(HBCC UFO Note: Granisle is a small town 45 minutes northeast from where I live in Houston, British Columbia, Canada. Granisle has a population of 400 residents and the main industries are tourism and logging. Once the site of a copper mine. (Granisle Copper & Bell Copper) who had two large open pit mines).
I was contacted by a gentleman ( RCMP Officer) recently who gave me quite a story. The witness was with another fellow driving north just a couple of kilometers south of Granisle, B.C. (their exact location when they viewed the craft was at Topley Landing). The two large forest companies here in Houston have a barge which runs back and forth across Babine Lake carrying logging trucks. The old Bell Copper mine is directly across the lake from the witnesses position. An approximate guess would be a 3/4 to 1 mile between the craft and the witnesses.
The officers observed a large glowing orange/gold almost saucer shaped (oval?) object hovering right over top the old Bell Copper mine. They said it was very low to the ground. At this point they pulled over to have a look and to try to figure out what they were seeing. As they watched the object hover, it would rise up very slowly and come to a complete stop, move sideways then stop and drop down roughly the same height from the ground when the witnesses first saw it. HBCC UFO Note: I asked if they witnessed any type of light coming from the object, meaning a downwards beam of light. They both told me no, no lights were seen coming from the object. They did say that it almost looked as if every time the object moved to another position and dropped back down, it seemed to them the light intensity grew from the object while it stayed stationary. At "one" point the object moved out over the lake and stopped for a few seconds, then went back over top the mine once again.
They mentioned they heard no sound at all, but keeping in mind that the two fellows were some distance away from the object when viewing it. (HBCC UFO Note: I asked them if they could give me an approximate size of this UFO). Their rough estimate was about the size of the Moon (maybe a hair smaller). They also said there were a few other cars and trucks that passed by them at the time, but no one stopped.
But they did say that everyone traveling the highway had to have seen it, you couldn't miss it. They said the area around the object, (ground area) was lit up for some distance. Also due to the brightness of the craft it cast it's reflection on the lake. The men watched this event for approximately 7 minutes before it rose up and left slowly heading north, still at a low altitude and out of their sight.
(HBCC UFO Note: I found this a very interesting case to work on. Three things came to mind. Why was this craft sitting over the old Granisle/ Bell Copper mine? Why did it move and stop over top of the lake? Why did the intensity seem to grow when it moved to a new position and hover? Actually I have a million questions I could think of to ask, but who? I am not sure if I can gain access to the mine, but I am going to check into it, as I would love to take a drive out to have a look around. Also something to keep in mind, Granisle Copper & Bell Copper mine's sit on an island on Babine Lake. Since the mines have been closed for sometime it may be hard to get onto the property.
Also rumors have been floating around that one of the companies were thinking of going back in and high grading the remaining ore. One other note to this story which may be of interest. On the mine site there have been a good number of fossils found, one which has brought a lot of attention has been the Mammoth. Bones have been found, and also were buried by the mine some time ago when it was in operation. From a newspaper article in the Smithers Interior newspaper a while back the company thought it best to not have their mining operation stopped, or slowed down by having folks digging for these fossils.

California - Deputy Sheriff Witnessed 4 To 6 Diamond Shaped Objects
Posted: December 29, 2007
Date: October 30, 2004 Time: Approx: Midnight
Brian, I have never been a believer in UFO’s, I’m still not sure if I am. Let me tell you my story. I am a Deputy Sheriff in (removed) California. On 10-30-04, at about midnight, I was on patrol driving down the main street of the city. I saw faint golden glow in the western sky moving slowly. I pulled my vehicle into a dark parking lot to get a better look. I saw 4 to 6 lights almost diamond shaped traveling E/N in the sky. It didn’t look any higher than the average aircraft would fly in the area (we live close to a large Navy Air War Base). I noticed there was no sound from the air craft which seemed impossible for the altitude it was traveling. I watched it for about 15 minutes until it disappeared into the eastern sky.
I wrote it off as something the Navy base was involved with, but has bothered me since that time. Tonight (11-8-04) curiosity got the best of me and I looked up a UFO website just for something to do. I located a UFO sighting report dated 10-30-04, at 11:00 a.m. from Phoenix AR. I chuckled when I read the report because it sounded like what I saw but I thought any story could sound like mine. I saw that there were pictures I could look at so I did. My heart almost stopped. The photographs were exactly what I saw. I don’t know what to believe. I always thought UFO’s were for crack pots.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

St. John's, New Foundland RCMP Reports UFO Hovering Over Police Vehicle
Posted: December 29, 2007
Date: 1969 Time: 2:00 a.m.
Message: I was reading an article on line contained in the St. John's newspaper the Telegram about UFO's. This goes back some years when I was a member of the RCMP stationed in St. John's, NL. It would be in 1969 when another Police Officer and I were on Night Patrol just outside of St. John's at around 2:00 a.m. in the morning. It was at a little jute overlooking the ocean in Middle Cove/Outer Cove, NL area. We noted a very bright white light hovering over our police vehicle and had no idea what it was. At different times it would change colours ie bright white, than red, than green , back to white red etc. We would put our police car red light on and it would turn red.
We would put our police car's siren and whopper on and it would imitate these sounds. It would be over us one minute and than over the ocean and than back over us. We had our night desk man check with the St. John's airport to see if anything was showing up on radar , but nothing was. We played with this UFO for about 1/2 hour and as suddenly as it appeared it left . One minute it was there and than it was just a bright white beam of light leaving. It traveled out of our sight faster than one could snap ones fingers. Hope this may be of some use to you. I don't know what it was but it sure wasn't earthly, as far as I could tell or am concerned.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Colfax, Wisconsin Retired Parole Officer Observes Strange Object
Posted: December 29, 2007
Date: February 3, 2005 Time: Evening
Message: Last night I was driving down to the local grocery store here in Colfax, Wi when I noticed an unusual light moving erratically through the night sky. I am aware of the approach to the nearest airport and the typical movement of airliners and this object was moving fast, had bright flashing lights and was erratic appearing to stop and slow down and then moving quickly up and off again into another direction. I decided I was going to drive out of town and follow it, as it looked to be headed out near my brothers house when suddenly in my head I heard this voice say, if you follow this you could have a flat tire and then what are you going to do.
I am a retired parole officer though and also a practicing psychic and I felt compelled to follow this thing. So, I continued on the course down Highway 40 and a minute later my rear left tire blew out. Call if what you will, I think it is weird. Divine intervention perhaps. Real coincidence? perhaps. My undying investigative however will not be overcome by a flat tire the next time, and shall I observe these lights again I will no doubt do my best to figure out what the heck is going on here.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

A Police Officer In Texico, New Mexico Investigates Lights Over School
Posted: December 29, 2007
Date: 1970's
Hi I just read your article on the UFO sightings in the area back in the 70's. Before my Dad passed away I remember him talking about a friend of his that was a police officer in Texico. I don't remember his name, but the story was that he was called to the high school to investigate lights on the roof of the school. From what my Dad had said, is that high schoolers would on occasion clown around on the roof so he was to shoo them away. When he arrived he described what he thought were flashlights on the roof but he couldn't see anyone holding the lights and that they came down to the ground a little distance from him then flew away.
That's all I remember my Dad telling me because that was some years ago. Also I personally have some pictures that I took 2 summers ago in Portales which is 20 miles from Clovis. Nobody I talked to about these pictures seemed to believe me and they did not come out as well as I would have liked. I can send them to you if you like just so you can see the light I saw. But that is a whole other story on my part and has nothing to do with the 70's sightings.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Hi Brain
In 1972, I was a sergeant in the South African Police, with eight years of service, in the small South African town, Fort Beaufort. The morning of June 26, I received a report of an object which appeared on the farm Breaside, which belonged to a Mr. Bennie Smit. At that stage I did not know Mr. Smit well. I persuaded the Station Commander, Warrant Officer Philip Van Rensburg to accompany me to the scene. On the farm we met Mr. Smit and some of his workers including a worker by the name of Boer de Klerk. Boer told us that during the morning when he was in the veld at the reservoir when he witnessed a round "ball of fire" which changed in colours, hovering about 20 meters above the ground and which were slowly moving in the direction of the hill, which separates the farm from the Fort Fordyce bush.
On our arrival we did not witness any suspicious objects. We did the initial investigation and were skeptical. At that stage we were seven people. Four laborers, 2 policemen and Mr. Smit. Whilst we were standing looking at the hill which were 150 meters from us, I saw an object which emerged from the thick bush and vegetation at the foot of the hill and hovered just above the vegetation. It moved slowly to our right and again disappeared behind the thick bush. It did this movement a couple of times and I had the feeling that we were being watched. Mr. Smit had a .303 rifle with him and I decided to take a shot at it. The object were oval shaped and it was difficult to estimate the size of it. might have been just over a meter in diameter.
It had a shiny dark metal grey colour. I fired three shots at it, hitting with each shot.Mr. Smit also fired at the object. During firing at it, I saw a sharp bright light, flickering on the right of the craft, just above it. During the shots it also disappeared and emerged again from behind the trees. It was in broad daylight after 10am in the morning and the weather was clear. Mr. Smit and some of the workers went into the bush with a handkerchief, tied to a stick enabling us to direct him. We noticed that the object moved away as if it were reacting to our voices giving direction to the searchers. I heard further shots coming from close to where we last seen the object disappeared and Mr. Smit enquiring if we could see it. We kept observation but did not see its departure. According to Smit who claimed that they came close to it.
The object turned upright and became a greyish white in colour before it veered of making a whirring sound. It just disappeared. The following day we combed the area with other police officers and found nine evenly spread circular imprints about 10cm in diameter in the soil directly from where we saw it disappearing behind the bushes. The imprints were in hard clay soil easily 25 - 30 mm deep, as if the legs were spiraled in the ground. Samples were taken and send to the Council for Scientific & Industrial research Laboratories. Apparently it never reached them.
Also of interest is that a couple of days later in the evening the town engineer Dr. D. Verschoor, interrupted a Council meeting to show the councilors a UFO flashing in colours as it moved in the direction of the Fort Fordyce bush and Breaside
On Saturday 8 July during the night, Mr. Smit heard a loud explosion on his farm. On investigation the next morning he discovered that his reservoir, which were constructed of brick and cement were shattered and large concrete blocks were lying up to 20 meters away from the actual site. Another mysterious incident, never solved.
Thank you again to the witness for this amazing report.

Boer told us that during the morning when he was in the veld at the reservoir when he witnessed a round "ball of fire" which changed in colours, hovering about 20 meters above the ground and which were slowly moving in the direction of the hill, which separates the farm from the Fort Fordyce bush.
On our arrival we did not witness any suspicious objects. We did the initial investigation and were skeptical. At that stage we were seven people. Four laborers, 2 policemen and Mr. Smit. Whilst we were standing looking at the hill which were 150 meters from us, I saw an object which emerged from the thick bush and vegetation at the foot of the hill and hovered just above the vegetation. It moved slowly to our right and again disappeared behind the thick bush. It did this movement a couple of times and I had the feeling that we were being watched. Mr. Smit had a .303 rifle with him and I decided to take a shot at it. The object were oval shaped and it was difficult to estimate the size of it. might have been just over a meter in diameter.
It had a shiny dark metal grey colour. I fired three shots at it, hitting with each shot.Mr. Smit also fired at the object. During firing at it, I saw a sharp bright light, flickering on the right of the craft, just above it. During the shots it also disappeared and emerged again from behind the trees. It was in broad daylight after 10am in the morning and the weather was clear. Mr. Smit and some of the workers went into the bush with a handkerchief, tied to a stick enabling us to direct him. We noticed that the object moved away as if it were reacting to our voices giving direction to the searchers. I heard further shots coming from close to where we last seen the object disappeared and Mr. Smit enquiring if we could see it. We kept observation but did not see its departure. According to Smit who claimed that they came close to it.
The object turned upright and became a greyish white in colour before it veered of making a whirring sound. It just disappeared. The following day we combed the area with other police officers and found nine evenly spread circular imprints about 10cm in diameter in the soil directly from where we saw it disappearing behind the bushes. The imprints were in hard clay soil easily 25 - 30 mm deep, as if the legs were spiraled in the ground. Samples were taken and send to the Council for Scientific & Industrial research Laboratories. Apparently it never reached them.
Also of interest is that a couple of days later in the evening the town engineer Dr. D. Verschoor, interrupted a Council meeting to show the councilors a UFO flashing in colours as it moved in the direction of the Fort Fordyce bush and Breaside
On Saturday 8 July during the night, Mr. Smit heard a loud explosion on his farm. On investigation the next morning he discovered that his reservoir, which were constructed of brick and cement were shattered and large concrete blocks were lying up to 20 meters away from the actual site. Another mysterious incident, never solved.
Thank you again to the witness for this amazing report.
