Jellyfish Like Object Seen Over Parson British Columbia

Date: September 24 and 26, 2011

Time: 7:30 and 6:30 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Jellyfish like and round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was looking for the Elenin comet and saw a bright light moving up the horizon in the s/se direction and then it stopped about 50 degrees in the sky. I went outside and using my binoculars, I observed it for several minutes before it faded from sight with the sun rise.

It looked like a jellyfish with a white round center, opaque middle and dots around the outside ring. You could see slight movement so I thought it was the comet coming straight at me as there was no tail.

Two days later at 6:30 am I was sitting in my sunroom and noticed two bright lights. One I assume was Jupiter and the other I assumed was the comet. I went outside with my binoculars and couldn't get a good image of the object, and then it started moving!

It moved quickly across the sky and disappeared over the mountains behind me (east). It was very bright and had no flashing lights and no sound. I'm puzzled. I found out afterwards that I probably can't see Elenin from my location yet.

Jellyfish Shaped UFO Observed Over Sidney British Columbia

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

Date: September 9, 2007
Time: 9:10 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Sidney.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.

Full Description of event/sighting: I stepped outside to have a smoke and saw a bright orange ball of light heading southward directly at me. My wife came out and we watched it pass over head. I grabbed the binoculars and we both had multiple turns viewing it. My wife describes it as an "orange jellyfish" It looked like that to me too but it had a structure to the leading edge of the sphere like a crescent.

It was very bright, brilliant even. It pulsated/flickered/jiggled slightly, the color was not homogenous or static it was very much like a glowing orange jellyfish! It continued due south over Sidney at a increasing rate of speed and appeared to move south towards Victoria and then south-west and out of sight dimming from view.

I have lived by this airport here many years and neither of us has seen anything remotely like that thing. The sighting lasted about 3-4 minutes. I had time to grab a digital camera and take 4 pictures of it. Three of the pictures show the object poorly. I would expect a lot of people would have seen it if they looked skyward. It was very conspicuous. If you would like more info please let me know.

Additional Information:

Brian, thanks for the quick response to my sighting report. It was rather exciting to see this thing. About the only thing I can add is that what struck me most about the sighting is that when I viewed it in the binoculars 10 X 50 It was rather large in the field of view.

It was round, almost seemed partially transparent although the stars did not shine through it. On the edge of the "orb" facing the direction of travel was a crescent shaped object that was almost white that looked like it was "in" the orb on the front edge.

It was perfectly aligned with the direction of travel. The rest of the orb was orange and the crescent within appeared almost white like it was tinted a little bit orange from the surrounding orb.

I have tried to explain it away as a floating balloon or bag with a candle in it or something. It was moving way to fast I think to be moving with the wind, which incidentally was blowing lightly southward on that night. Also it was much to bright. I have also seen hot air balloons at night and it wasn't one of those either.

When I looked at in the binoculars I was very surprised that I was able to see anything other than a disc/dot. Whatever it was, I had a really good look at it. I cannot explain it. I watched it with the binoculars for a full minute at least. I'll never forget what it looked like. When my wife and I discussed it we estimated it to be perhaps 1500 feet up.

Perhaps the size of a very large plane. I doubt it because the focus of my binoculars showed it was fairly close. It was very difficult to estimate the size and distance. If it was at 10's of thousands of feet, like reported by someone else that night then the size of it would be absolutely enormous. It made absolutely no sound. It made no "sudden" movements other than seeming to speed up.

I do not think it went upward. It moved to the south west and gradually dimmed from view. When it passed by me at 9:10 it was only about 2 km's from the airport. If they didn't see it...they are blind, and shouldn't run an airport. It crossed right through both runway approaches. (1 final approach is right beside my house) It was very, very noticeable.

Unfortunately you will be disappointed with the pictures because they don't show anything other than the color of it. The object did not look like what the picture shows. The photos show camera movement and streak out the "dot".

The fourth didn't capture it for some reason. (I tried zooming in but couldn't find the object through the viewfinder so clicked anyways.) The sky was clear and the stars visible. I took the pictures without bracing the camera, dang it. I put the camera on landscape mode to lock the focus at infinity. Does show how bright it was though because the stars aren't visible at all in the picture. The only thing I did to the pictures was crop them a bit. I did not adjust exposure or anything else.

I put my Photoshop skills to the test and drew a picture.

Came out pretty good, it looked alot like this but more jellyfish like in the interior. The scale of the crescent within is about perfect maybe a little thinner. It is really hard to draw with Photoshop, I could probably do better with some crayons. But it does look like the object.

I might add that I am sky watcher, I practice amateur astronomy, I watch satellites, shuttles, ISS, celestial events etc. I have also been interested in UFOs all my life, but will believe it when I see one land on the lawn of the legislature. I have seen many unexplained objects, although none has even remotely piqued my interest as much as this sighting. Thank god my wife walked out to see it or she would think I'm nuts.

Thank you for sending the other report to me. Told Ya!

I'll be watching a lot more closer.

Here are the actual photos.

Hope this helps you. Keep me posted Brian, If you want to hear a report from my wife let me know. Don't know if she can add much but your welcome to ask her! Hopefully you get more reports of this peculiar orange orb. Sincerely yours.

Orange Upside Down Jellyfish Shaped Object Over Long Point Ontario

Date: July 14, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:45 p.m.

Brian Vike's Note: Witness thought it was me who was camping at Long Point and who observed the object. I was not there and the report was sent to me by another eyewitness.

Hi Brian, I was so pleased to read your post. My family was also camping at Long Point on the same day and my 10 year old son and I saw exactly the same thing. We were camping at site (removed) and my son and I had just strolled down to the beach to look at the stars. It was approximately 11:45 p.m. We were looking at a firefly high in the air when all of a sudden this strange orange light came slowly across the tree tops, about 60 yards down the beach.

It moved slowly across the top of the trees and then hovered at the edge of the tree-line for about 30 seconds. I simply couldn't figure out what this light could be, it was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was orange and somewhat oval, but not a clear oval shape. It reminded me of an upside down close up jellyfish shape.

The light seemed to ebb and flow, like an ember in a fire, but it never extinguished. It hovered at the edge of the tree-line for the whole time we stood on the beach (about 30 seconds). I was trying to shine a flashlight on it so see if I could get a better view of it. My son was getting scared at this point and wanted to leave. As we walked back up the path, the light moved backwards over the campsite. It then flew in a diagonal line upwards - moving slowly at first and then moving quickly up very high into the sky.

It was then suddenly out of sight. I knew that we had just witnessed something unexplainable. I am convinced there is no logical explanation for what we saw (if there is I would love to know what it could be). I can't think of any object that would fit that strange description, move so slowly, hover for such an extended period, and then fly up so high into the sky. I asked at the park office the next morning if anyone else had reported a strange light in the sky.

Nobody had. I wonder if they thought I was crazy! Both my son and I saw it so it was definitely not one person's optical illusion. If you are interested in sharing your experience with me further, I would love to talk to you. Thanks for your post.
