Ice Jam On The Bulkley River Smithers British Columbia (Pictures)

Above Photo: Ice jam raise's the water in the Bulkley River at Smithers, British Columbia.

An ice jam has threaten to flood homes that are in low lying areas next to the Bulkley river in Smithers, British Columbia in the early part of January 2016. People were placed on high alert as the ice and water backed up onto peoples property.

As chunks of ice started building up on the river, this caused the water to back up, flooding some basements and property.

There were approximately 16 or so homeowners that were placed on evacuation notice if the river continued to rise. There was some flooding on some the roads.

In Spring runoff, many of these low lying areas do flood, and flooding has been seen in years past from ice jams on the Bulkley.

Also residents are being advised to stay away from the river as it is extremely dangerous.

Kamloops Lake - Thompson River – City Of Kamloops British Columbia (6 - Pictures)

Above Photo: Over looking the city of Kamloops, British Columbia.

As we travel around Kamloops, B.C. there is so much to see and never enough time to see it all. I wanted to take a few pictures of Kamloops Lake, the Thompson River and the city of Kamloops from a higher vantage point, which I did, but at dusk.

Winter Scene - Travel To Beautiful Houston British Columbia (11 - Pictures)

Above Photo: The Bulkley River filmed from the Bulkley Valley bridge.

Well another dawn arrived in Houston, B.C. with yet another heavy snowfall on the ground. Everything, I mean everything is white. So on December 13, 2015 I headed out harmed with camera, water and pop to one of my favorite places around Houston.

Knockholt for me holds a lot of good memories, my kids when younger would swim in the Bulkley River at Knockholt. Then my daughters kids did the same. They could build sandcastles with moat, ride inner tubes down the river or just splash around having a good old time. 

The scenery there never lets you down, and the beauty about this location is that you can drive right to it. From Houston heading east the distance is only a 8.6km drive along Highway 16 and make a right hand turn onto McKilligan Road, a few hundred yards down the road and you can park your vehicle and within a few steps you are sitting by the river.

Winter On The Morice River Houston British Columbia (10 - Pictures)

Above Photo: Seen from the Walcott Road outside Houston, British Columbia.

Once again we woke up to a blanket of snow on Saturday December 12, 2015. It was just gorgeous out with the new snow and we decided to take a drive out on the Morice River road outside of Houston, British Columbia.

The trees were covered in white, it was as if someone dropped blobs of white paint onto the branches of the trees. Although the sky was dark and overcast, the brilliance from the snow made for a wonderful picture.

Winter Scene - CN Railway Bridge Telkwa British Columbia (4 - Pictures/Video)

Above Photo: CN Railway bridge over the Telkwa River, 

the Telkwa River flows into the Bulkley River.

Telkwa is a wonderful small village which can be found in British Columbia. If you are planning a trip through, or to visit you would follow Highway 16 west from Prince George, B.C. for approximately 350 kilometres. Telkwa and area are rich in history and you can venture through Telkwa’s Museum for a look back in time. Also Telkwa boasts about it’s Tyhee Lake Provincial Park, and they have a right too, it is beautiful. 

Camping is available in the park and the campsites are secluded, this way you can lay back and take it easy and there is large parking lot for day visitors. Also on site are horseshoe pits and a volleyball net in case you want to get your competitive side on.

Amazing Little Man Formation And The Tranquille River In Kamloops British Columbia (9 - Pictures/Video)

Above Photo: Little Man Formation Kamloops, British Columbia.

On our visit to my families home in Kamloops, British Columbia, I was driven around to see some of the sights Kamloops has to offer travelers.

One day my son-in-law and my grandson thought it would be fun if we drove some of the back roads on the outskirts of Kamloops. As we drove along following the Tranquille River which was way, way down in a canyon my son-in-law pointed out a really awesome formation. 

The formation was located across the canyon and half way up the mountain, and there were no roads that we were able to take for a up close look at this amazing formation.

Thompson River Canyon In British Columbia (14 Pictures/Video)

Above Photo: Below is the Thompson River In British Columbia.

One thing I have always enjoyed is traveling along Highway 1 (Trans Canada Highway) through this dry climate. It is so different from here in Houston, B.C. where we are surrounded by green coniferous trees. 

In this drier area what you will see are tumbleweeds, rugged pine and mountains of rock. Also when driving the Highway, keep an eye out for sand hoodoos, as seen in some of my pictures.

The Bulkley River Around Houston British Columbia (9 Pictures/ 2 Video Clips)

Above Photo: Beaver dam down stream on the The Bulkley River.

As many might notice, the Bulkley River is one of my favorite places in and around Houston, British Columbia to be. No matter what part of the Bulkley river I visit, the beauty is breath taking. 

So today, on October 30, 2015 my wife and I made another visit to the Bulkley river as the beavers are damming up the river in a couple of different spots, and I was hoping we might get some pictures of the fury little critter, but today we certainly heard the beaver splashing around up river, but never seem it.

White Light Circling Around In The Sky Over The Hudson River Stuyvesant New York

Date:  February 18, 2015
Time:  Approximately 4:00 a.m.

White light circling over the Hudson River in the Stuyvesant, NY (USA) Noticed it around 4:00 a.m. and it is still in the sky.

It isn't making any noise, at least I don't hear any, though every now and then I do hear a faint humming, but not sure if it is connected.

Also a plane flew to the east of it, I'm not sure if they were the same altitude though. It has been 40 minutes since I noticed it and it is still just flying around in almost a pattern.

It feels like it is looking for something. This is the second time I've seen a silent white light flying in the sky in Stuyvesant.

The last time was a few years ago, but that light flew north following the river. I wonder if there are connected in a way and I wonder if water is something connected with other sightings as well.

I've heard some UFOs go into the water, not sure if this could be related since it's above the river. If I see it do something other than circle the sky (such as fly into the river) I'll be sure to report it here. I also find it weird that it is similar time as Auburn.

If anyone has had a UFO/UFOs sighting, please send me an email at sighting@telus.net or fill out the online UFO report form at http://sightings1.yolasite.com/ with details of what you saw. 

Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Ice Circle Filmed On The Old Man River Lethbridge Alberta (Pictures)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

Date: Approximately: February/March 2003
Time: Daytime when filmed.

To the best of my knowledge, these photos were taken February/March of 2003 and the location was at the Old Man River, Lethbridge, Alberta.

I could probably provide the g.p.s. coordinates if you desire.

I know someone who, on a different occasion has seen small chrome orbs above the river, upriver of this circle, but not related to this circle.

I have personally seen what would be best described as a "Nordic" very tall, albino, long hair, no recognizable facial features, void of mouth eyes nose, just a blank face and acted very strange, again, not related to this circle.

Thank you to the person for sending along the information and photos.

Two Glowing Orange Objects Seen In The Sky Over Campbell River Vancouver Island British Columbia

Date:  December 26, 2014
Time:  Evening.

Hi Brian, the glowing orange orbs were seen in Campbell River, British Columbia on December 26, 2014. I saw video footage from my sons friend.

He was on his way to our house when he saw them. Two in total. No noise, but he said they "teleported". Disappeared and reappeared.  Because this is second hand I can just say it looked and sounded from his account to be very similar to other reports you've had recently.

I have debated on submitting this because I did not see them myself, but the video was indeed one clear orange orb. With another apparently not in the frame.

Thanks.

Trail Of Electric Blue Light In The Skies Over The Skeena River Terrace British Columbia

Date:  January 1968
Time:  Early evening.

I always remember a trail of electric blue light in the skies over the Skeena River early evening at the end of January 1968. If I remember the year and month right.

We drove someone outside of Terrace to catch a ride to Vancouver. Years later about 2010 or after I read a mention of it in the province (I think ) newspaper.

In an article written by Wasserman, he referred to an incident same time and date, I saw the bright travelling light.

I've often thought about it, and have no other explanation for it, but wondered if others saw it.

Then I read that article and realized it had been witnessed by others.

Thank you for reading this.

Dark Object Seen On Photo While Filming The Northern Lights Over Peace River Alberta (Picture)

Vike Factor Note: This report and picture is from my files. Not sure if this report with picture is still on the net.

Date:  May 2003
Time: Approx: 12:30 a.m.

Hi, I'm sending you a picture I took of the northern lights sometime in May 2003.

I never noticed before this week that their was something odd in the picture, so I scanned the 2 pictures and enlarged it at the spot where the object is, and low and behold I don't know what it is.

In fact it scares me a bit because I was all alone shooting the northern lights at 12:30 a.m. while this thing was up there. I was using a tripod and a shutter cable holding the shutter open for 15 - 30 seconds.

Please email me back tell me what you think about the pictures.

If anyone has witnessed the lights/objects, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Sasquatch/Bigfoot Or Something Else Scares River Valley Explorer In Edmonton Alberta

Date:  Weekend of the 13th – 14th, 2014
Time:  Daylight sighting.

Hi my name is (name removed) I am a very avid River Valley explorer in Edmonton. I spend on average 30 hours a week hiking the ravines off trail River Valley spots and the very remote areas.

I was in Sheriff Patterson ravine, deep off the trail just quietly walking and taking pictures when I heard a loud noise in the trees on the opposite side of the ravine.

It scared me, so I crouched down to let it pass. When I crouched down it seemed to stop moving as well. That is when it really started to scare me, so I stayed very still.

I waited about a minute and then it ran through the trees very quickly and was outta sight. At first, I thought it was a deer because of its size and colour, but when it ran by it clearly was not a deer, it was larger and moved nothing like a deer, wolf , or bear.

It moved almost like a human, but a lot faster. I was then scared, absolutely shitless and briefly went to check for tracks, finding no animal paw prints, my fear reached a staggering level.

I hightailed it out of the ravine and back to my car sweating, panting trying to figure out what I had just saw. I don't know what it was, but I think it deserves further more investigation.

I went back the next day and looked for tracks again, but all I found was broken trees and trampled bush and grass. This happened last weekend and I have been bothered by it since.

I have not went back to this spot in particular, but I want to. That same day I found a den sort of shelter made of rocks piled up, not your typical shelter a human would make.

I think it's living there and it scares the crap out of me to go back, but curiosity eventually will get the best of me. I need some help with this one.

If anyone has witnessed the lights/objects, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.
