The District of 100 Mile House has always been a special place for me. When I was a lot younger, I along with friends would drive to 100 Mile House to go fishing, hiking, etc. 

On one of those trips I ended up at Montana Lake Resort which was owned by a fellow who resided in from Vancouver, B.C. and was owner of a mill.

108 Mile House Ranch - Heritage Site In British Columbia (23 Pictures)

Above Photo: 105 Mile Ranch House.

From an earlier post I spoke about a trip my wife and I went on in early November 2015, we were traveling through a number of British Columbia communities and we stopped at the 108 Mile Ranch and Heritage Site. The heritage site I referred it to being one of 

British Columbia's gems, and it truly is.

When we stopped, it was the off season, so we were not able to tour through the buildings, but just stand looking at the buildings gives you that feeling from the past. The members of the 100 Mile and District Historical Society have out done themselves by putting together such an amazing display for us all. The hard work that has gone into building up of this site is truly remarkable.

UFO/Craft Estimated To Be Approximately One Mile Long In The Sky Over Tucson Arizona (Excellent Diagram)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

Date:  October 21, 2006 22:30 (Entered as : 10/21/06 22:30)
Time:  10:30 p.m.

Location:  Tucson, Arizona.
Shape:  Unknown.
Duration:  3-4 minutes.

Large object with multi color running light observed flying above Tucson Arizona.

Witness #1 (name deleted) XX year old male. Retired Police Officer. 4 Years USAF as Security Police. Currently runs (deleted) Company.

Witness #2 (female name deleted) XX year old female. Currently runs (deleted) Company

Witness #3 (name deleted) XX year old female. Attends (deleted)

At 2230 hrs this date, I (deleted) went to the front of my yard to walk towards a neighbor with the intent of checking on their dog since they were away on vacation. Our house lies in the Foothills (North Central) area of Tucson adjacent the Catalina Mountains.

I heard one of my dogs bark and I turned to look back at the house. Directly above the house I observed the object. The object was flying south to north. I would estimate that it was directly above I-10 (I-10 runs north and south) I-10 is approximately 7 miles due west of my House.

It was approximately 25 degrees above the horizon. I would estimate, and its only an estimate that from light to light would make the object at least one mile long.

My first thought was that the object (s) were in fact 3 objects strung out together and flying in formation. I assumed they were helicopters flying north. There is a Marine aviation base due north of us. Holding my hand at arms length in front of me, I would estimate object would have been (from running light to running light) 4-5 fingers in length.

The object at its southern point had one non-flashing light, in its approximately center was another non flashing red light, at its northern point were two lights, one which was white and non blinking and another light very close to the white light and it was red in color and blinking.

My wife exited the front door and I yelled at her to grab the binoculars and run out with them. This she complied with, retrieved the binoculars and she and (name deleted) came out to join me.

I brought the binoculars into focus and could see the object, which appeared to be moving fairly slow and continuing north. I could also ascertain that there was a darkened area between the 4 lights and that in fact these were not 3 separate objects. This horizontal area or structure did not appear to be very high but was flattened and "line" like.

I handed off the binoculars to both (name deleted) and (name deleted). We continued to watch the object as it continued north.

Approximately 3 minutes into the observation the object appeared to make a flight adjustment and it began turning into a northwest flight angle.

At this point and through the binoculars I could now see the rear end of the object. You could now see that it possessed 2 white lights in the rear of the structure.

It looked as though you were watching the rear end of a car that had two white running lights. The distance between the two rear light would be approximately 1 finger held up at arms length. The 3 other lights (red in the center, white and blinking red up from) were also still visible, but at more of an angle.

The front flashing red light was still visible. At all times the lights remained at a fixed distance from each other, the distance never varied as it would if you were watching a string of conventional aircraft struggling to maintain position relative to each other.

I was able to observe the object from its new flight path for approximately another minute to two minutes until it was lost over the horizon.

My wife and daughter told me (after object was gone) that while I was watching the object, and just before it was lost to sight, that the two of them observed a streaking object come into their field of view.

They were both facing west, as was I, when from their peripheral vision to their right, the object, apparently traveling east to west, caught their attention. They said the object was a fiery white in color, traveling parallel to the ground, and was between us and the Catalina Mountains. (The Catalinas are approximately one half mile North of our home and where we were standing. The Catalinas rise approx. 2900 feet above the valley floor, and my wife said that it was well below the tops of the mountain.

They went on to say that the object streaked toward the larger object (which was now disappearing). I asked them this question later if it was possible that it “merged” with the larger object, and they stated that it may have because that this smaller object streaked directly toward the larger one and also disappeared in the same general area.

The object appears to have corrected its flight path from when first viewed to the point that it turned northwest as I believe I-10 makes the same course adjustments. I believe the object was certainly following and flying directly above I-10, turning as I-10 turned, but I'm not completely sure of this.

I could not estimate its speed, but it was not flying very quickly, but I would guess that if these were in fact helicopters, it would appear to be about the same speed as a helicopter at that distance. There was no sound.

We contacted a nearby neighbor (too late for him to see it), but as we talked in the driveway he related to me that during a ball game this evening, the crowds were witnessing many strange lights in the night skies, he didn't elaborate.

My many thanks to D. Baker for the report and excellent diagram.

Blue UFOs/Missing Time Between 100 Mile House And Clinton British Columbia (Written Report/Audio Interview)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files 

Date:  March 7, 1993
Time:  Approximately 6:25 p.m.

I talked with a nice lady who wanted to make a report of what she saw. She is living in Clinton, B.C. and drove to 100 mile House for her grandson's third birthday. After her day with her family it was 6:25 p.m. when the lady left to drive back home to Clinton.

The woman told me she planned to drive straight through, not stopping along the way. She was approximately 10 miles north of Clinton where the highway elevation is relatively high, when she witnessed a brilliant blue light hovering down in the meadow beside the highway. The light was so bright it lit up the entire area around it.

The woman told me she didn't know what to think at that time and just continued towards home. The witness never got to drive much further when she saw three more blue lights shaped in a V pattern hovering off to the side of the highway and up the bank just ahead of her vehicle.

She drove by the lights, baffled at what they might be, and the next thing the lady remembered was pulling into the small community where she resides. When she thought about her experience she realized that she had somehow lost 40 minutes. She could not account for the missing time.

The witness also commented that she felt rather unusual after she arrived home, but never thought a lot about it at that moment..

Two days after witnessing the blue lights she drove back to 100 Mile House and along the way she kept her eyes peeled to see if there was a home, or some other structure that may have caused the lights that she saw. There didn't appear to be anything man made that could have created the lights.

Some days later the woman talked with a fellow who also saw the blue lights around the same location.

Then the following week the local newspaper ran an article about blue lights seen by others over 108 Mile.

Now knowing a few others had seen the same lights, she drove around to some of the farms asking the folks if they too, might have been witness to anything at the time and date the lights were observed. The lady had no luck finding anyone else.

Thank you to the person for their report.

Fast Moving Star Like Object Seen Over Mile End Greater London UK

 

Date:  November 25, 2010

Time:  7:18 p.m.

 

Number of witnesses: 1

Shape of Objects: Star like.

 

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I went onto my balcony to have a cigarette and just happened to look up. I saw a what looked like a star, and I noticed it moving.

 

It was fairly cloudy and overcast, however not windy at all. The star moved in a very slight zig-zagged forward motion through a gap in the clouds and then through another, further north from the last.

 

It had no trail and looked bright just like a star. I live not far from an airport and see planes go past all the time and this was far too far away to have been a plane.

 

I am perplexed to say the least. I am searching the internet for some explanation which is how I found this site. It is now too overcast to see anything, but it was moving too quickly for it to still be there. What on earth was it?

Mile Long White/Blue Cigar Shaped UFO Over Winnipeg Manitoba

 

Date:  May 25, 2011

Time:  8:30 p.m.

 

You mentioned if anyone else saw anything similar to the story I just read on your site, that you would like to know. Here it is. Winnipeg last night at exactly 8:30 pm May 25, 2011 I was outside in my back yard "Elmwood area". I was watching the planes doing rounds over my area which in its self was odd. 

 

I noticed way up, miles overhead to the south that there was a huge cigar shaped object it appeared to be 1+ miles long and was glowing white/blue, it was moving extremely fast horizontally from west to east. It was in view for approximately 3 minutes then disappeared.

 

There was no trail behind it. There was 4 of us at home at the time and we all agreed that it was not a plane or a satellite. A few friends have suggested that maybe it was that Russian plane that's visiting Winnipeg, but I can discount that as that Russian plane was one of the planes doing round overhead and it was above Winnipeg, not South of Winnipeg.

 

I contacted the Winnipeg planetarium and they will be getting back to me. Thank-you.

Quarter Of A Mile Wide Black Boomerang UFO Over Howland Township Ohio

Date: Fall/Winter 1979/80 or 1982/83 (?)
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Boomerang.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was visiting my parents in Ohio and had gone to Eastwood Mall and stayed there shopping until it closed. I drove home on Rt. 46 going north and was at an intersection called "Howland Corners" Rt 46 and "old 82" when I saw it.

The apex of the boomerang was pointed east and was south of old 82 pointed toward the Youngstown-Sharon airport. It appeared massive, as in a quarter of a mile wide or more. It was black against the sky and completely silent. I am very analytical and do not believe in space ships.

I believed it was a projection of some kind, but it was a starry night and I could not see the stars through it. Plus there were no clouds in the sky, so what could it be projecting upon? I noted three white lights spaced evenly on the bottom of it that appeared large.

They were not flashing or flickering, but did have a glare. The outline of the thing was solid. I thought it could be military. The airport was just east of Avalon Country Club where we grew up ice skating on the ponds there and where my brothers worked. So I turned east on old 82 and "drove beside it" as it slowly moved eastward.

It was behind the huge trees a few times as I drove, but I would catch sight of it through the openings. I assumed it would fly over the airport and somehow be small enough to hover down to the runways, but as I turned north onto the road in front of the airport, it disappeared suddenly.

I mean it just wasn't there anymore. I drove around looking for it for a couple minutes. Afterwards, I dismissed it completely because the incident didn't fit my Christian World View. I still wonder what it was.

Massive Mile Wide UFO One Thousand Feet From The Ground Over Sydney Nova Scotia

Date: July 2001

Time: 2:30 a.m.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: At 2:30 in the morning, my best friend and I had just walked outside for a cigarette. We sat side by side on the curb and chatted for a few minutes, when we noticed a flash in the sky. We both looked up and seen something that to this day neither of us could explain.

A massive UFO that spanned at least a mile in width. It was from my estimation, only 1,000 feet off the ground and it lit up the sky. There were five massive lights on the object. Each light approximately the size of a school bus. The lights flashed from both ends to the center. The light almost looked like a glowing fluid that moved in waves.

We were shocked! It hovered in one spot for at least 5 minutes. During this time my friend and I were trying to come up with an explanation for what we were seeing. There was only one explanation, a UFO. Suddenly, the object flew straight up into, what had to be space and hooked off in a westerly direction and disappeared into, behind the star. We were both speechless.

Only after it was gone, did we realize that it had made no noise what so ever. To this day I feel haunted by what we seen and have become increasingly obsessed with finding the proof, that... We are not Alone.

Mile Wide UFO Seen Over New Jersey/Pennsylvania Border Near Philadelphia

Date: April 13, 2008

Time: 3:45 a.m.

Location of Sighting: New Jersey/Pennsylvania Border Near Philadelphia.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Huge craft with 4 bright beaming lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Late one night, I saw a craft with four bright beaming solid lights descend from a higher altitude and come to a stand still just this side of the Delaware River. It was all lit up with four lights running laterally across the center, there were two white and two orange lights.

It stayed motionless, the distance away at 1500 feet. It resembled the sketch of the Stephenville, Texas craft reported earlier that year. it also resembled, as seen from behind, the flashing red and green lights of the Stephenville videos, which I had seen on a quiet December 24, 2001 night very close to the spot of the present sighting.

It beamed down to the ground a brilliant white searchlight. There was no helicopter seen or heard at that one block distance. Eventually it shut off the light, and veered toward New Jersey flashing red and green lights, just like the ones seen in the Stephenville and Kokomo sighting videos. Identification? Flying saucer about 1 mile wide and 1/2 mile high seen by me at 1,500 feet hovering.

Lights Coming And Going Out Of Mile Long UFO Over Whistler British Columbia

Date: September 14, 2010
Time: Evening.

Location of Sighting: Whistler British Columbia.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Oval.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My girlfriend and I were sat on the deck looking at the stars, there were barely any clouds that night. She saw a glowing green/blue oval object almost straight above us. It seemed extremely high, above the cloud height, more at airplane cruising altitude. It glowed like anything glow-in-the-dark would, but this must have been a mile long at least.

The glowing flickered now and again, and some times disappeared altogether. After 5 minutes we noticed it seemed to be moving slowly SW (slower than a plane would move across the sky), and a small light exited out of the object, smaller than a star, but still just visible and flew downwards left then right and disappeared behind a mountain to the north of us.

Another couple of times lights either emerged or returned back to the main glowing object, which curiously enough, at this point it only lit up when one of the smaller lights left it or returned to it, then faded out again to black.

It lasted about 20 minutes altogether, I can't explain it, it looked like a zeppelin, but glowed strangely and was far to big at that altitude, and the lights coming out of it moved too quick for it to be any plane or flying manmade object.

Mile Long Cigar Shaped UFO Over Interlake Manitoba Winnipeg Beach Area

Date: August 29, 2010
Time: 8:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Interlake Manitoba (Winnipeg Beach Area).
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Long (cigar shaped).

Full Description of Event/Sighting: On Sunday August 29, 2010 my daughter and I were outside on our deck, when she noticed something in the sky. She pointed it out to me, I then called my husband to see it. The object was climbing into the sky and very large, relative size about a yard.

Actual size maybe a mile long. Object was a white-orange colour. No blinking lights and no exhaust. Object was coming from over the trees, but very far away. We could see it climbing into the sky very clearly because of the size.

We watched object for about 10-15 minutes until we could no longer see it. The object came from the west and went north after it had passed the cloud line. I have not seen anything this close to the earth or this large before. I have noticed other objects in the sky before and they all are heading north, curious isn't it.

Blue And Green Ball Of Light Over Six Mile Run Pennsylvania

Date: January 18, 2010
Time: Evening.

Mr. Vike, My fiancé and I were walking Monday evening and saw the ball of light that you described. My fiancé saw it a few seconds before I did and he said he saw blue and green colors before it turned a yellow color. I saw the yellow ball of light before it disappeared. We couldn't believe our eyes and I wondered if anyone else saw it. When I got to work I told a friend and she looked on the internet and found your article. We live in Six Mile Run, PA.

It's about 10 miles from the town of Saxton and approximately 15 miles from Breezewood. According to the Baltimore Sun, there were several sightings in Maryland. It's amazing to think we were in the right place at the right time to see a rare occurrence such as this.

Sasquatch Blood Curdling Shrieking Near 100 Mile House British Columbia

Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, the recent Sasquatch reports have motivated me to tell you of an event from many years ago.

This is a story that has been told by my father.

The trip from Prince George B.C. to Vancouver B.C. is a long one, about 500 miles. Sixty-five years ago it probably seemed even longer. That was when it was still a gravel road and had few tunnels and few bridges. Even now it is an empty part of the Province.

During the summer of 1941 my father, a school teacher, wanted to go to Vancouver from Prince George. No money and no car meant the best way to travel was by bicycle. He found a friend who was willing to make the ride with him and off they went. The combination of different riding skills, stamina and quality of bike meant that much of the time they were many miles apart, so sometimes dad was riding alone.

Because of the heat during the day, they often rode at night. Early summer nights are short so far north so it was never very dark. The northern sky was always light.

The adventures and incidents that he experienced are interesting and funny, except one. This took place not far from 100 Mile House. Now most of the Cariboo is covered with trees but in those days much of it was open rolling grasslands . What trees there were appeared mainly around lake edges and in the folds of the hills.

Dad had been riding alone for most of the evening. A flat tire had slowed dad some and his friend was well ahead of him. By the time the sky was as dark as it was going to get, everything was silent. The only sound was from his bicycle tires on the loose gravel.

Suddenly the night exploded in sound. It was a shrieking screeching undulating howl like nothing he had ever heard before. He'd heard the expression of "blood turning to ice". Now he knew just what that meant. Dad was not unfamiliar with the outdoors. He'd heard the sound of owls catching prey, cougars, moose, elk and bears. This was different. His reaction was to get out of there! But which way? The sound was coming from all around him. When he saw faint movement in a nearby clump of trees he'd just passed, he took a guess that he should go the opposite direction, which was also the way he was heading. And he did, as fast as he could pedal. As suddenly as it started the sound stopped. Again there was no sound but the tires on the gravel going much faster this time!

A few valleys later he caught up to his friend, who had heard nothing.

Eventually dad decided he must have heard a moose bouncing several times off a fence wire, or something. However he was never comfortable with that explanation.

At the time he was not very aware of a creature called a Sasquatch although he had seen the newspaper photo of a live one captured near Yale in the Fraser Canyon (never have managed to find out what happened with it). He can't remember if that was before or after his bike ride.

About thirty years later I was living and working in the 100 Mile House area. A co-worker who was an avid outdoors man asked if I would work his shift for him one weekend. He and his buddies wanted to go on a fishing and camping weekend at an isolated back woods lake a couple of hours out of town. They left Friday and surprisingly were back just after sunrise Saturday. Apparently they had reached the lake, set up camp and sat around a campfire for a while before turning in.

They did not stay up late as they wanted to be up early for the fishing. Sometime after they had settled for the night an incredible howl had them all out of bed and looking at each other in astonishment. Although they were all hunters and fishermen none of them had ever heard a sound like that before. It seemed to becoming from the far side of the lake. Suddenly it stopped. Half an hour later they heard it again but this time it was much closer to the end of the lake and therefore closer to their campsite. A few minute later it screeched again, this time even closer.

So these four men not only packed up and left, they were not ashamed to admit it!

He described the sound to me, undulating, screeching, howling, blood chilling. It sounded so much like what my father had described, I told him about it.

Dad just got a funny look on his face and said" I never really did think that what I heard was a moose running into a fence!" .

Hope you get more reports. Central B.C. is still so empty there could be lots of interesting things out there!

Thank you to the family member for relating the Dad's experiences.

Also The Vike Factor has started to add Sasquatch/Bigfoot sighting reports to a new blog, (http://bigfoot-sasquatch.blogspot.com/) also of course they can be found on the main Vike Factor Blog as well.
