I
was watching a movie with a friend. After the movie I went outside on
my deck to have a cigarette. My deck faces north, towards the
mountains. I light my cigarette and noticed two bright orange lights to
the left of me, west in the sky. If I was to guess, I would say 500 to
1000 feet in the sky, below cloud level. At first I though they were to
jet fighters as what I saw looked like two, separate afterburners and
were turning at a speed and ratio only a fighter jet could. I quickly
realized they were not jet fighters as they were coming towards me,
moving east and there was no sound at all. I would not see the
afterburners if they were flying towards me. I opened the door and
called my friend to come out and see. They moved like a snake in the
sky following one another. By the time they got in line with my house
they were starting to get smaller. I noticed the reason they were
getting smaller was they were quickly ascending. I could tell this as
you seen them go up, through the clouds and out the other side. They
ascended while still moving through the sky like a snake and with no
sound at all, and then they were gone. This all lasted maybe one and a
half minutes or less. There ascending time from when I noticed them
getting smaller until they disappeared was about 20 seconds max. Very
fast and had to be twice the height a commercial plane fly's at by the
time they were gone. About a minute or two later a commercial plane
flew over the house moving west to east on the south side of the house.
It was a lot higher in the sky, moved a lot slower and could definitely
be heard. I can't say what it was I saw as all you could see was the
fire like sphere. I do know I have not seen any man made plane fly like
this, I attend the Air Show every year. A remote controlled device
could not be possible do to the land mass it covered from east to west
and the height in which it went. You do not get that range from a
remote control device. It was one of the coolest things I have ever
seen and I hope I see something like that again!

5-Jan-2012, Gabriola Island, BC:
On
our way to Gabriola from Nanaimo (by ferry) we noticed what we thought
was an aircraft that seemed to be flying slowly towards and over
Gabriola Island. It appeared to have a large white light on each side
and two flashing coloured lights at the front and back. Because I
thought it was a plane I wasn't paying a great deal of attention to it,
just idly watching it while I spoke with my friend. But then it
suddenly just disappeared. The time was 10:35 pm. We both sat straight
up when it disappeared and tried scanning the sky to find it, but it
was not in sight.
When
the ferry landed we disembarked and starting driving down North Road.
We just passed the elementary school when just above us at what
appeared to be tree top level we were almost blinded by two white
lights and four flashing lights. Whatever the air craft was, it sat
there for just a moment and then moved away at a high speed flying
south east. We did not hear any noise coming from the craft.
The distance between the white lights was about the width of the road (40-60 feet).

I
took my dog outside to a nearby field and let him off his leash. I went
to sit on a bench when I noticed a massive white light in the sky. I
just stood there staring at it at first wondering what it was because
it wasn't moving. As small as a star looks, this light was 100 times
bigger. It wasn't a plane because I see planes at night all the time
and I know what they look like and I have never seen a plane with that
big of a light - ever! I thought that maybe it was a helicopter
hovering but it was way too high to be that. After watching the light
for about 2 minutes I saw another light moving toward it from the
right. I thought that's a plane for sure and I wondered if the pilot
could see it. Then all of a sudden that light stopped moving too. It
was hovering right beside the bright white light. It had 3 lights and
it just hovered. It was surreal and I had a strange feeling that I was
looking at something that wasn't from earth. I called my dog over to me
to leash him because I was kind of scared. I bent to leash him and when
I glanced back up the lights were gone. Nowhere in sight. I know
these weren't planes. Did anyone else see these lights and if you did
can you explain what it was I was looking at?

Was
walking home after work with my fiance when suddenly on a picture clear
night the sky started flashing. It looked to us as if sheet lightning
was lighting up the sky. But it was a clear night. Suddenly we looked
and saw this bright light tail off then dissapear to the northwest.
What makes it odd is that we didnt even have to look around for where
it was. Our minds just automatically knew. After seeing this thing, we
felt really funny and it seemed that our minds couldn't process a
single thing. Conversations were spurred randomly and we couldnt even
stay on topic. To top that off both of our ears were burning like
someone was putting a lighter to them, and things were creepy during
the walk. It didn't feel safe out there and all the animals were quiet
for about 45 minutes after we saw this happen.
Things have now gotten back to normal now. Does anyone know what this could be???

29/30-Nov-2011, Vancouver, BC: (midnight)
On
Nov 29/30 (midnight), 2011, my husband & I were walking into our
yard coming from a party. He was still on the sidewalk and said "Do you
see this?" I looked up, walking back to the sidewalk. There were
4 bright orange lights in the sky, in a defined "formation" (almost
like NESW) By the time I saw them the far left (No 4) was just breaking
formation, while the others hovered motionless. I tried to find my
camera in my purse but we could not take our eyes off them. We felt no
fear, and were drawn to them. We felt they had "seen us". We were
telling each other what we were seeing to ensure we both saw the same
thing! Then suddenly we both realized there were only 2 in the sky,
from 4. We never saw the others leave or "blink out"...they were
just...gone, only 2 left. At this point, No. 4 started to fly away,
like a plane, not overly fast, but steady. You could see it getting
smaller and fading, but the third blinked out. We saw it "blink away".
Although the night was cloudy, it was not cloudy enough to black out
such a bright light. I paid close attention to that as I thought
it might be an explanation of where the first two went, but no way. In
all we saw them for about a minute. I took a photo but nothing came
through, it was too late so the final one was too far away. A few days
later, still stunned, we both drew pictures of the formation to compare
what we saw, without showing each other till complete. They were
pretty much identical. The only difference in his perception was that
they were between the houses across our street and slightly higher than
them. My perception was they were higher. Not airplane high, but
higher. I am far sighted and he is near sighted if that plays a part in
our different perceptions, but other than that, our memories are
identical. There was an article about orange lights on the blog that
was very similar to what we saw. Does anyone have ANY idea what we may
have seen????

Their
is an article and Photo in the Cloverdale Reporter Newspaper of the
unexplained lights in the sky, with possible UFO references. I watched
them move across the sky at Christmas time, while driving home. I live
near 170th and 60th Avenue. I parked my car, called my kids out to look
because they were so pretty. We also watched them burn out. They were
quite obviously lanterns. They launched more on New Years Eve, and we
watched them too.
UFO*BC Responds:
Thanks
for the heads up. I'm pretty sure that there have been many, many
reports of Chinese lanterns as UFOs. It is my understanding that New
Year is a very popular time to launch these lanterns, but they are also
can be launched pretty much any time of the year. It is thought that
these lanterns do contribute to spikes in reported UFOs for this time
of year.
We have had some reports that do suggest others are still mystified by them and are not familiar with the phenomena.
There was actually one video of lanterns posted as "UFOs" that was taken in Surrey last year.

It
was just after 7 in the evening on Friday January 13th. I was at
Rutherford Mall with my 2 daughters age 5 and 7. We were sitting
outside the theater selling their fundraising bars when I walked about
20 feet away to have a smoke and give the younger one a snack. I looked
up at the sky at the stars and when I looked towards the north end I
saw this bright orangey/red ball of light. At first I thought it was a
plane or helicoptor but then I noticed there was not another light on
it and that this seemed like it was just a big ball of light like a
flare or ball of fire. I watched it move south across the sky in a
straight line and noticed I didnt hear any sound but I kept trying to
figure it out so I called to my 7 year old and showed her and at 7:09
we watched it stop and vanish. I started typing it into my phone to
remember the time and date when my 7 year old yelled "there is another
one". I looked up to the north end again and there was a ball of light
just the same as before. I watched it for a few seconds then reached
for my phone and put the time in 7:12pm as I did this it had
disappeared again so I finished typing and looked around the sky and
sure enough from the north appeared another one at 7:15pm. Now all 3
seemed to appear from nowhere and then disappear just as fast not
really fading slowly but a bit then it was gone. It was so bright and
orange I could not explain it wish I knew if others had seen it too or
if someone knew what it was.
I see things in the sky all the time but never like that.

22-Jan-2012, Surrey, BC:
There's
been a few different activities in my area and I would like to know
whether more people have witnessed these experiences as well besides me
and my room mate. We have seen quite alot of action in Surrey and
wanted to note a few of them down hoping others have seen similar
things related to ufos or supernatural occurances. I have no mental
issues to be concerned about and am very curious why things are
occuring, especially in our presence. On Jan 22nd and a few days later,
we have witnessed a strange ball of light hovering for a long length of
time near surrey central mall somewhere around that area. From where we
currently reside we can view a great distance from the dining room. It
was there where we had seen the large ball of light twice in the same
spot then move away. It was not a plane nor a helicopter since they fly
over regularly everyday and we know exactly how they sound and how
their shape is. This was clearly not a known aircraft that we are
familiar with and was very unusual. The last time we spotted it, it was
hovering low and my roommate took a picture of it off his cell phone. I
tried taking a video recording of it, but when I went to check it there
was no place to be found on file. This was very odd because I knew I
took the recording. We noticed a helicopter fly by the unknown craft
that hovered just below him. I'm cuirous if he saw this as well or if
any other aircrafts have. It suddenly went towards the New West area
from where it was. The last sighting we had was a couple days ago
during dinner. We sat by the dining room window again which was
slightly opened that night. I could still view outside and what
appeared to be a half moon shaped craft floating by and was very misted
or partially invisible but was large and a bright light. My room mate
just caught it floating by when I mentioned it, we were both stunnned
this occurred to be another sighting. I knew I couldn't have been
seeing things and was not imagining this.
If
I mention this, I dont want to sound or come across as if Im going nuts
or out of my mind which I know I am not, but feel it could be of
importance to say something about it because maybe others are able to
relate and have had similar dreams too. Over the years I have had
several strange dreams unsure why I have had them but know they were
very clear and vivid relating to ufo's and the supernatural.
UFO*BC Responds:
Thank
you for reporting these strange sightings. Can you tell me what time of
day you saw the ball of light on January the 22nd? Where are you
located specifically - you don't have to give me your address if you
don't want to, just the nearest intersection. What direction were you
looking? Typically the Streets in Surrey are aligned North-South and
the Avenues are aligned East-West. Is it possible for you to send us
the picture from your cell phone? If possible, please don't re-size it
or change it in any way - we would like to see the unaltered original
image.
Just to clarify, the dreams you mention at the end of your message are
different from the actual sightings you have had, correct?
Waiting to hear from you.

Witness Responds:
Yes
the dreams I have had are not related, they just appeared spontaeously
on different occasions throughout the years almost as if there is
a message given to me, but that's where I'm not clear on and is when
I'm about to wake up. I have written them down the best i could. I can
still clearly see them as if it really occurred. I don't want to sound
like I'm crazy or anything, I just am curious and want to know
why Im having them. According to these sightings my roomate and I
have seen, I'm not sure if anyone else is seeing them at all?
This is towards looking at the West from Guildford, it seemed to appear
above and in the West of Surrey central heading towards Richmond. I
thought it was New West, my mistake, I do apologise, but to really
realise which way it appeared, it is towards Richmond. We are in the
mid direction where the planes we watch come and go from the Richmond/
Vancouver airport. We know what helicopters & planes are, by
the sizes of their shapes and sounds, since we watch them occasionally
from our dining room and is not often we see strange lights hovering in
one place for a long lengths of time with helicopters and planes flying
above it.
The
time was between 9pm and 11pm, as for a picture , I'm not sure if we
can download it onto this computer, but we will give it our best.
Thank you.

but, it started to move. I pointed it out to my friends who both saw
this as well. The object moved northwest making a array of odd
maneuvers before resuming its south/western direction then vanished

I
am not sure what I saw, and am seeking verification. I have already
determined it was not the International Space Station, satellites,
comet, meteor, plane or helicopter. This leaves basically a star
(pulsar) or something else.
In the Western sky (from North Surrey, looking towards Tsawwassen
direction), I saw what I thought might have been a plane. But in 20
mins, hadn't moved. It was a large light, rotating Green, Red and
Yellow.
I
did not see it on prior nights, nor since. Curious if anyone else saw
anything, or if there is an explanation. Thank you for your time.

was at a friend's home out on the Sumas Prairie one evening, and we
went outside to have a smoke and look at the stars. I looked toward
Mission area and spotted a large object above two mountain ranges.
Above and to the left of the object was the Space Station, to the right
and below the object was one of those tall navigational towers for
planes. After observing it for a bit, we could make out two spheres,
close together, one on top of the other. They were bright, stationary
and quite large. From our view point, it looked to be as big as
my hand. We went back outside 2 hours later, and it was gone. We could
still pinpoint the Space Station and the navigational tower. So, my

I would have blinked I would have missed it. I immediately jumped out
of my chair and ran outside onto my back deck and looked in the general
direction where they were heading but there was no sign of them. I
heard no noise when those lights streaked past. I estimate the altitude
at around 500 to 1000 feet. This sighting happened around dusk so it
wasn't totally dark outside. The direction they were heading was toward
the town of Cache Creek so that would be north. At first I thought this
could be a meteor, but it was traveling straight across the sky not
downwards.

about 50 meters away across the street hovering maybe 10-20 meters
above the trees. It sat there and hovered for about a minute not moving
at all, then the light started to fade into 3 smaller lights, 1 red 2
yellow in a triangle formation and it slowy flew away then just

I was driving in a north east dirction toward Kelowna I spotted two
lights that were perfectly level with each other and visibly lower than
the stars. Just as I was saying to my friend to look, the smaller of
the two disappeared, so I at that point pulled over and got out to
look. Within a 5 minute span of time it reappeared. I got off the hwy
and started driving in the direction of the lights just to notice that
they were fading as I got under them a bit .. thats when we noticed
that they seemed to have a top and a bottom, the lights were point
outward not up or down. I took a picture of them on my cell phone in
regular color and one in negative and they are visible in both pictures
but with the quality of my phone I can never get pictures of stars.
Then
again on the night of the 13th I was standing outside and glanced to
the west of Kelowna and the same lights were there but in a different
location to each other. I took a few more pictures and at that point I
called a friend that I knew had that star label app on her Iphone told
her as simple as look outside there are two bright lights that I'd like
you to point your phone at .. she spotted them really fast and nothing

took a few photos in case it wasn't an airplane. The photos arent very

the orb. After we came inside I kept looking out the door at it wanting
to see if it would disappear. I must have turned my head for no more
than a minute and when I looked back it was gone. I said to my fiance

Heading
275 degrees west, spotted over coordinates 49'0'26 N 123'7'48 W (view
from Tsawwassen Terminal, over the Coal Port) at approximately at 8:40
pm. Saw two red parallel blinking lights seemingly parallel to each
other, acted almost as 1 object, a rough guess 1 km apart, not moving
in a straight line, the tail light appeared to sway from left to right,
while front light moved parallel like a cigar almost, but I could not
tell if it was two or 1 object. It moved slightly slower than normal
planes taking about 15 mins to disappear into horizon from a starting
point of about 2 km from me. Let me mention I work here, and see a lot
of planes, lights, helicopters, and know the regular flight paths, I
have seen a lot of weird lights but none that would have me truly
scratching my head, THIS was not on a regular flight path, and moved so
oddly that it had two of my non UFO enthusiast co-workers saying wtf.
It's the best I could do, I didn't have a good camera on my iPhone 3GS
I took a photo from where I was looking at it from, I added two red
dots to kind of give you an idea of what it looked like from where I
was. The map picture with red and yellow dot, its my representation
of a bird's eye view of how I thought it was moving, the yellow dot
represents the "tailing light" (both lights were red) each circle
represents kind of a snap shot of how it was moving, the tailing light
was swinging side to side and the front one would sometimes swing to
the left of it, it always kept equal distance apart, and would look
like it was getting closer together with the tail light was passing
behind it only to come to the other side and show they were still equal
distance apart, if you can imagine how the would look from the ground
looking up, not from a bird's eye view.

May 1977, Fauqier, BC:
I
lived in Fauquier, BC, which is a small town that is built along side
the Arrow Lakes. As a young boy I would lay outside in the summer night
and watch the dancing stars in the sky and did not think much of it
until one day in May of 1977, it was just past 12 noon and myself, my
brother and at least a dozen other kids witnessed a daytime UFO. It was
so fast that it was really just a brilliantly shiney object about the
size of a VW bug and as was stated in the Sunshine Bay
incident, there was silence, no sound whats-so-ever from this object.
It was flying about 200 feet above the lake in an eastern direction and
then abruptly went straight up and disapeared into the blue sky. This
area in the Kootenays, is very volcanic, there are many natural hot
springs along the lake and I have often wondered if in some way there
is a connection between the UFO activity and the volcanic activity.

My
girlfriend and I were at a beach in West Sechelt on New Years Eve 2011
for an evening walk with our dog. It was 5:15 pm when we arrived,
and the sun had set about 45 minutes earlier so it was not totally dark
yet, but rather a deep indigo blue. As soon as we got there, I
surveyed the ocean and the sky, as I always do. There were no
stars visible as there was high cloud cover, and no air traffic in the
area that I could see. I glanced down to where the dog was
running along the beach, and looked up again less than 10 seconds
later, and halfway between the town of Sechelt and the Trail Islands
offshore, above the water had appeared 4 separate, very bright white
lights positioned in a perfect line, at an angle of about 65
degrees. A fifth light was barely visible, positioned just above
the last, lowest altitude one. The three uppermost lights were
very bright – brighter than a search light or spot light – but the
lowest altitude light was even brighter... brighter and very large, and
it had a slight pulsation. The lights remained completely
stationary for about 5 minutes as my girlfriend and I watched.
Then the “highest” light travelled down to the level of the lowest
light and began moving across in the direction of Nanaimo. There
was no sound at all. One by one, each of the lights did the same,
descending to the altitude of the bottom light, and then heading across
towards Vancouver Island. The bottom light (the brightest and
biggest), became even brighter for a short period, and then finally
also moved over to the west. We lost sight of the lights as they
approached Vancouver Island. The whole event lasted approximately
10-12 minutes. Of course I have tried to find a reasonable
explanation for what we saw, but it was unlike any plane or helicopter
activities I have ever seen, and the fact that the lights were
positioned at different altitudes and arranged in an absolutely perfect
straight line has left me baffled. I have included a rough
illustration of what we saw that night for more clarification.
Perhaps someone else can offer another explanation?

Summer 1967, New Westminster, BC: (about 7 pm)
The
summer I was 13 I was walking up to a girlfriend's home from my home on
Edinburgh Street. Just as I turned to walk up the hill on 13th I saw a
strange round object in the sky coming towards me over the houses from
the west. It was huge, dark grey metallic, not shiny, had red and green
lights on the lower edge that appeared to be either moving in a
circular fashion or vibrating. I stood and looked up and watched it
hover almost over head for at least 6 to 8 seconds. I looked around to
see if anyone else was on the street seeing what I was seeing but no
one was there. All of a sudden it headed off in the direction it had
come from at an incredible speed! In a second or two it was no longer
visible. I turned and ran home as fast I could and told my father and
he came outside and we both scanned the sky but saw nothing. It's been
45 years and I still wonder what I saw. Tonight I happened to have the
TV on and a show about UFO's came on and I got the idea to type into
the internet "summer 1967 UFO sightings New Westminster" and realised
that other people had seen things in the area that summer. I'm not a
nutbar..trust me!..but there was something VERY unusual flying around
my neighborhood that night! I have never since sighted anything strange
in the sky.
I thought I would document my memory for any of you seriously studying the phenomena.
Thank you, Colleen, Ottawa, Ont.

On
the evening of Saturday, April 21, 2012 my sister and I had gone
outside to chat while I had a cigarette. My sister was around the
corner of the house when she raised her voice to tell me „hey, come and
see this‰.
As I joined her I could see a very large ball of light with a rotating
beam of light coming out of the top of it. This ball of light was
hovering over Mount Arrowsmith about halfway up the side of the
mountain. The ball was so bright as to be illuminating the side of the
mountain and the clouds that it was under. Although you could see the
ball of light quite clearly with the naked eye I went in to get
binoculars for a close view and when I looked throught them at the
light, two smaller balls of light detached themselves from the big
light and then they split up to wander along the base of the mountain
before returning into the big light. After a few minutes the big ball
of light faded away and the mountain side was dark. A few minutes later
the big ball of light returned out of nowhere and the entire sequence
repeated itself and once again after a few minutes, faded to black. The
entire event took approximately 15 minutes to play out.
I have no idea whether this was man made (military) or something else.
I tried to capture a photo with my ipad 2 but the lights would not
appear on the screen when the surrounding house lights did!

While
driving home I saw some strange lights moving in the near horizon. As I
got closer I realized they were hovering not moving over a skidoo
dealership, maybe 50 feet above the large dome that covers the
dealership. I pulled over to get a better look. As I drove in to
the parking lot, the "aircraft" noticed me and started moving after
being stationary for about 10-20 seconds just hovering over the
dealership. The lights from the "aircraft" were arranged in a
circle(about 8 lights). I rolled the window down and I could hear the
"aircraft's" engine. It sounded similar to a plane's engine, however
the ship was circular. I couldn't get a clear sight of the ship since
the lights were quite bright, but could tell it was a circular body
shape. Never seen a plane hover, never seen a circular plane....

28-May-2009, Vancouver, BC: (about 11:30 pm)
On
Thursday night, May 28, 2009 at about 11:30 pm I was walking home. I
was only a block away from my apartment, at Delmont Park on 7th Ave.
and Arbutus St. in Vancouver. I was walking along the sidewalk at the
edge of the park beside the blackberry bushes, just before the train
tracks. I paused to look at the view downtown and I looked up. I saw an
object fly by. It came from the southeast going straight northwest. It
looked to be a small white round object. It looked like it was not
quite spherical, as though it may have had an edge protruding along the
sides. It was dark outside and I could not distinctly see the
boundaries of the object. At the time, I estimated that it was about
200 yards away from me, up in the air, at approximately a 45 degree
angle above in front of me. I thought it was about two feet in
diameter. The sky was mostly covered with clouds that were broken up
with gaps between them so this obscured the clarity of the object even
more. When I met with veteran investigator Richard Haines, he asked me
if the object reflected any light from the ground and I said no. During
the sighting, my state of mind was normal. I did not consume any
alcohol or drugs. This experience did not have any effect on me. I
almost forgot about it.
Two weeks later, when I wrote down this account on June 11th, I went
out at noon to the same spot. Holding my thumb up at arm's length, I
estimated that the object was almost the width of my thumb. What I'm
unsure of is the distance. It may have been about only 200 feet away.
It's hard to estimate. The object was completely silent and did not
look like a bird. It was a bit faster than a bird, maybe about 35 mph.
It looked almost spherical with maybe an edge and birds do not look
spherical. It had no lights at all. I just saw it in the reflected city
lights. It went in a straight line until it was out of my sight, with
buildings blocking my view. The sighting lasted for about seven seconds.
At the time of the unexpected sighting I did not believe that it was a
UFO. When I went home and thought about it, I still didn't think it was
a genuine UFO, in the sense of it being an alien craft but I felt I had
to be open to that possibility since I just couldn't guess what it was.
Now, I'm a bit more inclined to think that maybe it was a real UFO but
I just don't feel definite about that. I keep wondering what it was?!
It did not look dramatic or special but it wasn't a plane- it was
silent with no lights and too small and it didn't look like a plane. It
was a silent night, my neighbourhood was quiet. If the object made a
noise I would have heard it unless it was miles high. If that's so,
then it was much bigger than I guessed. The focusing of my eyes made me
conclude that it was close to me, not far away. I wish I could figure
out what it was.

April 2012, Mission, BC: (about 10:00 pm)
I
live in Mission, in the College Heights area, by Heritage Park and
something happened a couple weeks ago that baffled me, and to be
honest, freaked the living hell out of me.
First off, before I start, I am not a drinker, nor am I a user of any
illegal or "hippy" narcotics. I'm someone with a degree, a family, a
good job, a nice home. I live the typical middle-class life. However
two weeks ago, what friends of mine and I saw wasn't cool in my books.
It started off on a Saturday night, where around 10:00pm on a clear
night, we noticed two orange balls of light with a silver rod
connecting them flying southeast to northwest. We saw this as we were
looking ove towards Chilliwack. And it was moving, without sound or
usual standard airplane or airline strobes.
Then, about 20 minutes later, while we were still chatting about what
we saw, something caught our attention. We looked up, and basically my
words were, "What the F**K is that?" It was a giant triangle sitting
above my house. I'm going to estimate at about 1,000 feet. With the
same orange lights connected by silver rods. There were no other lights
and no sound. It travelled straight south to north and disappeared in
the sky like it was flying through something. There were no clouds in
the sky. Nothing! There were about 9 or 10 of these orange lights
inside the triangle, as I said before, connected by the silver rods.

1-May-2012, Nanaimo, BC: (10:20 pm)
I
was at the parking lot of the central Nanaimo Thrifty Food parking lot.
About 10:20 pm I observed a very bright orange, sparkling light in the
sky. I cannot tell how far away this light was but it was southeast of
my location. At first I thought it was an airplane, or signal tower or
flare but the there were no aircraft lights, nor was there any
sound. It was clear that night and I was able to compare what I
seeing to other stars and it was much to bright to have been one. This
light disappeared /blinked off after about one minute. I expected to
see it return so I waited in the paking lot looking in the direction I
had seen it. After about 4 minutes this light reappeared. This time I
observed moving very slowly in a southeaterly direction. It moved back
and forth very slowly for another 3 to 4 minutes. The light then
blinked off again. I waited another few moments before deciding to get
in the car and leave. I did not see it again.
