Ice Jam On The Bulkley River Smithers British Columbia (Pictures)

Above Photo: Ice jam raise's the water in the Bulkley River at Smithers, British Columbia.

An ice jam has threaten to flood homes that are in low lying areas next to the Bulkley river in Smithers, British Columbia in the early part of January 2016. People were placed on high alert as the ice and water backed up onto peoples property.

As chunks of ice started building up on the river, this caused the water to back up, flooding some basements and property.

There were approximately 16 or so homeowners that were placed on evacuation notice if the river continued to rise. There was some flooding on some the roads.

In Spring runoff, many of these low lying areas do flood, and flooding has been seen in years past from ice jams on the Bulkley.

Also residents are being advised to stay away from the river as it is extremely dangerous.

Steelhead And Winter Ice Fishing In And Around Houston British Columbia (12 Pictures)

Above Photo: Fulton river which flows into Babine Lake, British Columbia's longest natural lake at Granisle, B.C.. Picture was taken on New Year's Day, January 1, 2016.

Houston, British Columbia is known around the world for a good number of things, such as Canada’s largest fly fishing rod and one of two grizzly bears that were killing cattle around Hungry Hill. 

Also we have the “beautiful” Steelhead Park which runs along Highway 16 through Houston. 

In the park there is the Steelhead fountain where you can sit peacefully enjoying the day.

Another popular attraction is the Wolf Totem Pole which is in the park.

In summer there are numerous beds of blooming flowers of different types and well manicured grass. The park is truly Houston’s well known gem.

Winter Scene - The Equity Silver Mine Road Houston British Columbia (75 - Pictures/Slideshow)

 Above Photo: At the top of the rock bluff the tree tops are pure white from the snow and frost and in summertime you can see the mountain goats laying down sun baking all seen from the Equity Silver Mine Road Houston, British Columbia.

Once again we headed off on a new adventure, this time closer to home. On December 14, 2015 we decided, since it was a beautiful day to take a drive out on the old Equity Silver Mine Road. The road had been ploughed recently so it was like a super highway. The sky was deep blue and the snow crystals glistened in the sunlight.

The Equity mine road has been one of my favorite places to visit which is just outside of town. Years back in the summer we would take all the little kids to a spot where they could catch some trout, and it was right at the side of the road. They would cast out their fishing line with a float attached and wait for the float to bob up and down. Of course there was always a juicy worm on the hook.

Winter Scene - Travel To Beautiful Houston British Columbia (11 - Pictures)

Above Photo: The Bulkley River filmed from the Bulkley Valley bridge.

Well another dawn arrived in Houston, B.C. with yet another heavy snowfall on the ground. Everything, I mean everything is white. So on December 13, 2015 I headed out harmed with camera, water and pop to one of my favorite places around Houston.

Knockholt for me holds a lot of good memories, my kids when younger would swim in the Bulkley River at Knockholt. Then my daughters kids did the same. They could build sandcastles with moat, ride inner tubes down the river or just splash around having a good old time. 

The scenery there never lets you down, and the beauty about this location is that you can drive right to it. From Houston heading east the distance is only a 8.6km drive along Highway 16 and make a right hand turn onto McKilligan Road, a few hundred yards down the road and you can park your vehicle and within a few steps you are sitting by the river.

Winter On The Morice River Houston British Columbia (10 - Pictures)

Above Photo: Seen from the Walcott Road outside Houston, British Columbia.

Once again we woke up to a blanket of snow on Saturday December 12, 2015. It was just gorgeous out with the new snow and we decided to take a drive out on the Morice River road outside of Houston, British Columbia.

The trees were covered in white, it was as if someone dropped blobs of white paint onto the branches of the trees. Although the sky was dark and overcast, the brilliance from the snow made for a wonderful picture.

Telkwa is a wonderful small village which can be found in British Columbia. If you are planning a trip through, or to visit you would follow Highway 16 west from Prince George, B.C. for approximately 350 kilometres. Telkwa and area are rich in history and you can venture through Telkwa’s Museum for a look back in time. Also Telkwa boasts about it’s Tyhee Lake Provincial Park, and they have a right too, it is beautiful. 

Camping is available in the park and the campsites are secluded, this way you can lay back and take it easy and there is large parking lot for day visitors. Also on site are horseshoe pits and a volleyball net in case you want to get your competitive side on.

Winter Scene - Mountains And Dark Clouds Over Smithers British Columbia (3 – Pictures)

Above Photo: Glacier and Mountains in Smithers, British Columbia.

My wife and I were in Smithers, British Columbia on December 10, 2015 as I had to pick up some new glasses. 

One of the first things I wanted to do was too take some pictures of the 1,012 pound "Phantom Grizzly Bear" which was shot on Hungry Hill by Conservation Officers and is on display at the Smithers Airport Smithers, British Columbia.  

So we drove to the airport, I parked the car and ran inside of the airport and took a few pictures. I ran back out, jumped in the car and as we were leaving the airport’s parking lot, I noticed how nice the mountains looked with dark clouds hanging over them. 

I decided to pull the car over, I got out and took a few shots of the mountains.

About 20 Round Ball Like Lights Over Tuskawilla/Winter Springs Florida

Date:  February 2, 2013
Time:  Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 6
Number of Objects: Approximately 20.
Shape of Objects: Round ball like.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: While entertaining last night I noticed strange lights in the sky. At first there were 2, then more.

They seemed to be rising and coming in our direction then would suddenly disappear. This was over a period of approximately 3-4 minutes. All of us are over 50 and in sound mind.

None of us had ever seen anything like this before.

Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.

Red/Dark Orange Object With Beam Of Light Inside And Seen Over Winter Park Florida

Date:  February 7, 2013
Time:  Approx: 7:00 p.m.

Hello, on 2/7 at about 7:00 p.m. as I was walking up my driveway after picking up the mail, I glanced up and saw a single reddish/dark orange light over my head.

I’ve lived in the same house 13 years, near Orlando Int’l airport, and have seen thousands of planes, helicopters and sea planes.  And blimps.

It was overcast and I didn’t actually see what it was, just the light. The first thing I deliberately did was listen for noise, this thing was absolutely noiseless. I watched this single light fly due north until it was no longer visible. 

It flew in a straight pattern. There seemed to be a light beam of some type within this red/orange light, slowly circulating round and round. 

I started yelling for a neighbor and by the time he got to me, the light was very far away but we both knew based on the distance there should have been some type of noise even at that distance. 

When my neighbor didn’t hear a noise either he suggested it was a silent helicopter. Seems a bright, glowing red/orange light would defeat the purpose of a noiseless aircraft, if they are even being made?

Next morning I started Googling everything I could find, even ‘drones’, this was not a drone. I found your website, but didn’t see anything that related until today. 

Apparently I’m not the only one that saw this, thank God!

Any ideas what it could have been?  Has this been debunked yet? I am absolutely a believer that life exists elsewhere in the universe, but still can’t believe I actually saw what I think I saw. Thank you for being there!

8 To 10 Bright Orange/Red Lights In The Sky Over Winter Park Florida

Date:  February 2, 2013
Time:  Evening.

I tried to connect to the link to share my sighting from 02/02/2013, but I can not connect to it. I saw about 8-10 bright orange/red lights in an odd formation and moving slow and very odd.

I work in the flight industry and see aircraft of all sorts and traffic patterns and holding patterns all the time. These acted like no aircraft, but acted like no meteor, or natural occurrence.

What I saw seemed to be piloted they would move this way then the next then in less than a minute they all faded out one by one started from the middle of the formation out.

Incredible, unfortunately I could not get my camera to pick up what I was seeing.
