I am a fifty-nine year old male writer. My distance vision is excellent. At about 10:45 pm, on October 16th, 2020, I was walking eastbound on Arcola Street in Burnaby, BC, Canada, near the Tommy Douglas library. The area is semi-urban. I stopped to look up, south by southeast. The sky in that direction was mainly clear and Mars was very bright. Small cumulus clouds were blowing past rapidly, eastward, creating a picturesque view. The clouds appeared to be at an altitude of about 1,000 feet over my position – roughly 1,400 feet above sea level. I suddenly became aware of something unusual in my field of view: an extremely large, chevron-shaped object, moving at roughly the same altitude as the clouds blowing past. It was, however, flying directly opposite the direction of the clouds, westbound. It seemed to meander in the sky, following a curved path. Its speed was leisurely. Given its approximate altitude, based on its interaction with the clouds, the object appeared to be several times the size of a Boeing 747. It showed no lights, but was illuminated by light sources on the ground. I can only guess at the color of the object, as it seemed to reflect the ambient light, blending in with the color of the sky. Equally, it may have been semi-transparent. Its sharp, perfectly geometric shape, however, was highly visible. I listened carefully and heard no sound whatsoever. A jet aircraft would have been extremely loud at that altitude. (My location was about 26 km from the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond, B.C. (16 miles.) The object did not follow a straight path, but curved back and forth in the sky, oddly like a gigantic bird riding the wind. I was able to observe the object for approximately one minute. It moved steadily westbound, disappearing behind clouds low enough in the sky that my view became obscured by light pollution and I lost sight of it.

Saw many star-like lights travelling across the sky in the mostly the same direction from northwest to southeast and disappearing in the same area of the sky (likely due to the shadow casted by the Earth at that particular region of the sky). The anomaly was when we saw one of these star-like lights coming from a different direction (south to north) and it was approaching another light coming from the northwest. They looked as though they were about to collide and then suddenly, the light coming from the northwest sped up as if it was trying to avoid a collision.

10 seemingly connected lights flew high above. It was a line and the lights were moving perfectly together. It appeared northwest and flew straight, not very fast, for approximately 30 seconds, then faded in the southeast direction. It looked like a very slow shooting star. I was frtunate enough to get it clearly on video.

This evening my husband took our dogs out side in our back yard facing north towards the mountains . He looked up straight ahead and saw what appeared to be a satellite moving in the sky ( which he has seen many times ) . But what caught his attention was behind that satellite there was another satellite looking object . They kept coming and coming one after the other it was basically a streak of lights but nonstop coming from west to east with a moderate distant between then . And all disappearing at the same place in the sky , the teapot formation ( not orions belt ) but on the opposite side of the sky which is north east from where we are.

8/9 August 2018 - viewing and photographing huge worm-like object in sky over south Burnaby & south Vancouver, B.C. Slowly moving northeast to southwest. Emits a very bright orange light which can be seen with naked eye. Using binoculars and telescopic lens on camera is easily seen changing shapes every 30 seconds. Colours change from orange to silver. Absolutely fantastic! Anyone with a telescope will be amazed!
