UFO sighting / lower mainland B.C. / Northern Oregon

[Sir Eltor]

At 10:08 p.m. (Sept.13 /16 ) I went outside to get some fresh air . The sky is clear and the moon almost full . I was only outside for approx. 5 mins , ( star gazing ) south facing . First I notice a light flying from north to south , I figured that was a satellite .

Then there was another light that almost crossed paths with the first satellite, heading east from west . I thought as well that this was another satellite due to the speed/height and the straight trajectory , and focussed on this light .

But that all changed as this light slowed then completely stopped . I was like WTF !!!
The light then started moving back in a westerly direction , speeding up faster than anything I've ever seen before . It then would almost completely stop instantly , then speed up doing amazing right angle turns , then stop completely for about 10 seconds .

Finally it took off heading northwest , at such an acceleration , the effing speed of this craft . From hovering straight south from me , over northern Oregon , it covered 180 degrees of my sky view in about 2 seconds . I had to run around to the back of my house , but I then lost it .

All the testimony I've read from others about the manuverability of these crafts is 100 % true , my heart was pounding , my eyes trickled a few tears . I'll never forget this .

If anyone lives in this vicinity I recommend they go have a peep tonight.

Once again, this video was uploaded within minutes of capturing the orb (0511 hrs on Sept. 12, 2016) as it slowly and silently travelled overhead. This is the original, unedited video. It was captured on my Sony Xperia Z2 when I noticed it almost directly over my head as it went from West to East over South Vancouver/ Burnaby.

Hey I had a fly-by 3 am ish on the 13th! A Pearl light bulb coloured sphere weaving and bobing about about 5000 to 9000 meters up i'd guess...

Thinking about it more it was the 12th

great sighting...

I have also seen some strange things in the sky in the Vancouver area a few years back. Orbs similar to those two sightings, but they were a bit east of Vancouver and started from over the mountains and moved west to ...wherever. Another sighting consisted of orbs that converged together and formed a larger craft or something - again it went east to west. There is a history of sightings there and many seem to come out of the mountain area and move over the lower mainland.
Vancouver - keep your eyes upwards!

[Sir Eltor]

Thank you all for your input . I wish I had the recording capabilities such as my so inspiring fellow member Mojo . Neither the less , this did happen , with my own two eyes . It'll be tough, but I need to aquire some sort of half decent recording device

these are mainly the type i have seen only a little lower in the sky , had a light that was unconventional seemed to be limited to the craft itself

I wish it was lower , but to me it appeared as if it was around the same height as a satellite , if not higher , with a solid , non pulsing light .

Well , it's still new years in British Columbia , Canada , and I'm a very happy man / father right now . Went outside around 6 p.m. tonight , it's cold and dark out , most of the sky was covered with cloud . I was taking pics (I phone ) of the moon , and I presume a bright planet in close proximity .

This was located to the southwest from my viewpoint , and to west and northwest the sky was cloudless . I focussed my attention on a star to the northwest ( the first one I could see as my eyes adjusted to the dark ) and noticed a small solid , feint light right above it . This light automatically made me think of the light I witnessed in my opening post .

Bout five seconds later it started moving south , slowly for approx. 5 secs. Then flew back and parked itself above the star again . Ha haaaaa I was so elated of course , after approx. 20 secs it started travelling slightly northeast , slowly for bout 20 secs then stopped .

I needed a witness this time , so I quickly called a friend who lived 15 mins away southwest . From inside his apartment he couldn't get a visual , the unit was south facing . He's pretty skeptical about such things so he wouldn't bother going outside to try and get a view.

So I ended that convo , the ufo was still stationary , so I ran inside my house , went upstairs , and encountered 4 of my kids (10 years and under ) all cramped into the bathtub . Told them what was happening , and right away my 8 year old boy ( very opened minded ) jumped out of the bath and quickly got dressed .

Ran to the deck , propped him up so he could see over the sidewall of our place , and I pointed out the light . He could see it still sitting in the same place . A min later it started flying east , ( still in the northern part of the sky) , so we had to run from front to back of the house to keep track .

Once we got past the annoying glare of the street lights , we found it , slowly heading east then stopping , periodically . Then it headed north for a bit then stopped . We watched for almost 10 mins , but then the clouds rolled in .

So sweet that my boy witnessed this with me , meanwhile my wifes yelling that ufo's aren't real as he's running down the stairs and out the door .

Happy New Year everybody , and if ya can , get out and look to the sky !!!

What a cool way to start the new year!

After my sighting at 6 p.m. I've been going out every hour to look for the ufo . The sky up until and after my check point at 10 o' clock was pretty clear , but some cloudy areas .It looked as though I might get a full clear outlook as it seemed that the clouds we're dissipating . So my next checkpoint was at 11:50 p.m.

The sky was completely clear , and I focussed on a different star that had moved into position to where the first star had been , this is almost 6 hours later . My patience had paid off , I found the object again . Is it luck ? or is it a pattern ? Same solid white light , super high , same mobility tendencies .

Starts off northwest from my viewpoint over mountainous area , and for a few mins it would just fly south for a few secs , stop , then head north for a few secs ,stop , and repeated this motion for aprox 1 min . Then headed east . It reminds me of say a fish or a shark , how they're so fluid , yet turn sharply , and burst into speed and glide . Sporadic but so precise , the utmost of agility .

As I watched , it appeared as though it was following the path of making a huge circle . At this point it was almost at the 180 degree mark , then stopped . It was way above where the jet path was to Vancouver international airport , now southeast from my original view point . There were 2 jets a couple of mins apart from each other , the ufo would stop as the jetliners both passed way beneath it. Almost like it was doing inventory .

Then a few secs after the last plane went by a shooting star shot right underneath the ufo falling southeast . That was quite the image . It then continued on its way hitting my south viewpoint till southwest . I'd say it made 340 degrees , in that giant circle , nearly reaching the starting point . Then I lost sight , kept at it for 5 more mins , and saw it again for 20 secs more,just passed the original spot , but lost it again.

That was a 30 min display , there has to be someone else to have witnessed this . This may be a long night . I'm heading back out .

Peace

[Sir Eltor]

1:11 a.m. check point .

There now seems to be a pattern , didn't take long to find it again . Just have to concentrate on the same star as last . Still in the northwest , almost straight up from my position . This time the object was shooting straight down for a few secs , and then straight back up but at a fast velocity , and repeating . Then slowly moved east 10 secs , then did the same fight as just mentioned .
Then lost it for a few mins , but found it again near the " star " . Descended , then moved east again fast , lost sight . Waited 10 more mins , freezing my a$$ off , my neck and shoulders are getting the ultimate workout , but whatever . Just about to head in , spotted it again to the north . Lost it .

next check point 3 ish

[Sir Eltor]

3:00 a.m. check point

Unbelievable , 9.5 hours later and it's still out . I'm guessing over Mt. Seymour or Grouse mountain area . This time flying to it's lowest point to date . Though it's quite far away , the visual had it lower than the soccer stadium lights but 600 meters away . Bobbing up and down .

It's just too far away , the phone camera would never pick it up .

Well it's been my most exciting new years , might give it one more look in a few hours , don't have a clue what it's objective is . Maybe a newbie pilot clocking in some hours.

I have had similar sightings near Vancouver, where they were somewhere over the mountains to the east of the city - 3 lights flying around in the sky almost playfully with each other until two moved into one, the other left very fast and the one remained still as a star for a long while. Another sighting from the same area where a small craft expanded into a large long vehicle and slowly moved off out of sight. That is an active area - I would bet they come out of the mountain range from somewhere.

[Sir Eltor]

Looks to be clear again tonight , wouldn't mind some collaboration with local members .

[Sir Eltor]

Whatever it is , it's back , last spotted circling a star in the northeast.

[Sir Eltor]

2 hours later and it's still out there . If using Vancouver as a reference point , it'll be east and a little south .

Above where the jet liners come in from the east .

[bluestflame]

might have to sit out and have a look tonight meself
