Continuing from my post on December 23, 2015 entitled “A Beautiful Place To Visit Or Make it Your Home In Hope British Columbia” and the posting of a number of wooden sculptures pictures, I wanted to add the rest of the photos I have of the wooden sculptures.

So what I have done is to place information about the Hope Slide with some of the sights I saw and filmed around Hope in early November 2015.

Beautiful Wooden Sculptures And A Great Place To Visit Hope British Columbia (13 - Pictures)


Above Photo: Beautiful wooden sculpture seen in front of the District of Hope, British Columbia.

The district of Hope is an amazing place to visit. First of all, Hope, B.C. is the gateway to pretty much all of British Columbia.

Hope has a population of approximately 6,170 residents and is located in the Cascade Mountain range, which makes for a very scenic place to visit, or a wonderful place to call home. Hope, British Columbia

On our journey around Hope in November 2015 we seen the most beautiful wooden sculptures which were carved with a chain-saw by Hope’s local artist Peter Ryan. The wooden sculptures were seen all throughout the town.

There are so many different things to see which made it hard to visit them all, but I certainly will return in 2016 to visit all that Hope has to offer.

Visitors Centre And Rotary Centennial Park Hope British Columbia (6 - Pictures)


Above Photo: Visitors Centre in Hope, British Columbia. What a great place to visit.

With all my travels through Hope on Highway 1 driving up the Fraser Canyon, I rarely stopped in Hope to take advantage of the wonderful things Hope, B.C. had to offer. 

One of the gems in Hope is their Rotary Centennial Park. It is beautiful and is a wonderful place to get out to stretch your legs, or stop for a picnic lunch. 

There are tables and benches for you to sit as you watch the mighty Fraser River flow on by. You can also view the chainsaw carvings that are located in the park, and throughout the town.

So if you are planning out a holiday and the route takes you through Hope, B.C., take the time to wander around the town as it has a lot to offer.

1861 Christ Church Historic Site Hope British Columbia (5 - Pictures)


Above Photo: Christ Church (Anglican) Historic Site Hope British Columbia.

In early November 2015 my wife, our dog Peanut and I dropped by Hope, British Columbia on our way back home to Houston, British Columbia. I wanted to check it out as I had not been into the community in years. 

Well did I get a surprise, a good one at that. As we drove around I spotted the 1861 Christ Church and a lot of large awesome wood carvings. These were great and they were on different ideas as you will see in my postings.

Because I have taken a lot of pictures in Hope, I will break the posts up into a number of them and add places of interest from around that area.

Hope has always been an excellent place to visit and to explore. I grew in Coquitlam, 
so Hope wasn’t that far away.

First up will be the 1861 Historic Christ Church in Hope, B.C.

Two Objects/Lights Flying Over Port Hope Ontario

 
Date:  N/A
Time:  Evening.
 
I live in Garden Hill and I am constantly watching for things in the sky. I go to Port Hope almost everyday. One evening when I looked up into the sky, to look for UFOs, I instantly saw two of them flying together high above Port Hope.
 
They weren't very bright and didn't do anything crazy besides move together in unison, like two stars together. I know satellites, and I know planes, these weren't either of those, and these were moving together at the same pace and were quite distinguishable.
 
I have yet to see one up close though. I look forward to the day actually. Port Hope is a hot spot. They must be monitoring the radioactivity, I also believe that. Keep your eyes open.

Large White Glowing Object Seen Over Port Hope Ontario

 
Date:  September 2011 (?)
Time:  Approx: 6:00 a.m.
 
Hi Brian, I saw your blog post regarding Port Hope and thought I would mention an incident from a few weeks back.

I was walking my dog at around 6:00 a.m. at the town park in Port Hope. It was still very dark and the skies were clear revealing many stars. I happened to look up to the north and noticed a rather large, white glowing object/orb moving southeast a steady pace.

At first I thought satellite, but it seemed too low in the atmosphere. There were absolutely no flashing lights and it never changed in any way and there was no noise what so ever. Ironically as I watched I did see a satellite pass behind it, which was much smaller, star like and more distant.

I’ve seen many satellites in my life and the larger object did not fit the bill. I watched the object for about 10 minutes until it passed to the south out of eye sight. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

Unknown Lights Flying Over Port Hope Ontario

 
Date:  June 29, 2011 and July 1, 2011
Time:  Evening.
 
These things still fly over Port Hope. I saw them 2 days ago and another on Canada day. It is not a helicopter and way to low to be a satellite. I’d doubt if it's anything from Trenton, because it's way to public, but there is an F-18 scramble base outside Picton and the U.S is pretty close.
 
A lot of these sightings seem to happen around Nuclear power and Radio active areas, This area is perfect for sightings in that way. I have never seen them do any crazy maneuvers though If it knocks out cell phones maybe it's some sort of surveillance plane.

Hovering Triangle Over Head Witness At Garden Hill Port Hope Ontario

Date: November 9, 2010
Time: Between 9:45 and 11:50 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Garden Hill "Port Hope Ontario".
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 6
Shape of Objects: Triangle.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Country Lights: As of November 9, 2010, between 9:45pm and 11:50 pm there was strange UFOs in the sky. I was coming home from a movie with my boyfriend, we were in the country side of Port Hope Ontario. We saw a round flickering light in the sky. I said " That is a very bright star". As turning onto my road, I had noticed that this was not a star. Perhaps a plane? No. I followed the light with my eyes for about 2 or 3 minutes watching it slowly hover then disappear.

I then got on my cell and called my parents down the road to come out and confirm what I was seeing. No answer though. I was now in a gully peering up the the sky with an almost triangle shaped object hovering not to far over the tree line above my car. My boyfriend and I both were speechless.

The object had no noise what so ever, It's bright glowing light was not lit up any more and all we could see was almost a disco affect of blue green and a yellow/white lights around the edge on the object. We sat there for about 5 minutes letting it hover over us. I was amazed and I tried to get on my cell phone and contact my parents to come outside again, but I was unable to make any calls.

This is strange because I’ve always been able to make calls with no issue in that area. We drove back to my house and stared out the window for about 1 hour and 45 minutes and threw that time towards the east, my mother my boyfriend and I observed 2 sets of 3 UFOs traveling in a straight line east wards. Right over Port Hope Ontario. I'm thinking to myself, could this be some sort of government experiment? Only because I know the big Trenton air base is east from my house about an hour. If any one else in the area saw anything, please let us know.

Object Filmed Over Port Hope Drive In Cobourg Ontario (Pictures)

Date: July 2010
Time: Evening.

I was at the Port Hope Drive-In in July this year when my girlfriend and I saw it. Only lasted about a minute or two. It stayed stationary for most of that time, then went slowly to the left and stopped again, then disappeared.


It was sort of far off. It almost looked like a helicopter with a spotlight, but it didn't move like one (and I couldn't see anything attached to the light).

Many reasons why it couldn't have been a helicopter. Regardless, a bunch of other people saw it too and got out of their cars to look. My girlfriend snapped these two crappy pictures with her cell phone-camera.

Large Ball Of Fire Falling From The Sky Over New Hope Pennsylvania


Date: January 18, 2010
Time: Approx: 5:40 p.m.

Location of Sighting: New Hope, PA.
Number of witnesses: two
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Large Ball of fire falling from the sky.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi Brian, My friend and I were driving South on Route 202 in New Hope on 1/18/10, around 5:40 p.m., when all of a sudden I noticed a large ball of fire falling from the sky directly in front of us. It was moving quickly and seemed to burn out before hitting the ground. At first I thought it was a plane and then I realized it was too small, but definitely too large to be a falling star.

I quickly mentioned it to my friend who said she saw it as well, but wasn't able to get the words out before I did. We couldn't believe what we had seen. A minute later we saw a smoke trail where the ball of fire had been. Was it a meteor? Please let me know if anyone figures out what this sighting was. Thanks.
