Observed from
the porch of his residence (indicated as witness
"X" on map) - first observed as a dot coming
across the sky from South over the water to
North/Northwest (towards Tsawassen Ferry
terminal). Opaque gray "primer"-coloured sphere
under 1000 feet in altitude, approximately 25
feet in width, emitting no sound, no heat and no
colour. The whole event was fast - 3 to 4
seconds. When the witness first saw it he
thought it was a missile, and was expecting a
sonic boom.
The object
approached his location on a roughly parallel
heading to the shoreline, but slightly towards
the ocean (NNW). The object stopped, zig-zagged
towards the shore, and resumed its original
flight path, accelerating out of sight towards
the North (see diagram).
When the
witness first sighted the object (when it was
just a dot), he thought it was a missile, but he
now believes that it was some sort of probe
doing a recon of the shore.
