Two days later, at Kamloops, British Columbia, a town about 275 miles southeast of Rivers Inlet, an old gentleman at the local old folks home got out of bed at about 2 o'clock to take some medicine. Glancing out the window he spotted: ". . . a huge globe of fire rising above the hill east of the Industrial School, which upon looking through his window more attentively, seemed to expand and flutter from side to side, but still kept rising to a great height and advancing to the southwest, and at intervals streaks of light would dart out to the sides." The old gentleman aroused his neighbors and a crowd soon gathered outside the rest home to watch the light rise higher in the sky and eventually disappear in the southwest two hours later.
