UFO Gives A Kelowna Man The Fright Of His Life

British Columbia

Harry had a large UFO incident which took place on August 31, 2008 at approximately 1:30 a.m. when he was on a week's holiday. All of a sudden the object jumped from a stationary position it appeared to rise up and drop down again. He said the object went from a stop, then made about a 20 foot jump into the air in a split second, it jumped again and this time it made an estimated jump of approximately 50 to 60 feet and then it kept jumping at greater distances.

[Goonch]

"He figured the UFO was now moving around 500 feet at a time. The object made numerous jumps and Harry wasn't sure if he was able to hear any sound or not. He thought the UFO gave off a swooshing sound, but again he couldn't be completely sure of this. This thing traveled along at an incredible speed. It made a final jump which had it heading straight towards Harry's truck. Pretty much freaking out at this point, Harry said the UFO, with one of the last jumps, landed maybe 100 feet behind the trailer he was pulling. This would have had the UFO hitting the asphalt/road behind him. After this he wasn't able to see the UFO anymore. He said he hit the gas pedal and was out of there. He told me that he had no plans of stopping to check this out and wanted to get out of there as fast as possible....."

Bush’s fault! /sarc

Rove, you magnificent bastard!

Sounds like the fuel line is clogged. They usually take off smoother than that.

Kelowna is also the home of the “Ogopogo”, a Loch Ness-like monster that occupies Okanagan Laka, Kalamalka Lake and Wood Lake.

Standard shift alien craft with an inexperienced pilot at the helm.

better stick with premium unleaded

"Kelowna is also the home of the “Ogopogo”, a Loch Ness-like monster that occupies Okanagan Laka, Kalamalka Lake and Wood Lake."

[laotzu]

I should point out that this entire region of British Columbia is a hot, dry area.

Maybe because I'm from south Texas, but; I don't think so.

[itsthejourney]

Well, that’s the story he told his wife for getting home so late.

[cherry]

LOL......beautiful....

[cherry]

its a nice town .....warm up there and lots of orchards nearby and what a wonderful lake.....wineries too...........

if all goes bad down here.....

[cherry]

there is a banana belt up that way in Canada......warm valleys.....seems to be a lot of Hispanic influence in some areas....fresh peaches etc available.....it was surprising to me when I first went there too.....

[Goonch]

"I should point out that this entire region of British Columbia is a hot, dry area."

Some cryptozoologists believe the Basilosaurus to be the leading candidate for the lake monster reported in Lake Okanagen in British Columbia, affectionately known as Ogopogo. It is also believed to be the most likely candidate as well for the Cadborosaurus reported off the coast of British Columbia, known as Caddy.

Certainly looks hot & dry :-)

I keep telling ya, EASE the temporal clutch out while
at the same time giving it a little more neutron flux...

[DieHard the Hunter]

I spent every summer of my life in and around Kelowna/Vernon between ages 0 and 19. It was lovely back then — probably built up considerably since I saw it last.

[DieHard the Hunter]

That’s him!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Kelowna is also the home of the “Ogopogo”, a Loch Ness-like monster.....

So you are saying, Ogopogo can’t drive his spaceship?

[Goonch]

"there is a banana belt up that way in Canada"

West Coasters like to brag that they live in the “banana belt” of Canada, but the lyrics of the popular 1920s song, Yes, We Have No Bananas, hint at the true story of bananas in B.C. Yes, we can grow bananas on the coast. No, we don’t get edible fruit.

[DieHard the Hunter]

> Maybe because I’m from south Texas, but; I don’t think so.

Actually, it is. Canada’s only desert is not far from Kelowna, in a place called Osoyoos.

There are rattle snakes all thru the hills in and around Kelowna/Vernon, and as you would know coming from Texas, rattlers like it hot and dry, and come out to play when it is muggy.

That said, South Texas would be a bit warmer.

[DieHard the Hunter]

> So you are saying, Ogopogo can’t drive his spaceship?

The same people who see Ogopogo invariably see UFOs.

UFO PING LIST PING . . .

Please let Las Vegas Dave and I know if you want on or off the burgeoning UFO ping list.

[Quix]

Thanks.

Interesting.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Wow... it certainly has built up! That bridge is a floating bridge, and it crosses Okanagan Lake (largest lake in British Columbia). The part in the foreground just past the bridge has always been the “main drag” thru Kelowna, and that was always developed. But it looks like Kelowna has been developed pretty much all the way thru to Winfield...

When I was a kid, much of this was orchard and pasture. Looks like most of that is gone now.

Why do UFO’s have flashing lights? Is that some kind of mandatory interstellar requirement when flying through a planet’s atmosphere?

[Goonch]

"Why do UFO’s have flashing lights?"

So they dont't crash into each other

[bannie]

Some...er..places just seem to be magnets for all of the fun stuff.

(wink!wink!)

[Goonch]

[blackdog]

I’ve alway’s wondered how UFO’s can travel entire galaxies, slip thru at light speed, dodge black holes, space debris, arrive thru our outer atmosphere without roasting alive, and then somehow need to turn on bright lights to see where they are going once they get to the last few hundred feet?

[Goonch]

"dodge black holes, space debris, arrive thru our outer atmosphere without roasting alive, and then somehow need to turn on bright lights to see where they are going once they get to the last few hundred feet?"

My Ex used to drive home that way

[GunsAndBibles]

I used to be famous for having unexplainable experiences, especially around 1:30 in the morning on Friday nights.

[Goonch]

Yup. Been there done that

[mikrofon]

Maybe Jonas Quinn was just trying to get home...

Crypto connection..

[ferri]

ah, but it is true. Southern BC has cactus, scorpions and rattlesnakes. :)

[Artemis Webb]

Maybe it was an Ogopogo turd?

[Artemis Webb]

that flies.

[Goonch]

"that flies."

[Hyzenthlay]

And, apparently, they frequently have difficulty landing properly... are we supposed to believe hyper-advanced spacecraft designed crash that often?

Crowded sky?

Egypt may not be the first place you’d look for whales, but once upon a time the Wadi Hitan desert was underwater and teeming with the sea giants.

In April geologist Philip D. Gingerich announced his team had excavated the first known nearly complete skeleton of a Basilosaurus isis (pictured). The 50-foot-long (18-meter-long), 40-million-year-old fossil was shipped to Michigan, where experts are preserving it. Later they will return the fossil to Egypt along with a complete cast of the skeleton...

[Goonch]

"Egypt may not be the first place you’d look for whales"

Not British Columbia, huh?

nice image, thanks...wonder where all the water went.
