BC – CANADA UFO STORIES BY EACH PROVINCE
Red Ball UFO Harrison Lake British Columbia May 2011
“It was lower than the peaks of the mountains in the distance, but way above the lake so it looked like a red ball.”
Duration of sighting: Minutes from 1 to 5, maybe longer it was years ago.
UFO details report: May 21st 2011 I believe is the date of the sighting. It was May long weekend and my friends and I were camping at Harrison Lake, British Columbia. Hundreds of people lined the beach and all campgrounds were full. I was mixing a drink when I heard people freaking out and gasping. I turned around to see a huge red ball glowing and moving over the lake. I instantly thought it could be a flare, but it was not falling in altitude, and no smoke. It continued to move over the lake as if observing the giant party that was happening below with hundreds of people. It then came to a stop, and was stationary for a bit. It blinked and disappeared. I again heard people freak out. All I could think is where is my damn phone I wish I could record this. So many people saw it and I find no reports online. When I bring it up with my friends they say they don’t want to talk about it. My one friend who went to Christian school (and is not a Christian anymore) was up the hill at his truck praying, because it was the supposed rapture day according to that Harold Camping guy. I still bring it up to them as much as I can to mess with them, but I seriously want to hear someone elses account of the event. Hundreds of people watched this.

From Fernie BC; UFO details report: My co- worker and I decided to escape the August long weekend crowds with a climbing/backpacking trip into a small remote cabin behind the Lizard Range called Thunder Meadows Hut. We had just finished dinner and were enjoying the stars outside on the deck of the hut when I noticed a white oval light on top of the ridge in front of us. We were in a very dark remote area and so there were no other lights around so it was very noticeable. It was moving very slowly along the ridge. It didn’t have any defined edges or flashing lights and it didn’t make a sound. When I asked my friend if he saw it as well, which he did, it changed directions and starting moving slowly the other direction. After a few seconds it seemed to take off quickly down the other side of the ridge and out of sight to us. I knew what it was immediately and felt like it heard us and saw us. It was definitely not an airplane/helicopter. It was too large to be a flashlight of someone on the ridge. I have to admit I was nervous as was my friend and the rest of the evening I was scared to leave the cabin by myself.
Clearwater British Columbia Sept 26th, 2015 in the late evening approx.10 Kms south of town
Witness Report: My husband and I were driving along Highway 5, just before Clearwater. We were just passing the time and there was nothing going on. I was staring out the window and saw a perfectly shaped, whitish circle in front of our truck. I was thinking about what I was seeing because I’ve never seen anything like it before. As it passed over the truck, I heard my husband say, “what was that?” So we had both seen the same thing independently. He said, “that looked like a ball of energy”. To which I agreed. We have discussed everything it could have been but our best description is a “whitish orb”

Date: July 29 1977 Time: 2245 Location. Near Harrogate, British Columbia
Joseph Randall Murphy had been working for the Canadian Pacific Railway in Glacier National Park and was driving his 1964 Pontiac station wagon along a remote stretch of Highway 95 between Golden and Radium. He was heading south to visit his mother in Invermere and was in the vicinity of the small town of Harrogate when a black pristine early model Cadillac suddenly traversed the highway from east to west directly in front of him.
It was very dark and there was no other traffic on the highway, because the Cadillac traversed the road perpendicular to his car, his headlights, which were set on high beam, shone directly into the wide side windows of the Cadillac, illuminating the interior and passengers. He saw three strange men inside the vehicle in total, two in the front and one in the rear passenger seat.
Even though it was a pitch black night, all three of them were dressed in black overcoats and were wearing black hats and sunglasses. The driver was concentrating intently on the wheel, a dull purple glow from the dashboard illuminating his face. The front passenger was looking out his side window and he looked directly at Murphy as the Cadillac sped by. His face was pasty white, somewhat drawn, intense and expressionless. Murphy felt as though they had made eye contact. A third entity was seated in the rear passenger side. He was turning his head toward Murphy in a sort of robotic manner and he barely had time to spot Murphy as the Cadillac rocketed past.
None of them were in a state of panic or out of control; as if this was the sort of thing they were used to.
The last he saw of the Cadillac was its red tail lights fading into the depths of the valley below, leaving a mist of some kind in its wake. The sighting only lasted about three seconds, but as is commonplace in automobile accidents, the event seemed to happen in vivid slow motion detail. Murphy jammed on his brakes to avoid what would have otherwise been a certain collision. The Cadillac missed him by only inches and he stopped the Pontiac to get out and inspect the scene.
The mist the Cadillac had left in its wake was dissipating and there wasn’t a sound to be heard except the Pontiac idling on the side of the highway. There was no sign of the Cadillac and to Murphy’s surprise there was no road intersecting the highway either. On the east side of the highway was a dense forest that rose up the mountain side and on the west side was a steep grade that continued down into the valley. He could see the trail of mist that the Cadillac had left behind descending low over the bush and between the trees into the darkness.
Fearing some kind of freak accident he backed up the Pontiac and aimed it’s headlights down the grade as far as he could. He also turned off the engine to listen for any faint sounds. However there were no sounds or sights other than the trail of mist which soon evaporated into the air leaving no trace of what had just occurred. He continued to check for evidence to explain what had just occurred, but there was nothing to be found. There were no tire tracks on either side of the road, no broken or flattened vegetation, no skid marks, no lights, no flames, nothing.

Coquihalla Highway Fireballs 2005
UFO details report: I am not sure this qualifies as a UFO story, but here is what we saw. It was August 2005, I do not recall the exact day. We were driving to Kelowna from the lower mainland *late in the evening so my son would sleep thru the trip. We had just passed thru Great Bear snowshed going up the steep incline when dozens upon dozens of small car sized fireballs started falling out of the sky. All of the fireballs fell into the ravine to the right. I wanted to pull over but my wife and I thought better of it as we believed there was going to be a major forest fire. I checked the news the next day expecting to hear of a fire along the coquihalla but there was nothing. We drove back 2 days later and it was like nothing had been there. no scorching, burns or anything.It was very unusual.

Peachland BC Canada Day 1984 Submerging UFO
ufo details report: I was sitting in the park in Downtown Peachland after the Canada Day celebrations in 1984. Most people had left but there were a few people still milling about. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something red and turned to look. It was an orb shaped object. It was following the contour of the mountains. At that time the Coquihalla Highway was not built yet so I was perplexed as to what it may be. I continued to watch it along its path. When it came to the end of the mountain it descended and entered Okanagan lake. I sat there for quite some time in disbelief, hoping to see it re emerge….but it never did.
If you held a nickel 10 feet away from you, that would be the size the object was, meaning it was quite some distance away from me. It did not pass in front of anything or allow me a chance to estimate size, speed, etc. But judging by when it went into the lake I would say the size of a regular house.

Chilliwack BC Morphing UFO object
May 15th 2013 7:30pm – Chilliwack BC Morphing UFO object
ufo details report: May 2013 I stepped outside to have a smoke, it was dusk and cool out.I always watch the sky while outside smoking due to the many instances where I have seen unusual things. On this night I was looking south towards the mountains from my home near downtown Chilliwack. I saw a translucent pinkish triangle come over the mountain and was heading in my direction. At first I thought it was a large flock of birds, or perhaps a large group of insects but I realized it was moving way too fast to be either, and it was way too far away for me to be able to see it so clearly. The object reached about halfway between the mountains and my home and abruptly changed shape, it was now cylindrical.The morph in shape was so smooth, so crisp, it was like a billion little nanobots moving in unison. The cylindrical shape was flying sideways, not end to end…it almost appeared to be rolling. It was still heading in my direction and that was when I realized the enormity of its size. The object was huge and only getting bigger as it steadily came towards me…It flew directly overhead of me, and was almost the entire block long and approximately 30 feet in diameter. I could swear I could see right through it. The object continued on and I watched it as long as I could. It did not change shape again.

Nanaimo BC UFO Sighting Report June 8th 2015
ufo details report: On the evening of June 8, 2015, at 10pm, I was looking at the sunset over the ocean from my patio in Nanaimo. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny evening. Looking north-east toward the horizon, I saw a small bright light. I thought it was a plane because it left a tail behind like planes do. The light moved quickly towards Texada Island becoming larger and brighter. Then the light just stopped there. I thought perhaps it was a plane in trouble and I was preparing for it to crash into the island. But it did not, it just stayed there beside Texada Island. I went inside the house and got the binoculars and returned back outside. Through the binoculars the light looked liked a ball of light surrounded be a dark cloud..smoke I thought. Then after a minute the light just disappeared and left a cloud behind. Wow I thought, was that a plane? A meteor? But then a second light appeared on the horizon. And it too came to stop in the same place. This time I got my phone and took a picture. I had to zoom to see the ball of light by Texada Island. It disappeared too. A third light appeared and disappeared after that. I would say that it all took about fifteen minutes. Later that night, about midnight, I went out again to look at the night sky. I don’t know if this is related but there was a very bright light which I thought was a star in that direction. The star was very bright and glowed red.

The witness writes:
“My brother and I witnessed our first UFO. We were walking on the beach to our car and once we got into the car is when I noticed a light orange (looked like the color fire almost) Its so hard to describe this color however I noticed it was flying pretty close to us and it had no noise and it was not a plane. The colors did not match any airplanes we usually see. It was travelling slow then it was going pretty fast across the sky. As my brother noticed it too I told him to turn off our car lights so we can get a better look. As soon as we did that it disappeared. We have been looking at the sky ever since and now we are true believers and I am hoping someone in our area have seen the thing at the same time.”
Update: Saturday March 22nd 2015 Sechelt BC 12 am West Sechelt in front of Trail Islands
Another witness writes:
UFO details report: “My husband was smoking on the patio when he told me to come see the lights, I saw two pairs of blue white lights come in between the trail islands then infront of the island (from my view) then two more pairs of lights turned on, once all for pairs of light were lined up infront of the island a red light in the front/middle flared up and then white spot lights came in and were shining on to the water. The pairs of light moved around and dimmed (like a throbbing light and dark). Two pairs disappeared and other lights turned on to the left of the island then the other lights all move to the very left, then back to the middle, then back to the left then all the way back the way they came. I was soo freaked out!!! They looked like they were all above the water, traveling too fast and semetrical to be a boat or barge. And the distance between was way to big to be a boat, there was no noise. It was a really clear night, two evenings ago, March 22 at about 12:00 midnight. I checked with the RCMP and there were no coast guard or police boats out at the time. The duration of this even was probably 6-10 mins, I tried to get photos but my phone was full. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen! Some of the lights just disappeared and the other pair just floated away. ”

Rock Creek BC April 2006 (date and time given approx)
UFO details report: “It was the spring of 2006, in the afternoon. I was nine at the time, and my mother told me we had to go pick up my sister from her baseball game. I always loved racing my mother out to the truck. As I was getting to the truck, and grabbed the door handle, something caught my eye. It was hard not to see the object, my house is located in the central part of rock creek. Above the mountain, there was a black object, which to me looked like it was malfunctioning. You know how a penny drops and does that spinning motion? It was exactly like that. I didn’t know what to think of it. It couldn’t of been a balloon because it had to of been huge by what altitude it was at. Planes and jets fly over here regularly, and it couldn’t of been that. Helicopters make lots of sound, especially with the mountains echoing their sound. Nothing could rule out what it really was. I believe that it could of been military operated. Maybe it wasn’t working properly, rock creek isn’t far from the U.S boarder, so maybe it’s for protecting/watching it. It was pure black so maybe it was supposed to be used at night. My reaction was being in complete shock, but in a way calming. I cannot explain how it was calming, I guess seeing it for myself instead of hearing it from others kind of put me at ease. When my mother finally came out, she was stunned. This object looked so irregular to the environment. You could see the sun reflecting off of the object as it was moving. Let me note that it stayed in the same spot as it was doing that motion. My mother told me we had to go, which I regret doing. The place we had to pick up my sister wasn’t even five minutes away. When we got back, there wasn’t any sign of it. I hope this sheds some light on people who saw it too, or have similar sightings.” ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Surrey BC – April 1st 1997 evening
UFO details report: “Evening of April 1st, 1997. I was leaving the house to go out with some friends and was out in the driveway chatting with a friend of my mothers. They were attending university at that time and she was just leaving for a night of studying with my mother. She wasn’t a friend of mine and I really didn’t know her very well. No drugs or alcohol had been consumed by any of us that evening.
Horizon of stars were very visible in the night sky above us. We were distracted from our conversation when we noticed the stars began to ‘twinkle’ and ‘flash’ repeatedly all across the sky. I had never seen stars go from normal stars to that many flashing stars. We were looking up and across the sky trying to figure out what was causing this to happen when something came into view in the sky behind us.
We were looking West and the object travelled East-to-West so it came up from behind us and overhead. There are certain details about this object which stand out very clear to me but there are also aspects of this sighting that I have a hard time remembering, almost as if I dreamed it. The two of us said to each other numerous times “You can see this too, right?”.
The object was gigantic and seemed to be travelling quite low and far too slow for any aircraft I had experienced in person. It was shaped like a wide arrowhead. Not quite an isosceles triangle because the rear of the craft was curved outwards, not a distinct flat line. I do not recall any lights on this vessel whatsoever. It was really only visible by the lights in our driveway and the outline of the ship against the sky.
I do not recall any sound whatsoever coming from the vessel. I have seen commercial airliners come in to land the sound is extremely loud from the engines, this craft had no sound and was too slow and too low for me to comprehend what I was seeing. As the vessel moved over our heads continuing West, we could make out vague details of the underside of the craft. Looked like pipes or channels.
At the risk of losing any credibility, the only remotely accurate way I could describe it would be to imagine looking up at a “Star Destroyer” ship that is so iconic with Star Wars fans. (note- I myself am not even a fan of Star Wars, I had to Google the name of the ship just now.) This is what I mean when I say I could see dim channeled ‘metal work’ underneath when I looked up.
I am by no means an expert at deciphering air speed or height of a moving craft as I have no flight knowledge. I would describe the speed and distance this way: 1.)If i were to hold up my hand up over my face, I would still see the craft on all sides. It would not come close to fully blocking my vision of it. 2.)As for speed, it would travel the length of my hand (raised over my head and between my line of sight and the craft) in approximately 3-5 seconds.
As the craft continued slowly west and was no longer overhead of our property line, the back of the craft lit up white and it flew high and north before vanishing.”

Fanny Bay, Vancouver Island August 2013 Approx time: 11-11:45
ufo details report: My daughter and I were out in our yard, watching the sky, hoping to see some shooting stars as it was during the yearly Perseid meteor shower. My daughter spotted the UFO first, and pointed it out to me. I said it’s probably a plane, but it was kind of too low to be a plane, and it was going the wrong way. The planes always fly overhead on the same path. This object was crossing that path, not following it.
Also, there was no sound. So I ran inside to grab my binoculars. What I saw thru the binocs will stay with me always because it absolutely was NOT a plane of any kind. It was completely circular and extremely bright with lights. There was one large light in the middle and it was completely surrounded by littler lights, all around the edge. I gave the binoculars to my daughter so she could see it up close also.
Then I had to take them back from her and I continued to watch it through the binoculars till it disappeared behind the treeline.

Burns Lake BC August 15th 2012 11:00pm
ufo details report: My wife and I were siting our patio one evening enjoying the beautiful night. I was looking to the west and a light was traveling west to east coming towards us across the local mountains. It looked at first like a plane but it was moving too slow. We watched it for a few minutes until it seemed like it was above the lake and I flashed my 1000 watt hunters light at it a few times then it blinked out. Gone wow that was cool because we could see lots of stars and it was gone. No sound. Then a few minutes later we head footsteps beside our place. We had weeds and thought it was a dog. I looked and didn’t see anyone so I ran outside around my house flashing my 1000 watt light and there was no one in sight.My nearest neighbour lives about 100 metres and there was no visible explanation for the footsteps that we both heard.
