Dear Mr. Feindt,
I stumbled on to your under water UFO site on the internet, and thought that you might be interested in what I saw from the flight deck of the USS John C. Stennis during our 2004 RIMPAC1.
It was about 0300, and we were on the flight deck turning a FA-18C aircraft about 200 miles off the coast of China. I do not have the exact date. I was sitting off to the side of the island2 of the flight deck control center waiting to take hydraulic samples from the aircraft when I noticed that about 500 feet above the port side of the ship there was a very bright light inside a cloud.
I remember thinking that it was strange because the moon was visible in a completely different part of the sky, and there were no flight operations that I know of. I kept my eye on it off and on for about 10 minutes as I was also trying to pay attention to what was going on with the aircraft we were turning.
Then I saw a large ball of fire in the distance ahead of the ship. I can only guess as to how big it was, or how far away. No one else seemed to notice it. I continued to watch it thinking at first that an aircraft was on fire. But what got me was that it was moving very slowly, and dripping what looked to me like slag that was still burning.
The more I watched it, and focused my eyes in on it I noticed that it appeared as if it were growing, and rolling. It was basically a giant ball of swirling fire that was dripping what looked to me like molten metal across the sky. It seemed to get a lot closer as it traveled at a very gradual slope as if it were flying, and not falling, and very slowly it entered the ocean still rolling, and disappeared.
I looked around and no one else in my vicinity seemed to have seen anything. I am sure some one else besides me saw this because not only were there about 40 other ships around our carrier. There should have been people on watch in the control tower. I decided to stay quiet about it, and see if I heard about anything weird happening the next day or so. I never heard anything else about it.
NOTE OF IMPORTANCE – If anyone reading this story, was in the same navel group and has more information about this sighting, please contact me through the mailing address on the “Contact Me” page.
This started out as a one witness water case, but has now grown to three sightings. The non water cases follows the first and adds to the validity of the first case. Note: Westbank is a small town on the West bank of the vertical (N-S) and narrow Okanagan Lake and Kelowna is on the east bank of the same lake and slightly more to the north. -CF-
HBCC UFO Research Note: This is a very interesting report, and since reports have been coming from the entire area I was wondering if other people who may have been witness to the objects, and sound would you please file a report on the event to HBCC UFO Research.
Message: Ok I don't know what happened last night but it was the most frightening, incredible, and down right terrifying thing I have ever seen!!!!! Ok, so I was walking my dog along the Beach in Westbank, BC and Minding my own business at close to 11:00 PM on the 2nd of July (yesterday) and I seen this really really, really big bright thingy that looked something like a, well, I don't know, but it didn't fit the usual description of a UFO round thing, it looked somewhat like a Torpedo or something with wings, kind of like a fighter jet, screaming across the sky and downwards on fire.
It crashed into the lake and it was a big splash, almost like a large, large plane! The sound was incredibly loud and like a deep bass womp womp womp sound as it came down.
I ducked for cover thinking of a meteor or asteroid or something. I started to freak out and yell and as I was standing up, something came literally shooting back out of the water and I saw it start to hurtle towards a different looking object very high in the sky, which kind of looked like a cone of some sort.
I saw what looked like what you would see in a star wars movie for the bullets of the blaster kind of things coming from the object that just was in the lake and I heard a loud bang that knocked me off my feet and I looked up to see what the heck was going on and the cone shaped object was gone and the torpedo thing was just hovering.
Moving from side to side almost confused and then a loud sonic boom and it was gone. People came running out to me as I screamed loudly and people asked me what happened. What was I going to say, I just saw two UFOs? Not likely. What the heck could have this been?

Mission In Kelowna, British Columbia Another Witness To Strange Object & Loud Sound
Date: July 2, 2007
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.
HBCC UFO Research Note: By the sounds of things this is another eyewitness for the sighting that took place in and around the Kelowna, B.C. area on the same night. Object seen and a loud sound. Also if anyone has any information on this sighting, please do contact Brian Vike at HBCC UFO Research.
Message: Hey there. My name is (removed by HBCC UFO Research). I saw something that almost seems like a dream. Last night at about 11:00ish I was watching TV at home (I live in the Mission in Kelowna) and I just happened to catch a bright light through my window. I didn't think much of it because our neighbor’s car always shines the lights in our house because of the make up of the drive-way. I continued to watch TV and I heard an extremely Loud Bang that scared the hell out of me. I ran to the Window and looked around and I happened to catch a glimpse something in the sky hovering like...side to side...Then I heard another really loud boom and it was gone. I wonder if anyone else has reported this?
Non water but related report #3
Kelowna, B. C. Two UFOs - More Eyewitness To An Amazing Sky Event
Date: July 2, 2007
Time: Approx: 10:45 p.m.
Hey Brian, Ok, so like I said I would I've been watching the skies. Not last night but the night before, I saw something out of this world (no pun intended). It was about 10:45ish at night and I saw two objects in the sky just hovering. They weren't doing much, but something new with most sightings, they were different shaped objects. One was thin and longish, and the other was like a Triangular shape. They kept hovering there, so I got up quickly to run and grab my camera but the next thing I know I hear a smallest bang, almost like a gun, and the longish one starts to hurtle towards earth on fire making a deep sound, kind of like a nuclear generator bass kind of sound. I'm thinking to myself what the hell!
I watched the object and it disappeared at low altitude behind a smallish hill between my neighborhood and the lake. I look up and I see the triangular object make a small circle, come a little lower and then I see it start to hurdle towards the sky at a fast rate, and the longish one reappears from behind the hill no more fire, and ascending at break neck speed and when it gets a little higher, I saw it literally shoot something at the other object and then a very loud bang and the triangular one was no longer visible. The longish one started to what looked like search the sky. It was going north, then south, then east and west, Very quickly, almost like a hummingbird when it goes side to side. Then the object disappeared and I suppose its departure broke the sound barrier immediately because I heard that sonic boom when the barrier is broken. Anyways, like I said. This seems ludicrous, and after my many years of watching the skies, I finally saw what seemed like two E.T.s duking it out. The thing I find interesting about this sighting though, is that the objects were not glowing eerily like most UFO sightings refer to. It makes the sighting almost that much more "real" if you know what I mean.

Bob: Like Denny Blair said one time, he said to a Chinese admiral... He says: I own the water and I own the air above the water. So don’t talk threateningly to me. And Denny Blair at that time was a 4-star admiral who was PAC COM, or CINC COM, Pacific commander-in-chief. CINCPAC, I think he called it.
Anyhow, getting on with the story, let me finish this. He says:"The one thing that interests us the most that we cannot figure out, he says, are the underwater objects that are the size of aircraft carriers that are traveling over 200 miles an hour".
And he says: "That is our primary concern at the moment. He says: We don’t know who they are, what they are, and what they’re doing down there, but, he says, they’re traveling at enormous rates of speed under water and they’re the size of aircraft carriers.

Description: On December 18th I was aboard a ship (the FORTUNA ON Costa Lines) off of the coast of St. Thomas V.I. I awakened at 5:30 a.m. and decided to take my binoculars and look at the stars as it was still extremely dark out and we had a large window in our room. In the distance I saw a very strange sight that I thought was another ship in distress.
It was the shape of a ship. The lights on the ship were a weird color (one row was an orange- yellow and the row below was a neon blue green). Suddenly all the lights went off then on, then off. I thought how peculiar that all the lights on a ship would go off at the same time!
The ship was not moving, but we were. As we got closer the strangest thing happened. I couldn't believe my eyes and I kept yelling at my husband to get up to see what I was seeing. The ship suddenly started to change shape and color. It became a round object and began to lift off the water.
The color was a peachy gold metallic and rose about 100 feet off the water. Then suddenly I could only see a huge amount of smoke where the round object was.
Then 6 round balloon shaped objects emerged from the smoke and started to lift skyward. They were the same peachy gold metallic color of the previous object.
At this point our ship had moved so far past these objects that I strained to look out the window, but could no longer see anything. I have hesitated to share this experience with anyone as I feared they would think I was either dreaming or hallucinating. This was real. I assure you I was awake and am totally sane. I have a PH.D and am a respected person in my community. I grabbed a piece of paper (a diagram of the ship I was on) and sketched what I saw so I would not forget what I saw and will send it to you.
Comments: I [William Puckett] spoke at length with the witness. The witness has a PhD in gerontology. I found her to be sincere. She was very explicit in her description of what occurred. The sighting occurred through a window inside the cabin. The witness would have been looking south at the time of sighting. She stated that she could only see water and no land. It was dark at the beginning time of the sighting, but was becoming daylight towards the end of the sighting. The source of this sighting is unknown. I don't believe that the lights observed were a reflection off of the cabin window because the witness stated that the inside lights were not on. A slight possibility exists that the witness could have observed something on the British Islands to the south (see map), but this is unlikely because the distance is close to 100 miles and also she lost sight of the object to the right as the ship moved. (If the object was on the land mass, the object wouldn't have moved out of view.)
Note #1: This “smoke” which UFOs don’t usually excrete, might be STEAM, which is understandable in view of the hot field surrounding the UFO and it’s proximity to the water. In an e-mail dated February 17, 2008 the witness advised me that the smoke...:
“It was whitish or very light gray--definitely not black or dark.” This does approximate steam -CF-
