this morning (April,30/03)at approx 2:30 a.m. I observed a very peculiar light in the sky. It was to the south and at first was about 40 degrees up. At first glance it looked like a star but it looked to be changing colors from a green/blue to red. (similar to a jetliner's lights) At this point I assumed it was a planet. Then I noticed that it was moving in a sporadic fashion (dipping and moving right and left) something I've never seen. I thought I was hallucinating so I woke up my girlfriend who also observed it's bizarre movements in the sky. The speed it was moving was tremendous as it dipped and moved left to right. We watched it for about 40 minutes and then it started dimming until it was gone. Oddly enough this is the 2nd time in 3 months that I've seen the exact same thing. The first time I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me so the 2nd time I awoke my girlfriend so that I knew I wasn't going crazy.

I looked to the west as my mom was driving me home from work and I saw a red flashing light just to the left of the mountains. It was flashing consistently and sitting in one spot. I told my mother to stop the car as we were on a back road that had little traffic. I rolled down my window and looked the red light. We noticed that it would move south horizontally in little spurts, but mostly stayed in one spot. We drove home and I walked out into the road to see if we could see it from there. I could just see it over the roof of a house, and my mom was standing a bit farther over and she was watching it as well with no obstruction. I noticed the light drop down a bit, beyond my view, and I thought I had slouched or something, so I stood up a bit straighter, but the light dropped down again. I moved over to where my mom was standing, and we observed it clearly. It was staying in one place again. My mother went to go unlock the door of the house, so I was left alone to watch it. Suddenly a bright flash of light came from about the same place I'd initially seen the red light when we were driving. My mom had noticed the flash, and she said it looked like a plane, but it didn't happen again until a few seconds later, closer to the (then) current location of the red light. The white flash didn't happen again while I was observing the sky. I looked back at the red light and I saw that it had faded a bit, and the flashing wasn't as brilliant. At this time, I went inside, so I'm not sure if it remained there, or if the white flash happened again after I left.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke at length with this witness, and she seemed quite lucid, and credible, to us. Her description of the lights she witnessed did not seem to us to be consistent with the erratic strobe pattern of a typical helicopter. PD)).

Toll Free Hotline

I received a telephone call from a Terrace, B.C. resident using the toll free hotline, he wanted to report a strange sighting he witnessed on May 9, 2003. It was a cloud-ness night and this witness was walking from the north end of his property towards his home and was looking at the night sky, viewing the northeastern part of the sky he noticed a strange, small, out of place light. As the witness watched the light, it began to grow in size, and grew in brightness by the second. Within 5 to 6 seconds the light went from being the approx: size and brightness of a star to approx: double the size of the moon. The light, or object was traveling  at a very high altitude heading toward the southwest and at this point straight over top of him, still at a high altitude. After the light/object had disappeared from the fellows sight, another strange light showed up some 5 minutes later.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

On May 10, 2003 at 10:55 p.m. a witness living in Terrace, B.C. was outside burning wood in a barrel, his girlfriend had left to go inside. The witness was sitting on a bench watching the fire when he looked up into the southwestern part of the sky and saw a small white colored light heading to the northeast. The light was rather bright and traveling quickly. He viewed the light for approx: 15 seconds, it blinked a couple of times while he watched it before it finally disappeared.

Three witnesses

I received a call from a woman who reported that her and two other witnesses who were on Ferry Island at the Ferry Island campground when they saw the weirdest thing happening in the sky above them, or over Ferry Island. She told me that they watched a number of funny colored lights (blue/red/yellow/white) traveling in their direction from the north. What made this a strange looking sight was that the lights seemed to pulsate, and only the white lights on the object grew very bright in intensity, and the other colored lights stayed at the same brightness. As the object drew closer to their location it seemed as if the lights, in a ring, surrounded a dark solid object which was in the center. From the glow off the lights they noted the dark object in the center was completely round in shape, with this ring of colored lights running around it. The object moved very quickly across the sky heading south. The approx length of the sighting lasted about 10 seconds before they lost sight of it due to the trees. She said it traveled in a straight line and up rather high in the sky, but low enough to catch a good look at it. No sound was heard coming from it and no tail was observed.

HBCC UFO Note: Last year in 2002 I had a similar sighting report come in from two Arrow truck drivers who were carrying concentrate ore from the mine here in Houston, B.C. Two trucks had pulled over to the side of the highway for 10 minutes at Meziadin Junction to watch an object which sounds like the same thing here in the report above.

Thank you to the witnesses for their report.

Houston, British Columbia

Date: Mid April, 2003
Time: Approx: 3:15 a.m.

I received a report from a witness (today - May 17, 2003) who resides in Houston, B.C.. One witness on his way to the Huckleberry Mine outside of Houston. At approx: 70 kilometers south from town he saw a multi colored object sitting in one position in the distance a head of him. He said to me that he thought it was a bright star due to it twinkling different colors. But after a second or two he thought it could not be that as it was totally over cast. The fellow said he had some extra time before he had to be at his work place, so he stopped and watched the lights for approx: 4 to 6 minutes before it dropped down suddenly behind a mountain. He also claims that the lights dropped "straight" down rather quickly. Because he was at a distance from it, he certainly could not hear any sounds coming from the thing. The lights/object did not make any sudden movements, it just sat in the one position before disappearing behind the mountain. In the area there are no towers, or anything else which would cause any strange lighting. The area in question is very rugged and wild.

HBCC UFO Note: When the chap was telling me the story, I first thought it may have been a star also, but after hearing it was a overcast night/morning and hearing that the lights/object dropped quickly straight down behind a mountain, I kind of ruled out this sighting as being a star. Whatever it was, it left an impression on the guy.

Thank you to the witness for his report.

Houston, British Columbia

Date: March 15, 2003 (The date is in question).
Time: approx: 10:50 p.m.
Local phone Call.

I recently was contacted and told about a sighting of a triangular shaped object. This took place in Houston, British Columbia "around March 15, 2003". From what I gather this object/craft is being seen by a number of people over a two month stretch and up to just recently. The family who reported this sighting, said they were caught off guard by what they witnessed. A low and slow flying triangular shaped craft cruised from the east to the west from the direction of Mount Harry Davis and continued on it's flight path over the mountains towards Grouse Mountain and the Smithers area. The object in the triangle shape was more long than wide, and very large in size. Also there were a number of lights which ran along the underside of it, and close to the outer edge, but rather dim.  It was completely silent and dark in color. From the witnesses vantage point from their home they guessed it took the object approx: 15 to 20 seconds before it went out of their line of sight.

HBCC UFO Note: I visited this family on the same day I met with the other folks who witnessed and reported their sighting, which was of a flying "C". Both the C shaped object and this triangle sighting come from the same area, but on different farms just west of town. Once again we have some very credible older folks who could not figure out what it was they saw. They also told me, they see a number of small aircraft, plus the commercial airlines that fly overhead heading towards the Smithers airport. But they certainly told me they have never seen anything like this before in all of the years they have lived here.

Something else I have found most interesting, is that a lot of residents are chatting with me about what their friends, or a family member has seen in 2002 and 2003. And I mean a large number of sightings. I have not reported on these as I have not been able to get the actual witness to speak with me over what they saw. So I know I am missing a bunch of reports.

This is the quick/short report on this sighting. Also this has me caught up on all reports to date.

Houston, British Columbia

Date:  approx: April 20th to the 24th
Time:  10:30 p.m.
The below sighting I believe ties in with the report for April 21, 2003 and located at:
http://www3.telus.net/public/wilbur8/bc_2003_2.htm  (Scroll down page for report).

I talked with a witness twice, but today ( May 21, 2003) I received the rest of the story on the sighting the two witnesses had which took place between April 20th and the 24th. I was very interested to see what the exact date would have been for their sighting, as I had a good report come into me of a large triangular craft which was seen approx: 2 kilometers east of Houston, B.C. on April 21, 2003. The witness I chatted with today was not completely sure of the exact date her and her husband witnessed, but it could have been on April 21, 2003.

I telephoned the witness I met today ( May 21, 2003) and made arrangements to meet at their home to discuss what it was they saw. This sighting took place approx: 8 minutes west of Houston. These folks, who I can say are very credible people and have a beautiful home sitting on a large parcel of land. The view they have of the surrounding area is really something. They also have a great view of the Telkwa mountain range where so many strange lights/objects have been seen.

We sat down and she proceeded to tell me the details of what was seen that night. The couple had already put their young children to bed earlier, and they were getting themselves ready for bed when the wife went to close their bedroom curtains when she saw a tight cluster of lights just sitting stationary in the sky, and not very far from their farm. The formation of lights also were not that high in the sky. She called to her husband to come and have a look with her, and he also was shocked at what he was seeing and could not figure out what the lights were. He proceeded to go and grab his binoculars and they both took turns viewing the lights. As they now had a better, and closer look at the lights, I was told that although it was dark, they could see a shape to the object. It looked like the letter "C", but with lights on the outside, or the curved surface of the object. The colors of the lights went from a yellow/white, red and green. Another interesting thing about the lights were that each light took it's turn growing in brightness. This continued on for some time while the object sat in the one position. They also told me that the object did not move from it's position. The sighting lasted for approx: 20 to 30 minutes. (HBCC UFO Note: Due to the length of time the object/lights sat in the one position, I wondered if it could have been bright stars they may have been observing, but they told me that they told me whatever it was, was sitting far to low, and pretty close to their location. Both of them thought the object may have been hovering over highway #16, or at least close to it which is not far from their farm. Also other objects in the sky did move slightly (stars) and this object did not move as they had it lined up with a popular tree on their farm). They did open the window to see if any sound could be heard coming from it, but nothing. I also asked if they noticed any kind of reactions coming from the pets they have, and none was noted. Object/lights seen in the southwesterly portion of the night sky.

After watching this for a while, they closed over the curtains and went to bed, but having this still on their mind the wife got up and peeked out the window shortly after they settled in for the night and the object was gone. She told me this really frightened her, now wondering what it was they were looking at. I am sure many or all will not remember a sighting back in August 23, 2002 of a HUGE object in which these same folks witnessed, and captured on video. Not a half hour after she shot the video, and doing the rest of the dishes, she noticed another object and again caught this on tape. And I have viewed the tapes, and have them both here with me. So these local residents are seeing some strange things here in Houston, B.C.

Thank you to the witnesses for their report.
Computer images, maps, etc.. of this object will be posted to my website soon.

Getting ready to go to sleep, my friend's mom comes running upstairs telling us to come outside. We look up and up in the sky, 3 (dots) in the form of a perfect right triangle heading south-east over our house. The top two were about a thumb's length apart and the other one just hung down a little farther, moving in perfect unison. I want to say they were stars because if you look at them for too long it began to get harder to see. But stars don't move in unison and in the shape of a right triangle. Marguerite, Chris, Amelia and myself all saw the same thing. A photo was taken, we're not sure if it will work out, it's an automatic camera, and what we saw was soooo far away, most likely wouldn't show up.
We're not positive of how long it lasted, we lost vision after about 5 mins because of the speed, about the same speed as a satellite.

Local call:
Two witnesses:

A Houston, B.C. resident phoned and reported that he and a friend watched a steady bright white light fly rather quickly over the edge of the town of Houston, B.C. ( 1 kilometer east of my home) at a low altitude (approx: 6 thousand feet - one of the witnesses is a pilot himself). The light was heading in an easterly direction. There was no tail seen trailing the object. The also added that the light would have been twice as bright as the planet Venus. The sighting lasted for about 5 to 6 seconds.

Time:  1:30 a.m.
Local call.
5 witnesses
Boomerang shaped craft:

On June 5, 2003 at 1:30 a.m. I received a telephone call, in which I missed by seconds. A witness was trying to get a hold of me, to inform me that if I jumped into my vehicle and headed west out of town (Houston) I would have been able to witness the object they were all watching.

The witness telephoned me again this morning at 8:15 a.m. and filed her report. I also talked with others who also witnessed this object. I am just about to do the weekly radio spot with  CJFW FM, plus I did a an interview a while ago with CFBV FM for their news. I will be requesting if other folks had observed this object that they contact me. Also the witness mentioned they would have never called me that early in the morning if they weren't sure of what they were seeing, and being so strange. Plus as I said above, if I would have hurried out the door I would have seen it for myself, so the witnesses said.

A few minutes drive west of Houston, five witnesses watched a huge object move silently and low over the tree line.

Just before 1:30 a.m. the witness woke up as she heard her youngest child get up. As the Mom made her way through their home, she walked by one of the windows and saw a very bright light/object. As she stared at it, she noticed that it was moving very slowly and was of an enormous size. She told me she screamed for her husband to get out of bed, which he did. Because of all the commotion the parents were making, their other two children got up to see what was going on. One of the youngster said, "what is that big flashlight doing in the sky"?

The folks who were watching the object said, there had to have been others who saw it, due to it's size, brightness and rate of speed. Also they noted they could hear freight liners traveling on the highway at the time of their sighting.

The witnesses described the object as being boomerang in shape with a massive white/yellow glow around it. There were large bright light white lights in the center of the object. They heard not a sound from it, also the dogs took no notice of it. The sighting lasted approx: 3 minutes and disappeared behind the tree line and towards the southwest.

After the event was over, the Mom had a problem in getting back to sleep as what she saw frightened her very much.

Vancouver, British Columbia

Date: June 16, 2003
Time: 11:05 p.m.
email report:

I think I saw a UFO over Vancouver city on June 16th at 11:05 p.m. I came home from work and was closing my blinds on my window that faces North and I saw a single blue light traveling very slow towards the east. Then it got slower and slower, almost a complete stop, that's when I opened my window to see if I could hear any sound and I couldn't. Then it flashed a big bright white, yellowish light and made a sharp left turn and moved faster towards the North, the light fading as it moved. I lost sight of it over the high buildings in the downtown area. Do you know of any aircraft that has this kind of lighting and can move like that?
I would appreciate any information that you might have.

Update: 1. I should tell you that I first spotted it when I was in a taxi cab on my way home from work.  I just glance up and saw this blue light and before I could take a better look we took a turn and It was above us so the roof of the cab blocked the view. It was just above Granville bridge as high as a small plane that's why I took it to be a plane and didn't think about again until I came home and saw it again through my window and it was moving from the west going towards the east.

2. I remember really taking a good look at this light moving and trying to make out any shape against the dark sky and thought that I did see something besides this light like a shape but couldn't make it out and it also seemed to have a very tiny faint light in front of the blue light but I'm not sure about that  I would say I watched it for about 7 seconds before it turned bright and turned, then another 5 seconds watching it fade and move towards the North.

3. Yes I would say pea size when blue but it expanded when it flashed bright and at that time it would be dime size and then back to pea size when it move away.

4. Altitude would be the same as a small plane. The same altitude of the planes when the Symphony of fireworks are here. Ten thousand feet?

5.  No one else was with me in my apartment at the time and when I was in the cab I didn't ask the cab driver to look because he was driving and I thought it was a plane. Surely someone else in the downtown area saw it too. People on their balconies facing it would see it but would they say report it? I don't know.

I heard of you through the internet from links. You are the most local I think. Do you know of a reporting place in the city of Vancouver? If  I do see anything I would really like to know what it is I'm seeing.  I do believe their is something strange going on because of all the reports of sightings all over the world therefore I tend to take notice of the sky when I'm out, be a little more aware.  This is not the first time I've seen something strange in the sky. I now want to report it because I want to know if anyone else saw something. I am intrigued and would like to know what it is. How can you not be?

Thanks.


Terrace, British Columbia

Date:  June 24, 2003
Time: approx: 10:20 a.m.

I received a telephone call from a witness at 9:10 a.m., June 27, 2003. A man reported to me that he and his wife were just heading out for a couple of days fishing trip at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. They were just outside of Terrace, B.C.  driving on highway #16 along the Skeena River heading west when the man's wife gave out a yell for him to look up and towards the south. The gentleman said it took a couple of seconds before his brain kicked in, thinking what he was looking at was very unusual. He pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and both watched an egg shaped object hovering over the south side of the river at approx: 1000 feet. They mentioned it was approx: the size of a pick-up truck, shiny silver in color. It was completely smooth, or no seams on the object were visible. "Witness expressed: it looked like an egg"!! (he laughed and said they must grow large chickens in Canada).

They did not hear any sounds coming from it. The sighting lasted for approx: 10 to 15 seconds before it sped off at an incredible rate of speed south. He also said that since it wasn't that early in the morning there were other vehicles passing them on the highway, and a couple of vehicles had slowed way down and they could been seen looking in the direction of the object. The witness said I know what normal aircraft look like, and this thing was not anything that I have ever seen before.

HBCC UFO Note: Of course I am looking for any others who were traveling the highway that morning in hopes they may have seen the same thing. The witnesses had heard me on the radio and from there looked me up.

Thank you to the witnesses for their report.

Surrey, British Columbia

Date:  April 27, 2003
Time:  10:15 p.m.
Looking out of my bedroom window on a clear night while laying on the bed with curtains drawn, I saw three hazy or blurry, almost faded white lights streak southward. They made no noise and left no trail. They were not common satellites and definitely not ordinary planes. The lights flew in unison but were not in geometric order. Two were in close proximity to each other while one flew slightly southwest of the other two. They seemed to be increasing velocity.

Thanks to UFO*BC for the report.


Burnaby, British Columbia

Date:  May 10, 2003
Time:  9:50 p.m.
I looked out the window facing north to see a brilliant pink/red glow which I assumed to be a flare or fireworks. It appeared about 30 degrees in the sky and then looked like it was descending. It faded out to a coin size in the sky and then went to the north till it was out of sight. The colour was beige/white in the night sky as it faded away. Could have been a flare. Impossible that others could not have seen this as there was a lot of activity in the area as the evening was warm.

Thanks to UFO*BC for the report.
