From Brian Vike Retired UFO Investigator - Merry Christmas And I Hope You All Have A Wonderful New Year


 Well I have to say I am enjoying all the free time I have on my hands. I do miss looking into the UFO cases that came in, but honestly I started giving up the passion I once had for the topic. This was mainly due to the amount of sighting reports that were coming in before I pulled the plug.

I always believed If people are kind enough to write up their sighting report and send it along, then I should most certainly reply and do some checking into the sightings that have a little more meat to them. It finally got to the point where so much was pouring into the inbox, I through my hands up and said to heck with this.

Last January 2013 just a hair over 700 sighting reports came in for that month. Plus health issues had me thinking it was time to quit. So I did.

Since I packed it in, sighting reports still rolled in, not near as much as I once was receiving, but still a lot of sighting reports. What I did with these reports was to send them directly to William “Bill” Puckett in the United States for the American sightings.

Bill can be found at: UFOs Northwest http://www.ufosnw.com/newsite/ and then all the Canadian sighting reports I received went directly to Chris Rutkowski at: Ufology Research of Manitoba http://uforum.blogspot.ca/

From there I started playing computer games. –:

Anyway, over the years in my province of British Columbia, Canada there was a major UFO wave that took take place in 2002 and 2003 with sightings of all kinds of odd UFOs being witnessed by one person, up to over 200 people who observed one huge UFO event. What I have decided to do is to write up a large detailed report on the two years of amazing sightings and I will post the report later in 2014.

Other than that, I will be sitting back and reading what others are reporting. Again I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming New Year.

The Vike Factor – Posting Of Brian Vike’s Major UFO Cases (The Vike Files)


Posted:  October 24, 2013

Important Notice: Brian Vike, Canadian UFO investigator and owner of “The Vike Factor”, “The Vike Report Radio Show" and editor of the “Canadian Communicator Magazine” and past owner of HBCC UFO Research has been re-posting his large UFO cases on the main blog.

A lot of these cases have audio reports (telephone interviews Brian Vike did with eyewitnesses) which can give a lot more detail to a UFO sighting than just the text report.

From the two year major UFO flap in British Columbia and other large cases all across Canada, the United States and Worldwide, Brian Vike brings sighting reports of unusual lights, saucer shaped UFOs, gigantic football sized Black Triangle craft, military sightings around sensitive bases and on and on it goes.

Brian received “thousands” of sighting reports over the years and so many of them turned out to be amazing cases.

All of these reports are now being posted and can be found at: 

I thank everyone who filed their sighting as they were all so very interesting.

UFO Lands And Alien Beings Take Two Men Aboard The Craft At Connersville Indiana (Audio Report)


(From Brian Vike’s UFO Files) Re-posted by Brian.

In the audio interview, detail is provided about what was seen by the eyewitness.  (Audio Below)

Note from Brian Vike – I typed up some of what was taking place from the audio interview, but there is a lot more that was going on in the area. This can be heard on the audio.


Date:  1973

Brian Vike spoke to a lady by the name of Barb, (Barb is not the ladies real name) who related information about a UFO which had landed. The information came from family members.

Here is how the lady I spoke to found out about this UFO incident we are talking about in this report. She went over to her cousins, Donald Wagner’s home which was in Connersville, Indiana.

She walked up to the house and entered to see a woman sitting on the couch crying. Barb asked Donald, what was the matter with the lady who was crying, Donald said, you didn’t hear about what took place last night, of course she said no.

Donald went on to tell Barb that the lady was upset because the military had taken her husband, along with another man for investigation and were not going to release them for a couple of weeks, this had the women very upset as you can imagine.

Barb wondered what happened and why the  military would be involved.

Barb was told that last night a UFO landed in a factory’s parking lot. The craft landed between work shifts, which had workers coming and going from the factory, and they were all dumbfounded as to what they were witnessing.

Barb was told the police arrived and saw this, plus the many employees at the plant. Everyone continued to watch what was unfolding when two alien beings (aliens described as having almond shaped eyes and pear shape head) were observed floating towards two men.

One man fainted, and the other man seemed to be some how communicating with the alien being. Then this man (this was the husband of the lady who was so upset) bent down, picked up his buddy who had fainted and carried him into the UFO, following the two beings.

Barb was told the two men were in the UFO craft for a short period, while the UFO was still on the ground, then later the two men were seen coming out of the craft, but one was still carrying the other.

At this point of the conversation I had with Barb, she said the other part of the story she got was, the military stepped in after the UFO had left, took the two men into custody for observation. Barb said that was all she knew at this point.

Now the next day (Barb told me she was going through a divorce and that she was hiding out from her husband with her two children as he was not a very nice man) she went to her mother-in-laws or sister-in-laws, I could not quite make out who it was, but they were very good friends and Barb told her what it was she heard. Then all of a sudden, this close friend said, do I have a story for you!

There is alot more you have to hear on this audio report. This entire conversation, or what I was told is nothing short of amazing.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Below is the link for an audio report Brian Vike did with the eyewitness.

I should add that all of the large cases I received and investigated I am re-posting them, but only to the one blog, which is my main one at The Vike Factor - http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.ca/

If anyone has any information about this case, I would love to hear about it. All person information is respected and not given out unless I have your permission to do so. You can write to me, Brian Vike at sighting@telus.net

The Castle Project: Denver’s Haunted Mansion


Did Someone Say Halloween?

Coming to DVD and Digital Platforms (VOD) on October 1, 2013

Los Angeles, CA (September 25, 2013) – Would you buy a  haunted house if it came on the market? Despite a colorful history involving tales of Satanism, mysterious deaths, eerie noises and ghostly sightings, architect Brian Higgins and business partner Travis McAfoos were compelled to purchase the 19th century Croke-Patterson mansion in Denver, Colorado. The Castle Project: Colorado’s Haunted Mansion is their odyssey into the paranormal as they renovate the stately brick mansion into a bed & breakfast. The documentary film will be available on DVD and VOD platforms on October 1, 2013, just in time for Halloween!

The building’s most notable haunting activity occurred during the 1970’s when the dwelling was undergoing renovations to convert it into office space, which some believed to have disturbed the spirits. After completing work, the construction crews would return the following day to find their work from the day before, undone.  After several instances, the contractor purchased a pair of Doberman Pinschers as guard dogs.  Soon after, the workers arrived to find the dogs lying dead on the sidewalk after jumping from a closed third floor window.

It wasn’t long into the more modern renovations that architect Higgins’ crew started to notice some odd occurrences and he picked up a camera, resulting in his directorial debut. “Once I had read all the stories on the Internet of the Croke-Patterson Mansion, I realized that somebody needed to make a movie about this.  It seems like every past owner I came in contact with had a story to tell.  Could there possibly be any truth to these stories?” says director Brian Higgins.

At the outset, Higgins set up a camera doubtful of discovering anything. After the discovery of a dead, mutilated cat followed by workers who claimed to have seen of ghostly apparitions, he moves into one of the upstairs bedroom, by his lonesome while the camera records.  Soon, bats are appearing from nowhere and he hears whispering voices through the halls.  And then there’s an unexplained fire.  Is the house really haunted?

Architectural clues and artifacts found within the walls and foundations allude to a very “otherworldly” blueprint and soon the paranormal investigators and spiritual experts are brought in to investigate.

 Synopsis:

The historic Croke-Patterson Mansion in Denver, Colorado was long-rumored to be haunted by the cries of babies buried in the basement. The original owner built the Chateauesque-style home in 1891 and lived there for six months before falling victim to the Silver Crash of 1893. Ill fortune visited upon subsequent owners during the 120-year‐long history of the house as they experienced otherworldly phenomena that included apparitions, whispering voices, peculiar odors, failed exorcisms and guard dogs jumping through windows to their death.

When architect Brian Higgins and partners purchase the home for renovation, they are skeptical of the home’s tragic past. But soon workers begin to experience sightings of ghostly children, unusual temperature changes and whispering voices. Workers fall ill and one team member dies while an unexplained fire threatens the project’s completion. Paranormal investigators are brought in and they identify several generations of spirits who remain trapped in the house.

Higgins had the foresight to begin filming, and after several hair‐raising nights spent alone in the building he began to wonder if there was a reason why souls never checked out at the Croke‐Patterson Mansion.

John Tosti Story - Alien Contact In Bloomington Indiana (Video Clips/Pictures/Audio)



(From Brian Vike’s UFO Files) Posted by Brian Vike. Also this is a very, very long report, I have added video clips/images and audio to the report.

A message to John’s Mother, I am sure you will read the report and view the clips on your son. A while back we were emailing back and forth, and I have no idea what happened to your emails, mainly you email address. If you would be kind enough to send me another email this would be great, you can send it to me, at sighting@telus.net. I have something I need to discuss with you.

Thank you and look forward in hearing from you again.
Brian.

John Christopher Tosti: Born 1-21-70 - Died 3-24-2011 (UFO/Alien Abductee)

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.

Brian Vike’s Note: It was hard hearing about John’s passing as he was still a young, kind man, but I then was told that about a year later, John’s wife passed away on Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Both John and Susan will be greatly missed by family and friends.

The 2012 Canadian UFO Survey - Record Breaking Year



The 2012 Canadian UFO Survey an analysis of UFO reports in Canada, Compiled by Geoff Dittman and Chris A. Rutkowski

The 2012 Survey Released May 12, 2013.
Since 1989, UFOlogy Research of Manitoba has solicited sightings data from active Canadian researchers. This data is annually compiled into the "Canadian UFO Survey." The survey is made publicly available in an attempt to promote the dissemination of information across the field of ufology. This page contains many of the surveys, as well as the data.

The "Survey Essay" page contains just that; the essays produced each year summarizing the findings of the survey for that year, along with explanations of trends, as well as describing some of the more interesting cases for each year.

The "Search The Database" link is currently inactive. In the future, the complete database will be put on the web, allowing any users to search the database for sightings based on the criteria of their choosing.

The "Data Tables" page contains the raw data, in html table format, for most of the Survey years. Basic data, such as date, time, number of witnesses, etc. is listed, as well as a very limited general description of each sighting. Right now we have the basic data for most years up on the web page, but are currently missing 1989, 1992, and 2009 on the website. We hope to get that data online sometime in the near future.

The "Charts" page contains assorted charts summarizing the data over the years. One can find such things as the distribution of sightings by province, time of day, etc. The charts are in .gif format.With respect to the charts, there is a trade-off that must be made.

If one is to be able to view the results of the different variables being measured, the chart is frequently too large to fit on the monitor, and one has to scroll left or right to view the entire results. Shrinking the charts to fit the screen, while making the entire chart as a whole visable, makes it difficult to actually interpret the chart, as the labels become too small. I have chosen to forsake convenience and make the charts large enough that one can actually read the results.

Given this, the various charts are best viewed with the latest version of Internet Explorer, as it gives you the ability to easily resize the images. Printing the charts using I.E. seems to work well too. With Netscape however, some of the charts don't print on a single page, and either come out on two pages, or it simply cuts off a portion of the chart.

The "Testimonies" page is currently inactive, but will contain eyewitness accounts, in the own words of the witnesses.

If you go to the home of the Canadian UFO Survey, you can find out everything on what the survey is about, and a complete break down/explanation.

Brian Vike Finally Retires From The UFO Topic



I finally have to give up on investigating UFO sightings. As I mentioned to a colleague, I have a great run looking into UFO sightings, met some wonderful people along the way and over the years I received thousands upon thousands of UFO sighting reports, most I would say were explainable, yet others were truly amazing and certainly remain unexplained.

There were just a few Ufologists that I would thank for their help over the years.

The media, who I would like to thank as well, gosh did they treat me with kindness and took an interest in what I had to say.

But anyway, I will leave the blogs up as an archive and will find a new hobby which doesn’t involve sitting at a computer, I just cannot do anymore.

Thank you again to everyone and take care.

Accepting Only Canadian UFO Sighting Reports


Important Notice From The Vike Factor

Due to the huge amount of sighting reports that do come in on a regular basis, I had to make a hard decision as to what I wanted to do.

I can’t keep up with the reports that come in, plus I certainly am not getting any younger, and I don’t want to spend every waking hour at the computer which I just can’t do anymore.

I took a little time to do some thinking, and I have decided to accept and investigate Canadian UFO sightings only. I live in Canada and figured this would be the best for myself.

This will slow things down greatly, which is needed and gives me more time for myself, family and to spend the proper amount of time looking into Canadian sightings I receive.

There are a lot of UFO reporting websites out there on the internet that folks from the United States and the rest of the world can file to. I really don’t want to do this, but this is the way I will have to go.

This where I have posted, and will post all Canadian UFO sighting reports from now on. http://canadaufo.blogspot.ca/

Massive Orange And Red Light UFO Sightings Coming Into Brian Vike At The Vike Factor


Posted: February 18, 2013.

I have been investigating UFO sightings now since mid 2000. When I started up, things were very slow. A report trickled in from time to time, and it was exciting to see. As the months passed, sighting reports were being filed to me more frequently.

Back then I was hard pressed to see many orange/red light sightings at all. Most reports that came in were about unusual craft, people seeing white lights etc., and a few orange objects and some other weird things.  But again, as the years moved on, I did start seeing more and more orange/red light sightings coming in, but most were from Asian countries where they do celebrate different occasions using Chinese/Sky lanterns.

Then a shift started and the reports of these lights began showing up in the UK, slowly at first then increasing by great numbers. It got to the point where orange lights were the subject of most of the sightings I was receiving.

A year or two following the invasion of orange lights in the United Kingdom, I started receiving more and more reports of the lights in Canada. Most of those came from back east in Ontario. Then it spread out across Canada, and still, Ontario remained on top for these sightings probably due to the larger population there, and to this date, huge numbers of sightings of these lights are still piling in. Also at that time, reports of the lights started showing up all along the east coast of the United States. It really was and still is, fascinating to actually see how the orange/red lights spread across the land.

Now, most of the time I receive anywhere from 10 to 20 or more sighting reports per day from people who are seeing these colored lights, meteors and some UFOs. It really is something to see how this all unfolded.

In a recent report, an answer was found to a sighting of a orange ball of light seen over Buena Vista Baja California Sur Mexico.

Here is a link to that story, with an update from the eyewitness who found the evidence that the sighting was indeed a Chinese lantern. The remains were located on the beach, having been washed up on shore as the sighting had taken place over the ocean.
http://worldufos.blogspot.ca/2013/02/large-glowing-orange-ball-of-light-over.html

Pictures of the washed up lantern debris are below.



I have received reports of orange lights from people where they were able to figure out what they saw, after the orange light burnt out and fell into the witnesses yard.

I personally believe most of the orange light sightings are Chinese lanterns, but the problem is finding the proof. The lanterns do come down, but so many fall in wooded areas, lakes, oceans, rivers, yards, etc. When people watch the lights travel over head or see them in the distance, they are still lit, but they do burn out or blink out and it is hard to determine where they might come down because of the darkness.  I am sure people walk out in their yards and see the debris from a lantern and wonder what it is, and where did it come from. I am also sure they pick it up and drop it into the trash, not knowing there were lights seen in the sky in the area from the previous night.

Here is an example of what I am talking about. This report came in from Thompson Manitoba, and in the report there are photos the witness took of a melted mess which is the remains of a Chinese lantern.

“Numerous Eyewitnesses Observe Orange/Red Lights Over Thompson Manitoba – (Case Solved Hot Air Balloons/Lanterns) Pictures” http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.ca/2011/01/numerous-eyewitnesses-observe-orangered.html

I am certainly not saying all of the orange and red light sightings are Chinese lanterns, but I do receive thousands of sightings of these lights and I believe that most of them could be the lanterns.

Witness Observes Orange Colored Objects/Lights In The Sky From Spokane Washington

Time:  Approx; 9:00 p.m.

I'm from Spokane, and last night I observed the same thing described in this article http://unitedstatesufo.blogspot.com/2013/02/25-to-30-orange-balls-of-light-lit-up.html

It was about 9:00 p.m. on February 16th, 2013 and as I was walking into my house I noticed 10 or 15 bright orange lights up in the sky. 4 or 5 of them were in a V shaped formation, and there was another formation that resembled more of a square.

At first I thought I was looking at stars in a constellation, but eventually single lights started to break out of formation, and appeared to float up into the cloud layer, where they were no longer visible.

Each glowing light in turn broke away from the formation and floated out of view until I could no longer see any.

It was a very bizarre to say the least. My first thought was they were some kind of military flare, as they were spotted in the direction of Fair Child Air Force Base.

However, the balls of light appeared to coordinate in formation.

I've noticed a similar report from Bellingham WA, that described a similar formation of lights 3 hours earlier. That might imply that whatever it is traveled from Bellingham to Spokane.

11 People Watching 3 Orange Lights Hovering In The Sky Over Eugene Oregon


Date:  February 17, 2013
Time:  Evening.

I live in Eugene, Oregon. Sunday night there were three orange lights hovering in the southern sky.

Two of them seemed to be interacting with each other.
This event was witnessed first by a friend, who then called my neighbor. I then got my family to come out. There were 11 people just outside my house watching this. It lasted between 5 - 7 minutes after we were informed.

They appeared to be travelling in southern direction when all 3 lights just went out.

Red/Orange Light Observed In The Sky Around Lewisville Lake North Texas


Date:  February 16, 2013
Time:  Approx: 8:00 p.m.

Brian, on February 16, 2013 at about 8:00 p.m. I saw a most unusual sight near Lake Lewisville. I live near several of the DFW flight paths and see lots of aircraft coming and going.

This looked like just another plane taking off, northbound, except that it first caught my eye as a reddish/orange light.

I at first thought it might be a meteor. Then I noticed other lights, as expected on an airliner, but this brighter reddish light at the rear made the plane appear to be on fire.

It’s speed and altitude were in accordance with what I see all the time with departing airliners.

By the time I found my camera and got back outside it was almost out of sight, too far and dim for a picture.

I did not see it change its trajectory at all, nor was there any sound.

So in checking the internet for any other accounts of this, I found your welcome page of what another witness have seen.

If you have any news or other information I would appreciate hearing about such. Thanks.

Sky Exploded Bright White Followed By Blue/Green Light Over Philadelphia Pennsylvania


Date:  February 16, 2013
Time:  8:30 p.m.

My uncle and I were driving on 76 E about 2-3 miles from the Belmont/green lane exit at 8:30 p.m. Roxborough was on the right and center city was visible beyond that.

While driving, the sky exploded bright white followed by blue green colors in a circular pattern. It lasted less than a minute. No one on 76 E stopped, slowed down or pulled over.

Every one continued driving on their way. We both thought that there was some kind of explosion, but there was nothing in the news except a power outage caused by balloons in center city earlier in the day.

It was strange. No one seemed to be affected by it.

Time:  Approx: 6:35 p.m.

Hey! last night February 16, 2013 over the sky's of Bellingham Washington we saw about 8 orange lights in a V formation slowly traveling over the sky.

Then one by one they disappeared heading east towards Spokane Washington. Around 6:35 p.m. I am wondering if there is an explanation for this occurrence.

Unknown Orange Lights Seen In The Sky Over Bellingham Washington


Date:  February 16, 2013
Time:  Approx: 6:45 p.m.

Several people other than my family saw this last night around 6:45 PST in Bellingham, Washington.

My mom and step dad happened to be over when my 2 year old spotted them through the window.

It was crazy. I actually called a local radio station this a.m. to see if anyone else reported it. The guy said he wasn't working and didn't see any notes, but he saw the same thing once and said they are drones?

I'm still so curious to know what it was.

Security Officer Observes Orange Balls Of Light In A Cluster Seen Around Airway Heights/Airport/Fairchilds AFB


Date:  February 16, 2013
Time:  9:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: Around a dozen.
Shape of Objects: Orange balls of light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I am a Contract Security Officer was working at the bus depot.

I was on patrol in the parking lot and stopped to have a smoke, when to the west around Airway Heights/Airport/Fairchilds AFB I noticed around two dozen orange balls of light in a cluster of around a dozen all going the same speed and distance and flew into the clouds and another dozen or so following in two's or three's again doing the same as the first cluster.

A aircraft was coming into land and was below the balls of light and the pilots must surely have seen them, or at least people on the ground either at the Airport or the Military Base.

This lasted about 5-10 minutes and they made no sound, and no sign of landing lights or lights you would see on a plane tail/wings/top and bottom of the plane, just a orange sphere.

Thank you for your interest.

25 To 30 Plus Unknown Orange Lights Seen In The Sky Over Scottsdale And Paradise Valley Arizona

Date:  February 16, 2013
Time:  Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 6
Number of Objects: 25 - 30+
Shape of Objects: Orange lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My girlfriend and I were driving east on Shea Blvd and I spotted maybe 10 orange lights in the sky over Scottsdale.

It was an unusual cluster of orange lights that at first looked like planes lined up one after the other as if on a flight path. However, more just kept coming and they were no longer in lined up formation.

In fact they were popping up in random spots that were spreading out in no particular pattern but they were moving.

The lights were orange and not white as plane lights would be. There were no blinking lights to indicate they were landing lights or planes. The lights were just bright orange colored.

They kept coming and looked like they were surfacing out of nowhere or from the ground, but they were not coming from the ground over east Scottsdale.

One after another and multiples just kept showing up. They went upward and seemed to be traveling towards us in a westerly direction and also straight up.

They clustered, they lined up, they went up in pairs and crossed as if touching then separated and would vanish slowly. It was as if they were playing.

We had pulled over to watch them and a family came out of their house and watched them with us. Finally we got in the car and drove east less than a mile and pulled over again into a cul-de-sac facing south over Paradise Valley.

We watched them continuously surface and start traveling right in front of us one after another.

We thought they might come right to us but as they past us they would shoot off into the distance in a way that seemed to be a slow fade but in actuality they seemed to be traveling a long distance at a very rapid speed.

We know for sure they were not planes of any kind as their lights stayed consistent no matter how close or far they were from us or what direction they traveled.

We thought someone must have been releasing them like balloons, but it was not possible. There was also No Wind which would have made them move as they did.

These were not balloons.

They traveled in purposeful directions with intent and as they passed right in front of us one after another, over the dark hills of Paradise Valley, it was clearly evident they knew what they were doing and purposefully showed their presence.

There was no sound and they were not from this planet.

Every one of them had a bright orange flare look to them and every one of them was consistent in color and brightness until they faded away.

They all faded away in the same manner with a trickling of light as they seemed to rapidly disappear into the far distance.

This lasted around 20 minutes and we don't know how long they were in the sky before we saw them. But we watched until there were no more.

We never thought to count but there had to be somewhere around 30-50 of them over the 20 some minute span we watched.

This event totally reminded me of the 1997 Lights Over Phoenix Incident; however, this was of a magnitude that blows that event out of the water!

There is no doubt in my mind what we saw and funny thing is, we captured at least one on film but most of them would not show up on our phone cameras despite how bright they were. It was the strangest thing but we documented it.

Additional Information:

Brian, it was last night, Saturday, February 16, 2013.

We left my house about 11:00 p.m. and feel it must have lasted at least 20 minutes if not more. 

I left my report on your site because it was the first choice on Google and already had reports of sightings in Spokane, WA, that told of almost the identical experience we had and it had happened just a few hours before on the same night . 

I have seen lots of sightings over the years and have interesting stories, but this was the most unimaginable and closest encounter ever. 

To see so many Orbs and have them moving in the sky in a way that came at us and continually passed by us, was mind blowing and definite confirmation we are not alone. 

I'm just grateful I wasn't alone for this experience and we were not physically affected.

Witness Observes Brilliant Green Flash Of Light In The Sky From Burbank California


Date:  February 14, 2013
Time:  Approx: 7:20 p.m.

Hey, I came across your posting about the light in the sky on February 14th, 2013 in L.A.

I was driving in Burbank at around 7:20 p.m. and out of the corner the half of the sky lit up in a green flash.

I went online to see if anybody else saw it, and came across your page and another post about it on a site about city data. I thought I was going nuts.

Orange Balls Of Flames Seen In The Sky Over Old Town Kissimmee Florida


Date:  February 16, 2013
Time:  9:00 p.m.

Hi, we have pictures of strange lights, looks like balls of flames, giant boulders rolling, from last night when we were in Old Town, Kissimmee.

Would you like to see the pictures and has anyone else reported anything? Thanks!

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, this was my boys and their Dad, they took some pretty good pictures. They said they were orange flames, very bright, very clear, spinning, as low as an airplane, so low they could see the spinning motion.

They said it was the weirdest thing they have ever seen. I looked on Google, see a lot of sightings in Kissimmee, very similar descriptions, but nothing from last night.

They are on their phones, can you give me your phone number to text them to?

Vike Factor Note: Just waiting on photos and will post when they arrive.

6 Or 7 Red/Orange Lights Seen In The Sky Over Miami Lakes Florida


Date:  February 17, 2013
Time:  Approx: 12:30 a.m.

Last night I saw these same lights, 6 or 7 of them. They were flying up into the atmosphere at first, in a sort of organized formation and then they broke up.

They were reddish/orange and I know they weren’t fireworks because they never exploded and they continued flying up until they disappeared.

I live in Miami Lakes. The lights were coming from the north/northwest around 12:30 a.m. My girlfriend also saw them with me. What is this?
