Comments by Brian Vike, one of my UFO investigators in Canada.
A jet was flying due east, most likely to Vancouver International
Airport. The sun glistened off part of the jet’s body. Following behind the
jet
on the port side, a disc followed at exactly the same speed.
— Port Alberni, Dec. 15, 2008.
When Canadians looked up, up in the sky in 2008, an unusual number weren’t
able
to identify what they were looking at as either a bird, a plane ... or
anything
else.
In all, according to Winnipeg-based Ufology Research, there were 1,004 reports
of unidentified flying objects across Canada in 2008, an increase of 26 per
cent over 2007. Reports had been filed by witnesses with government and
military agencies, police, civilian UFO groups and online UFO websites.
Vancouver Island was no exception, says Houston, B.C. based UFO researcher
Brian Vike.
There has definitely been an upswing, said Vike, a former mill worker who runs
HBCC UFO Research from his home in the B.C.'s Central Interior.
There could be a number of reasons, he continued, including more actual events
taking place, but Vike suggests a lot of it has to do with the advent of the
World Wide Web.
The Internet makes a big difference, he said. Before, people would send a
letter, but they often wouldn’t know who to contact if they saw something.
They
would keep it to themselves because they didn’t want to be laughed at.
Vike said he believes the upswing in sightings is just the tip of a very large
iceberg, because of this fear of ridicule.
I bet we only get five per cent of what has been seen, he said. Nobody wants
to talk about it for whatever reason, but I bet if I walked around Parksville
with my HBCC UFO Research jacket on, you would be surprised at how many would
say, ‘oh, I saw something last month that was really weird.
I was lying on my back as the sky darkened to look at the stars. I saw what I
thought was a satellite, as it did not blink, but appeared to be moving. As I
continued to watch, it stopped and changed direction and moved behind clouds.
As
I checked other parts of the sky I found more of these odd-moving lights at
least four at any given time.
These lights appeared to be at a high altitude, but moved quickly from time to
time ... It was then that it peeled out in an opposite direction and stopped
and zig-zagged and even appeared to be forming some type of figures with its
movement.
Parksville, May 24
Most of what Vike does is to turn UFOs into IFOs, identified flying objects.
The vast majority of strange sightings in the sky, he said, are easily
explainable.A lot of them are easy to figure out from the description, he
said. I get a time and date and the first thing I do is find out where the
International Space Station was at that time.
A lot of them will be that. A lot of them are aircraft. With some of them
though, it's impossible to tell.
Vike said the Parksville sighting falls into this category.
The lights were up really high, lots of these little lights up in the sky, he
said.
They may have been satellites if they were flying in a straight path, but
when they start stopping and start zig-zagging, that's pretty unusual. I don't
know of anything that can maneuver like that. A jet fighter can do good
maneuvers, but they still have to curve out, and some of these were very
sharp,
going straight across and then stopping and turning back on itself.
On the night of Sept. 3, 2008 I stepped out side to have a smoke, as I live in
a basement suite with my two birds. I just lit my smoke when I heard the sound
of a jet in the sky. I looked up and sure enough, there were two jets, like
air
force jets. As I watched them, I saw something that was travelling at a high
speed and not far behind them. It was round had many different coloured
flashing lights rotating around the bottom.
All of a sudden it just stopped following them and turned and went out over
the
ocean. It stopped again and the craft broke up into three separate orbs. These
orbs went around at a high rate and ... went up and down and sideways before
they rejoined again. I got scared because they didn’t look like they were so
far up any more. Just as I turned to go in and get the phone, I saw it start
to spin at an incredible rate of speed. It shot straight up and was out of
sight in ... three seconds.
Nanaimo,
Sept. 3, 2008
Although Vike said he has seen an increase in reported sightings of odd things
in the air from Vancouver Island over the past year, he said it’s not one of
the recognized hot spots for strange sightings.
I think Vancouver Island is pretty average, he said. “At times it can get a
good spike going, but I think it takes somebody to say they saw something and
contact the media and then, bang, you get a whole whack of reports coming in.
Some of these reports, he admits, are hoaxes, but after nine years of devoting
his life to his research, following an industrial accident that left him
unable
to work in the mill anymore, he has learned how to tell them apart.
If it doesn’t make sense, it ain't true, he said.
Unidentified flying objects, he stressed, are unidentified, so to suggest they
are alien space ships is most often unhelpful at best.
