Have been reading a little about High Strangeness events around the home area that had not registered before and thought to share here. The area in question is approximately a 300 km radius dipping down into Idaho and North to Revelstoke, East to Alberta and West to Christina Lake. The website listed below has many examples of Sasquatch (> 20 since 1922) and a great many UFO sightings in the area over a few hundred years. Was particularly interested in some of the older cases and do not recall their being mentions in books such as Keel’s; although he might have referred to the general area in the north. The examples are generally sourced, but who knows, some of them at least seem like valid observations with multiple witnesses.

Thing that comes to mind is that if you were to take this 300 km radius and move it around the world and examine reports and data throughout history from any given radius and then chart these things, think it would be of such a large accounting in totality that it is amazing these high strangeness events are essentially ignored instead of being vigorously studied. Seems the few who tried became harassed at many levels and generally humans are left not knowing what to think; so they don't, they are told or vectored in other directions as is well documented.

From various date ranges and locations:

Inverted Tornado - Cranbrook New Year's Eve 1999
"I dont know what it could have been, it rocketed skyward at an extremely high rate of speed and looked like an up-side down tornado risI was involved in a Moose inventory study and we were flying out to the Wigwam River via helicopter. We were flying toward the Galton range and the pilot pointed out an upside down tornado rising through cloud somewhere in the mountain range. It appeared to be rising at a very high rate of speed and all that could be seen was a dark spec at the vortex tip. The pilot refered to local weather reports and there was no severe weather indicated. One of the biologists was very affraid to look at the disturbance in the air. At first we thought it must be a missle launch from somewhere and that a world war had began, afterall it was new years eve of 99/00. I dont know what it could have been, it rocketed skyward at an extremely high rate of speed and looked like an up-side down tornado rising through the cloud."

Seven Lights - Castlegar 1970
"I was 12 years old and I was at the old Castlegar arena about 10:00 p.m. waiting for my brother to finish a hockey practice. I went outside the arena with my mother and a friend of hers. We walked to a coffee shop about 1/2 mile away. While on the way back, we all noticed a very bright light in the sky. It was a cool clear night in mid-March. The object was extremely bright. It sort of was going straight and slow for about 20 seconds, then made a very sudden turn to the right. It suddenly stopped after a few more seconds. It was quite high up it seemed - 2-3 miles? At that point, several smaller lights or objects - I counted at least seven, emerged from the light and were flying around the still stationary larger object. The objects eventually made their way across the sky away from view. Total time - about 2-3 minutes. We were all quite puzzled by the event. On a side note - I remember we were talking with my mom's friend and her husband a few weeks later when they were over for dinner. He told us when he was with the US military in the early 1970's, he was a radar operator responsible for an area in the US mid-west. He used to track objects on the screen flying at extreme speeds - but he was also warned to ignore them and to keep his mouth shut. He was convinced from our descriptions, that what we saw was definitely not a normal aircraft."

Lights - Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, 1972
a post from UFO Sightings on AOL Answers :

"I and my late husband were star gazing one evening while in northern Idaho. Straight overhead there appeared what seemed to be three stars, headed south. Suddenly they stopped dead still. In the next five seconds or so each of them took off at an amazing rate of speed, and in three separate directions. We were stunned, to say the least, but as we lay there, and after several more minutes passed, all three 'stars' reappeared, and again, directly overhead, stopped. Another couple of minutes later all objects headed back north in the same formation [triangular] that they had originally appeared. It was as though we had been given our own private view of what we've come to believe was a very real sighting of UFO's. "

Lights - Whiteswan Lake 2002
from UFOINFO:

"We were lying in our dingy looking at different masses of stars in the clear night sky. The big dipper was to our visual left as we where looking at what appeared to be a cluster of 6 fairly lined up even stars. Like the 6 on dice,( except the bottom two out of line a bit) as bright as the brightest stars, that's what we thought they where.

Seconds after my husband pointed out the cluster, they started to move enough that we looked at each other, back at them, and in amazement confirmed to each other that we saw them move. Then for the next (time?) couple/few minutes they performed. As we where on the water, excited about seeing the abundance of stars, I noted what we where seeing for my own recollection of what I knew was a memorable moment...So Amazing, I'm shaking my head as I write this, they did maneuvers, and left in the far depths of the sky, no sounds, no blinking or flashing lights, they looked just like stars all the while this was happening.

Two of them left up and far above us, so far up they turned into pinpoints in the clear deep sky and disappeared, after we watched them jog position, speed up, go ahead, slow down, the other speed up, catch up, ,repeating this until they where out of sight, the other two, swooped around, out to the side, in circular motions, returning to their position of where we first thought they where stars.

One would swoop out and around then back to position, the other would do the same. The maneuvers where similar, but not the same. Each time they returned to the position we first saw them. When we watched the other 2 as they jogged up, deeper into the sky, coming high above us, turn to distant pinpoints and disappear, we looked back to see the 2 that where doing the circular motions and they where gone, only 2 stars where there. It was over, we sat in our dingy and talked about what we had just experienced and still do today."

Lights - Windermere/Canal Flats 2002
From UFOBC:

"1-May-2002, Windermere to Canal Flats: (1:00 am) (NUFORC)

"My sister and I were travelling from Vancouver to Kimberly. It was about 1am when we reached Windermere. A few miles south from there we saw a bright strobe light above some trees. We thought it was a beacon of some kind, but we noticed that it took a long time to reach it and finally pass it. It was almost in the trees and the road travelled in a way that we could not see it when we passed it. A few moments later we saw another bright, white strobe light just above the trees quite a bit further down the road. At one point I could see it flashing just above a house. We were getting closer now and we finally realized it was moving. There were no marker lights, no spotlight and we were in a bit of a thunder and lightning storm so I really do not think it was any kind of legitimate aircraft. This second light stayed with us for a minute or so travelling at our speed just above the trees about 50 feet to our left. It stopped "following" us just before the next small town. When we reached Fairmont, we stopped and I could still see it flashing in the distance. We continued on, quite scared now. We crossed a small bridge and I saw another one on my right but it was stationary. Then as we travelled alongside Columbia Lake we saw another one. This one was on the other side of the lake, but it stayed with us for a few minutes. When we reached Canal Flats, it stopped, and when we looked back there were two hovering over the town. We were frightened and continued on our way."

"This road was quite deserted, but there were probably thirty other vehicles that must have seen something. We sure won't be the same."

Video: Cylindrical UFO - Keefer Lake 2005
We are aware that this is barely the Kootenays...but its interesting anyway: an excerpt from an interview at UFOINFO:

"Q. - What color was the main body of the objects ? Were you able to observe any lights on the objects at all, if so what color were they and if there were, did they flash or blink off and on ?

A. - Mainly white or very shiny metallic, when viewed frame by frame you can see that the big object is actually two white tank like objects and you can see blue sky between the objects as it seems to pulse. There are two black spots that appear to alternate back and forth between the two objects. When the black spots appear above and below the object, the two objects seem to grow in size. During the time that the spots are on the individual tanks and the other one appears to shrink in size. You can see the black dots as they move back and forth.

Q. - Did the object at anytime move erratically or change direction, zig zag through the sky ? Basically did they move strangely ?

A. - They moved steadily and deliberately. There was no up and down movement. Each one was at a slightly different altitude and approach before veering to the west. The strange part was the silence of their passing and no contrails ."

Strange Aerial Body - Rossland 1896
This has been considered to be a part of American Airship wave:

A newspaper report, dated 12 August 1896 recalls what is known. "It told of a strange aerial body that approached the town, paused momentarily above a nearby mountain peak, made seven wide circles in the sky, and then sped away on a straight course. The thing was described as a 'luminous ball of fire that glowed amidst a halo of variegated colours.'. The object took a quarter of an hour to complete its maneuvers and was watched by many citizens in Rossland"

Pictograph - Christina Lake 1800s




The image is reddish in colour, and it seems to depict a flying object. The area it covers measures 28.3 inches horizontally and 31.8 inches vertically. Calcite has almost obscured two outer figures which stand below the principal image.

John Magor:
"Our relief at finding the spot at all was replaced by a feeling that some strong spiritual quality lingered here. We found ourselves comparing the grotto to a recess in an ancient church containing a sacred panel...This particular artist, perhaps superior to others, showed great skill in conveying the idea of something extraordinary in the air. Because of its comparative size, it is obviously not a bird and just as obviously because of its shape (perhaps that is why he retained the winged look) it is not the sun. But the touch of real brilliance is in the use of those four human figures. Not only do they lend size and height to the object but, by their suggestion of a worshipful attitude, create the impression that this was an event of rare spiritual importance. We can assume the people they represent thought a god had come to visit, just as in ancient scriptures - if we care to make the interpretation - describe visits elsewhere by gods in their chariots."

Magor studied the vivid and noble image for some time and came to the conclusion that it was painted by the ancestors of the Interior Salish some three hundred years ago. The image was certainly painted before 1860 when the natives ceased to create rock art of any sort: "We are almost certainly looking at pictographs in the 300-year bracket or beyond," he wrote. "Not only has the formula gone but so has the practice."

Because of its age the Flying Object pictograph does not depict a primitive airplane. Because of its schematic nature it may have symbolic value. But it is also possible that the artist sought to recall an event of signal importance, the landing of a strange aerial craft. "If, however, we give him credit for good reporting of an amazing event in which a flying object appears, there is immediate plausible meaning to the lines emanating from the object and the attitude of its witnesses. Understandable, too, is the selection of a separate site to describe such an extraordinary incident."

White Light - Windermere Valley c.1919
from UFO BC:

"As a little girl of nine, which in her words was "a long time ago," she had her first hint that this was a land of strange happenings. She was with her mother, an Indian woman of strong religious leaning, in a buggy drawn by a pair of horses plodding carefully through the night along a narrow dirt road. On the other side of the river was their house invisible in the darkness.

Suddenly the whole valley was swathed in a soft white light. They could see their house as clearly as in daytime, as well as the river, their neighbors' houses and the hills beyond. Excitedly the girl tugged her mother's arm, begging her to look. But her mother's hands were clasped in prayer and her eyes were closed. Surely, to her, this was a visitation.

In later years, Mrs. De Hart told us, she heard many Indian stories (she and her husband live close to an Indian reserve) of strange lights and sights in the valley. One that particularly impressed her was the tale of a great "wagon" appearing from the sky. It had large "wheels" and moved so smoothly it seemed to be floating on water. Mrs. De Hart herself saw another eerie occurrence when a hill about half a mile from her place suddenly lit up one night as if bathed in a floodlight. The illumination was so strong she and all the others there could see in detail the small sharp peak of the hill. In those same years her sister and brother-in-law had the bewildering experience one night of seeing their house glowing in a weird light as they climbed uphill toward it. In each case the lights went out as abruptly and inexplicably as they had appeared."

Enormous White Light - Fernie/Sparwood 1970
"My friends (RN, social worker, public health nurse and an XRay technician)took me on my first outing after the birth of my son (July 22/70) to a drive-in movie theatre between Fernie and Sparwood, B.C. We had finished seeing the movie and I was about to drive away when I saw an enormous, bright white round light coming around the side of a nearby mountain (small mountain, but bigger than hill). I pointed it out to the others and we discussed whether it was a logging truck (no roads there, besides it was to the side of the mountain) or the moon (moon was in a different position). Scared the living daylights out of us and I sped the car over to the, by now, only remaining vehicle - a family in a station wagon with kids. I yelled at them to look and they took off like bats out of hell. I was quickly on their heels.What is intriguing about this is that we all lived in Fernie and gossip was a way of life in a small town. We never discussed this after. About 13 - 15 yrs. later, I remembered it and mentioned it to one of the women who was there and she seemed to think it was a logging truck.I know what I saw and there was no logging truck that could hang off the side of a mountain and certainly no truck could've produced lights that size. (There was only one light. On the form above, I ticked off 1 craft buy we never actually saw a craft - only this enormous white ball.) Whatever it was, was moving very slowly around the mountain. It was awesome and terrifying at the same time.There were a lot of UFO sightings in Fernie, witnessed by many credible people, including RCMP officers. When Cranbrook airport was called after these events, one would be told that nothing had appeared on the radar screens.Since that event, I have experienced many paranormal experiences. I don't know whether there is any connection or not, but thought I should mention it. It's only now that I finally have a computer, that I'm able to find someone to report this to."

Flying Saucer - Trail-Nelson Highway 1947
From UFOBC

"A trio of Rossland fishermen, bound for main Kootenay Lake, arrived here after midnight Friday morning to report excitedly that they had sighted a fast-moving oval about 15-feet in diameter flashing across the sky just as they were driving up Taghum hill on the Trail-Nelson highway.
"It didn't look very high to us," said Dick McLean of the party. It seemed to give off a light as though reflecting from the moon, although the sky was cloudy."

Flying Saucers - Castlegar 1940s
From UfoBC

"Trail, BC - - The disc-like "flying saucers" have been spotted speeding across the night skies over Castlegar, BC, 20 miles North of here on the Kootenay River.

An anonymous caller telephoned the Trail Times today to report sighting the mystery objects last night, but he gave no details."

Stationary Beam of Light, UFO's - Kootenays 2003

A very interesting report of a stationary beam of light and ufos spotted throughout the interior of British Columbia. The full article can be read at UFOINFO.

some excerpts:

"The story begins with a family who was camping at St. Marys Lake, which is located approximately 12 miles east of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. Around 12:45 a.m. the husband and wife decided to do some star gazing as the children were asleep and the night was warm and the sky clear and full of stars. As the couple stood looking into the night sky they observed a very bright, white light heading in a southeasterly direction. The moon sized light was witnessed flying low over top Bootleg Mountain and across the lake and at times it's speed did vary. As it slowed, then picking up speed once again the witnesses watched the light zig zag slightly and at times it seemed to wobble until it was out of sight.

When they arrived back home from their camping trip they contacted the Kimberley RCMP detachment...to enquire if others had reported seeing the object...[but]...the detachment received no calls over this matter. The Cranbrook Airport was also contacted and asked if there were any aircraft in the area of the sighting .... but none were reported in the vicinity the object was observed...A couple of area residents did telephone the folks who watched the event telling them what they also saw that night, and another did make a report to the local newspaper."

"Two things happened in the early morning hours that Sunday, a large moon sized object was seen by many area residents, and what followed left many folks in communities such as Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna, Kimberley, Cranbrook and as far as Jaffray, British Columbia scratching their heads wondering what it was they saw. A beam, or ray of white light was observed from Kamloops as far southeast as Jaffray, British Columbia. People who watched the strange and puzzling event said the white light looked as bright as a florescent tube and was arced from horizon to horizon as if one was viewing a rainbow. The beam of light sat almost stationary in this position for approximately an hour before dissipating. Almost everyone who witnessed the beam of white light said they had never seen anything like this before. All said they have watched the northern lights many times, but they commented this was certainly not the northern lights."

Some eyewitness accounts of the UFO:

"A gentleman from Cranbrook, B.C....reported that he and his family were sitting outside and were discussing how bad the forest fires are throughout the southern interior when one of the family members spotted what they thought was a airplane with it's landing lights on and heading in their direction. As the bright white light drew closer to them, the size was growing rapidly and so was the brightness of the light. Before they knew it, the light/object was upon them. The family was so frightened due to the immense size of the light/object being almost at the edge of their property that the children ran into the house screaming. The mother followed closely behind. The father followed his wife and kids into the home, but stopped to take one last glance at whatever it was, and watched it make a 90 degree turn to the south...they heard not a sound coming from it."

"Another report came from a lady who was with a group of people on their holiday at their cabin on one of the local Kimberley, B.C. lakes...they were sitting outside on the deck when one of the guests pointed towards the northwest. Low over one of the mountains came a huge, extremely bright white light traveling slowly in a zig zag pattern heading to the southeast. As it got closer to the resort area, many people became uncomfortable due to how strange the object/light was acting. As it passed straight overhead not a sound was heard. Some of the folks who were there said it was like looking at a full moon on a clear night. It was that big."


"Two men in a pick-up truck traveling north along the highway just south of Wycliffe spotted the large bright object flying south. As they watched the large light/object close in on their location they pulled the truck over to the side of the highway, and jumped out of the vehicle to get a better look. Due to it being so low, so bright, and passing directly over top of them the light from the object lit up the highway and surrounding area. Both men stood frozen in their tracks and speechless. Both fellows said it moved quickly in a straight line and made no unusual maneuvers. Again no sound was heard which is remarkable due to how close it was to these men, and all the other witnesses."

Some eyewitness accounts of the light beam:"One lady said what she saw was very strange, it didn't behave like the northern lights as she noted that the lights danced across the sky, or looked like a curtain of shimmering light. She wondered if the long dry hot weather may have something to do with what she was seeing. But her thoughts changed quickly as she watched the beam of light come from the northwest horizon and impaled itself on one of the local hills and that is where it ended, according to this witness."

"Four Kimberley residents stood outside watching the beam of light, they reported standing under a street lamp and even with brightness from the street light they could clearly see the beam of light sitting in the dark sky."

from Kelowna:

"At the peak of the night's darkness, a stable and continuous band of light was present overhead from horizon to horizon in the East/West direction. I estimate the apparent width of the band of light to be about 10 degrees at the azimuth. No indication of colour was observed in this band, nor did I observe any detail or shadowing effects. This band of light was, however, unusual in it's stability of form and linearity of line."

According to UFOINO there were 157 witnesses of these events, 126 saw the light beam and 31 saw the UFO.

Aerial Battle? Castlegar 2006
From UFOBC:

Unconfirmed

One incident took place approximately 42 kilometers outside of Castlegar where they watched what looked like a battle happening above them in the clear night sky. Dark shadows, or craft of something appeared to be doing battle, or something very unusual. One object looked like it may have either hit one of the mountains in the area or at least just above the mountain as the entire valley, mountain, etc lit up like it was daytime. One of the witnesses to this did call the RCMP in Castlegar

UFO shoots lightning - Kootenay Lake 2008

Three witnesses were driving northbound on 3A traveling at about 90 kilometers heading to Kootenay Bay when they saw what looked like a dark colored disc/saucer shaped object with approx: 25 - 30 solid red lights running around it. (when they first saw it, it was sitting in a horizontal position) The object was just a head of them at about a 1/4 miles distance away. The craft seemed to tilt toward the travelers and they noticed some sort of electrical discharge coming from the lower end of the craft. They described the discharge as lighting bolts spreading out across the sky. (short distance from the object) It slowly moved toward the east and upward, still in a tilted position, still giving off this strange discharge until they were only able to see what they believed to be the flashing of the discharge due to the objects distance away from them.

Bouncing Balls of Light - Radium 1963

"Suddenly we both noticed a brilliant light in the air which we thought must be just about over the hot springs pool," Mrs. Beamish said. "It was so intensely bright it was hard to look at it. But we shaded our eyes to look, we were so excited. It was far more brilliant than the sun."

As the two continued slowly ahead the light seemed to take on still more brilliance and at this point appeared to release another object from its far side.

"This one had a whitish opaque appearance, something like a cloud, but its outline was very sharp and it was completely round," Mrs. B_____ said. "It looked simply like a huge ball."

While the brilliant parent body held its position, the second object started to move toward the mountain peaks a mile or so in the background. These peaks form the eastern ridge of the Trench and, to a person looking from a good vantage point at Radium, disappear to the south almost at the international border.

As soon as the ball-shaped body reached the summit it started an amazing performance as if the gods were having a gigantic game on their Olympian heights.

"It looked to us as if this enormous ball began bouncing from one peak to another -- bouncing, bouncing," Mrs. B_____ said, with a movement of her hand. "It seemed to be touching the very tips of the mountains and it went bouncing along so gracefully until it disappeared far to the south. If I had been alone I might have been skeptical and thought it was an illusion. But my friend was excited, too. We discussed it after and agreed we had both seen exactly the same thing. It was a very thrilling experience."

UFO Buzzes Car, Truck - Radium 1969

Joanne H_______, then 16, of Radium, on her way to visit friends had an encounter with a UFO so frightening that she has never since driven by herself at night.

"It came flying right toward the windshield until it was just two or three feet away, then it shot up and disappeared for a second," she recalled. "The next thing I know it came shooting at me from the driver's side before it again went over the car, just missing the window."

Completely shaken, Joanne started to speed up only to have the object take up pursuit.

"It had a golden light coming from it," she said, "and I knew it was following me because the light was shining in the rearview mirror. It lit up the whole inside of the car." I was doing about 70 miles an hour by this time and still it came after me."

After a mile or two the object gave up the chase when they came to a point where a few people were walking beside the road. When she later met her friends they immediately saw something was wrong and soon learned what had happened....

"When it first came toward me, it looked round in front with a hump on top. But when it shot up over the car it looked more triangular. It had two wings that tapered off and right behind in the middle was a narrow tail about six inches long. The wings spread right across the windshield so I guess the whole thing was three or four feet wide altogether. It was very solid-looking, like metal, with the light coming out from the center of it."

Among the friends who saw Joanne after the incident was Kern C______ of Windermere, foreman of a large Christmas-tree cutting operation. He still remembers how pale and upset she looked but had no way of guessing that just a few nights later he would have a UFO shock himself...The incident occurred on a comparatively new mountain section of the Trans-Canada Highway called Roger's Pass. Though not part of the Trench, it is a split-second from it as the UFO flies. Note in the Letters section a silvery disc was sighted the following winter on a snowfield in the same area.

Accompanied by a young woman from Windermere, Trudy Re______, Kern was homeward bound in his truck when he noticed an unusual cloudy form against the sky ahead.

"It was like a cloud with a spotlight shining into it," he explained. "It looked very strange up there, not just because of the light but because it was a bright starry night and there wasn't another cloud in the sky."

Curious, he stopped the truck and the pair climbed out to have a better look. It was an invitation to action.

"As soon as we got out, that thing, whatever it was, started to come down right towards us," Kern said. "I told my friend to get in the truck and we both jumped back in."...

In approximately the same period Jim S_______, who is in charge of large Christmas-tree operations at Radium Hot Springs, noticed a strange flying object cross the valley from east to west. He was in his garden at the time, about 8 p.m., and had a clear view of the whole incident...."At the bottom it was darkish and looked round, and on top was this very bright light. It looked like a big star at first but as it came closer I could see it had a definite shape. It made no noise. My son Tommy was with me and he saw it, too."

USO - Invermere Lake, Windermere 1999

Three of us were looking out into the water, it was a quiet peaceful afternoon, when we all noticed a bright white light emerging from the water. The object was breaking the water surface from the lake, yet wasn't leaving any ripples in the water! - like a piece of wood would or a log could...

It showed itself as a sequence of digitized light....a bright white colouring. It appeared and disappeared, breaking the water surface, three times after finally disappearing into the lake. This lasted for approximately 5 minutes. We had binoculars so we were able to see the light up close and to our amazement it confirmed what we saw.

Green Luminescence - Invermere, 1969

"It was a green luminescence -- a pool of controlled light. It was the sort of glow you see over a lighted swimming pool at night. If it had been a camper's light or something like that, I'm sure I would have recognized it. This light was strange."

It was so strange, in fact, the witness felt that somehow the light was not limited to the area she was observing. She had the impression that momentarily her car was lit up, as if a piece had broken off to trace her for a second or two.

The witness found this a difficult point to explain and we do not pretend to have grasped it. But, without putting words in her mouth, we suggest a bush or forest fire might offer comparison. Often these are spread by an unseen agency when a section ignites that is far beyond the reach of any spark. Obviously no fire was involved in this particular case but evidently the effect of the light, like heat from a fire, spread invisibly from its central source.

The light was strange in another way – it turned her car radio off.
 
Thing that comes to mind is that if you were to take this 300 km radius and move it around the world and examine reports and data throughout history from any given radius and then chart these things, think it would be of such a large accounting in totality that it is amazing these high strangeness events are essentially ignored instead of being vigorously studied. Seems the few who tried became harassed at many levels and generally humans are left not knowing what to think; so they don't, they are told or vectored in other directions as is well documented.

Thanks for sharing voyageur, I agree it really is amazing how many of these instances go unreported. In Keel's books and others, it makes you realize that no place on Earth is immune to this high strangness. It also gives a unique perception to read of these events happening in places you are familiar with, closer to where you live. It's interesting with these cases listed, when it gives the reactions of the experiencers it really seems like they are startled awake to the reality of the situation. It seems most of them do not forget the strangness easily either, which says something for our fellow hypnotized population.

A lot of the cases appeared like the UFO's were up to their normal games of deception. They repeatedly target people who are alone too it seems.

Joanne H_______, then 16, of Radium, on her way to visit friends had an encounter with a UFO so frightening that she has never since driven by herself at night.

I noticed too that the people in these cases tend to be more concerned or frightened generally, rather than in awe or excited about the experience.
