Hi List,
A Night To Remember

Date: Friday, February 1, 2002,
Time: 9:00 PM
Location: 3 Kilometers east of Telkwa,
British Columbia,
Canada on HYW #16
Viewing Time: approx. 90 seconds.
Weather Conditions: Overcast

Woodmere UFO Sighting

I was contacted by a friend who told me about three ladies who
went to Smithers, British Columbia, Canada for a days shopping.
Once they had their day outing the ladies left Smithers at
approx: 8:45 PM Friday night, February 1, 2002 on their way home
to Houston, B.C. It was a dark and overcast night as they
traveled the 45 minutes back to Houston on highway #16 heading
east. After passing through the small community of Telkwa just 3
kilometers east they all noticed a "very" bright light glowing
through the overcast sky. While they watched this bright light
in the distance their thoughts were that it was the moon shining
through, they gasped as this object poked slowly through the
cloud cover descending as it drew closer in their direction.

The witnesses were traveling at a speed of 90 kilometers per
hour with the glowing object coming toward them. One of the
girls thought it may be a bomb or something as she remembered
the world terrorist events of recent times. The glowing light
dropped a head of them just above the tree tops, still moving in
their direction and getting closer to the highway.

The closer the light came to them, the larger it grew in size.

As the seconds passed, all three witnesses became curious as to
what this was and had slowed the car to approx: 50 kilometers
per hour to get a better look. The bright light was almost above
the vehicle. The driver of the car stepped on the gas and sped
up to put some distance between them and the light which now
turned out to be a "huge" craft. One of the girls who was
sitting in the back seat of the small car turned around and lay
her back over the console between the driver and passengers
seat, watching the object as it passed over the car. This
witness who was looking up as it passed overhead of the vehicle
said there were 7 very large, bright white lights passing
overhead with 2 orange lights at either end.

Very shaken, nervous and cold running through them they headed
quickly towards home as the object still continued along its way
toward the Telkwa area. They mentioned that other vehicles were
on the highway and had to have seen the object due to it's size
and brightness. These ladies also said that a pick up truck
passed them at a good rate of speed just seconds down the road
after this incident.

Investigators note:

I went to interview the three ladies on Sunday night, February
3, 2002 at a friends home. While we were discussing this
encounter one of them got a good case of the goose bumps. She
said she was happy that she wasn't alone when this took place
because she was so frightened not knowing what this object was.
She also noted that if she had been alone she would never have
said anything about what she witnessed due to not being believed
by others.

The witnesses drew a sketch of the object which passed overhead
and I will have that on my website very soon. It was similar to
a boomerang in shape and a "guestimate" of size would have
placed this object at about 450 feet from end to end.

I also contacted newspapers and radio stations throughout the
area to see if any other witnesses to this sighting had come
forward but was told no one had reported seeing any type of
object that night. I also contacted the Houston RCMP asking if
anyone had made a report but was told no. They did though take a
report from me, asking for the names of the witnesses which I
declined to give. I then contacted the Smithers RCMP Detachment
asking the same question and as far as they knew nothing had
been reported to them either, but the receptionist asked me if a
constable could contact me to get more information on this
sighting. An RCMP constable did call and I told him what I knew.
He then asked me if I would give him some personal information
about myself. I agreed and the RCMP constable asked for my full
name, weight, height, color of my eyes, hair color, drivers
license number and my street number and mailing address which I
was happy to give to him. He told me he had already contacted
the Houston RCMP detachment and the Smithers Airport Tower
asking if they had any information about what was seen on
February 1, 2002. The Smithers RCMP now has an open file on this
case.

Update: This morning (February 14th 2002), I checked my email
and found that another good friend and excellent UFO
investigator wrote telling me of a sighting which took place
between January 29 & 31st of 2002 approximately 6 km east of
Burns Lake, BC. So something is taking place in and around our
area.

Military Exercise Taken Place:

On February 7, 2002 we left Smithers Airport finally after
having a flight to Vancouver cancelled the previous day due to
bad weather. There was a low cloud ceiling and the Dash 8-300
aircraft was not able to make a landing. But we rebooked for
Thursday, February 7, 2002 to fly out of Smithers, BC. Finally
the plane landed and we boarded the aircraft. The pilot's voice
came over the PA announcing that the planes wings would need to
be de-icing before take off. After all was done and we taxied
out onto the runway, the pilot again made an announcentment
informing all the passengers that we were going to have to make
a "slight" detour from our planned flight to Vancouver, BC. His
explanation was military exercises were taking place "somewhere"
along our flight path.

Now knowing that two UFO sightings had just taken place in our
area, I started to wonder if there was any connection to these
incidents or was this just a routine practice planned in
advance. I asked the stewardess what the pilot meant by this
minor adjustment in the flight plan and she did ask the pilot
and the answer I got was that the military can call for an
exercise at anytime.

After I got home from my brief holiday south, I made several
phone calls to enquire about any military exercise taking place
in and around British Columbia at the time we had left for
Vancouver. I contacted the military Public Affairs at Comox
which is on Vancouver Island. I was informed that this gentleman
was not aware of any type of exercises taking place at or around
February 7 as I was told. The Public Affairs Officer informed me
that he could not understand why the pilot would mention any
military exercises occurring as they like to keep a low profile
and not interfere with public transportation. I personally
thought his statement a little strange.

I then contacted the Smithers Airport flight tower and asked a
few questions. I enquired if they were aware of any type of
military happenings taking place on the designated flight path
to Vancouver from Smithers BC. They also were not aware of
anything regarding this matter. But I was told by the folks at
the Smithers Flight tower that there were several locations in
British Columbia which the Canadian military use for low and
high level flight exercises. There are two areas around Knight
Inlet on the west coast and another which was mentioned was a
1000 square kilometer area around Antahim Lake here close to my
area. This part of the country is east of the southern end of
Tweedsmuir Park (a wilderness area).

Investigators note:

I am not stating here that there is any type of cover up, but
only gathering the facts which may or may not have anything to
do with these sightings early in February, 2002. We do though
need to check into any and all ideas which may lead to our
military knowing something about these objects (crafts) seen by
a number of creditable witnesses.

Also due to the number of UFO reports I have received for 2001
there may be something taking place around the Bulkley Valley
(Houston to Smithers B.C.) The total reports I have received are
6 for this area plus the two recent cases I have been working
on.

Update for the February 1, 2002 sighting - Investigators note:

There has been another witness who reported seeing something
large and very unusual on Friday, February 1, 2002. I just found
out yesterday February 12, 2002 and I am trying to track this
witness down.

This case is ongoing.

Date: Friday, February 3, 2002,
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Houston, British Columbia,
Canada - Industrial Park
Over Bulkley River
Viewing Time: approx. 30 seconds.
Weather Conditions: Overcast - Light Snow Flurries


Houston Industrial Park Sighting


On Sunday, February 3, 2002 another sighting was reported to me
which took place in my home town of Houston, B.C. There were two
witnesses (husband & wife). While this couple were at their
residence which is above their business the wife heard a loud
humming noise coming from outside. She got up to investigate,
looking out a couple of windows before she noticed a very bright
white object hovering above the Bulkley River just north a few
hundred yards from their place of residence. She called to her
husband to come and see it. They both witnessed this large
bright white object shooting beams of light down towards the
river hovering at tree top level. This sighting lasted approx:
30 seconds from the time it was discovered before it shot up the
side of the mountain and disappeared. I was told the speed of
this object was incredible to say the least. This couple told me
they were going to call the Houston RCMP thinking that the
object had crashed into the side of the mountain but did not as
the object continued it's course up the mountain and out of
sight before they knew what was going on.

Investigators Note:

I have visited the area where this craft was hovering, but have
not found any trace evidence of any kind. Mind you we had about
4 inches of snow late the night of this sighting. I have also
taken photos of this area for my files.

This case is ongoing.
---------------------------


Reported sightings for 2001 I have been working on:

1. Houston British Columbia, Canada, July 2001 - A fellow walks
into the Houston Food Mart telling of an object hovering approx:
500 feet above a transmitting tower on Mount Harry Davis here in
Houston, BC. This object was emitting sparks off the bottom side
shooting down towards the transmitting tower. This sighting
lasted when noted approx: 25 seconds before completely
disappearing before the witnesses eyes. This witness was a hard
fellow to track down, but I did finally catch up to him.

2. Houston, British Columbia, Canada, January 1999 -
Snowmobilers on the Telkwa Mountain Range watched a silver/black
disc shaped object hover in the distance. There was more than
one witness to this sighting. Many people spend the winter
months snowmobiling in the area due to the amount of snow we
receive each year. One of the favorite places to go is the
Telkwa Mountain Range and this is where this sighting took
place. My wife and I dropped into a local restaurant for dinner
one night, after finishing our meal I went to pay for it and I
was asked about the HBCC UFO logo on my jacket, and after
explaining what it was the owner went on to tell me of a
sighting he had with others. He mentioned that they all watched,
including a couple of tourists this silver/black disc shaped
object hover in the distance. He also said it was hard to make
out what this really was due to the distance away, but he did
tell me what ever it was sat and hovered for some time before
vanishing completely.

3. Houston to Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, September 2002
- A man driving west towards Smithers from Houston on Highway #
16 around Grouse Mountain watched a white light streak low over
the valley below him. He claims the light was white in color and
very bright. The UFO sighting lasted only a few seconds.

4. Houston to Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, August 2001 -
Husband and his wife watched a large white light (object) east
of Telkwa. Telkwa is between Smithers and Houston. The object
which was reported was of a very large size and glowing
brightly. The UFO encounter lasted approx: 20 seconds before
disappearing rapidly to the north.

5. Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, September 2001 - A woman
who runs a cafe at the (deleted by HBCC ) mentioned to me that
she witnessed a bright glowing white object about five months
ago which shot across the sky, came to a complete stop, and then
disappeared up and out of sight. She told me she had not
mentioned this before to anyone until now when she talked to me.

6. Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, August 2001 - A security
officer, person who checks out (deleted by HBCC) told me her
friends had witnessed a multi colored object hovering for a few
seconds in the Smithers area, and shot off very quickly.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may know something or
seen something about the above sightings. Also fellows if any of
you receive a report from Northern British Columbia I would be
very grateful if you would let me know.

Thank you very much
