Left Image: John Christopher Tosti
I bring sad news this evening, Mr. John Christopher Tosti passed away on March 24, 2011 leaving behind loved ones, friends and folks who cared about John.
I myself met John only through emails and our telephone calls we made to one another. I found John to be an intelligent man who loved his family dearly.
John contacted me in hopes of finding some answers, or to tell someone about his ongoing experiences with unidentified flying craft, and his alien abduction, which troubled him for years after the experience.
My regret was not meeting John in person as he and I would have had lots in common, and we would have hit it off straight away.
John leaves behind a wealth of information in a report I wrote up on what had been happening to him and what he and his family were observing. I did have everything posted at an old website I owned and operated, but I did sell the website and now much of the photos and video is not posted. I do have everything here, but it was packed away with all UFO material a couple years ago.
At the below link, I have re-posted John’s story.

If anyone would like to send their Condolences to John’s family, please feel free to email your words to me, Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net and I will forward your message to the family.

8 Glowing Orange Balls Over San Jose California USA
Date: April 29, 2011
Time: Approx: 8:40 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 8
Shape of Objects: Orb.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: My neighbor came by to say hi, but he said, what the hell is that? It was around 8:40ish while I was watching the SJ Sharks Hockey game in my garage. I looked over my roof line and towards Morgan Hill area where about 8 glowing orange balls. This was 8:40ish pm and at first I thought they were flares, but they were moving erratically.
At first staying still, then moving rapidly. This was Cambrian area facing Morgan Hill. I saw them for several minutes. I Googled the sighting and it looked very similar to other sightings shown multiple round objects moving unnaturally. I am not saying they are not from this world, but it was highly unnatural.

Bright White Object Falls From The Sky Over I 195 Eastbound Marion Massachusetts USA
Date: Around mid August 2008
Time: Before midnight.Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Sphere.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving down interstate 195 eastbound, I believe it was in the Marion Massachusetts area of the highway and I believe it was around midnight. I witnessed a large, white ball of light falling from the sky. It was very dark and on a secluded part of 195 and I first noticed a flash of light behind me and I turned to my left and looked out the drivers side window and saw it falling somewhat quickly until it dipped below the tree line.
I kind of prepared myself for an explosion, or impact of some kind because it was so close, but there was nothing, not a sound or explosion or anything. I have searched for an explanation of what it could be ever since, but no concrete idea's of what it could possibly be. I have read similar postings of people around the country and in other countries who described something similar, but none seem to know what it was.
The part I would emphasize the most is it looked as if it was falling, not flying, almost like a comet would, but if it had been a comet at that size and that close I probably wouldn't be alive right now. Even if whoever reads this knows it’s not a UFO and knows what it is, I would appreciate an email because I would really like to know what it was since its puzzled me for 3 years now.

Single Golden Object Over Pisgah Forest North Carolina USA
Date: April 2011
Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m. – 3:00 a.m.Just checking on something I saw recently mid-early morning (about 2-3am) 2 weeks go in April that resembles other accounts. I woke up for who knows what reason, and was looking out my east facing bedroom windows (no curtains or obstructions) and suddenly noticed a single “golden orb” moving south to north, steadily…no flashing lights, no unusual patterns, just straight on course.
It appeared in my line of vision, probably only about 30 seconds total before it just “disappeared” still on it’s course.
Nothing further. I have ‘seen’ unusual things in New Mexico, but not in this particular location.

Large Emerald Green Object Over Three Rivers California
Date: August 14, 2010
Time: 12:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.
To whom it may concern, back on the 14th of August 2010 my cousin and I were watching shooting stars at Three Rivers in California. It was about half 12 or 1 in the morning and my cousin and I observed a very large emerald green orb fall out of nowhere and disappear behind the mountains. It stayed in the sky for about 5 seconds falling extremely quickly.
I still cant explain it! It was nowhere near the time of sunrise or sunset and it was not an aircraft of any kind! It was at the height of the shooting star activity, but it was far larger and brighter than any star we saw that night. My cousin and I are still adamant that what we saw was not human, but some sort of extra terrestrial.
Hope this helps with research! I would be interested to know if you discover anything.

Orange Balls Of Fire Seen At Charlotte North Carolina
Date: May 1, 2011
Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.Oh my goodness! I witnessed a very similar circumstance last night, May 1, 2011 in Charlotte, NC. I was outside on my balcony at about 11:30 p.m. looking through my phone when something told me to look up. I look up to find three orange balls of light gliding through the sky. Now they were to close to be stars and seemed to far away to be flares.
I know they weren't planes as they didn’t exhibit the red and blue blinking lights that planes flying at night exhibit. They just glided along over the apartment building across the street from me and into the sky. Then one of them began to get smaller and smaller until it was gone, followed shortly by another and then finally all three had shrunk and disappeared.
I had/have no idea what I had just witnessed. I went inside to get a sip of water before coming back out and not five minutes later, another orange ball of fire "rose" from behind the apartment building across the street before following the same fate as the three previously. I am really itching to know what the heck those lights were about. If you have gotten any answers on what these lights could be, I would very much like to know.

Time: Evening.Myself and about 5 others saw red lights in the sky above the Santa Cruz Harbor on Saturday. They remained there for a few minutes and then disappeared all of a sudden. One of the lights lingered momentarily after the rest disappeared. It was definitely strange!

Bullet Shaped UFO With Wide Tail Over Bellflower California USA
Date: April 14, 2011
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Like the tip of a bullet.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: The object was to the south, going from east to west, no trees or anything in my way of view. There was also a couple of helicopters, far behind. The object had a wide tail about 10 or more times bigger than it, it seemed to me like it was pushing clouds. It stayed in my view for about five seconds.
I called my son, but unfortunately he could not see it because it faded away in a fraction of a second. I cannot say it flew fast because it seemed that it was going away.

Time: 9:30 p.m.Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Triangular or boomerang shaped.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was standing on my patio and noticed a orange-ish very bright light in the sky moving across the sky at a steady pace. I have never seen anything like this so I yelled for my husband and ran inside to grab my phone to take a video. By the time he got out there it just disappeared.
It had a glow all around it with trailing light coming from behind the ends. I have been looking at videos of comets, asteroids, and meteors online and can't find anything like what I saw.

Colorful Object Seen Over Oakdale California
Date: Summer of 2010
Time: Evening.
Number of witnesses: 9
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: 3 lights, possibly round or triangular.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: On a summer night of 2010, I spent a nice warm evening with my family and cousins. We saw 3 bright lights. The colors were green, red and a little blue. The motion of the UFO (possibly) was weird. It moved in a circular motion, randomly blinking. We brought out our telescopes and video cameras. My granddaughter and I both recorded the sighting.
Our cousin has told us that he has seen these lights more than once. My granddaughter also had called her friend to look out at the sky, and she also witnessed it. It was a truly amazing mystery to identify it!

Time: N/A.Number of witnesses: Everyone of the aircraft.
Number of Objects: Several at first then hundreds over Catalina Island.
Shape of Objects: Round balls of orange energy flying around the plane.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: When I looked out the airplane window I saw several round balls of orange flying around the window. I notified the flight attendant and she said to close (pull the small blind) my window. Of course I didn't, I and several others kept watching the orange balls of energy flying around our plane.
They would follow us and then shoot out to space and come back to follow the plane. When we were flying over Catalina Island there were hundreds of orange balls flying all over the place and some were just staying in place. Awesome sight and I never forgot it.

Burning Ball Of Fire Over Belleville Michigan
Date: April 30, 2011
Time: 1:00-2:00 a.m.Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Circle.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: My friend and I were sitting by the fire in the back yard of his house and I had noticed it first, but it looked like a burning ball fire for how bright it was. It was moving really slow across the sky so it couldn't be a comet, but it was for sure not a plane or helicopter I know that much. The most reasonable conclusion would be a missile or a space craft, or something else. I am sending this to see if anyone else saw the same thing.

Bright Orange Light Over Ferdinand Indiana U.S.A.
Date: April 30, 2011
Time: Evening.Brian, just last night, I saw something similar to your sighting. I saw a bright orange light travelling at a fairly fast speed across the sky. I ran inside to grab my binoculars when a second one came over the horizon following the same trajectory. It was simply an bright orange orb with a somewhat transparent upward facing cone of orange light above it.
The entire UFO was rotating slightly in a strange horizontal motion, and had no blinking lights. Then a third UFO came over the horizon equidistant from the other 2. It was a very bizarre sighting, and was unlike anything I have ever seen or heard of. I am typically skeptical of many sightings, but this was an exceptionally strange occurrence viewed with my binoculars.
I wish I would of had a powerful telescope to view the event, as it was somewhat unsettling. Just thought I'd pass on the info to see if this was similar to your experience.

Bright Blue Light Observed Three Hours From Daytona Florida
Date: April 28, 2011
Time: Evening.
Hello, I am emailing you in regards to someone's sighting of a blue orb of light shooting across the sky by Daytona Florida. I live about 3 hours from Daytona and was just outside my house when I saw the exact same phenomenon. It shot from south to north, my first thought was a flare, but it was blue and did not last as it just disappeared in thin air. I was completely shocked.

Military Guard With Canine Observe UFO Over The Canon AFB Clovis Mexico (Jets Scrambled)
Date: 1970’s
Time: Approx: 3:00 a.m.A Vike Factor Note: Over the years I have received a number of excellent UFO sighting reports that have taken place over the Canon AFB Clovis Mexico. I have been working on these reports and hoping others who served at the AFB would contact me if they have any knowledge of UFO sightings over the base. Please remember, your personal information is kept private. Thank you, Brian.
Hi Brian, saw your website. My name is (name removed) AFB, Canon AFB Clovis Mexico. I would like to tell you of my encounter with a UFO, My Serial # was (removed), which you can check from record book on the apswho. I was walking the tarmac guarding F-100 Sabre Jets. Let me explain at this time my encounter, it was about 3:00am I was walking with my canine, a shepherd called Olex, when I looked into the night sky and saw a bright dot. The object I saw was moving radically left to right up and down and this is something I've never seen before.
I kept staring at it and couldn't believe what I saw. The object moved so radically that I called base command. Base command sent four Sabre Jets for what I explained to them. As the jets took off, I saw the object moving faster and more radically. When the jets came back the crews of the Jets shook their heads and said we couldn't get it.
One captain told me they saw it and it was gone in a flash still shaking their heads. So I guess Brian, there are really UFO's? I just wanted to tell you this because I know in the real world we don’t identify other sources of life, but this was an encounter that I have to tell you before my days our ended. Thank you for what your doing and maybe people will look more at night into the sky and see the real happening. Thank you.

Large Red/Orange Ball Of Flame Over Pataskala Ohio
Date: April 30, 2011
Time: Evening.
Hi Brian, my name is (name removed). I am contacting you about a sighting of an UFO last night (Saturday April 30, 2011). I was searching Google for similar sightings, and came across the exact same thing from July of last year.
My family and I were just returning from a trip to the local Kroger grocery, and were stepping up the stairs to our porch. That's when I looked up and to the east of our home and saw it. It appeared to be a large, red/orange, ball of flame. It looked to be ascending as it moved across the sky to the north/northwest, and was moving rapidly.
Perhaps 2-3 times the normal rate of a plane flying at any altitude. As it passed overhead it was clearly below cloud cover for the night. As it went over the house we could make out a large reddish hue encompassing a small, bright ball of flame. It lasted just a minute, or two until it passed back into the clouds to the west.

Strange Blue Light Observed Over Tallahassee And Apalachicola Forest Florida (Meteor)
Date: Friday night/Saturday morning April 2011
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.Hello my name is (name removed) There was a strange blue light over Tallahassee recently and there are many witnesses. I did not see it. Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/WCTV.tv/posts/10150161673971786 or you can contact WCTV news, that's just the discussion going on.
But about a year ago there was a blue light outside my window. I woke up very frightened and out of the corner of my eye was the light, but only for a split second. I felt something was outside, almost an instinct there was, and when I did look nothing was there.
The following morning I tried to find out if there were any other sightings and come to find out there was a UFO sighting not too far from where I lived at the time. Which was near the Apalachicola forest.
