Experimental Craft Or Something Else Over Manheim County Pennsylvania

Date: November 23, 2003
Time: After 1:30 a.m.

The Vike Factor Note: As you read the witness asked for anonymity. When anyone files a sighting report to me, none of their personal information is posted or given out to anyone.

Sir, First of all, I want total anonymity. This is a sighting of maybe not a UFO, but what appears to me to be some secretive new form of flying craft. I live in Lancaster County Pennsylvania and at the time was working for a trash disposal company. It was November 23, a Friday I believe. The day after thanksgiving, the holiday off, we have to work the following Saturday to make up for the day off, so I went in on Friday three hours early to get a head start and make my Saturday shorter.

I went in at 1:30am and proceeded to Manhiem, Pennsylvania to start my route. I was on (removed to keep identity safe) right outside the town limits to the east dumping one of the several boxes in the area. I was facing west and off to the north I saw a strange brilliant white light descending and it finally disappeared behind the rolling hills to the north. I finished dumping the box, and proceeded into the heart of the town, turned north on Route 72 and headed to my next stop, not thinking about what I saw.

I turned right (east) on White Oak Rd., which is full of hills and sharp turns. I was at the top of one of these hills, when the light appeared again, this time very close.

I stopped my truck and turned off all the lights and flashers, stopping in front of one of the homes on the downside of the hill. I turned off the engine so nobody in the house would wake up. I got out of the truck, and walked past the house, up the small bank on the road and stood by a small tree. There in the distance I saw what appeared to be a craft with one bright light towards the nose and two roving softer lights moving about as if they were searching the ground for something. These lights were as best I can describe, like the follow spot lights on a stage that they use to illuminate the actors.

They not only moved all around as if on a pivot point, but they moved in and out the entire length of the wings (short and stubby) on the craft.

It came closer and closer, I noticed that they (there were two pilots in this thing) were concentrating both lights on something over my horizon. This craft was so close to me by then, that I could see the rivets and over lapping metal that formed the craft.

Down the center of the fuselage were some type of lights, about three inches wide and ten to twelve inches long, flashing from rear to front-pale yellow rear to pale orange front-and most amazingly, not a sound from this thing.

I stepped out from the tree, and watched for about thirty seconds or more, trying to observe what they were doing, when all of a sudden, the pilot in back tapped the front pilot and they both looked at me. In the flash of an eye, this thing glowed a brilliant blue/white light and sped away. No noise, no wind rush, nothing. The two pilots were definitely human, wearing what looked like the old type of jet fighter suit from the early sixties, with a white helmet and dark sunglass type of visor that they wore then.

After they left, I walked over the horizon and saw a small craft, is that what they were looking at or after? I don't know.

The craft was about the size of my tri-axle truck 25-27 feet long and it looked like a miniature sized space shuttle, the best I can describe. There were no markings of any kind that I could discern, only the lights that flowed from front to back (pale yellow to pale orange).

The interior of the cockpit was dimly lit up and I could see the two pilots clearly. I know it was man made, but what did it come from and were they going to start some cattle mutilations here. (this is a very rural area, with tons of Amish farms and Mennonite farms and lots of open space here).

I am not a drinking man nor am I prone to make things up. Please leave my name out of this I beg of you. One of the other drivers saw something, and when he told the guys at work he wound up quitting over the hassle he got.

Breaking News - Sasquatch Or Something Else In Moricetown, British Columbia

I took a telephone call today, late afternoon from a resident of Moricetown British Columbia. From the little I know, tracks were found in the ground and leading off into tall grass. The strange thing about this is, each track appears or is burnt into the ground. Sound strange, well it is.

I am heading for Moricetown tomorrow Friday September 24, 2010 to investigate the tracks. Pictures will be taken besides everything else I will do on location. So once again, we have a very strange case in Moricetown British Columbia. A full report and photos will be posted after I return and can write up a report on this case.

UFOs Or Something Else - A Flood Of Sighting Reports

January 1, 2010

Well I must admit, The Vike Factor has broken a new record when it comes to receiving UFO reported sightings. If UFOs or something else, this is what is being worked out at this time. On New Years Eve The Vike Report received and posted 32 reported sightings. Once up at 6:00 a.m. on New Years day, checked my email and there is a total of 87 more reports in the inbox. These are sighting reports. So in less than a 24 hour period, The Vike Factor has pulled in 119 sighting reports.

The reason why I am posting this note is to let the kind folks who sent in their reports to know we will be replying to them, it is going to take a little time having so many sightings to deal with.

I would like to thank everyone and wish you all a Happy New Year.

The Vike Factor.

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.
