between 7:00pm and 8:00pm, Vancouver, B.C.
object was cigar shaped, but pointed at both
ends. It appeared to be heading NW and
climbing at the same time. Speed was
approximately between 300-400 mph. Object was
in sight for about 5 minutes, then it
disappeared. This would indicate that it had
increased its speed tremendously because if
the object had still been travelling the
estimated 300-400mph it would still have been
in sight as the sky was clear and it was still
daylight outside.
The object itself was
luminous, with dark blotches on its surface.
It was 500-1000 feet in length or possibly
longer. Altitude is unknown. Although the
object seemed to be heading NW, it was
climbing at a 45 degree angle.
There were no other aircraft
seen in the sky at the time of this sighting.
No noise seemed to be coming from the object.
