Notice To The Vike Factor Visitors (From Brian Vike)

 
I am going to be out of town for well over a week, so there won’t be any new posting of sighting reports until I come back home.

There will be people here at home, it is just myself who will be away.

Thank you, and please keep sending in the sighting reports as I will reply when I arrive back home.

I should add, if you have had a Meteor/Fireball sighting, please file a detailed report on this as well. This information is helping me and many others as well.

I would like to extend my many thanks to everyone who has filed a sighting report to me here in the month of January. It has been the busiest month ever for myself.

There have been 445 sightings that have been posted to the Vike Factor in January alone. This is a new record. :)

Also, I did a rough count for the reports I have not posted as of yet, and there is approximately another 90 reports that have not been posted, that I will get to when I arrive back home.

I would like to also thank the two fellows who have been posting most of the material to the blog, couldn’t do any of this without them.

Take care

V Or Triangular Shaped UFO Flying Over Santa Cruz California

 
Date:  2008
Time:  9:28 p.m.
 
I live in Santa Cruz CA. and have a new hobby watching and tracking satellites and I just saw a large V shape craft flying overhead for the third time within a month. Tonight at 9:28 p.m. PST, I saw it again, straight above me, gliding from south to north.
 
No lights at all, large V or triangle shape, lighter colored than the night sky.

The other times it flew from east to west, then next was southeast to northwest. It seemed to fly fairly slow, slower than satellites or airplanes, and no lights at all every time.
 
The only reason I can see it is because it is lighter than the night sky. Any input. CT Santa Cruz, California.

Two UFOs Hovering About 3 Meters Off The Ground At Barton Stacey Hampshire England UK

 
Date:  January 3, 2012
Time:  6:15 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Two hovering vehicles.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Two hovering craft in a farmers field, one with two central white lights and two central red lights situated opposite the All Saints Barton Stacey Church in this field.
 
I was walking up the hill to my house and these two crafts were hovering about 30 meters away from me and hovering about 3 meters off the ground.
 
It looked like they were communicating with each other. These crafts then accelerated away from me to opposite sides of this very long field in an instant and then changed direction again, in what appeared to be observing the parameters of this field by moving quickly across the field faster than any conventional known craft!

2 Bright Spherical Orange Lights Over Sri Lanka Mount Lavinia

 
Date:  January 28, 2012
Time:  10:30 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of Objects: 7
Shape of Objects: Spherical.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi, at 10:30 p.m. today, 28th January 2012. I noticed 2 bright orange lights spherical in shape slightly blinking flying across the southwestern skyline.
 
I quickly called my fiancé out to the balcony and as she came, 2 more came from the same direction and flew along the direction of the earlier 2 and disappeared with the other 2.
 
We called my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law as well. These 4 were joined by three others. Going along the same line and disappearing. This event would have lasted about 5 minutes.
 
There was no noise coming from them. They all blinked slightly and disappeared as if they were going up into space. It was bizarre and we are still trying to figure out what it was.

Hovering Orange Lights Observed From Eastbound On 595 South Florida

 
Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  Approx: 7:30 p.m.
 
Hello there, our family was heading eastbound on 595 last night around 7:30 p.m. and we too saw the strange lights hovering on the north side of the highway. I think many people were wondering what they were because traffic was slowing down on our lane.
 
You are correct. The lights were not blinking and the objects were stationary. We were in awe at what we were looking at. If you have any news as to what it might have been, please let us know! Thanks.

Bright Orange Object Lights Up The Clouds Over Brisbane (QLD) Australia

 
Date:  January 28, 2012
Time:  10:00 p.m. - 10:02 p.m
 
My wife and I just saw an orange light (silently) fly in a due east to west direction over our house on the south side of Brisbane (QLD), Australia. It was on steady course, no noise, faster than a chopper, but slower than a plane. Altitude would only be 1000 feet at most.
 
Size would be (from our point of view) about the size of a search light. Sighting occurred at 10:00 p.m. - 10:02 p.m. 28th January 2012.
It lit up the clouds above it (it's currently raining here) but it never shifted course and remained below the clouds for the full 2 minutes we saw it.

Triangular Shaped UFO With Three Prongs Seen Over University Place Washington

 
Date:  January 21, 2012
Time:  9:10 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 8
Shape of Objects: Triangle with 3 prongs at bottom.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Lights came out of the SW heading N over the Puget Sound. Two at a time spaced evenly each time. The shape was triangular with 3 distinct prongs at the bottom.
 
Very red in color, almost as if surrounded by fire or an incredibly bright red light.
 
Appeared as if they were taking off from somewhere because of the arch pattern they were flying. Would make the arch, then go straight up and out of sight. Always in the same spot. Except 2 of them.
 
They hovered a few seconds at the place where the others seemed to depart, then at what appeared to be an adjusted speed headed over towards the Narrows Bridge.
 
At times it looked as if they were hovering in place over the bridge or Gig Harbor. Never have I seen anything like this before. The sight and wonder of it all was riveting!

Teal Blue Orange Red Yellow Meteor With Long White Tail Streaks Across The Sky Over New Jersey

 
Date:  August 3, 2008
Time:  10:00 p.m.

I saw a meteor at 10:00 p.m. August 3, 2008. New Jersey. I happened to be looking out my second story window facing south and I saw it streak out of the eastern sky. I saw a long white trail behind it. The duration was approximately 3 or 4 seconds.

Colors were teal-blue, orange-red, yellow and white. The meteor was thicker on the leading edge. It came down at about 45 degree angle and disintegrated much like fireworks do.

At first I thought that's what this was, but it was too big and I heard no sound except a shimmery whistling, plus this brilliant streak came from the wrong angle. Very cool thing to witness.

Orange Colored Lights Spotted Over Oxenden Square Herne Bay Kent UK

 
Date:  July 2011
Time:  9:00 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 2 clearly and many in background.
Shape of Objects: Orange spheres pulsating.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Watched a host of orange lights in sky diagonally move across from my home in the distance moving at speed with no noise in zig zag formation almost.
 
Then two orange coloured lights hovered opposite my second story window within fifty foot on the roof line of my neighbors roof in Oxenden Street for about 10 minutes.
 
My 10 year old daughter was freaked out and kept telling me to close the window and come away as no way were they lanterns, helicopters or planes.
 
I was fascinated and excited at what was happened and emailed Howard Hughes the unexplained website the next day to report this.
 
The lights then moved at speed towards the sea and did not return. I am convinced these were UFOs.

Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  Approx: 8:00 p.m.
 
Approximately 8:00 p.m. we were outside and saw the same "star" shooting across the sky  from south to north in the western sky, west of Roseburg.

It looked more like a piece of space debris that was falling apart as it crossed, as it seemed to be ejecting balls behind it, and no it had no defined tail.

It disappeared to the North into the tree line.

Huge Red Green Sphere Observed By Two Witnesses Over Ayrshire Scotland

 
Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  2:32 a.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: Mass of orbs/objects.
Shape of Objects: Red and blue orbs rotating triangular movement.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: At around 2:30 a.m. I woke up to go to bathroom. Out my bedroom window I noticed a clear bright sky and what looked like a huge plane. I looked more closely before I went and retrieved my binoculars from down stairs.
 
After around taking in what I was seeing, I woke my girlfriend up to make sure we were both seeing the same thing. She just stared at the sky for 5 minutes or more. We both saw a kind of huge red and green sphere or orb rotating in a triangular motion.
 
It was really clear, but looked so far away. I couldn’t understand what I was seeing, was possible. I watched it for another hour and half before cloudy sky’s hampered my view. It changed shape into a circle with all sorts of bright lights bursting out of the objects I was seeing.
 
Also at one point, the lights seemed to light up the sky, flashing in the upper skyline with different coloured lightning, but much softer and without the thunder noise. The sky was clear, bright and the object was clear to see with my naked eye and much more clearer with my binoculars.

15 To 20 Yellow White Lights Over Davie Florida

 
Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  Evening.
 
Tonight my husband and I were driving west on I-595 in Davie, Florida and we saw about 15-20 yellowish-white lights scattered from the ground up into the sky.  They weren’t blinking Just stationary, not moving.  We were stunned. 

I didn’t take my eyes off them for a long time because I really wanted to remember what I was seeing.  We both wondered if they were angels?

Circular Object Shoots Upward Faster Than A Jet Fighter Over Ontario Oregon

 
 Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  8:01 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Circular.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: My wife and I were smoking a cigarette and I was talking to her. She said "What is that?" I turned around to see what looked like a shooting star.
 
However it was quite many times larger than a shooting star (the size difference between a dime and a Kennedy half-dollar) and it was "shooting" upwards instead of across the sky or downward as most shooting stars do.
 
Another observance I made was that this "shooting star" had no tail. There was just a ball of light shooting upwards many times faster than any fighter jet flies.
 
After about 10 seconds of the ball shooting upwards, it gave off what seemed like a bit of light dust for 2 seconds and then was completely gone. Just disappeared.
 
It didn't fade away it just was gone. If you have any information on this sighting or any information that comes your way, please contact me as I am very curious and am a frequent sky observer.

Orange Lights In The Night Sky Over Laezonia Pretoria South Africa

 
Date:  January 1, 2012
Time:  12”02 a.m.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I am from Laezonia, it falls under Pretoria. A minute or two after New Year we saw orange lights in the sky, the one was by it self and the other had three lights in the shape of a triangle, the triangle just stood still for  a while and then slowly moved away and disappeared while the single light moved away at a constant speed and disappeared.

It was very bizarre and strange.

I understand that many people seem to think these are Chinese lanterns, but it is impossible as those lanterns are always moving and this triangle was steadily hovering for a long time.

We are on a plot and were having a New Years party and all went outside to see the fireworks at midnight, to our dismay there were only a few on the other side to where we sighted these lights.

They were also not high up in the sky, we could see the lights very clearly and low down.

I have several witnesses who watched this with me.

If you by any chance have any information on this, I would appreciate if you let me know. Regards.

Four Lights Converging And Separating Over Hackensack New Jersey

 
Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  10:14 p.m.
 
Hackensack NJ and the time is 10:14 p.m. Four lights in a kind of parabolic movement which converge and then separate. I'm not a nut and I just found your blog because I was looking to see if someone was talking about it. I have never seen something like this. It is not Northern Lights. They are in a distinct pattern and it's still there.
 
I have been watching it for five minutes and I am near Teterboro Airport, could that be an explanation?

I  live in  high rise on the 10th floor. I will be watching news tomorrow to see what others saw.

Serviceman Observes UFOs Over Moody Air Force Base Valdosta Georgia And In The North Atlantic


I was stationed at Moody Air Force base in Valdosta, Georgia in the early 70’s. My job was training student pilots in the flight simulators I was assigned to.

I was making a milk run for my family one evening in 1973, driving from our house to the base convenience store. 

The sky was clear and if you know anything about South Georgia you know that the lay of the land is very flat.

I observed an extremely fast moving light about 30 degrees above the horizon moving roughly south to north from the air base. I slowed down to watch what I now believe to be a UFO moving across the sky at an incredible rate of speed.

I observed the object abruptly change direction by what I would estimate to be 30 to 40 degrees to the east. Within just a few seconds the object was no longer in sight.

About 30 to 60 seconds later I saw two chase planes leaving the air base in what appeared to be an attempt to intercept the UFO.

The planes used to chase the object are supersonic jet training planes. What I observed was an object that was moving at what I would estimate to be at least five times faster than the jets in pursuit. Result – not even a contest. UFO was gone!

After separating from the Air Force in 1978 I worked a few odd jobs in the electronics field. I acquired a job with the Naval Oceanographic office in 1981. I was an electronic technician assigned to an oceanographic research ship that surveyed the North Atlantic.

One cloudless October evening, about 2 hours before sunset while in the North Atlantic above the Arctic Circle, I decided to take a short break while there was a lull in the ship’s activities.

I walked out to the fantail of the ship and sat with my feet hanging off of the starboard side of the ship.

The water was amazingly calm and clear. About a quarter mile from the side of the ship I observed the water glowing from below which as you might imagine immediately caught my attention.

Imagine an extremely bright spotlight shining up through crystal clear ocean water from a depth that was in the neighborhood of 8-10 thousand feet deep.

Within what I estimate to be about 2-3 seconds, a sphere of white light exited the water. I would estimate the size of the object to be the size of a beach ball.

As if that in itself was not amazing enough the object did not disturb the water at all upon exiting and was totally silent.

The object left the water and ascended vertically at an unbelievable rate of speed. I would estimate the time from exiting the water to moment the object disappeared from view into the clear evening sky to be less than 3 seconds.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

If anyone has witnessed the 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.

Ball Of Light Seen Over Surrey British Columbia

 
Date:  January 26, 2012
Time:  Evening.
 
I just wanted to report what might have been a 2nd UFO sighting in Surrey, British Columbia. I'm not sure if your from there or who we can report the sighting to here closer to us if your not. I do prefer we are to remain anonymous.
 
But we have seen the same exact ball of light twice appearing in the same spot now within a week in Jan 2012 and we are curious if anyone else have seen the same ball of light as we have?
 
It appeared to us twice in the formed shape of a very 'bright' almost like a star ball hovering just below the clouds and very large seen in Surrey, and appearing to have hovered for nearly an hour and suddenly moving in the direction of New Westminster, B.C.
 
It was not a plane or a helicopter for a helicopter did pass right over it in the direction of the Vancouver area which was the same direction the UFO eventually went. It was a solid physical object that looked very much like a star, but it was not likely a fallen star and was very low to earth just observing.
 
We managed to take a couple pictures of it from a cell phone. I did take a recording of it as well from my own phone, but when we went to check on the recording moments later, they were no where to be found throughout any files on my phone and I know I did not delete them.
 
The 1st sighting we had saw this was January 22nd 2012 in the later evening. I did check YouTube to see if anyone else had recorded it as well, or might have seen it out of curiosity hoping we couldn't have been the only people that had seen this obvious sighting hovering above Surrey BC these two times so far.
 
The last one we had just witnessed the same sighting last night appearing in the same exact area, this was on January 26th 2012 also around the same time in the later evening.

Strange Green Light Makes Unusual Maneuvers In The Sky Over Interstate 80 Tahoe Nevada

 
Date:  January 25, 2012
Time:  Evening.
 
Hello, my two friends and I were driving east on 80 up to Tahoe tonight and saw a green light moving in the air in a flight pattern we had never seen. Up, down and diagonal. There was no tail, no flashing lights. 
 
It was not big enough to be a helicopter, or plane and couldn't have been with the way it was moving. 
 
Maybe a radio controlled something? To big to be a laser or pointer of some sort. I've never seen a UFO, or never reported anything. When I saw it, I  brought it to the attention of driver and front passenger.
 
All of us saw the same thing. No drinking or drugs. Regards.

White Blue Object Burns Out In The Sky Over West Houston Texas

 
Date:  January 26, 2012
Time:  5:45 p.m.
 
Mr. Vike, at approximately 5:45 p.m. this evening (1/26/12) I saw what looked to be a meteor/shooting star fall to the northern direction of me. I was surprised how bright it was (seemed white/light blue to me), and was one of the larger ones I have seen.
 
It looked as if it burned out before it reached the top of my "visibility line". It was falling at probably a 20-30 degree angle. I am in the Memorial area of West Houston. I just spotted another (much smaller in size) at approximately 1:10 a.m. It was in the same general area of the sky, but burned out much more quickly this time. 
 
It looked as if it was much further away as well. You are the only person on the web I found so far that posted a "sighting" similar to what I saw. Hope this helps and feel free to email with any questions or information.

Huge Amber Colored Ball Of Light Over Arabian Sea United Arab Emirates

 
Date:  January 27, 2012
Time:  Between 00:30 to 00:40
 
Hi, I read you post at http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.com/ (in fact I was searching for the same). I'm from UAE (GMT +4:00). Yesterday night (27th January, between 00:30 to 00:40) we saw exactly the same which you described in your post.
 
Big amber color ball, at least 10 times bigger than a star we see, moving in the sky. We saw it exactly above the Arabian sea. I was driving, it was feeling like someone was flying a kite with flaming material (we use to see in our native place in India).
 
It was not sky-high, and was impossible for someone to fly a kite in the middle of the sea (in 12 c). It was quite, fascinating! We saw it for maximum of 1 minutes. When I got down to see it properly and take a picture, it was disappeared. We really don't know how and when it disappeared.
 
We are damn sure it was something that we've never seen before. It was not an aeroplane. We drove many kilometers after that to find it, but we could not find it.

Amber Colored Object/Light Filmed Over Red Deer Alberta

 
Date:  January 25, 2012
Time:  Between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

It was Wednesday, January 25th between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. My sister and I were going to meet some friends for wings. I live in the Lancaster area and I looked to the southwest and noticed the crescent moon.

Above that I noticed an amber ball of light that looked sky high, not space high.

It moved smoothly, horizontally and to the east. It was absolutely silent and graceful. As you can see the whole thing took like 2 minutes.

I just want to know what it was.

To view the video footage: (some language in the film, maybe not great for little ones)

This is what I saw. It looked amber in color. Completely silent. What is it?

Strange Orange Ball Of Light Rose Up Into The Sky Over Northern California

 
Date:  Around 1988
Time:  Evening.
 
My twin brother and I both saw a similar orange ball of light beyond our back yard fence in Northern California. Must have been around 1988. Couldn't tell if it was small and just beyond our fence, or huge and miles away. At any rate it looked like a spherical, sharply demarcated ball of fire.
 
It rose slowly into the air and vanished. It did not appear to fly away. My brother and I could not believe what we saw and strangely did not speak much of it at the time. However in the years gone by we have discussed it and both remember it like it was yesterday.

Silent Manta Ray UFO Spotted Over Meridian Idaho

 
Date:  March 2008
Time:  2:00 a.m.
 
I saw one of these manta crafts over Meridian Idaho. It was about 500 feet up and it was cruising along effortlessly and seemed nearly invisible against the night sky.
 
Between Franklin and Highway 84 headed in the direction of Ontario, Oregon.
It made no sounds, had no lights, it did block the stars out and it went directly over head. The time and date was 2:00 a.m. on March of 2008 (we were in the hot tub)

I estimate the thing was 500 feet from the ground and 200 + feet wide. It looked like a short tailed Manta Ray. I do believe I saw another one much, much higher and on the other side of the highway and way further away, but flying in the same general direction as the closer one.

They seemed to mimic the sky's color, but did block out the stars light as they passed in between the stars and my eyes. No sounds, no markings, no visible engines.

White Fireball With A Tail Seen Over Grand Junction Colorado

 
Date:  August 14, 2008
Time:  1:20 p.m.
 
August 14, 2008 at approximately 1:20 p.m. Grand Junction CO. Driving my car west on E Rd. I saw this white fireball with a tail that looked silver/white come over my vehicle from the southeast very fast. I only saw it for about 4 seconds.
 
It was so awesome to see! I did embark out to the approximate location I thought it had fallen, and searched around a bit, but nothing.

Large Ball Of Fire With Tail Seen Flying Over Manhattan New York

 
Date:  August 3, 2008
Time:  Approx: 10:00 p.m.
 
I was running south along the east river (probably around 65th St.) around 10:00 p.m. on Sunday August 3rd when I saw a big ball of fire with a trailing tail of fire heading east over Manhattan.
 
The meteor appeared to pulse red before it disappeared behind the skyline. It was amazing.
