Edmonton, Alberta Craft With Strobing Lights
Date: Summer of 2008 (not sure the exact date)
Time: Between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.
Something to mention, last summer I saw what I at first thought was a plane,
although I honestly do not recall seeing a body. It was flying low as though
on approach, it was slow, and honestly do not recall any sound, perhaps
because I was just so fascinated by the strobing lights. It was
early morning, between 1 am and 3 am. The odd thing about this was it had many
strobing lights on it, and what appeared like a lower platform of strobing
lights, as though suspended 5 to 10 feet below on some kind of metal
framework. I had totally forgotten about this until just recently
and was amazed when I remembered this. I was awestruck when I had seen this
"thing" and do recall wondering what the heck I was looking at. Just the fact
that I had totally forgotten about it kind of spooks me. I had watched it
travel north until it was below the horizon, maybe 20
seconds.
Do planes have strobing lights on them? These lights were very bright, a
blue/white in color, and very defined. No hallow of light emanating from them.
I would also guesstimate there were around 10 lights in total. There was no
consistent pattern to the strobing that I recall.
The object was at most 2 blocks over to the east of me, and perhaps 80 to 100
feet above the ground. As to size, by that I mean the expanse of the lights.
At arms length it was about the size of two cassette tapes stacked one on top
of the other.

Scarborough, Ontario Three Small Round Orange/Red Ball Of Light (UFO)
Date: September 2008
Time: 9:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Sky-south-easterly (Scarborough, ON Canada.)
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Small, round, orangish-reddish balls.
Full Description of event/sighting: I love to look up at the stars when
possible within city limits and thought that the reddish globe I saw was
Mars, until it started moving erratically, maybe some kind of spotlights.
After some 15 minutes or so the pattern started to change to a more
fluent and graceful type of aerial dance if you will for another 5 minutes or
so. I called someone to come and watch, because this was not spot or search
lights. Before they could get to me this small globe shot off in a easterly
direction. I watched in awe at the speed, but as if that were not enough, it
met up with two other of these same objects. They all hovered for a few
seconds, did a little up and down bouncing, then some circles and suddenly
shot up all at once at such an amazing speed and just disappeared just as
someone came to my side to bear witness, but too late to see this mesmerizing
event.

Bournville Northfield Hole Lane UK Large Orange Objects
Date: December 21, 2008
Time: Around 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Bournville/Northfield - Hole Lane.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 6
Shape of objects: Orange Circles.
Full Description of event/sighting: On 21/01/2008, I was out with my friend
walking home and I was drawn to the attention of a large orange object in the
sky. It made no noise whatsoever and was moving to slow to be any airline and
at first I thought it was a comet or meteorite, but I
realized it was moving way too slow. It was larger than any airline I'd ever
seen also. I lost sight of this UFO after about 5 minutes, then I saw 3 of the
exact same UFO's fly directly over my head, all exactly parallel to each other
and moving at exactly the same speed. They were a simple block orange colour,
with no other lights. There were then another 2 that followed about 2 minutes
later. Before this sighting I did not believe in UFO's, but I am positive what
I saw was a UFO and cannot be explained to be anything but that.
----------
Princeces Park, Chatham UK Two Orange/Red Objects
Date: December 24, 2008
Time: 10.45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Princeces Park, Chatham.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: Driving down North Dane Way, to my left I
saw a round orange/red object in the sky. Looked like a light/fire. Thought
it was a helicopter, but it stopped and hovered above the houses. I slowed
down and another one appeared. It just hung in the
sky, no noise. Drove on to pick my daughter up and told her what I had seen.
Thought it was reflection of street light, but hovered over houses, very low.
We even drove back together to see if it was there but half an hour later it
had gone.
Saw article in Medway Messenger, sounded just like what I had seen, read it
out to my husband because I had described what I saw when I got home that
night to him and two guests we had
and they didn't believe me!

Sandal, Wakefield UK 6 Orange Objects Making A Triangular Shape
Date: December 25, 2008
Time: 6:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Sandal, Wakefield.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 6
Shape of objects: Triangular.
Full Description of event/sighting: My partner and I were just having our tea
on 25th, I just happened to glance outside and saw an orange triangle, a
little bit bigger than largest star. I told my partner and we watched it glide
across sky and fade. About a minute later another one came across the same
path and faded.
----------
Kent UK A Large Orange Object
Date: December 25, 2008
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting:
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: After Christmas dinner my partner and I
went outside for a cigarette and the first thing we noticed was a rather large
and round orange light in the sky, it was moving quickly from a easterly to a
westerly direction with no noise (and no visible wing tip lights etc. which
ruled out our idea of it being an airplane or a helicopter), but then appeared
to slow and stop (we both looked at each other and agreed that it had stopped
and was a bit odd)!
We have loads of things flying over here (passenger/commercial planes from
London), helicopters, light aircraft and sometimes military aircraft fly over
here, as we're close to the river (Coastguard), Rochester Airport (light
aircraft) and Chinooks and merlins (dunno where they
come from) seem to use the river as a guide, but this was nothing like we'd
seen before (be interested to see if Rochester Airport noticed anything)!
Anyway, we came back in and had a laugh with the family that we'd just seen a
UFO. We all looked out the window in the direction it had stopped, but nothing
there.
I hadn't thought about it until my Mum phoned me up this evening and said that
there was something in the local paper about someone else seeing something
similar around here a few days earlier!

Sandal, Wakefield UK V Formation Of Deep Colored Orange Lights
Date: December 26, 2008
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Sandal, Wakefield.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: V formation of orange lights.
On 26th December 2008 at about 5:30pm, my partner was looking out of the
window and she shouted me to go and look. When I looked out there were 3 deep
orange triangles, forming a V shape. It was just to the side of my flat, at
about 100ft, maybe less. There was no sound whatsoever. I was a bit scared but
excited. We watched it for a couple of minutes & then it
seemed to change shape and the 3 triangles seemed to move up to make 1 ball
and then it faded.
We ran outside, but it had gone. We shouted my brother who lives near me. He
had also been watching it. He said it had moved over the flats and then gone
back. He could make out an outline of a black boomerang shape. Later than
night we saw another orange triangle move across, go back and fade.
----------
Chapeltown, Sheffield UK A Bright Orange/Red Ball Of Light
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 6.45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Chapeltown, Sheffield.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circle.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I were travelling home towards
Ecclesfield from Harley via Chapeltown. As we came off the hill at the bottom
of Station road/White lane, I saw what looked like a bright orange/red ball of
light travelling towards the M1. I pulled over to see
if I could hear anything like a helicopter or aeroplane but there was no
noise, my wife commented that it looked like a ball of fire and wondered if it
was an aeroplane coming down but we would have expected to hear something. We
continued on our journey over the roundabout at Chapeltown and under the
railway bridge. By which time the object had changed
direction and started travelling with us. We stopped again and my wife got out
of the car to take a picture on her phone. The object then stopped, hovered
then started moving erratically, at which point she got back in the car and we
drove away. A little up the road we noticed another vehicle had stopped and a
man was stood at the side of the road looking up where we had just seen the
object. We then pulled over again but the object had disappeared. We didn't
know who to report the sighting to, but have since heard reports of similar
sightings in Lincolnshire,
Lancashire and Renfrewshire.
----------
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan A Triangular Shaped UFO
Date: January 6, 2009
Time: 12:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Southeastern part of the sky, Saskatoon.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.
Full Description of event/sighting: I actually saw this object twice. The
other night I had the munchies, so I walked the block to 7-11 for some chips.
The minute I walked out the door of 7-11, something caught my eye. In the
southeastern part of the sky just below and on the left side
of Orion's belt I could see some lights, blue with some red intermittently
blinking. I stopped and watched it for a bit, thinking it was probably an
airplane and waited for it to fly out of sight. But
it didn't move.
I crossed the street, continuing to watch it. I could almost make out a
triangular shape, with the red blinking light running up and down one of its
three sides. However, it was cold (which creates strangely-colored lights with
stars), and my contacts are not up-to-date, which meant I
had to sort of squint to watch.
I then figured it must have been a satellite. Although it seemed fairly close
and any sort of satellite that close to Earth would have shown some movement,
right? I walked into the alleyway and stopped to stare again. No movement, but
it was blinking (twinkling) more rapidly. I stopped
again beside the apartment across the street and stared some more. It still
didn't move...which made me think it must have been a star. But what kind of
star had three sides in an equilateral triangle? With different colored
twinkles, one of them seemingly running on a line from one point to another? I
stopped again beside my apartment building and kept staring. Someone walked by
to get into the apartment and gave me the weirdest look before going in...and
why not? Here was some chick standing by the door with a bag of chips in hand,
staring intently into the sky with her mouth wide open. I decided to grab my
camera and look at it with the zoom lens.
When I got back out there and turned my camera on, my battery died then and
there. I had no more batteries. So I stood there staring a while longer before
heading back inside, wondering what the hell it was.

Bridgend, South Wales Large Unknown Craft Moves Silently Through The Sky (UFO)
Date: January 6 or 7, 2009
Time: Evening.
I live in Bridgend, South Wales, and on either Tuesday or Wednesday of last
week (6th/7th) I was out the back of my work place smoking a cigarette with a
colleague and we saw a aircraft about 400/500 yards away. We often get Police
helicopters and passenger planes flying over our shopping mall because we have
a police headquarters and large airport nearby, but we also get Chinook
helicopters flying over as well, because we are also relatively close to an
RAF base. Although after checking online I've found that the nearest base that
house the 'Chinook' is RAF
Odiham in Hampshire. Now when one of these double bladed beasts fly over or
near then you know about it, the noise is incredible and it reverberates
through your body like crazy.
On first sighting of this aircraft, that was initially what I thought it was,
the size and shape were roughly the same, but the noise was not because, well
there was no noise. It was completely silent. The craft as I said was shaped
like a 'Chinook' (our veiw of it was side on) it had three bright white lights
bathing either end of it, and then it had two red lights flashing in amongst
these three bright white lights and it was moving very slowly behind our local
Sainsburys shop.
We were very shocked to see this large craft and that it was silent, my friend
said that it must be an airplane it was just way to low for an airplane, plus
it was silent. I was so awestruck by what I was seeing I didn't even think
about using my mobile phone to film or take a picture. Which is annoying
because I am a keen follower of the UFO phenomenon, and believer of the ET
presence on our planet and of the world governments hiding the truth about
their knowledge of their ET
presence.

Essex, England UK Numerous Bright White Lights Making Unusual Maneuvers
Date: January 7, 2009
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Essex, England UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 9 - then - then - 9
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: On the night of 7th of January I was
standing in my back garden just admiring what a beautiful clear night. It was
when 9 white glowing objects glided over my house. I stood there in utter
shock and disbelief. I ran in and told my wife after seeing this. I stood in
my garden again for about half an hour later when 2 big lights caught my eye.
I called to my wife again and we watched them glide over the top of our house,
one flew straight whilst the other changed direction again and again almost
like it was having trouble. Then they
both just shot off fast then faster until we could see them no more. I know
what birds look like and I know what planes look like and this was something I
witnessed ten years ago with a friend. It is half past 9:00 and still in shock
from what I had already seen earlier. I glanced again
at the sky only to witness either the same nine, but in a different formation.
I have got to be honest, I did not look anymore that night. I had seen enough
to know I could not explain it. The next day the UK was hit by the UFO hitting
a wind turbine. I text my story to Sky News today, I got an email from Sky
News telling me my report was passed on to the appropriate authorities and
they gave me a reference for future use?
(Editor’s comments: So there are the “appropriate authoritiesö in UK, and they
even give reference numbers to. I wonder who they are. Can anyone enlighten
me?)

Edmonton, Alberta Silver/Blue/White Lights
Date: January 13, 2009
Time: 5:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Southeast.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Cannot tell.
Full Description of event/sighting: The first UFO within 2 minutes from each
other: I could not forget the first time I saw it so much so I wrote it in
Vike's website (Jan 18, 2008 sighting). This sounds crazy but it is almost 1
year ago (Jan 18, 2008) that the same type of craft appeared again.
While driving home, I saw very bright lights (blue, silvery white) at a far
distance. Because of the distance the lights were very bright and flashing
like a strobe light; it was way too bright and flashing too quickly for a
plane or helicopter esp at that distance (maybe 1-2 km away). It was moving
west to east then north east. It moved very, very quickly. I am not great at
judging speed but for an object that far away, it moved across the sky very,
very fast unlike the steady speed of
a plane. If you were not paying attention, people might think it was a plane
because of the similar lights but as mentioned, it was flashing too quickly
and too bright for a plane. This object covered a distance est 1-2 km in about
20-35 seconds.
The second UFO (2 minutes later) When I decided to take another exit because
of the slow traffic, I turned towards the west and I saw a similar object. It
was flashing very quickly but only of a silvery strobe. It was not flashing in
sync as the first object but 2 seconds of quick flashes then completely dark
for 1 second and flashing again for another 2 seconds. It moved south west but
just as quick as the first object. I could not believe what I was seeing. Two
very unusual
strobe lights crafts. This object when south and it was hard for me to guess
the distance because of the direction and my perspective but it was very fast.
Both objects disappeared from the horizon too quickly at that distance of
viewing. Ever since my first sighting in 1984 of October while on my way to
Fort McMurray, AB, (and we were 4 university students as witnesses), I will
never stop looking in the skies for these crafts. I wrote that experience
into Vike's report log many years later. All four of us even years later would
wondered what that was. I will never stop looking and hopefully in my
lifetime there will be undisputable answers that we are not alone.

Downtown Toronto, Ontario Green Glowing Sphere
Date: January 13, 2009
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Downtown Toronto, Yonge & Bloor.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: I can see from the window of my apartment
a bright light in the sky. It has a greenish glow and it has been in the sky
moving very slowly for the last 2 hours.
I can still see it and until this moment I cannot understand what it is. I saw
a few airplanes and helicopters crossing the sky and this light looks brighter
than any star, airplane or anything in the sky right now. I have taken photos
with my phone and you can see how it has been moving for the last 2 hours.

Bradford, Yorkshire UK Looked Like A Large Fireball In The Sky
Date: January 13, 2009
Time: 5:20 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Bradford.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Ball.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was watching TV in the bedroom when I
caught a glimpse, out of the corner of my eye of what appeared to be a
fireball in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane on fire. So then I ran
down stairs and told everyone in the house to come outside quick. Three of us
saw the light in the sky over Bradford, all of us ruling out certain things
the more we looked at it. The light in the sky started off way bigger than a
plane would appear in the sky and for the height it was at, but eventually
disappeared in front of our eyes.
----------
Kent, England United Kingdom A Unsettling Experience (UFO ?)
Date: January 14, 2009
Time: 3:15 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Edwin Road.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I were woken at 3:15 a.m. by a
loud humming in the sky accompanied. My wife said " What's that noise ?"
Whatever it was, it was moving over us in an east to west direction and
judging by the noise, it was low in the sky. I got up and when I looked out of
the bedroom window I saw a pale orange light disappearing over the woods to
the west of our house. I really thought, that, whatever it was, it was going
down and would crash in the woods, but it disappeared from sight. The noise
was not that of an airplane or helicopter and the object was not travelling
that fast. My guess was that it might have been an airship, but it was
certainly much lower than 1500 feet which is the height for flights over urban
areas and do
airships travel at night ? It was a very strange and unsettling experience.
----------
UFO Triangular In Shaped Over Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Date: January 16, 2009
Time: Approx: 7:30 p.m.
Tonight, same thing as on January 6, 2009. I was driving by McNally Robinson
and saw the exact same thing in the sky, in the exact same spot (albeit, about
5 hours before the previous time). Again, my logical mind insisted it was an
airplane or something, but it didn't move. Also,
that whole logical idea I had in my head about the cold causing weird colored
twinkles just doesn't vibe, since it's quite warm out right now and so I was
able to see it much more clearly. It was definitely triangular. It seemed a
bit closer than last time. The lights I thought were blue were actually
white, and I could also definitely see a red light running up and down one
side of it, blinking intermittently.
This time it did move, although it wasn't moving when I initially saw it. I
actually parked my car in a parking lot to stop and stare for a while, then I
remembered I had my camera. I reached into my purse to grab it, taking my eyes
off it for a second, and by the time I turned my camera on
and began zooming in, it began moving towards the north really fast. It
circled behind me and I lost it. So I continued driving down the alleyway and
all of a sudden it appeared in the northwest, moving quite fast towards the
RCMP airplane that was also circling overhead. I tried
to watch it, but had to keep my eyes on the road. When I glanced back up, it
was entirely gone.
I really wish I had someone with me to witness these things, because out of
everyone I try to tell, only one person doesn't think I'm crazy.
