Ball Of Fire In The Night Sky Over Fresno California


 Date:  July 5, 2014
Time:  Approx: 11:30 p.m.

I've never searched out one of these forums ever, but I was searching for confirmation and a practical answer for what I've witnessed tonight. I stumbled upon this page and thought I'd share.

Today (yesterday now) July 5th 2014 approximately 11:30 p.m., I was travelling eastward on Bullard and once I arrived at Cedar, I noticed what appeared to be an intense ball of fire in the distant southeastern sky (approximately 5 miles SE) in the direction of the airport.

Noting it’s position I quickly dismissed this as a landing plane's headlights until I arrived at Barstow and Cedar (one block south) and the object seemed to indeed be a flame and appeared to hover in the same area and the "flame" seemed to intensify (becoming slightly taller and brighter) then sort of undulate, as if someone were operating a blowtorch.

I watched it while I drove until it was obscured by the Fresno State landscape. Unfortunately I couldn't see that segment of sky from my place. My surveillance lasted about 3 minutes. I'm no expert on physics, but living in a direct flight path (and a not so great neighborhood) I see lots of planes and helicopters in various stages of elevation and haven't seen this effect yet.

Is this an effect of a type of firework a helicopter on fire?

Red Ball Of Light In The Sky Above Redford Michigan


 Date:  July 4, 2014
Time:  Evening.

I was home the night of July 4, 2014 and I went outside to look at the fireworks I was hearing so loudly from inside. While looking up at the sky, I noticed a perfectly round red ball in the southeast sky.

I went inside to get my glasses and the red ball had moved to the northeast. I watched the ball move around the sky in no particular pattern and saw a perfect 5 pointed star outline the size of the ball, within the ball, it was strange.

I went inside to get my cellphone to take a picture, and it was gone. Went outside last night after dark hoping to see it again, but did not. I probably will go out every night now, wanting to see it again.

Three Bright Red Objects/Lights Traveling Over Southwest Florida


 Date:  July 4, 2014
Time:  Evening.

It is July 4, 2014. Tonight while watching the fireworks with my kids we saw the same exact thing you all are describing. There were three bright red objects with a small amount of white that all flew across the sky in the same exact path.

At first I thought it was a firework until it did not explode and then it did not burn out. The light never faded. When I saw the second one coming, I really got nervous wondering what in the world could these be, and by the third one, I just took the kids back inside.

I still have no idea what they are and my husband things I'm crazy. I'm not making it up and I wish someone else would say they saw it too. We live in Southwest Florida.

Three Orange Balls Of Light Floating Over Niles Ohio


 Date:  July 4, 2014
Time:  Evening.

Crazy enough, today: July 4, 2014
I just saw this less than an hour ago. I was pretty confused to say the least. I never discredited people saying they saw things like this, but I never thought I'd see it myself.

Now, I'm only 18, so I feel even more confused by this, what with making me rethink what I hear people say. My family and I were driving home from a show when my dad spotted them.

We all (my dad, mother, sister, niece, and I) all paused for a second, as if waiting for it to explode or burn out like a firework. When It didn’t, we stopped the car and got out. It was three orange balls of light, more of floating about than anything.

There was really no path or formation that they seemed to be following, even with the wind, floating around, and seemingly through each other. Eventually the one began to float away from the other two. They were going slow enough that we could keep up on foot.

We watched them for about two maybe three minutes. They never changed brightness, and did not make a sound. What surprised me even more is how low they were, just above the tree level. We went back to the car to follow them in it, but were unable to find them again.

If I were by myself I doubt I'd believe it, much less tell anyone. I know there's no fireworks that burn for that long and just float about, or any aircraft that flies that low at all, whether it be in silence or not. I found this page as soon as I got home. I don't know how old it is, but I felt I should share this nonetheless.

Red Light Traveled Across The Sky Over Ocala Florida


 Date:  July 4, 2014
Time:  Evening.

Hey just saw your post about the red light in Ocala. I just wanted to let you know my family and I are here visiting my dad. I had my kids at the fireworks tonight near Golden Ocala on Highway 27.

My brother noticed a red, stationary light off in the distance. I dismissed it as maybe a cell tower or something. He argued it was too high to be from a tower. Anyway after sitting still for 20 minutes, we watched it move across the sky.

It was directly in front of us at first. Then moved to our right. We actually had to turn around to keep watching it. It appeared to have a bit of a red "tail" to it seeing it from this different angle. My 3 kids aged 15, 12 and 9 were also watching this, and then it just vanished and we didn't see it again.

Not sure if your still looking for information on this. But thought I would send my story to you anyway. Curious if you've seen others or have gotten any other reports from anyone. Thanks for your time.

Red Glowing Objects/Lights Seen Flying Over Vero Beach Florida


 Date:  July 3, 2014
Time:  Approx: 11:30 p.m.

Tonight around 11:30 p.m. we saw 2 of them. Red glowing orbs traveling in the sky West to East. The first one we saw traveled straight across for about 30 seconds then disappeared. Then my son said, there’s another one!

We freaked out! It did the same thing, traveled straight across the sky and then it was gone. They seem to have "flickered" a bit, almost like a flame? Or a glowing balloon?

But they were consistent and traveled pretty fast. My son got this all on tape. It was wicked scary. We have never seen anything like this.

Red/Orange Colored Lights Spotted Flying In The Night Sky Over Antioch California


Date:  June 2014
Time:  Approx: 5:00 a.m.

I also saw a red/orange light over Antioch California. It was fairly large and prominent. I could see it from the busy highway in the still dark sky.

It could have been a tethered balloon that was lit up. Just not sure. This was June 2014 at about 5:00 a.m.. I did see another orange light over Oakley, California about a week earlier.

It was a bit bigger than a star in the night sky, but it was orange. I had my wife come out and see it. It didn't move but eventually faded away within a few seconds. Could have been the tail of a rocket I suppose. It was odd.

Lights In The Sky Captured On Film Over Lake Buena Vista Orange County Florida (Picture)


 Date:  July 4, 2014
Time:  Approx: 10:00 p.m.

I was on my way to work last night around 10:00 p.m. and saw those lights in the sky over Lake Buena Vista.

Some things I noticed were:

-They made no sound at all. Even an airplane or a helicopter or even a drone from that distance would be audible if even faintly.

-They seemed to be the same distance from each other and kept that distance for as long as I could see them.

-They seemed to be coming from the southeast and headed northwest at an even interval.



-I saw 12 of them.

-They looked like (from my vantage point) they were flickering like a candle in those jars you see in old Italian restaurants.

I do have pictures and video of these things. They were taken with my phone, however they are of decent quality.

Eyewitnesses Baffled After Observing Unusual Lights In The Sky Above Antioch California


Date:  July 4, 2014
Time:  Evening.

Hi, my husband and I were watching the fireworks on top of a hill in our neighborhood and after they were finished we were looking towards Mt. Diablo and to the left I noticed a object that was blinking red and green and to the left of it was another light but further away so all you could see was a faint red color.

The light closest to us started to move towards us quite fast unlike a plane or a helicopter, and then just stopped and hovered for a moment then moved straight to left then straight up in the air and then sideways towards the ground. The other light moved the opposite way but higher up in the sky.

We watched both of the lights for about 5 minutes moving up, down, sideways, slantways and also going straight down like it was going to land. I then grabbed our binoculars to see them better and the furthest light disappeared into thin air and the light closest to us went straight down into a neighborhood an disappeared as well.

Both my husband and I were in utter shock and could not explain what we had just experienced. We thought maybe someone had a remote control droid or I thought when I first saw it it was a firework, but as we sat there and tried to come up with everything it could have been they came back and began dancing around in the sky again and poof they were gone again.

We both believe that it had to of been something not from this planet and let me tell ya, I felt as if I was watching a TV show about UFO sightings or an episode of X-Files.

Safe to say it was an experience I never thought I would have and will never forget and still want to know what it truly was.

Warm Regards.

There were 116 UFO sightings reported in the city last year alone, with the average encounter lasting 13 minutes.

UFOs Filled The Skies Over Northern British Columbia – Hundreds Of Eyewitnesses File Reports


If you care to write to Brian Vike, he can be reached at 3 different email addresses. Brian’s most used email today is at sighting@telus.net, also he still has his old email address, hbccufo@telus.net as this address went along with a huge website Brian built up and ran until 2009. Also, one other address is v_factor_paranormal@live.com

Do keep in mind, Brian did retire, but he is working on a very large report on the amazing UFO flap which took place over British Columbia, Canada back in 2002 and 2003.

Everything from Cattle Mutes, Crop Circles, Triangle Craft, Alien abductions and some of the most amazing UFO sightings to have been reported. Large cases involving numerous witnesses, 200 people for one case alone. UFOs hitting the water, only to lift back up out of the water and battle it out with another unknown craft.  Reports never stopped pouring in, for Brian, it was one of the busiest times to be a UFO investigator.

Also some really interesting UFO footage which still remains a mystery to this day, and the experts have tried to figure out what the object/objects are in the video footage. The media went wild over what was happening in the skies up north. Most of all the cases remain unsolved.

If anyone has a British Columbia UFO sighting, no matter where or when the sighting took place on, please do drop Brian a line as he does want to know if there could be a relationship with other sighting reports he received all across this large, and beautiful province. Also the reports will be sent to B.C. investigators to be dealt with. Of course, Brian will do some checking as well behind the scene.

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. 
http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.ca/2013/10/ufo-lands-and-alien-beings-take-two-men.html

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.

Promote Your UFO/Horror Related Books/Movies/Documentaries


I will be removing 4 books from the sidebar at the end of this week, September 6, 2013. If you would like your UFO product promoted for 6 months at no cost, please drop Brian Vike an email at sighting@telus.net. Actually I will be making more room on the side bar as well.

Over the years I have had a ton of UFO related material, mostly books sent from book publishers, and some from authors who wrote the books.

Also DVD movies/Documentaries covering UFOs, Sasquatch and Horror have showed up from companies asking me to promote their product. I have review some awesome stuff.

Anyway, all I ask is you contact me, send a copy of the product and I will post a review on it, post the image of the product and link to where it can be purchased which will be promoted on the sidebar for 6 months, and in posts.

Any material is to be sent to Brian Vike.
