It was a quiet evening in 1996 when I found myself atop the roof of a house on a street in Nanaimo, BC, near Newcastle Island. Suddenly, an oval-shaped object appeared in the sky, and I was struck by an eerie clarity—it had glowing windows, as though I could peer inside. The shining lights gave the impression of a craft unlike anything I’d ever seen.
I turned around to tell my brother about it, eager to share the incredible sight. But as soon as I did, the object vanished without a trace. I convinced him that if he had been where I was, he would have seen it too. The experience stayed with me, a mysterious moment etched vividly in my memory—a strange, shining spectacle in the night sky that defied explanation.
This encounter left me questioning what I saw that night above Nanaimo, an event that continues to intrigue both me and UFO enthusiasts alike. The oval craft shimmering in the darkness was unlike ordinary aircraft, raising questions about what really visited that quiet corner of British Columbia.
