deck that looks
over the course and Dilworth Mountain is the back drop. I was inside when one
of the employees came rushing in and told me I needed to come out side and see
"this". I went outside and quickly glanced up towards the mountain. I saw
four lights which, each of these lights appeared to be three lights grouped
together, 1 large and two smaller right beside the larger.
Three of the orbs were in a triangle formation about mid-way down the back of
Dilworth Mountain. There was a fourth that was lower than the other three. We
stood and watched them for approximately five minutes. Two of the orbs started
to rise slowly and seemed to merge together, we commented how it looked like
they were going to crash into each other. After merging they moved upward.
The third did the same and all of them eventually disappeared. The fourth orb
moved more slowly upward then stopped and sent out tendrils of lights.
Interestingly enough another employee of the club who wasn't working that
night had gone out for a walk up Crawford Road. He saw the lights come in from
the northeast and line up in a row before moving into the triangle formation.
Then he saw everything we did after that.
One strange thing that stands out is that three out of the four of us who saw
it didn't seem to remember it until it was mentioned to us. My wife had asked
me the next day if I had told our son and I didn't know what she was talking
about until she mentioned it. Two of the other witnesses mentioned this memory
issue as well. You would think after witnessing such an event it would be
foremost in your mind. I would like to mention that up until that night I
thought all this UFO stuff was kind of crap but I definitely saw something
that I cannot explain.

Date: July 1, 2008
Time: 3:45 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 6
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: cylindrical
Weather Conditions: Clear
Description: There were 6 of us laying on the beach just before 4:00am, when
there was a large explosion in the southwest sky. Meteor like object flew east
with large vapor trail. The trail tapered off as the object seemed to break
apart into 2 lights, one a bit above the other. There appeared to be a tube
between the lights, making the object one, but the tube was dark so I can't
say for sure. It or they faded off in the eastern sky, appearing to lose
altitude. Also lights in the distance, afterwards

Scarborough, Ontario UFO Passes Over Top Of Jet Aircraft
Date: July 3, 2008
Time: Approx: 5:00 p.m.
I would like to report a UFO to you. On Thursday, July 3rd 2008 I went to my
wife’s parents home in central Scarborough (Mc Cowan /Lawrence) after work
5:00pm. While walking down the driveway with garbage bags in each hand. I
could hear a loud jet noise close by and turned southward. I could see that it
was quite low (3000-5000ft approx) heading towards my direction. I was under a
large tree, and stopped to watch it pass overhead beyond the tree - northward.
As the jet appeared, my heart started to race. Just above the jet and crossing
over the jet at a higher altitude. I could see a round brilliant white colored
UFO ? This thing was moving on a straight flight path above, heading westward,
towards northern Toronto. It really freaked me out, as I watched for about 10
seconds. Looked really dense of whiteness and moved one and a half times the
speed of a jet.
It was the way it moved, that was the real eerie part. The movement was just
like Pac Man, the video game, as it moved along. I then scrambled to my car
on the street and grabbed my camera within 15 seconds. I looked for the object
,could no longer see the thing. I snapped one picture anyway, to see if I
could capture the UFO on film at a distance. I have attached the picture that
was taken at 6:26pm est. There are a couple of questionable things in the
photo taken. One round dark something to the left and a white something in the
center of the photo.. Though, my eyes did witnessed something very unusual,
for about 10 seconds at the time of 6:25-6:26 pm. I also had noticed that July
3, 2008 also is a New Moon. Not sure if that means anything..I really wonder
what was it’s business up there ? Thx for your time and will leave this photo
and report with you. P.S. When I arrived into Whitby less than an hour later
[approx 7:30pm] to see my friend. Minutes before my arrival, he and a co
worker noticed the same type of round white object moving high above the
clouds, heading towards Oshawa. Now how weird is that ? Take care and we’ll
keep watching.

Gargas, Vaucluse France Triangular UFO Filmed (Pictures)
Date: July 4, 2008
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of object: Triangular.
Weather Conditions: Very clear.
Description: Very strange light formation moving very quickly came straight
towards the village. It made a sweep of the edge of village then turned, went
back in the direction it came. It then made another sweep of the edge of the
village, passing almost directly above our back garden. I have never seen
anything like this in my life. it was so big and moved so fast with very
little noise. the only noise came slightly after it passed, but not a
mechanical noise - more just something passing through the air very quickly.
On the second sweep we ran for binoculars and digital camera. My first thought
was that it was two military aircraft flying very close together. With
binoculars I realized this was false. We managed to get two photos.
There was definitely Bright white lights seen in photo, and also red lights, i
thought i also saw green lights but my partner said yellow. The red and green
lights made me feel for sure it was some kind of real aircraft, due to normal
navigation lights. But with the view through binoculars I completely ruled
this out.

Islinfton London, England U.K. Saucer Shaped UFO
Date: July 5, 2008
Time: 10:04 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round and one was flashing orange they were about 2 minutes
apart,
Weather Conditions: Clear sky at the time.
Description: I first saw a flashing orange light which was very bright and
moving from side to side, then it slowed down and got brighter before all the
lights turned off. It just drifted away and disappeared. I thought that was
hard to believe, but about two minutes after that, I looked up to the sky and
above me, lower than planes fly was a big flying saucer shaped object, it was
not moving as fast as the first object and was much lower and had no lights
showing it was a metallic color, I watched it until it just floated away.
----------
Millville, Nova Scotia A Large And Very Bright Object
Date: July 6, 2008
Time: 2:00 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Front yard.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very large bright white ball of light.
Full Description of event/sighting: This was not actually my sighting but my
friends. It took place in Millville which is just outside of north Sydney. He
simply told me he was out in his yard at 2:00am, it was a very clear night and
very dark so you could see the night sky very well. I believe he said he was
checking on his dogs and just happened to scan the sky because it was a
beautiful night after all and said he seen a very large white ball of light
flying horizontally through the sky.
He said at first he figured a plane but then as he looked more intently he
realized that this thing looked nothing like a plane, no noise, absolutely
none which he said really confused him. I guess since he doesn't really
believe in UFOs or at least until then he said he was totally amazed at how
big and bright this light actually was. Plus he said it was traveling what
looked to be slower than a commercial plane. He said he watched it until it
was out of sight then went into his house feeling kind of confused as to what
he has just seen. My friend told me that it was definitely not any type of
plane that he had ever seen. He told me he's sticking with a meteor or space
debris re-entering the atmosphere. But to me it's sounded like a UFO.

Firestone, Colorado A Bright Orange Rectangular Colored UFO
Date: July 7, 2008
Time: 11:03 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1 that separated into 3
Shape of objects: 1 rectangular and 2 orbs.
Weather Conditions: Hazy from rain evaporation, maybe 50 percent cloud
coverage.
Description: I was driving north on the I-25 Frontage road between 119 and 66.
I looked west towards the mountains and noticed a bright orange rectangular
yellow/orange (the color of fire) light out over Longmont, Colorado. I pulled
over, got out of my vehicle and watched this object for about 1 minute. It
changed shaped by smearing (for lack of better word) down to the left almost
like a water fall or molten metal. Two much smaller lights emerged of equal
size: one directly above and one directly below. The lights moved around
slowly off of center and then they re-emerged as one. The one large light then
decreased in size until it vanished completely.
TV/Radio: I called 911 in Firestone and they patched me through to the
Longmont police department. I reported what I saw and asked if anyone else had
reported something similar. The dispatcher sounded amused. She said there had
been no other reports, kind of laughed and said she would pass it along.

UFO Gives Off Electrical Charge North Of Creston, British Columbia
Date: July 8, 2008
Time: Approx: 9:30
Three witnesses were driving northbound on 3A traveling at about 90 kilometers
heading to Kootenay Bay when they saw what looked like a dark colored
disc/saucer shaped object with approx: 25 - 30 solid red lights running around
it. (when they first saw it, it was sitting in a horizontal position) The
object was just a head of them at about a 1/4 miles distance away. The craft
seemed to tilt toward the travelers and they noticed some sort of electrical
discharge coming from the lower end of the craft. They described the discharge
as lighting bolts spreading out across the sky. (short distance from the
object) It slowly moved toward the east and upward, still in a tilted
position, still giving off this strange discharge until they were only able to
see what they believed to be the flashing of the discharge due to the objects
distance away from them.
They were freaked right out. Actually a lady passenger was screaming and it
took sometime before her husband was able to calm her down. They said they
never have seen anything like it before, and never anything that might have
been something of a unknown nature.

Surrey, British Columbia Object With White Strobing Lights
Date: June 8, 2008
Time: 11:00 p.m.
I was sitting out there again tonight from about 23:00. There seemed to be
something going on as there were an unusually large number of small aircraft
flying around south of YVR at one point I counted about ten all flying at
close to the same altitude and in fairly close proximity. Usually I don't see
more then one or two and they are usually headed for Boundary Bay. At approx:
23:40 I noticed a large white strobe appear just to the south of my apartment
building. At first I thought it was a commercial airliner on approach but it
was not displaying any running lights. When I checked with the binoculars I
could just make out a pale shape against the night sky but was unable to
determine the shape. While it was broadside to me I could see it had large
white strobe at each end flashing alternately. It displayed no running lights
at all . Was flying about 1000 to 2000 feet. Approx: 300 to 400 mph. No noise
at all and close enough so I should have been able to hear it. I watched it
with the binoculars for approx:. one minute until it went behind the trees, it
was still heading towards YVR but didn't appear to be descending.
