My girlfriend and myself were out camping about 45 minutes away from Cranbrook, in the Koocanusa area. At approximately 11:15 PM, I was out of our tent, watching the night sky, and enjoying the calm of the night. As I took my eyes off the sky for a slight moment, I noticed an abnormally bright light in my peripheral vision. I gazed to night sky and followed this bright light trace the sky for about 5 seconds before the light diminished. After dininishing, the light tracing the sky was as dim as an average satellite, still tracing the sky. Questioning what I had witnessed I turned to my girlfriend, who at the time was reading a book in our tent with the door wide open, and asked if she saw the object that I had just seen. She stated that indeed she had seen it in the same manner that I had. She had seen the abnormal bright light out of her peripheral vision while reading, then continued to follow the object until it had diminished to a distant light tracing the sky.
