23 Beautiful Back Alley Mural Paintings Kamloops British Columbia (23 - Pictures)

Above Photo: Just one of the amazing Back Alley Mural Paintings that is found in 

Kamloops, British Columbia.

During our visit with family in Kamloops, British Columbia, my daughter drove me to a back alley in the downtown area. I did wonder where she was taking me, but it soon became very clear as I my face lit up. All of the buildings along this back alley had beautiful murals painted on them by some very clever people. 

The back alley murals are amazing and when visiting Kamloops, B.C. make sure you take time to visit this wonderful work of art.

(From Brian Vike’s UFO Files) Posted by Brian.

Five witnesses.

 

They are back big time!

Photo Left: Click on the picture for larger view.

I only got one really good picture. I have a bunch of other shots but they are not as good. 

I saw bright flash in western sky. huge bright light. Then it zips to a southeast position. Sits there. 

I yelled for (hubby) and then for the boys who were having band practice. 

The object had by then moved to a southwest position and just sat there. 

Multiple lights flashing and appeared to be changing in shape. I will have each of them write up a separate statement. 

Photo Below Right: Click on the picture for larger view.

The object then sinks on the horizon very slowly. As if to land? 

This lasted a good total of 20 minutes as of us able to view it, and it was huge. 

Biggest I have ever seen for the distance. 

Hubby had to leave and the boys were a little shell-shocked. 

They just couldn't believe what they saw. 

I continued to watch and a Jet came in or at least it sounded like one and I grabbed my camera and keys and went to my car to pursue it. 

By the time I got down to the lake I no longer could see it or the jet. But it was huge!

I will send their statements later. They went off to a friends' house.

Back To Back Green Flashes Seen In The Sky North Of San Jose California

 

Date:  March 10, 2012

Time:  7:00 p.m.

 

We saw a very similar flash at 7:00 p.m. in the western part of the sky. We were driving North from San Jose, CA. Our batteries did not die, but there were two back to back greenish flashes that filled the sky.

 

These flashes were too big to be lightening. No other characteristics of lightening were present.

Fireball Type Object Shoots Back Upward Over New Mexico

Date: 2010 and September 17, 2011
Time: Evening.

Hi, I was writing to see if there is any explanation to this? The posting on your website " Bright Light Shoots Off Over Carvel Alberta Canada" 2006. My friend and I had witnessed the same exact thing, exactly, except we live in New Mexico and it happened in 2010.

Again September 17, 2011 the same friend and his girlfriend and her son witnessed the exact same sighting. I know this sounds cheesy, but the fireball was the size of my pinky nail held out at arm length, "a very hot and angry looking fireball" like off the movie Men in Black.

It seemed to be coming right at me and at a extremely high velocity and shot up leaving a short trail behind and out of our orbit, extremely fast speeds. This seems to be a reoccurring thing, have you found or heard what this is?

Thank You for your time.

Large Scoop Mark On British Columbia Man's Back (Pictures)

From the Vike Factor archives (Brian Vike) http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.com/

Trail, British Columbia, I had an email from a fellow who resides in Trail, British Columbia. He asked if I would like to see some photos of an unusual mark he has on his back. He added his phone number in his letter and I called the man straight away and had a nice talk with him.

Left: Click on picture to view large version.

The fellow told me when he was around 9 -12 years old a large scoop mark appeared out of nowhere at the base of his spine. The gentleman said at that young age (9 - 12) he was literally plagued with vivid dreams which were very real to him.

When the mark appeared out of nowhere on his back he was seen by a physician who told them that it looked as if "someone" had taken a chunk out of his back. The man said there was never any pain associated with it and no scaring.

The fellow explained that there is a thin layer of skin which is covering the indentation and nerves in his back. The nerves are sensitive to the touch.

 Left: Click on picture to view large version.

The scoop mark focused around a very detailed dream of hearing a strange chatter. In his vivid dream he found himself standing in front of his father's property, which is located in the Creston, B.C. Approximately 40 feet in front of him was a craft which was hovering about 6 to 10 inches off of the ground.

It was round in shape but flat on the bottom, a dull aluminum in color and had no distinguishing markings on it. He said there was a green glow (a vapor cloud) which surrounded the craft. It made no sound but he did feel an odd vibration the craft emitted. (His example was, if you took your hand and placed it on running equipment and felt the vibrations from it) He didn't find all of this disturbing at all. The fellow never saw any kind of creatures of any sort.

Also the man was in a state of paralyses and all the time hearing this strange chattering sound. He went on to say that he eventually work up laying on the floor in a pile of laundry and to find his socks were wet from what he believed was from the morning dew outside.

There were also was small twigs and a little soil laying about the floor. The fellow told me he is still wondering what actually happened that night many years ago. Also he wanted me to know that this was a one time experience.

Thank you to the person for the report and photos. More photos are being taken and will be sent along to me.

Alien Presence Severe Burns Found On Man's Back Seattle Washington (Picture)

Brian Vike's Note: On the evening of July 15, 2010 a person had a heck of a night's sleep. When he woke up the next morning, July 16, 2010 a good friend of his seen the marks on his back.

He spent a little time searching the internet looking for others who may have woken up having the same type of markings in there back, and sure enough, he found a photo and story which is all most the same as what showed up on him.

The case he referring to was the large case I worked on entitled Alien Abduction/Missing Time Case From Kelowna British Columbia. This article can be found on Sightings.com at

http://www.sightings.com/Archives/alienabductkelownaBC2003.html and the pictures the man was talking about are found in the same report, just on the second page at

http://www.sightings.com/Archives/alienabductkelownaBC2003_2.html

I did call the gentleman and we had a nice talk and he was forth coming with his experience which started a long time ago. I also have a photo that was taken of his back, showing the marks he has on his body.

Hello Brian, I have had an incident I would like to inquire about. It has happened before, but this time is a little more "severe".

I awoke this morning after a horrible night of sleep with profuse sweating. My friend freaked out and asked, what are those "burns" on my back were. I looked in the mirror and I have a matrix of dots on my back. I took the photo below.

I went to Google and searched for alien abduction body marks and a page of your site came up. There is a guy there who literally has the exact same marks (he is toward the bottom of the page with the scorched tree)http://www.sightings.com/Archives/alienabductkelownaBC2003_2.html

I am not particularly freaked out, as I have a pretty good idea of alien presence around us. I had my first very vivid (undeniable) sighting of a Gray in my room as a child.

If you have any interest or questions, please let me know. I live in the Seattle area and my number is (removed).

Thank you.

UFO Darts Back And Forth Over Oshawa Ontario

Date: July 9, 2010

Time: 1:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Oshawa Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Circle.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was out on my doorstep having a cigarette when I noticed a strange light in the sky. I dismissed it as a star, but quickly noticed there was cloud cover and this was below the clouds. I observed it for several more minutes, before I noticed the object move back and forth, up and down in one spot very quickly. There was no noise in the sky, and thinking it was anything else would have been out of the question.

The object then vanished from view almost immediately, and reappeared a moment later. I went and got my wife and we viewed it in a different spot from where I first noticed it. The behavior it exhibited continued, moving back and forth, doing circle and U shaped patterns in the sky as well as disappearing and coming back.

The colours of the light also changed from white to red as if the object had these red lights around the perimeter of the craft. We watched this for 2 hours before it disappeared from sight. We'll have our camera ready next time.
