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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Approximately 10 Orange Triangles Over Westwood Thompson Manitoba

Date: Late August 2011
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Hello, I was looking for the newspaper article about UFO sightings over Thompson and found your link. On December 24th my whole family saw the same thing. I live in Westwood and the objects were right above my house and within 10 seconds they were gone!

They were exactly as you explained, thank god I found someone that saw the same thing!

Additional Information:

Oh, Thompson Manitoba, Westwood is a place in the city.

And then only a few days ago I was playing video games in my basement at around 11:00pm, I have a eerie feeling I was being watched, so I went to close my blinds and looked out the window towards the east and I saw once again the same thing I saw in December, but this time there were at least 10 orange triangles moving at a high rate of speed, and they were not planes because the were moving from side to side almost.

I could see them well from about 2 km away, I called my friend over and by the time he arrived, he ran over to look, but they were gone again. I still have the chills as I type this to you.

Soundings - UFOs Over Thompson: The Truth Is Out There

January 12, 2011

John Barker

Some stories just seem to always strike a chord with readers. Near the top of the list has to be UFO stories. Readers (not to mention journalists) find them irresistible. So when Kimberly Wavey sent us an e-mail during the early hours of Boxing Day saying she saw "three unexplained reddish orange lights in a triangle" Christmas Eve at 7:47 p.m. in the night sky over Thompson, it was like manna falling from heaven during an otherwise slow news week between Christmas and New Years.

V Shape Of Five Red Lights Over Thompson Manitoba

Date: December 31, 2010
Time: 9:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Thompson, Manitoba.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of Objects: 5
Shape of Objects: Circles, same size as stars.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was letting my dog out the backdoor to pee when I saw 5 red lights in the sky. They were in a V shape and all equally spaced apart, as in formation. I called everyone outside to come see and we watched as the two lights at the bottom of the V began to move left and right respectively, then the two middle lights each sped off left and right, much faster than the first two.

The last light at the top of the V remained and circled around for another minute before vanishing.

Bright Objects Over Thompson Manitoba

Date: January 3, 2011

Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Thompson, MB, Canada.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi there, earlier this morning, my sister and I were upstairs in the bedroom. We were looking out the window, when we noticed a bright round object in the sky, pointing south. The object was changing color. It would go from blue to green, then from red to yellow. We watched for about a minute before my boyfriend came home, and joined us.

We saw three objects now. The three of us were trying to wrap our heads around these things. They formed a direct triangle, and they were slowly, but surely moving away from each other. The brightest object started out right above the house across the street from mine, and now, 2 hours later, it is no where to be seen.

The other two objects, were very faint, but you could tell that they weren't stars. They were a reddish orange color, and they seemed to be moving outwards from the brightest one, which was at the point of the triangle. We watched them for about another 30 minutes, and they were still slowly moving out of sight. I managed to get a few videos, and a picture, which I will send to you as soon as I can.

Numerous Eyewitnesses Observe Orange/Red Lights Over Thompson Manitoba – (Case Solved Hot Air Balloons/Lanterns) Pictures

On December 24, 2010 eyewitnesses reported seeing orange/red lights traveling overhead in the sky at Thompson Manitoba.

People wondered what in the heck these lights were, no explanation was found until one person saw the lights, and watched as one of them happened to fall out of the sky and into the snow.

Below is an email I received from the fellow and pictures he was kind enough to send of the object.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I seen the same lights as did a lot of people that I know and they are nothing but Chinese lanterns. One came down and landed in the Snow in the same area where we looking at the lights that night around 8:00 p.m.

Left Photo: For a larger view of the balloon/Chinese lantern, please click on the picture.

There were about 5 of us when this happened. I’m going to my Mom’s at lunch to see if the lantern is still in my garage. I can send it to you if you like!

It was kind of chewed up because her “dog” got a hold of it, but it was a Lantern.

Brian Vike wishes to thank all of the eyewitnesses who filed their sighting reports to him, and he would also like to thank the fellow who was kind enough to send along the pictures of the lantern/balloon which was the cause of all the excitement in Thompson Manitoba.

Left Photo: For a larger view of the balloon/Chinese lantern, please click on the picture.

Below is a report from one of the witnesses, all the other sighting reports were similar.

Now the pictures I just pasted into different areas in the report, but they all came from the fellow who watched one of the lanterns drop from the sky.

4 Orange Red Balls Of Light Over Thompson Manitoba

Date: December 24, 2010
Time: Evening.

Tonight, December 24, 2010, My mom, her friend and her husband and I, and others on our street saw 4 Orange/reddish balls of light above Thompson Manitoba. They were heading northeast. We could tell that they were not planes, they moved at different paces at different times, and seemed to change altitude greatly within 5-10 seconds, they went up much higher. They seemed to travel a large distance in 2-3 seconds. Nothing that I have every seen a normal aircraft to do.

Left Photo: For a larger view of the balloon/Chinese lantern, please click on the picture.

They first appear when we came home from church, only one at first, we thought it was a star, maybe Mars. When we got out, a neighbor pointed out that there was more. 4 to be exact. As they moved, they got smaller, when they got smaller, they seemed to slow, as if gaining height. Within a minute, they disappeared, One by one.

We couldn't explain it, so I searched for an answer.

This happened less than an hour ago.

That you for your time. If you have any answers, or ideas, please contact me back.

Ten Bright Strange Lights Which Looked To Have Metallic Wings Over Thompson Manitoba

Date: December 31, 2010

Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.

On New Year’s Eve my boyfriend and I were driving to a friend’s place at about 2130 hrs. local. Suddenly I saw approximately ten bright, strange lights in the sky flying north west over the city of Thompson. The lights seem to be reflecting on some sort of metallic wings. We stopped the truck and got out to watch, they looked to be changing altitude at a very high speed.

Some of them faded out of sight and others changed into what seemed to be squares shaped objects that floated in the sky. These shapes then moved in all directions, up, down, left, right finally one zoomed northwest and disappeared. I have watched air traffic over Thompson for the 20 years that I have lived here and cannot compare this event to anything I have ever seen.

My boyfriend is ex-military and has nothing to compare this sighting with, we truly feel this was a real UFO sighting. I have heard other people saying they saw UFO’s over Thompson and honestly thought they were a little off their rocker. I don’t think that anymore!

Four Orange Red Balls Of Light Over Thompson Manitoba

Date: December 24, 2010

Time: Evening.

Hi Brian, there were actually 5 lights, each the size of a bright red star, that appeared for approximately 2 minutes. It kind of looked like the base of the big dipper shifted locations in the sky, when the lady I'm with and myself observed the objects moving in the sky.

We have no idea what they were, but tried to rationalize them as something like a group of helicopters, or other aircraft able to hover and shift locations in the sky quickly.

Though I do have my doubts that something can move that quickly in the sky when I later observed the speed of a commercial plane in the sky (it wasn't close to what these things did.) Anyways, it must be something rational like 5 air force jets flying a Operation Santa Claus practice flight.

Thompson does have a radar observation dome that monitors the sky. I'm sure there's a record of these aircrafts being there. I'm going to attempt to look into it when I return to work.

Reddish Orange Lights In The Shape Of A Triangle Over Thompson Manitoba (Other Sightings)

Date: December 24, 2010
Time: 7:47 p.m.

I live in Thompson Manitoba Canada and on December 24, 2010 at 7:47 my boyfriend came running into the house yelling at us to come look at the sky. When my mom and I got out there, I seen 3 reddish orange lights in a triangle. They looked the same size as the stars. Then after about a minute the middle light fell and faded, then the first light faded. I ran inside to grab some binoculars and when I got outside the last light wasn't there.

This is how my boyfriend explains what he seen before I got out there.

"Well first there were five lights in the distance that could've been confused with something else, then with great speed they were almost right above me, and I could see the lights in the front that formed a triangle while the lights in the back seem to fade and it seemed like it was cloaked, like there was something I wasn't fully seeing."

There were 4 others who seen the lights besides the 4 of us. Some of them saying they seen them around 7:00pm. So I'm guessing they were hanging around for awhile.

But Thompson is a small town and these lights were pretty noticeable. I wouldn't doubt more people seen the lights or even got video and pictures!

This is all 2 weeks prior to a sighting 4 hours away on December 10, 2010.
Two hours north of Bird AKA Fox Lake Manitoba Canada the engineers on the train seen blue and green lights hovering over or off to the side of the tracks. Then shined really bright lights over the train and lit up the surroundings, they reported also seeing red, blue and green lights before it shot up in the sky. It messed up their satellite signals and the train couldn’t move for couple hours. Passengers and conductors saw it too.

And in 2006 on another website (not sure which still searching) There is a report of an upside down cup UFO sighting by a Dam near Fox Lake.
