Hi, I was just reading the blog about the meteor on the 25th, my children and I seen the same thing with the lime green hues. It was beautiful. My son was terrified, he thought for sure this was a real sign of danger and took me a while to calm him. (We are located on (location removed) street off Fanshawe and we were facing east.)

Glad to know we weren't the only ones that seen the beautiful falling flash. Regards.

UFO Stops And Moves Quickly Off In The Skies Above Bothwell, Ontario


Date: September 15, 2009
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

On Sunday the 13 of September at around 10:00pm, my son and I were out on are back deck. My son noticed something in the sky doing strange movements. He showed me where it was in the sky. We watched this thing stop and stay in one place then move very fast one way, then stop and move a different way. This object was up pretty high, around 20 to 30,000 feet. It had a blinking red light and a very bright light at the back. This was unbelievable the way this thing would stop and jet across the sky in seconds. This was not a jet or any man made thing (plus I'm a jet buff). After around 2 minutes of watching this thing move around the sky, it stopped once again for a few seconds then disappeared at a angle upward.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Penetanguishene Ontario Canada Blinking Object


Date: September 11, 2009
Time: 9:45 p.m.

On Friday night (September 11, 2009 9:45), I saw a star right above a park behind my house "that star wasn’t there before", so anyways I kept watching it. It was blinking red, purple, green, blue, and white then last night (September 12, 2009) I didn’t see it in the sky, so tonight (September 13, 2009 9:57) my parents were in the hot tub and saw it in the sky again just this time it was blinking red 3 times then white once and it seemed closer but I was just hovering like a star, though there where no stars around this one because the sun was just setting.

Then we kept watching and a plane flew under it flashing the normal lights and colours so it made it weirder to see this pattern that this object was making. The plane kept moving along to the north east, than this thing took off in the same direction not fast though still just a slow hover with no sound. Then it started picking up speed coming closer towards my house northwest then turned and went north going faster than the plane now then it went behind the trees but when it was coming close I could make out an outline, it was a triangle with to red lights at the bottom and a white light at the top that would occasionally change to red also. This all happened in Penetanguishene ON Canada.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

All Becomes Silent When A Large Golden UFO Appears At Norfolk, England


Date: 1970's
Time: Daytime.

I have just read the entry on your blog (see below) and it is pretty much identical to my experience with a few exceptions. My experience also took place in the 70's and I may have been around the same age (9 or 10) (I am now nearly 40). I was playing with friends at the end of our road in Norfolk, England, when all went silent and still.

I stood facing down the road looking at a very large golden orb object. If I recall it had defined outline (a polygon). It moved slowly and low across the sky and then out of sight behind the trees. At that point the sound returned and I could hear my friends. I turned to say 'did you see that', but they just looked at me as if to say 'what are you talking about?'. I then just ran home immediately. I have never seen the UFO I saw on any pictures or read any similar experiences until now. The thing that gets me is that everything seemed to stop around me and I was transfixed. I wondered if it was deliberate or not. Did I dream it. I wish I knew when it happened but it is just a moment in my childhood.

I am not sure if you want sightings from England, but I just had to write after reading the entry. Many thanks.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Parkend Gloscestshire England UK Bright Orange Lights


Date: September 4, 2009
Time: Approx: 10:05

Hi Brian, I have notice all these sightings of bright orange lights over the UK that have been spotted. Here is what we saw on the 4-09-2009 at approximately 22.05 hours me my wife and our neighbour witnessed the event- the night sky was completely clear and little to no breeze when I notice a flying object bright orange in colour and sphere shaped come from behind the tree line from behind the tree line (I was standing in are back garden) my neighbour came rushing out of her house as she had noticed it from her window.

I quickly called my wife and grab the video camera when a second object appeared following the exact flight path as the first the were travelling at quite some speed and making no sound what so ever. I have got some HD footage of the objects and hope some one can shed some light on what these are please find attached. One other point is that our local paper had printed a article on what sounds like the same objects just 2 weeks previous but no explanation has been given for the event in which several people In 2 different locations reported seeing the objects. I look forward to your response.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

UFO - Triangular Lights Stationary West Of Bowen Island British Columbia Canada


Date: A few years back ?
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Hi Brian, I happened to have read your piece for May 16, 2009 and have been previously unaware of your research.

This may be of interest. (Reported to Brian vike on September 5, 2009)

A few years back, there were a few triangular lights (3 arranged in a triangle) "parked" over some islands just west of Bowen Island B.C. It was around 10:00 on a Friday evening. We were observing them with a telescope as my friends' house is on the west side of Bowen and they regularly look at ships with their living room tripod/telescope.

We first heard what we thought were gun shots and thought nothing of it. (I later realized when watching a space shuttle land in Florida and heard it breaking the sound barrier, that the "gunshots" I heard were exactly like the sound the shuttle made).

Anyway we saw these triangular lights and there was a reflection in the water about 100 feet below. There were a few red lights moving about in the background. At first I figured it was the light of the top of a mast of a ship, but there was no shadow of a ship and the bow would have had to be facing directly at us. They were distinctly triangular in shape.

These lights were present for about an hour. The islands were they were located are small and uninhabited with no roads. At one point, while looking through the telescope, the light flashed very brightly and I had to back off the telescope. Perhaps the reflection of the telescope lens was "noticed" as the house was otherwise dark on a forested slope along the cliffs of Bowen Island. That was a little scary and gave me goose bumps.

Since reading your article, I have never otherwise read of any reported "triangular lights".

The next day I spoke with the air traffic control of Vancouver Int'l airport, and they told me that they occasionally get "ghost blips", something on radar that shows up, then disappears. I also spoke with the Canadian Naval Station in Esquimalt and they said there were no maneuvers in the area at that time.

Thought this may be of interest to you, for what it's worth. Regards.

Woodbridge, Ontario Light From UFO Seen Through The Clouds


Date: August 30, 2009
Time: Evening.

I'm a resident of Woodbridge Ontario and I just had my first UFO sighting of my life. I am 100% sure of what I saw tonight.

I was walking with two of my friends behind a dark shopping complex around midnight tonight (partly cloudy). In the corner of my eye I noticed a small flash coming from the sky. When I looked up I saw two white lights, not bright by any means, but I could see them quite well. I noticed them moving very fast and moving closer together and then further apart almost like it was turning on an angle. It then moved above the clouds (I could still see the lights through the cloud) and then disappeared.

As I was looking closer before it disappeared I noticed that the UFO was in the shape of a boomerang. I asked my friends to stop so we could sit on a bench because I was totally dumbfounded by what I had saw.

About 15 minutes later as we were sitting I look at a different part of the sky and notice the same two lights but a lot brighter this time and moving very fast, it swooped down from out of the sky and then flew upwards immediately up into the clouds again and disappeared.

Then walking home I noticed a random flash coming from a cloud above me, like someone taking a picture from the sky.

This whole experience is very surreal and I don't know what to think. Sitting here feeling pretty uneasy right now.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Pilots Watch A Deep Orange Glow Rising From The Lake (UFO)


Date: Late Summer of 1989

Hi Brian: We have emailed a few times back and forth and I want you to know where I am coming from. My name is (name removed), I am 42 years old now. Ever since I was a young child, before I knew anything about this, I had dreams of what I thought were skeletons coming through my basement and meeting me. Now I have a older brother (9 or 10 yrs older) and had an experience as a child. He was 15 or 16 and he asked me to spend the night in his new room in the basement. All I can remember is how apprehensive I was and only lasted a couple of hours. The feeling of the "skeleton" creatures coming for me were very much real. Fast forward now a few years, and well the vivid dreams I had were not skeletons but, well small entities with big dark eyes or areas were eyes should be. Now to put all this into perspective, My educational background is that of a law enforcement. I have a solid education in investigation techniques, evidence collection and interviewing.

My other area is aviation. I currently have over 2000 hours as pilot in command with extra courses in meteorology. I know what the difference is between anomalous lights and standard aircraft placement.

Now for my latest recollection, It was in the late summer of 1989, I was pilot in command of a Piper Navajo. We departed for a parts run from Hamilton to Val Dor Quebec. We were chartered by Domtar for some paper mill parts. It was not that late as I remember landing and grabbing a coffee before we departed back for Hamilton. We were cruising at 13 K feet back to Hamilton and were just approaching Lake Simcoe when my co-pilot said" have a look down below" What we both saw was a deep orange glow rising from the lake, getting more distinct and disk shaped as it was rising. With in a few seconds, it was at our level, again 13K feet, and it shot straight up.

Now on the radio, Toronto Centre, there was chatter about this object shooting straight up from an Air Ontario Dehavilland inbound from Ottawa.

Brian, It was as clear and prominent as the nose on your face. I called into YYZ centre and was told if I want to make a report to do so, if not, they were sure some one else would. Unfortunately, I did not file the Transport Canada paper work and I regret that to this day.

Now you have my report! All the best and keep well!

Thank you to the gentleman for an excellent report, and for his friendship.

UFO Over Loring AFB Has Serviceman Debriefed Over Incident


Brian Vike, The Vike Factor : I have removed names in this report as not to identify the folks who are talked about in the below report. I have replaced the real names with a fictitious ones. The folks could not be reached to seek permission to post their names. Also Brian Vike would love to hear from any serviceman or Loring AFB personal/families who have knowledge about the sighting. I can be reached at: v_factor_paranormal@live.com or through my website at: http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.com/

Hi, Hope this finds you well. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, it is Football season and my son plays for (removed) so my wife and I "tramp around the northeast" this time of year!

Well a little background. My dad was Chief of the FAA office in Presque Isle. All the guys there were electronic techs and were responsible for navigational aids and some other equipment such as teletype machines at NOAA and Loring AFB. The nav-aids included the Presque Isle instrument landing system, PQI VOR and TACAN which were (and still are ) located in the middle of a potato field in Washburn, Me. This VOR equipment is considered one of the most important nav-aids in the States because it is the first or last an aircraft uses. Loring aircraft and any other military aircraft use the TACAN and it too is the first or last site in the USA. Ok now the boring is out!

I had a good friend from Boy Scouts whose father was the structures fire chief at Loring. They lived outside of PQI near Quoggy Joe State Park. Our families did a lot together outside of scouts, snowmobiling, camping, and family get together. That October, our troop had a Court of Honor which included a Pot Luck dinner. Rick's father Dale, didn't show up and his mom was very worried. That next weekend the Riley's were over and Dale told us about the sighting.

Seems that calls came in from some of the families on the base. They also saw the lights moving around the base. The base sent out an engine after the first calls came in from the base housing area claiming that lights were seen threw the trees as well as in the air. Dale said that, and I can't remember who, one of the higher ranking officers requested the engine to check out the housing area, and he assumed that it was because of a possible light plane or helicopter crash. After cruising the housing area they saw the lights towards the flight line and they headed in that direction. After reaching the gate to the flight line Dale said that they could see a red light over the area where the Nuclear storage site was located. The light stayed there for a time while the radios were going "nuts". After a short time (minutes) the light flew off only to return again before disappearing.

The Pentagon closed the base down, not letting anyone on or off, and cut off all non approved communications. In fact, before Dale got home, Rick called me and told us that they were afraid the war was "just around the corner", remember that Loring was a "Dew line" base or first strike .

Dale was allowed off base the next day, late in the afternoon after being debriefed by Air Force personnel. He was not on base the second night, but of course found out about it when he returned later in the week. A few days after this happened he was ordered to report for another debriefing. This time they were "suits". His words not mine. I didn't learn about the "men in black" until years later.

Now Dale retired and moved to Alaska, where they transferred from. Rick is now a minister somewhere in the middle America area, I've lost track of him while in the service.

What I find interesting is that the year before there was another series of sightings in the area. I have come to understand that Loring was visited then too, this from Dale. In December of 74, my next door neighbor and I were out snow sledding one night and observed a strange light passing over the town.

Thank you to the person for relating this interesting report.

Bigfoot Family Jacobs Creek, Pennsylvania


Date: N/A
Time: Early afternoon.

Location of Sighting: Jacobs Creek, Pa.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Human shaped-hairy.

Full Description of event/sighting: Brian, lost your e-mail, please contact me. I had no idea you also had a place here for Bigfoot sightings! I've also seen "Bigfoot" and his family a number of years ago. I'm 42 now and I was about 12 then, with my two older brothers (14yrs.and 18). We were swimming in the Yough River just across from our home around 2:00pm in the summer. The whole river was no higher than maybe up to my waist and remember I was about 12, so it was pretty shallow. Long story short, I'm in the water with one brother, our oldest brother was just a little bit away on the shore. We were looking downstream and saw a huge hairy creature, maybe 7-7.5 feet tall and one a tad bit smaller and two small ones, maybe my size. The big one picked up this huge boulder out of the water and lifted over his head, with arms stretched as far as they could be.

He threw it to the smaller one, the smaller one seemed to be listening to the biggest one because it dropped it into the water as if told to do so. Mind you, we've been watching them for about 10-15 minutes. They all noticed us at the same time, so I know they communicate with each other. Then all four of them very, very, slowly went down in the water! Being a 12 year old I thought they were coming up stream to get us! We got out of the water so fast and ran across the street to home. We didn't know anything about "Bigfoot" back then, or we could've possibly got footprints from the shore, or watched to see where they went and got pictures. We just knew we saw some kind of hairy creatures and didn't want any part of that river again.

Thank you to the witness for the fascinating report.

UFO - York County Pennsylvania Unusual Lights Turned In Unison To A Horizontal Position


Date: September 24, 2009
Time: Approx: 8:30 p.m.

Hi, I don't know what we saw tonight, but I am very much in shock! It was about 8:30 pm York PA. My daughter saw bright lights out the living room window and went to
the door. She called me saying "what is that?!" No sound at all.

When I went to the front door, there were two lights in a vertical position with space between them, but not a lot. Considering the distance in the sky, I would estimate maybe the length of a tractor trailer, but to the eye in looked much closer.

Then the lights turned in unison to a horizontal position, while in the same spot in the air. It was not moving, it was hovering.

I told my daughter to grab the video camera. By the time she got outside the lights were in the horizontal position and my son grabbed the phone for me to call my parents who live down the street. I told
them to go outside and look up. They went out and they both saw it too. The exact same thing we were seeing.

The lights began moving apart as if whatever was between them was getting bigger, growing. It was still hovering and turned so that one light was pointed south and the other was pointed north. They kept spreading out (or getting bigger) and very slowly moved south. Then one light was no longer visible and then the other was no longer
visible.

No sound the entire time it was there. We have the lights on video. All that is visible is the lights unless some sort of enhancement can be done to reveal more of what we could
not see. That is the entire event as it happened. I did call the news station and they said they would call if they were interested in seeing the video.

Naugatuck, Connecticut Bigfoot Or Something Else ?


Date: June 3, 2008
Time: 1:30 or 2:00 a.m.

Message: I don't want to sound fanatic and hopefully there is a good explanation to all this. I live in Connecticut and not sure what I heard last night at approx. 1:30 a.m. The backyard of my home faces the woods. My backyard is several yards from a sharp ravine that slopes down to into the woods and to a stream. Not too far from the stream is a reservoir located in a wooded area. With my window open last night, I heard what was like a whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop sound coming from the woods in the back of my house. At the same time, I heard a loud pitch screeching noise more near my house that nearly shook me out of bed. It seemed liked the screeching sound was closer to my home than the whooping sound. I know the woods could house many wild animals due to the stream in the back.

I haven't got the foggiest clue what I'm hearing back there. Another time, my husband and I heard sounds in the wee hours of the morning what sounded like sounds coming from a jungle (almost like a large bird). But it seemed like there were two of these things communicating with each other. Do you think these are animals instead of birds. I don't know of any birds awake at 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning. Thanks for your help.

Additional Information:

Thank you for your response. My county is Naugatuck. The woods is adjacent to our stretch of homes in the back of our park. Unfortunately, I didn't have a recorder handy, but neither was I expecting this type of event. I asked my neighbor if she heard anything last night (June 3, 2008) but she heard nothing. She did say at times she hears strange animal noises but not to this liking. I would like to explore the ravine for footprints, but it's so steep and dangerous. Do you think a large animal similar to Bigfoot could be present in the area? It's kind of strange, but the whooping sound almost sounded mechanical instead of humanlike. I know we have a water treatment plant in back of the stream, but I don't think the sound came from the plant. I will keep a tape recorder handily just in case another sound pops up.

Also, just another piece of information, a couple of weeks ago, I heard some strange noises (between a clicking and cawing, different sound, but hard to explain) coming from woods in my backyard. This happened same time around 1:30 -2:00 a.m. It sounded like these two 'things' were calling out to each other from a distance. I really didn't pay much attention to these noises, but since last night's episode, I'm rather curious now. Hope I'm not alone hearing these things. Please let me know. Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

One Famlies Ghost Encounters


Hi Brian, We have a couple of ghost stories amongst my family members and my husband and I.

1. When my Mother was a child, her my Grandmother used to chastize her for throwing a ball up and down the stairs leading to the second floor of the house. My Mother wouldn't stop it, and she stood at the top of the stairs and let the ball drop so it would bounce down the steps. My Grandmother appeared at the foot of the stairs before the ball arrived and all of a sudden it bounced back up the stairs to my Mother. My Mother was a mere child, I wasn't even thought of then, but it freaked her out so much that she told my Sister and I this story when we were youngsters.

2. Another story that my Mother told my Sister and I, took place when our Mother was but a child. She was with her Grandmother and Grandfather, my Great Grandparents and all of a sudden they all heard the wolves outside. my Great Grandmother opened the door and threw out some salted pork. . . the howling eventually stopped, this was in winter. . . it was later in the night when suddenly there was a knock at the door and it was a man who was begging for a drink of water. My Mother has often wondered if that man was somehow responsible for the howling that had taken place earlier in the evening.

3. My Mother-in-Law died and she has been talking to us via our coffee makers ever since her ashes arrived in our home. We have gone through many coffee makers and have found no other excuse other than they are being used for some unknown soul to communicate with us. I know it sounds weird, but every coffee maker would make buzz noises long after the brewing was done and we'd say, "hi mom!" and the buzzing would continue for awhile. Some coffee makers were not even plugged in and would turn themselves on. My husband and I witnessed that...spookey eh?

4. In one of the houses we lived in, I was in the basement where the laundry machines were and I was reaching for an ashtray when all of a sudden it slide across the counter and to my hand. There was no condensation...wetness under the ashtray, nor was the counter on a slope. Lightbulbs were always bursting in that house too.

5. We have moved from the above mentioned house and I'm un aware of any ghost visits, our new coffee maker will at times flood the counter with coffee when there's no known excuse for it not to fill the caraffe instead...between my husband and I, we can't figure out what we have done to cause the flood, it's really irritating, also this new coffee maker doesn't buzz at all, it just makes messes. hehehe.

BOOOOOOOOO!

Thank you to the person for their ghost stories.

UFO Over Niagara


Date: July 1, 2009
Time: Evening.

July 1st night, craft with two burning bright orange plasma balls crossed the City of Niagara falls diagonally from Southwest to Northeast at a couple of thousand feet. The craft made no noise and was shaped like a pollywog with eyes, that were the orange balls of fire. The craft would travel in a straight line, then go sideways at 90 degrees then straight again. It would also stop, then accelerate to perhaps 600 or 700 mph within several seconds. From the rear you could see two rectangular panels of light on either side of the belly of the craft, that ran 2/3 the length of the craft. As it got further away, there were no visible lights from the rear. It looked similar to a pollywog, but with the head tapering straight back on either side of the tail.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Ghostly Presence Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia


Hi Brian. Seems like Halloween will quickly be upon us. I don't know if you are planning to invite people to write into you re. any ghostly or unusual happenings again this year but a few days ago I recalled an incident which happened to me back in the mid 70's I believe either the summer of 75 or 76. I thought I'd sent it to you a few years back but don't see it listed. I know I did sent it to the late Graham Conway and he was kind of interested but that was all that came of it.

Summer 1975 or 76, approx: 4:05 a.m.

At the time I was working as the security supervisor on the graveyard shift in Pacific Center Mall located in downtown Vancouver, BC. We used to rotate positions each hour. I had just been relieved at the security desk at 4 am and headed out into the mall. At that time of the night the mall was usually deserted so as I passed Holt Renfrew I stopped to admire a jacket which they had on display. The price appeared to be $40. So I had been contemplating coming back on payday and purchasing it.

I had only been there for a few moments when a little man came walking out from behind a rack of clothes. He was short, probably less than 5 ft. had reddish hair with sideburns and was wearing a green boller hat and a long green coat with tails and looked for all the world like one of Walt Disney's Leprechauns. At almost the same time as I saw him, he happened to glance my way and looked visibly startled to see me. We stared at each other for a moment and then as I grabbed for my radio he grinned at me and with a little wave of his hand disappeared behind another rack of clothes in front of me, to my left.

I quickly radioed the desk that we had an intruder and to get the police. Within in minutes we had four officers and a dog. I told them what I'd seen and then took them to the back of the store to let them in. I had the guard on the desk report to the Alarm Company that we were entering and then I shut of all the alarm systems. As the officers and I entered the store we couldn't help but notice all the alarm detectors and we all were wondering how anyone could be moving around without triggering them. I took them to where I'd seen the little man and the dog was let loose. It only took a few moments for the dog to check out the store with negative results.

While the dog was running around I took a closer look at the coat of my desires. Turned out the price tag had been partially obscured by a fold in the coat and it was $400., not $40. So much for that dream. I let the officers out the rear door and then reset all the alarms and met them back in the mall. They were all shaking their heads and looking at me kind of sideways. I walked them back to the main entrance to the mall and saw them on their way and then after speaking to the guard on the desk returned into the mall. Once again I paused in front of Holt Renfrew and once again the same little man appeared from behind the clothes rack where I'd last seen him.

Again he stopped for a moment and gave me a sly grin and then raised his hand and gave me the famous one fingered salute and then stepped behind the same rack where I'd first seen him. Once again I radioed for the police. The same four officers showed up with the dog and once more we went through the procedure and once more the dog searched the store with no results. By this time even the dog seemed to be looking at me sideways. Once again the officers were looking at me and shaking their heads. I assured them I was not sleepy and had not been hallucinating but they were still shaking their heads as they walked back to their cars. Thank God I did not ever see the little man again while I was working that location.
Thank you to the witness for the interesting story.

Sasquatch Tracks Found At Chilliwack By The Lake


Sighting took place on the July 25, 2009 weekend.

Hi there, I have read some of your notes and find them very interesting, especially now. A few of my friends just came back from Chilliwack by the lake and had spotted what appears to be the footprints of Sasquatch, as well as having quite a trying time all night. Apparently there were approximately 4 of them, they were loud (making rustling noises and walking through the campsite) and at one point, when trying to get outside, one brushed across one of them that were still in the tent.

This is amazing to me and although the picture is not very clear and I was not there myself in person. My friend does have a couple pictures on his cell-phone of the footprint. Also something else strange happened and they are thinking that maybe it was this animal, as it was that all over the campsite. (where there was nobody else) They kept finding sticks piled up in kind of like a hut or teepee and they weren't there when they got there and there was a huge bolder placed near the tent this morning.What could that mean?

UFO Over Phuket Thailand


Date: 1997
Time: Evening.

Hi, I wanted to report that in 1997 I think I saw the UFO in Thailand as well while I was in Phuket.

Just now, I was watching the documentary on Discovery Science about the 1997 Phoenix UFO sightings, and what was weird about it was the date. Because when I saw that UFO in Phuket, it was in 1997 as well. I remember the year and approximate date because it was on my first visit to Thailand, but I forgot the exact date. I never forgot seeing that UFO in Thailand, but I never talked about it with anyone or reported it. But, because of this program, and especially the date, March 1997, I know it was the same lights that I saw around that date. After doing a search online, I saw that someone else saw those lights as well around March 9 1997 in Krabi, which is probably the same day I saw them and close to Phuket.

What I saw that night were 6 or 7 lights that moved in a way I couldn't explain. At first I thought they were light flares, but when they started moving up and sideways, I knew it couldn't be light flares, and it also looked like they were moving separate from each other. Maybe some disappeared behind the clouds, while others didn't. But after a while they all disappeared while moving upwards.

I am positive I saw a UFO, because a UFO is an unidentified flying object, and those lights were something that looked like, and were flying like, something I couldn't explain...

Hope this helps.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Kingholm Quay, Dumfries, Scotland, UK Green UFO Circling In The Sky


Date: September 25, 2009
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Hello, I live in a village, consisting of just houses and a restaurant, in Kingholm Quay, Dumfries, Scotland, UK. And I stepped outside about 9.30ish and looked up and I definitely saw a green light circling in the sky. The circling was not always consistent, circular motioning varied. I kept disbelieving it and thought it must be a reflection of something or someone with a green light pointing to the sky. But then it would have to be a very powerful light and it was behind the clouds. I don't know how long it lasted as I didn't stay outside for long. So you tell me what that could have been but it was strange.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

London Ontario A Large Fiery Object - Meteor


Date: September 25, 2009
Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.

Hi there, I found your email in a response to a post someone had made about a green meteor sighting in London Ontario.

Tonight around 9:00 p.m. I was walking east on Dundas street at Wellington and stopped in the middle of the road as I saw this very large whitish fiery light coming straight down towards the earth. I put my hand to my mouth and said "oh my god, oh my God". The light came towards the Earth very fast and I thought it was going to smash into a building. It had a large tail and sort of burst into a white flash before it would have hit the building. It appeared to be right over top of this building and had a tail that was very different than a shooting star. It was really surreal and everyone I asked about seeing it just gave me a weird look. I haven't seen any news updates on this yet but hope that other people saw this and I find out what it was.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

UFO - Clovis, New Mexico UFO Ex Air Force Serviceman Talks About What He Knew

Date: January 1976

My next door neighbor and I also had some involvement with the Clovis UFO. I also knew Steve Muscato, the photographer who took the original picture for the local newspaper. His photo is of the stationary object that hung directly over Clovis for several days. I believe it occurred over quite a few days. There was one stationary light, in addition to other moving objects that many people saw. Plus, there was a photo in the paper of a mystery object found in a field. At the time, I was 14 years old. My next door neighbor Bob was an Air Force electronics technician who was an amateur ham radio operator and amateur astronomer. He and I spent a night on the top floor of the Hotel Clovis observing the UFO hanging in the sky. He used some sort of equipment to determine how high in the sky the stationary object was.

He excitedly reported that in his judgment the object was approximately 300 miles above the Earth. I also took some photos, but I no longer have them. Bob was told to shut up by the base and quit "exciting the locals with wild stories." Bob didn't tell me about this, but his wife later related the story of the phone call he got from his boss, to my mother. I also heard stories of guys coming from "Project Blue Book" to investigate, but my Dad, an Air Force master sergeant, said that was ridiculous because Project Blue Book didn't exist. As an adult, I served a number of years in the Air Force and my job put me in contact with virtually every plane in the U.S. and NATO inventory. Some have claimed that the UFOs were British harrier jets.

Absolutely not so. I grew up around jets my whole life and could identify them even as a child. Neither were they weather balloons. I would have to research, but I'm not sure the harriers were even operational at that time. In all reality, one has to try very hard in order to mistake a jet fighter for anything else. The whole thing was very interesting, and ended as mysteriously as it started. There was no real closure. But if you recall, Clovis was part of a rather massive UFO "scare" that occurred for a few years nationwide, beginning with the incident at Pasagoula, Miss, I think a couple of years earlier. It was a busy time for UFO activity.

You can contact me at (private contact information removed) if you like.

Thank you to Jonathan for his report, and also thank you to this gentleman for taking the time to have a long telephone conversation over this event and other things.

Family Ghost Story From The 1940s Onward - British Columbia, Canada


Hi Brian, I will send you a separate email so you know who this story is coming from. I noticed your category for ghost stories and thought I'd add a bit to your collection. However please be forewarned, it is not dramatic. No chains or moaning! More like just an unusual family member.

My family has always had ghosts. As a young boy living in Vancouver and Alert Bay my father sometimes saw people who were not there and my mother once watched a group of people disappear right in front of her. She was 15 years old and walking down a street near her home in Vancouver. Coming towards her on the sidewalk but on the next block, was a group of about a dozen people. The first thing she noticed was their odd clothing, very old fashioned. She then realized that although they appeared to be talking and laughing there was no sound of voices or of feet on the sidewalk. They reached the corner of their block and turned down the side street just before my mother reached the end of her block. She looked around the corner and although they should have been just a short distance away there was no sign of them. For people who live in Vancouver this was in the Kits area around 4th and happened about 1930.

When my parents married in Prince George in 1942 they built a house near the south side of Connought Hill. In those days that was quite far out of town and very quiet, particularly at night. During the winter of 1943 the ghost arrived.

It announced its arrival by walking up the steps to the front door shortly after my parents went to bed. They could hear the footsteps squeaking in the dry snow as it came up the stairs right outside the bedroom window. No matter how quickly they jumped out of bed and looked out the window they saw nothing unusual. However within 10 minutes of going back to bed a hazy white light about four feet tall would drift past the bedroom door. It never seemed to do any harm and they eventually got used to it. In the summer they never heard it arrive but one of them would notice it go by and calmly comment that the ghost was back. Mom used to wish there was some way of getting it to do housework if it was going to be wandering around all night!

Three years later we moved to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and dad built another house that we lived in for 12 years. Sure enough, before long the ghost was again drifting through the hallways. Then for several years it was gone until one night I awoke to see it float past my bedroom door. The next morning my mom was a bit excited. Before I could say anything about the ghost she said "Guess what? The ghost is back and this time I saw it take a shape!" She had woken up to see a white hand and arm reaching towards the bedside lamp. Thinking it was my dad she reached out and turned on the light. Of course there was no one there and my dad was deep asleep.

We then moved to Victoria and this time we rented a house instead of building one. It took the ghost about six months to join us. Over the years my parents rented four more houses before buying the one I live in now. Yes, the ghost went with us to every one of them. It was never more than just a white haze until the late 1960's. Then it took on a very familiar shape. One afternoon my parents were sitting in the living room when Timmy, our Border Collie, walked through the room and down a hallway toward the bedrooms. As he went by he gave them a rather unusual look. A few minutes later they heard him barking. He was outside and wanted in. He never had been in the house and walking through the room.

No, there were no open windows or doors. My parents checked! The ghost was changing and not always for the better! A few months later my parents were again in the living room when they heard a loud crash in the kitchen. They found that a big bottle of wood stain that was normally at the back of one of the upper kitchen cabinets had somehow come out of the cupboard (the door was still closed) the lid removed and placed on the counter and the bottle thrown against the opposite wall. However, as that was the worst damage that it ever did, we all just accepted that it was there and pretty well ignored it.

Just as an aside, around this time my parents saw two people disappear on the sidewalk outside the house. One afternoon they happened to notice four people walking along the sidewalk, two women in front and two men very close behind them. They were dressed in oddly old fashioned clothes and were bunched so close together that mom and dad thought the men would be stepping on the ladies dresses. For a very brief moment they were out of sight as a tree blocked part of the view from the house. All four went behind the tree and only the two women came out. The tree was near the house, nowhere near the people. The women did not appear to notice the men were gone. There was nowhere the men could have gone and dad even went outside to look. Nothing.

Many years later my younger brother was visiting our house with his wife and baby. I was married no longer living there. They were staying in the bedroom across the hall from my parents. During the night my mother suddenly awoke. A few minutes later the baby started to scream. Just as my brother got up in the dark to see to the baby, a basketball sized ball of light shot down the hallway. Immediately the baby stopped crying. Everyone was so startled they all got up and went into the living room. There, even with the lights on, they saw a couple of smaller balls of light bouncing near the ceiling in the corner of the room. It was very brief and then they were gone.

As the years went by the appearance changed. My mom died and dad still lives with us in the house. He and I have both seen a new shape. This one is shaped like a very narrow black hockey stick (not my idea of a ghost at all!) and darts around very quickly. I saw it first on Christmas Eve in 1992 but never mentioned it. A few days later my dad told of an odd black shape he'd seen darting through the house. the description matched exactly what I had seen. Other than changing size from tall to very short it doesn't really do very much except run around.

As I said at the beginning, our ghost is not dramatic, thank goodness! I would not be surprised if lots of people have similar "beings" but don't even really notice. However there were some rather strange, unsettling and dramatic events that took place during this time. One ghost (or angel?) even saved my life. Right now is not the time to go into it all but if you'd like I'd be happy to give you the details at a later date. Closer to Halloween perhaps! Now, in spite of the fact that I say the ghost didn't really frighten us, it is getting late, I am home alone and there is no light in the house except from the computer screen. I think I'd best stop for now before I start to hear strange noises ! I'm not quite as brave as I like to think I am.

Thank you to the person for the wonderful Ghost experiences.

Laceby North East Lincolnshire England A Bright Glow Of Orange And Red Light


Date: September 26, 2009
Time: 7:55 p.m.

I got your e-mail and name off an earlier piece of news regarding a sighting in Grimsby. I had to tell someone in authority of the sighting that me and my wife and granddaughter experienced this evening. At exactly 1955 hrs we were all sitting in our conservatory, when I noticed a bright glow of orange and red light through the Connie roof . Within seconds, all three of us were outside and witnessing an object (although too dark to make out any shape or features) carrying this very bright orange/red light and travelling in an easterly direction in a perfectly straight line. It was travelling at about the speed of a helicopter, but there was no sound at all, not any rotor noise or engine noise.

I would say that it was at an altitude of approximately 600 feet. I am a very sensible kind of person, but I do know what aircraft we get in this area from police and coastguard helicopters to flights to and from Humberside airport and I can safely say that this was certainly something worth investigating. As I watched it, from directly below I was able to watch it for several minutes until it disappeared out of sight, but I did note it's direction. I used Google earth to plot it's course, assuming that if it stayed in a straight line then it would cross the coast near Saltfleet and after passing over the North Sea would cross the coast near Amsterdam. Your comments on this matter would be very much appreciated. Yours faithfully.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Adak Island, Alaska UFO Hovers (Letter And Envelope)



Location Information: Adak is an island midway along the Aleutian Island chain southwest of mainland Alaska at 177 degrees west. At 52 degrees north it is not exactly arctic, nor is it temperate, but it is nearly always buffeted by cold, wet winds.

Most of the wind is generated by an endless series of cyclonic storms. The weather report for aviators almost never varies: Winds 25-40 gusting to 60, mostly cloudy with layers at 800 feet, 1200 feet, 2000 feet.

Visibility 7 miles, rain. Temp 40 degrees F (plus or minus 5 degrees for most of the year). It is bounded on the east and the west by volcanoes.

To the west is Kanaga Volcano, a beautiful perfect cone, and to the east by Great Sitkin, which nearly always is at least smoking and erupted in the early 1970's.

Map of Adak Island below:


Brian Vike had a nice telephone conversation with an ex-serviceman by the name of Art.

Art was stationed on Adak Island Aleutian Islands and was part of the crash crew for the fire department.

One late night in January 1976 at the airport, the control tower personnel rang the crash crew and told the members that an aircraft was going to be landing.

The crash crew members jumped up and peered out the window and did not see an airplane of any kind, but rather a glowing object approximately 50 feet across. (Art told me it was the brightest light that he has ever seen in his life)

Art said it was really eerie to watch, and the humming that came from the UFO, seemed to resonate throughout all of the crash teams bodies.

One has to remember that the crash team was still inside their building when they could feel the humming, but they eventually did move outside and stood approximately 100 feet away from this huge and extremely bright UFO which was hovering just over the tarmac pretty much in front of the control tower and of course all the men watching.

As everyone stood looking at this unidentified object, more bright lights about the size of a Volkswagen came from out of the hovering UFO and flew at an incredible fast rate of speed up to a communication station which was located on a nearby hill and sat stationary on it.

Another light went down and hovered over the bunkers. After a period of time the lights that were zipping around did come back to the main object and merged into it.

All of a sudden the large UFO took off at such a high rate of speed it left all of the personnel watching it dumfounded.

As Art mentioned, we have nothing here on earth that could move as quickly as this thing did and I would certainly be in agreement with Art on this.

The control tower called the crash crew and asked, "what the hell was that"! The crew replied back, it was a UFO!

Art remembers one of the personnel in the control tower cursing, as this was something one does not see every day, and he also mentioned that the object was as bright as the sun and lit up the entire area as if it was daylight.

The crash crew station below:


Art said, they were really frightened, they were young men at the time, Art being 19 years old.

The thirteen men stood looking at one another saying, "what the heck was that"?

Soon afterwards, or after the event was over which left a lot of men scratching their heads, the officer of the day showed up and confronted the men and told them what they all saw was "Ball Lightning".

Art's response to the officer of the day was, if that was ball lightning, then it had to be the largest display of lightning on record.

Art also said he would be more than willing to sit down and take a lie detector test to provide what he is relating is the truth.

He also mentioned that there were people taking pictures of the object. He could not remember who these people were, but when the pictures came back, Art remembers everyone looking at them and seeing nothing but a bright, camera flash type light in each of the photos.

One just wasn't able to see anything other than this brilliant white light.

Art also figures the object sat stationary just feet about the tarmac for 10 to 15 minutes. This object wasn't flying by, it was sitting still for a long period of time in front of all these men.

Also he said that the UFO incident was placed into the crash crews logbook and also in the control tower's logbook as well.

Art sat down on another day following the sighting and wrote a letter to his family back home. This was a personal letter, asking how things were, etc, then Art added that he saw a UFO. He described just a little about what he saw.

You can view the letter by clicking on the following link. I also should add that Brian Vike has not removed any of the names or information.

I asked Art if I should remove names and he told me to leave the letter as is. The family members who are mentioned in this letter have passed away. I have also added a link to the envelope the letter came in.

After the family members passed on a lot of their possessions were given back to family and this is how Art came into possession again of his letter.

View Art's letter he sent to the family: *Art's Letter To His Family*


Also you can view the envelope Art's letter came in which has the postal dated stamp on it:

*Art's Envelope He Sent The Letter In To His Family*
















The letter and the envelope are copyrighted 2008 to Art.

You also can listen to the telephone interview I did with Art over the UFO sighting at Adak Island, Aleutian Islands Alaska. The interview is 23:31 minutes in length. More can be heard by listening to the audio portion of this report.

On a side note, separate from the sighting Art and the other men had. Art told me about another time when a Coast Guard ship docked at Adak Island where he was stationed, and he and others were handling the tying up of the Coast Guard ship.

After the ship was docked and the Coast Guard crew were coming off the ship, one of the sailors stopped and talked to Art and the other men, saying you would not believe what just happened as the Coast Guard ship was coming into port.

A UFO came straight up and out of the water in front of the ship and kept traveling straight up. The sailor said the craft was anywhere from 50 to 100 feet in width.

The ship immediately scrambled and went into general quarters. The sailor said he was as white as a sheet, from the sounds of things, the entire crew was pretty freaked out over the incident.

Also I should add, this UFO incident happened prior to what Art and the others folks witnessed.

Thank you to Art for a fascinating report, the letter, envelope and telephone conversation.

If anyone has witnessed the UFOs/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 In Northern, British Columbia


This report starts in mid October 2001. While in the Canadian Tire parking lot, Chris Balatti, a long time acquaintance came up to me and started telling me about three Sasquatch that had been hanging around his property the whole summer the pervious year (2000). when I asked him why he waited a whole year to tell me this, he said that he didn't know who to contact. It was only when his grandchildren saw my name on the web did he learn of my interest in the Sasquatch. Arrangements were made to visit him at his home to get more details.

Chris Balatti's house is the last one on the left hand side of the road. Behind the lot and running back along the street for three quarters of a mile is a large area of undeveloped crown and park land. Behind the houses there is also a natural gas pipeline and the clearing for it is called the Pipeline Road. During the recession of the early 1980's a make work program, the heavy brush and scrub trees were removed and the area thinned out. A number of access trails were made by cutting the trees close to the ground. This area is well used by dirt motorcycles, mountain bikes, horse riders and hikers.



Above: Pipline Road behind Chris's home looking south towards Old Lakelse drive and the bench where it connects to old Lakelse Drive. Drive on the left runs into Chris's yard. Pictures taken in mid January, 2003. a few days later it snowed.

It is in this area, surrounded by houses and buildings that the Sasquatch were for the whole summer.

In early May 2000, Chris's seventeen year old granddaughter accompanied by a large sized dog was walking along Pipeline Road. About 150 feet past Chris's house, towards the hill was a flat area on top. Their dog suddenly pressed against the granddaughter's legs and stopped her. The granddaughter wondering why the dog was acting so strangely, she saw about 250 feet ahead of her, three hairy men crossing the road from the park to the brush on the other side. Two were brown and one was white.

Chris knew what these hairy men were.

Not long after this, Chris decided to take a horse back ride in the park. The horse refused to leave the Pipeline Road and enter the park and it was this way all summer. Also noted was all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking much more than usual.

Several times during the summer Chris walked through the area looking for signs of these creatures. All that was found were places on the moss that had a very strong unpleasant odor where the Sasquatch had apparently bedded down. It was also noted that all the wild berries had disappeared and no bear droppings were seen. A number of times his horse and the neighbors dogs were acting up and nothing could be seen to cause this at night.

During the summer, once he hung out an old work jacket on a high fence post that was on the bush side of his yard which he soon forgot about. When he finally thought about it and went to retrieve it several days later it was stinking strongly of urine and had to be washed. Apparently this is what the Sasquatch think of us humans.

Also during the summer a large tree came down across Pipeline Road and Chris cut it up for firewood. It was wheel barrowed in as it was needed. In mid October around 7:30 p.m. he went for another load of wood. With him was a Husky breed of dog that he was looking after. When he was heading out he noticed a group of kids on the road and they were taking their time in going home as it was getting dark.

When Chris reached the firewood which was at the location where the granddaughter was when she saw the hairy men. The dog was some distance further down the road investigating the roadside. Just as the first piece of wood landed in the wheelbarrow a loud scream came out of the bus across the Pipeline Road from the parkland and where the dog was sniffing around. The dog was paralyzed and didn't know what to do, but came to Chris when he was called.

He could also hear the voices of the concerned kids on the Road. The wheelbarrow was loaded and they started back. As they neared the fence of his property line there was another loud scream from the bush on the same side of the road which made the dog whimper with fear. The kids who were on the road had heard enough. From their scared voices and running feet it was obvious that they were clearing out.

Meantime, Chris was trying to calm the dog and at the same time talk to the creatures in the bush with a soothing voice that meant no harm. By now it was too dark to see any thing in the bush, but there were more screams. What he did was a number of "ough,ough,ough and some chatter which gradually moved away. It appears that there were at least two at this spot. It is my feeling that the screaming was at the dog for being so close and not at Chris.

A few days later, Chris began to make the sounds that he had heard and all the dogs within hearing distance would start barking. By mid November the dogs would no longer bark so franticly, so Chris tired his horse again. This time it went into the park. The dogs and horse knew that the Sasquatch were around even if the people didn't. Even with heavy use, these creatures despite their huge size managed to stay out of sight for the most part.

This is the next report on the Sasquatch. On the previous report Chris had first told me that in mid October 2001 what had happened the previous year (2000). Chris was rather hard to get a hold of at his home. Being retired and a widower, plus living alone he likes to spend a lot of time shooting the bull at the local watering hole. because of this the final details were not obtained until November 24, 2001.

Above: Terrace Mountain as seen from the road scales looking northwest. The white spot is a rock the graduation class usually paint their year on. The Sasquatch rock was in line to the left in the center of a discontinued power line which is the brown strip.

During the summer of 2001 there were no signs of Sasquatch in the park area. When mushroom picking season arrived, the park area became rather crowded so he went up Terrace Mountain. he also took his dog with him. while he was looking for mushrooms the dog was doing his own exploring. Chris's dog started a howling session so Chris went to investigate. When he arrived to where his dog was he saw about a 4x6 foot flat rock, on the rock were three big piles of strange looking scat. (animal droppings) Chris knew there weren't from a bear. Also his dog has never showed the slightest interest in bear droppings before. However the dog went owly over these scats. They were not touched but Chris kept a lookout for the creature after that. He has been up the mountain recently and found that recent heavy rains had washed two of them away. One was under an evergreen tree and was still intact. Also he had found three large footprints that has a six foot stride across a slide area. Chris approached Mike to see if he was interested in seeing this and would take him up on the mountain to have a look. Of course Mike was interested in seeing the scat as he felt it could not be faked. The only problems was that Mike is 83 years old and has arthritis in his left knee. Chris felt that Mike could make it by using his cane, so the next day, November 25, 2001 we went up to retrieve the scat, taking along an ice cream bucket and some plastic to pick it up.

It all was as Chris had described it. There were only stains on the rock where the two other scats had washed down the sides. The base of the rock was checked and there was nothing there. I'm looking around and wondering what attracted the creature to this spot so often as there was no food here. Chris had already figured it out. This rock was in the center of a now discontinued power line right of way. a hundred yards below was a good view of a nature hiking trail. Below that was a busy road with a bridge across the Skeena River. It was the ideal place to do some people watching.

The scat was put in the pail and it was off to look at the tracks, there were three in an almost straight line across a narrow shale slide area. The footprints were just oblong depressions, four inches deep and about six feet apart. Chris is 6 ft 2 and weighs 280 pounds and left no visible footprints on the slide area, even just below the Sasquatch tracks. From this observation how much would a 10 foot tall Sasquatch weigh?

The scat weighed one and a quarter pounds. It was loaded with plum stones as if the creature had raided someone's orchard. About 1000 feet away on a bench was a sizeable housing area. Another member who drives a taxi counted nine plum trees in that area. Even though word had gone around that something was in the area .. nobody had reported seeing anything like this creature. During the summer of 2003, full reports were sent to the Washington State University, Oregon Field Guide and a B.C. Anthropologist. None replied even though they regularly appear on TV documentaries. A check was also made to the B.C. government and they have no testing facility for this type of work. And could offer no more help.

The plum stones that the Sasquatch ate are sharp and rough and are in the fasces. There is some headway being made to prove scientifically that the Sasquatch exists. In the meantime the scat was allowed to dry out and is now one third of its original size.

After we had picked up the Sasquatch scat, Chris told me of an incident that took place at the home of a long time mutual acquaintance. Due to the circumstances involved his name can't be given so we'll call him Jim. When I arrived at his home, Jim had been expecting me to drop by. The incident in question took place in summer around 1980. As with most people of that time he really didn't believe in wild people living in the woods.

One night about two a.m. he was awakened by some noise outside his bedroom window. There, silhouetted by the street lights, was a large human like figure that filled much of the five feet long and 3 feet high window. He thought that it was standing on a ladder because its head was near the top of the window which was 10 feet off the ground. Huge hands were on the window sill. The creature that he believed didn't exist .. was here at his bedroom window.

Thinking that the creature was trying to break in and fearing for his life, he hurried to the closet where he had a double barreled shotgun and a box of shells. Quickly loading the gun he went back to the window. There at point blank range he raised his shotgun to the center of the forehead and let go with both barrels. One after the other right through the glass. He then rushed to the shattered window to see the results of his marksmanship. To his disbelief he sees a huge human like figure high tailing it down the driveway to the road. At the speed it was going nothing on legs would have caught it. It would have been foolhardy to go outside in the dark, so the gun was reloaded and he went back to bed. In the morning there were huge footprints under the window but not a drop of blood could be found. The next question asked was about the color of the fur and he said it was white. The last question was if this had been reported to the police. His answer was that the police would never have believed him. There was no body, no blood, and the footprints could be fakes.

He would have probably been charged with dangerous use of a firearm in a residential area. The houses across the street were peppered with bird shot. However enough velocity was lost so no windows were broken. No damage was noticed. And no reports were made to the police.

It is safer to talk about it now as there is less skepticism that the Sasquatch exists. So what happened here ???? We can surmise that the creature saw movement in the room and decided to exit in a hurry. It moved just far enough aside for the hail of pellets to miss its head and ended up with a good scare and badly ringing ears.

There were no more reports of a Sasquatch peeking into any house windows. However, in my talking to loggers, there was mention of a Sasquatch doing similar things on the Queen Charlotte islands. This gives our local report some validity.

Another report came in from a logging crew. While on a logging site they saw at a distance, a human form. They were sure that what they were seeing was not a human.

I would like to request if anyone has been witness to a Sasquatch/Bigfoot I would really like to hear the story. Please contact brian at: hbccufo@telus.net Thank you, Brian Vike - The Vike Factor.

Sasquatch In Northern, British Columbia

While in the Canadian Tire parking lot, Chris Balatti, a long time acquaintance came up to me and started telling me about three Sasquatch that had been hanging around his property the whole summer the pervious year (2000). when I asked him why he waited a whole year to tell me this, he said that he didn't know who to contact. It was only when his grandchildren saw my name on the web did he learn of my interest in the Sasquatch. Arrangements were made to visit him at his home to get more details.

Chris Balatti's house is the last one on the left hand side of the road. Behind the lot and running back along the street for three quarters of a mile is a large area of undeveloped crown and park land. Behind the houses there is also a natural gas pipeline and the clearing for it is called the Pipeline Road. During the recession of the early 1980's a make work program, the heavy brush and scrub trees were removed and the area thinned out. A number of access trails were made by cutting the trees close to the ground. This area is well used by dirt motorcycles, mountain bikes, horse riders and hikers.




Above: Pipline Road behind Chris's home looking south towards Old Lakelse drive and the bench where it connects to old Lakelse Drive. Drive on the left runs into Chris's yard. Pictures taken in mid January, 2003. a few days later it snowed.

It is in this area, surrounded by houses and buildings that the Sasquatch were for the whole summer.

In early May 2000, Chris's seventeen year old granddaughter accompanied by a large sized dog was walking along Pipeline Road. About 150 feet past Chris's house, towards the hill was a flat area on top. Their dog suddenly pressed against the granddaughter's legs and stopped her. The granddaughter wondering why the dog was acting so strangely, she saw about 250 feet ahead of her, three hairy men crossing the road from the park to the brush on the other side. Two were brown and one was white.

Chris knew what these hairy men were.

Not long after this, Chris decided to take a horse back ride in the park. The horse refused to leave the Pipeline Road and enter the park and it was this way all summer. Also noted was all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking much more than usual.

Several times during the summer Chris walked through the area looking for signs of these creatures. All that was found were places on the moss that had a very strong unpleasant odor where the Sasquatch had apparently bedded down. It was also noted that all the wild berries had disappeared and no bear droppings were seen. A number of times his horse and the neighbors dogs were acting up and nothing could be seen to cause this at night.

During the summer, once he hung out an old work jacket on a high fence post that was on the bush side of his yard which he soon forgot about. When he finally thought about it and went to retrieve it several days later it was stinking strongly of urine and had to be washed. Apparently this is what the Sasquatch think of us humans.

Also during the summer a large tree came down across Pipeline Road and Chris cut it up for firewood. It was wheel barrowed in as it was needed. In mid October around 7:30 p.m. he went for another load of wood. With him was a Husky breed of dog that he was looking after. When he was heading out he noticed a group of kids on the road and they were taking their time in going home as it was getting dark.

When Chris reached the firewood which was at the location where the granddaughter was when she saw the hairy men. The dog was some distance further down the road investigating the roadside. Just as the first piece of wood landed in the wheelbarrow a loud scream came out of the bus across the Pipeline Road from the parkland and where the dog was sniffing around. The dog was paralyzed and didn't know what to do, but came to Chris when he was called.

He could also hear the voices of the concerned kids on the Road. The wheelbarrow was loaded and they started back. As they neared the fence of his property line there was another loud scream from the bush on the same side of the road which made the dog whimper with fear. The kids who were on the road had heard enough. From their scared voices and running feet it was obvious that they were clearing out.

Meantime, Chris was trying to calm the dog and at the same time talk to the creatures in the bush with a soothing voice that meant no harm. By now it was too dark to see any thing in the bush, but there were more screams. What he did was a number of "ough,ough,ough and some chatter which gradually moved away. It appears that there were at least two at this spot. It is my feeling that the screaming was at the dog for being so close and not at Chris.

A few days later, Chris began to make the sounds that he had heard and all the dogs within hearing distance would start barking. By mid November the dogs would no longer bark so franticly, so Chris tired his horse again. This time it went into the park. The dogs and horse knew that the Sasquatch were around even if the people didn't. Even with heavy use, these creatures despite their huge size managed to stay out of sight for the most part.

This is the next report on the Sasquatch. On the previous report Chris had first told me that in mid October 2001 what had happened the previous year (2000). Chris was rather hard to get a hold of at his home. Being retired and a widower, plus living alone he likes to spend a lot of time shooting the bull at the local watering hole. because of this the final details were not obtained until November 24, 2001.

During the summer of 2001 there were no signs of Sasquatch in the park area. When mushroom picking season arrived, the park area became rather crowded so he went up Terrace Mountain. he also took his dog with him. while he was looking for mushrooms the dog was doing his own exploring. Chris's dog started a howling session so Chris went to investigate. When he arrived to where his dog was he saw about a 4x6 foot flat rock, on the rock were three big piles of strange looking scat. (animal droppings) Chris knew there weren't from a bear. Also his dog has never showed the slightest interest in bear droppings before. However the dog went owly over these scats. They were not touched but Chris kept a lookout for the creature after that. He has been up the mountain recently and found that recent heavy rains had washed two of them away. One was under an evergreen tree and was still intact. Also he had found three large footprints that has a six foot stride across a slide area. Chris approached Mike to see if he was interested in seeing this and would take him up on the mountain to have a look. Of course Mike was interested in seeing the scat as he felt it could not be faked. The only problems was that Mike is 83 years old and has arthritis in his left knee. Chris felt that Mike could make it by using his cane, so the next day, November 25, 2001 we went up to retrieve the scat, taking along an ice cream bucket and some plastic to pick it up.

It all was as Chris had described it. There were only stains on the rock where the two other scats had washed down the sides. The base of the rock was checked and there was nothing there. I'm looking around and wondering what attracted the creature to this spot so often as there was no food here. Chris had already figured it out. This rock was in the center of a now discontinued power line right of way. a hundred yards below was a good view of a nature hiking trail. Below that was a busy road with a bridge across the Skeena River. It was the ideal place to do some people watching.

The scat was put in the pail and it was off to look at the tracks, there were three in an almost straight line across a narrow shale slide area. The footprints were just oblong depressions, four inches deep and about six feet apart. Chris is 6 ft 2 and weighs 280 pounds and left no visible footprints on the slide area, even just below the Sasquatch tracks. From this observation how much would a 10 foot tall Sasquatch weigh?

The scat weighed one and a quarter pounds. It was loaded with plum stones as if the creature had raided someone's orchard. About 1000 feet away on a bench was a sizeable housing area. Another member who drives a taxi counted nine plum trees in that area. Even though word had gone around that something was in the area .. nobody had reported seeing anything like this creature. During the summer of 2003, full reports were sent to the Washington State University, Oregon Field Guide and a B.C. Anthropologist. None replied even though they regularly appear on TV documentaries. A check was also made to the B.C. government and they have no testing facility for this type of work. And could offer no more help.

The plum stones that the Sasquatch ate are sharp and rough and are in the fasces. There is some headway being made to prove scientifically that the Sasquatch exists. In the meantime the scat was allowed to dry out and is now one third of its original size.

After we had picked up the Sasquatch scat, Chris told me of an incident that took place at the home of a long time mutual acquaintance. Due to the circumstances involved his name can't be given so we'll call him Jim. When I arrived at his home, Jim had been expecting me to drop by. The incident in question took place in summer around 1980. As with most people of that time he really didn't believe in wild people living in the woods.

One night about two a.m. he was awakened by some noise outside his bedroom window. There, silhouetted by the street lights, was a large human like figure that filled much of the five feet long and 3 feet high window. He thought that it was standing on a ladder because its head was near the top of the window which was 10 feet off the ground. Huge hands were on the window sill. The creature that he believed didn't exist .. was here at his bedroom window.

Thinking that the creature was trying to break in and fearing for his life, he hurried to the closet where he had a double barreled shotgun and a box of shells. Quickly loading the gun he went back to the window. There at point blank range he raised his shotgun to the center of the forehead and let go with both barrels. One after the other right through the glass. He then rushed to the shattered window to see the results of his marksmanship. To his disbelief he sees a huge human like figure high tailing it down the driveway to the road. At the speed it was going nothing on legs would have caught it. It would have been foolhardy to go outside in the dark, so the gun was reloaded and he went back to bed. In the morning there were huge footprints under the window but not a drop of blood could be found. The next question asked was about the color of the fur and he said it was white. The last question was if this had been reported to the police. His answer was that the police would never have believed him. There was no body, no blood, and the footprints could be fakes.

He would have probably been charged with dangerous use of a firearm in a residential area. The houses across the street were peppered with bird shot. However enough velocity was lost so no windows were broken. No damage was noticed. And no reports were made to the police.

It is safer to talk about it now as there is less skepticism that the Sasquatch exists. So what happened here ???? We can surmise that the creature saw movement in the room and decided to exit in a hurry. It moved just far enough aside for the hail of pellets to miss its head and ended up with a good scare and badly ringing ears.

There were no more reports of a Sasquatch peeking into any house windows. However, in my talking to loggers, there was mention of a Sasquatch doing similar things on the Queen Charlotte islands. This gives our local report some validity.

Another report came in from a logging crew. While on a logging site they saw at a distance, a human form. They were sure that what they were seeing was not a human.

I would like to request if anyone has been witness to a Sasquatch/Bigfoot I would really like to hear the story. Please contact brian at: hbccufo@telus.net Thank you, Brian Vike - The Vike Factor.
