August 1966, time approx. 7:30 pm. Still daylight outside. Clear sky, no aircraft. Bowen Island, BC.

I saw a bright object, which I thought was the planet Jupiter. As I started to get the object in sight with my telescope it started moving SW, and losing altitude. I swung the telescope around and caught the object for less than 3 seconds. It appeared to be egg-shaped with a fin of some kind near the back.

The telescope eyepiece was not properly adjusted therefore blurring the object. The speed was under 300 mph. The object was glowing an orange colour. Total sighting was about 10 minutes. I watched the object until it went out of sight, still travelling SW. I am uncertain of the altitude of the object.
