Some Of The Things We Saw Were Literally Out Of This World
HBCC UFO Research received another fasinating look back in history, a letter from a gentleman who was kind enough to take the time and write up and submit the report. For me personally, these are "treasures" and a look back in time. Without these wonderful people who come forward with valuable information, we as UFOligists can't bring these truly wonderful story's to the general public. I really do encourage folks who were maybe stationed at the different military bases around the United States, here in Canada or bases around the world to write to me with this important information. Please always note, that I respect everyone's personal information and do not give it out to anyone. Brian Vike - Director of HBCC UFO Research hbccufo@telus.net
Also I would like to point out that permission was granted to leave the report intact as it was sent, the only thing HBCC UFO Research did, was to remove a couple of the last names for two individuals in this report.
I am retired military, U.S.Navy. My first duty station after apprentice training was at Naval Station, Adak Island, Alaska. I was assigned to the fire department as a fireman. I was not to keen on the idea of riding on the back step of a fire truck or fighting fires, so being a reasonably intelligent person and one of the few in the department that completed high school and could read and write, I got the job of department dispatcher. It was a nice desk job, I worked 7-4, 5 days a week and when all the other guys were out training I hung out in the dispatch office with one of the civilian fire chiefs.
There was 5 of them, 4 at the fire station and one was assigned as the crash crew chief at the airfield. What was so unusual about these fellows was they were in their 50's and all near the end of their careers, and prior to coming out to the island, they had worked at the fire/crash department at Edwards/Muroc Air Force Base!
This was in the early 70's so most of their early career (late 40's,50's and 60's ) was at Edwards/Muroc during the period when all the experimental testing was going on there. I became really close with the fire chief Ed and an assistant chief Ron. They knew all the Mercury astronauts plus anybody else that went through there. They recovered Edwards body the guy the base was named after. Yeager, Armstrong they knew them all.nIn the book/movie "The Right Stuff", there is a scene where Yeager bails out of the plane when he lost control and he comes walking out of the desert carrying his chute. A pick up truck comes driving up to retrieve him. Well, in real life they were those guys and they seriously thought they were looking for a body!
It was many years after they told me that story, that I saw it re-enacted on the big screen and realized that I had heard this story before. I'm like an idiot standing up in the theater pointing at the screen saying, "Hey I know those guys!" Well of course in the many hours of them telling me story's of their adventures at Edwards on the crash crew, watching Buzz Aldrin learn to control the prototype of the Lunar Lander and seeing the various other experimental planes, I remember once asking Ed and Ron if they had ever witnessed anything "weird". Ron looked at Ed and after a moment he quietly said, "some of the things we saw, were literally out of this world."
I didn't think much about it at the time and even later on thought they were talking of the SR-71 which landed once at Adak while I was there, or the U-2, you know exotic conventional planes. But, since reading about Cooper's encounter at Edwards with the saucer landing there and the possible visit of "Ike" at Edwards with "ET visitors" and some of the other statements coming out from people who also were at Edwards when there were encounters with "craft". I now know what they were talking about. And I believe them to be true.
Massive UFO With Red Lights
Near Delaware River, Northeast Philadelphia
Date: December 24, 2001
Time: 11:30 p.m.
First saw a bright white light which I thought was a helicopter. Went to my window, and noticed it wasn't coming from helicopter, just straight down from something at low altitude. No lights seen at that time, but then when this object moved I saw the apparent tail-end of the object, bright red lights. It changed course and moved toward New Jersey. I saw these red lights outlining a massive object. By massive I don't mean airliner size, I mean aircraft carriers size. I'm using the plural, not the singular. It was a dark night, meaning there were no planes flying, no choppers flying, because it was Christmas Eve. It headed east after changing course from the northeast.
The area I live in is called Northeast Philadelphia. The craft changed course due east just at the part where Northeast Philadelphia ends. The height of this object would be 2-3 times that of the diameter of a full moon. It moved slowly. The length was massive. There it was , just these bright red lights, rectangular, obviously from some type of craft. Just moving slowly, much slower than an airplane, like, here we are, just cruising by , not bothering anybody, just observing.
A Round Sphere Above The Trees
Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, Virginia
I was just surfing the net and saw this piece of news. I was stationed in NAS Oceana from 2002 to 2005. I can't remember the month now that I saw this round sphere just above the trees. But what occurred was, I went to the back side of the hangar of VFA-37 where I was attached at the time. I was talking to one of my squadron mates. I know that late afternoon there were no flights and everything was quite in the surrounding area. As I look up on the direction of the sky. There just above the trees, a round sphere object appeared out of the cloudless sky as if its force field or invisible shield was suddenly off.
Because me and this guy was talking out there for awhile. When I saw it, I looked and told my squadron mate, Hey! Did you see that. And for sure when he looked up it was gone. And I told him what a just saw, but I guess he never believe me. And when I told people of my experience, they thought it was a joke or something. You know, fighter jets all around, radars, etc. and yet right there, on base. On a patch of trees in-between the flight line, a round sphere just above the tree. If they asked me where I saw it I'll tell them exactly. There might still be residues emitted by the object after two and half years since my retirement. If know one believes me, I don't care, because I saw what I saw. And I hardly believe things until I see it myself. Unexpectedly.
A Black Triangle UFO
Orleans, Ontario
Date: Mid-August 2005
Time: Between 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Between 5:00 and 6:00pm the sky was clear with no clouds. My wife, my two kids and I were exiting the building and going to the vehicle when I looked up and noticed a bunch of crows flying from North to South. The crows were flying around 80 to 100 feet high. The whole family looked up. I then noticed a black triangular object flying at least 1 mile high moving very fast, no noise from North to South. We all saw it and wondering what it was. However as it was moving so fast I didn't even have time to power on my camcorder. The object disappear into the horizon. I know how a stealth bomber looks like and how it sounds once it has passed. This object didn't make no sound whatsoever. We decided not to say anything of what we saw, knowing how people react to such sightings. Nevertheless, we now do believe that there is existence of UFO's.
Object That Changed Shape
Florida Panhandle
Date: January 27, 2008
Time: 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.
I have been reporting my sighting since it happened on January 27, 2008. I am beginning to feel depressed because it's taking over my mind and thoughts. It was in broad daylight when I saw it and saw it change forms, it showed me what things it can do. I have to pass this information on so I can be at peace. I feel as though for some reason they chose me to carry this information onto someone. It came to me while I sat happily and peacefully in my own back yard. I have found a picture of it, that i have book marked.
Unusual UFO Sighting
Apalachicola, Florida
Date: January 27, 2008
Time: Early day
I was sitting in the back yard with my 90 year old mother, my 9 month old grandson, and my cousin. I was saying, " it's such a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, the sky is so pretty and blue and what the hell is that". I didn't have to look to the left or right it was right over my head moving slow to the west. It looked like an anvil just floating through the air. I locked my eyes on it and the next thing I knew it was this capsule looking thing that looked old and rustic. Looking at it I got a feeling that this thing has been coming to earth for a very long time.
Still having my eyes locked on it, that's when I saw a big metallic "flash", that old rust bucket looking thing has changed into a dumbbell shaped metallic thing inside a square box, but the box was blending in with the blue sky. The dumbbell shape changed into a bowtie shape, but with the middle longer and a little bit thicker, then along came the seagulls. Before the seagulls, there was only one sound that I heard and that was me saying "look, look, look, see, see, see, ohh, oh, oh. Until now did I notice that seagulls have an illuminated glow when flying in the sunlight. This thing took on the illuminated glow of the seagulls, yes it went from metallic to a white glow just as the seagulls have. It was trying to camouflage itself in the seagulls. Then it changed again into the old rustic shape thing again as it floated off to the west, with more seagulls that were flying against it coming from the west.
A Very Bright White Pulsating Light
Whitby, Ontario
Date: February 27, 2008
Time: 6:35 p.m.
Very bright white pulsating light, not moving anywhere. Upon both me and my boss noticing the object it 'blipped' out instantly and was gone. Defiantly not a helicopter or airplane.
A Flash Followed By A Green Object Falling From The Sky
Over Whitby, Ontario
Date: February 28, 2008
Time: 9:00 p.m.
I was filling air in my tires at a gas station in north Whitby and I had been there for about 10-15 minutes. All the sudden I noticed a flash in my peripheral vision, and when I looked up I saw what looked like a green firework falling from the sky. It lasted for only a few seconds and then disappeared! It was a clear night, and there was no noticeable trail of smoke or anything like that.
Lights Lined Up In A Row
South Of Dulles International Airport In Virginia
Date: March 2, 2008
Time: Evening
These lights were lined up in a row flying West NW. There was a plane flying toward the lights leaving the airports that had to see this object or objects in its path. By the time I ran inside to get my cell phone for a video the lights were gone. They were very large lights probably flying at around 20,000 - 30,000 feet. There objects made no strange moves but the speed was much faster than an airplane. They were in and out of sight within seconds and you can usually see the lights of a approaching or landing airplane for a minute or so in night sky.
Red Lights Stretched Out Across The Sky
St. Louis, Missouri
Date: March 2, 2008
Time: 7:15 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.
Went outside when I heard a huge waterfall like roar. My girlfriend and I saw about 6 red, plus lights moving in a perfect line spaced perfectly apart in unison. They were stretched out about 1/2 to a mile long. About 15 minutes later fighter jets flew over. In no way were the red lights planes because they did not look, sound, nor act like planes.
Orange Lights
South Of Rolla, Missouri
Date: March 2, 2008
Time: Just before 8:00 p.m.
I live a couple of miles south of Rolla Missouri. On March 2, just before 8:00pm, I also saw the orange lights in question. I called my brother (who lives next door) and he and his wife both came out and watched the lights with me for about ten minutes and they stopped appearing shortly after 8:00pm. The lights appeared in a SE-SSE direction, which correlates with the sighting near Salem.
Each light would glow for about four seconds at a time, then disappear for a few minutes, before lighting up in a different location. The exception seemed to be the 'double light' which looked like two of the lights in close proximity - the distance between the two did not seem to change and they lit up at exactly the same time and the pair always lit up in the same location. There may have been as many as six objects, but we only saw a maximum of three at once.
I have also seen these lights in the same area a couple of times last fall, once with my brother. At first, I thought it was the burner of a hot-air balloon, but I couldn't imagine anyone flying one at night. Sunday night was the first time I have seen more than one light at a time. It was very windy, with a storm front moving in, and I knew nobody would be flying balloons in that kind of weather. This was my third sighting of these lights, and by far the most extensive. My brother has seen them with me twice now, and his wife reported seeing them by herself before.
Fast Moving Object Reflecting The Sunlight
Burnaby, British Columbia
Date: March 4, 2008
Time: Approx: 7:15 a.m.
This morning around 7:15am I was working and my window faces southwest. I saw an object traveling very fast northbound harshly reflecting the rising sun. I work near Hwy. 1 so the traffic helicopters are seen daily. I didn't see any shape of a helicopter! If it was one I could have easily seen it from my position. Anyways, just a heads up in case somebody else reports something.
Unknown Craft With Oval Shaped Object Hanging Below It (Diagram)
Sudbury, Ontario
Date: March 4, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Who do I get hold of as I am watching the things in the sky. Is there somebody you can call right away to confirm what you are seeing, example last night (March 4, 2008 10:00 pm) I was looking out my window when I noticed what I thought was just a plane. I could only see the lights, no shapes until it got closer. You could see an oval object hanging down from it. It was traveling from the east going west when suddenly a jet coming from the west and went over top of it. It suddenly turned and started going east also. As I live in an apartment block my view was obstructed, so I could not see what happened. However, I am a very avid sky watcher and this is not the first time I have seen strange sightings. With one sighting I tried to call the police. They just said no other calls came in about anything. So I would appreciate it if you could give me a phone number to call as it is happening so others could verify what I am seeing. I live in Sudbury Ontario.
Additional Information:
The art work is not the best but this is approximately what I saw. It was dark outside so I could not see the shape of the top vessel or even if there was one. It was just like a big globe of light but bright enough to show what looked like a cord holding a large oval about twenty-five feet below the light. The plane or jet was coming from the opposite direction though it was really high up turned and went in the same direction.
This is the first time I had ever seen a jet do that which really spiked my interest. I had thought maybe the army was transporting some piece of machinery but I've never seen a helicopter or plane that was a large orb of light nor one that the light reflected down. It is good to talk to someone who listens where this is concerned because as I stated in my last letter I am really an avid sky watcher and though it doesn't happen all that often I do see things out of the ordinary. The one before this was June 2005 (that was the one I called the police) was just a large very bright ball of light that grew really bright and seemed to explode but then in the exact same spot the ball grew again exploded again then once more the last one it did not come back . That one was seen by a few other people I found out later but in different places at different times.

Bright Object Turns Red In Color
Seaside, Oregon
Date: March 5, 2008
Time: 6:55 p.m.
It was a perfectly clear night (quite unusual for my area) and almost dark. I was talking on the phone and just looking at the night sky and I saw a super bright star. It was so bright that I though maybe it was a satellite, plus it was stationary. I was talking for about 10 minutes and instantly the light changed to bright red and rapidly flew north. I ran outside to see where it was going, but it flew so fast that it was out of my sight in an instant.
A Bright Star Like Object
Altoona, Iowa
Date: March 5, 2008
Time: 11:50 p.m.
When I first noticed this object I just thought it was a star at first. Once again I was just looking out my back patio window. Then I looked In the western sky and I saw a bright star-like object. Like I said, I just thought it was a star, it was bright though and looked to low to be a star and then twenty minutes later I looked at it again and it was moving slowly over Prairie Meadows. This object was stationary for about twenty minutes. It was at a height at about 700 feet and was heading north very slowly. It appeared to be fairly large and it was to the west of my house. The weather tonight is clear and cold. The object was behind some trees, but was bright enough to still see. I watched it for about five minutes until I couldn't see it any longer.
A Large Green Streak In The Sky
Barrie Ontario
Date: March 5, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.
The report below came into me through the submissions area, I cannot reply to the person due to them being anonymous even to me.
Sitting in my hot tub around 11:00pm just north of Barrie Ontario, I noticed a large green streak of light that looked like a firework, just a couple km's away. The green light turned to bright orange and then fell behind the house in front of ours. However, when my dad and I drove for km's in the direction of the object we found nothing. Was this space debris (like a piece of the spy satellite)- falling farther away that we had thought? Or something else? Anyone else see it?
Green Meteor Sighting
London, Ontario
Date: March 5, 2008
Time: 11:00 p.m.
I'm in London, Ontario and on March 5 2008 around 11:00pm I also seen a green meteor ( for about 3 sec) traveling north and coming straight down towards the earth. It had a small head and a very short tail and it was also very low. I thought it came down just north of town but never heard any sound (crash). I always see shooting stars and meteors and I even seen a fireball, but this was the first time I ever saw anything with a vivid green color. It was breath taking, but left me feeling a little uneasy. I would love to know what this thing really was and is it a normal sighting.
