The report, as filed
i was walking along a trail going to meet somebody, all of a sudden i seen an explosion in the sky it was light blue and it fell downwards for about 3 seconds, a noise that sounded like sparkling came along with the sight. As i was in merrit bc high in the mountains the object was very clear and big. We suspect a hoax. Source does not indicate a date.
