The report, as filed
I was heading to work, when I decided to look up at the night sky to see if there were any Northern Lights visible during the solar flare. I was looking north and saw 2 stars instead but what caught my eye was that the second star was moving. Both stars were of the same intensity and brightness to the naked eye and it had not occurred to me it could be a moving object. The UFO was not bright and blended well with the other night stars. If it had not moved, you would thought it was just a star. I initially thought it was a meteor/shooting star, but what made me suspicious was that it moved in a slow, crooked, line, about 1 cm per 1-1.5 sec (take a ruler and move it about 30 cm away from your face/eye and hold the ruler, that is how fast it was moving when you are looking at the night sky, I am not sure how else to describe it). The "star" moved east in an obviously crooked line and eventually drifted south-east and disappeared out of sight. It did not blink so it is unlikely it was an airplane, and it does not have other lights nor was shaped like a triangle so it may not even be a drone at all. It had no other coloured lights nor multiple lights. The night sky was quiet and that "star" did not produce any sounds. The sky was clear with no clouds so visibility was not an issue.

We saw a very sharp orange light to the east of Vancouver, quite high. Mabey over Couq. it was hard to judge the distance and height because I don't know how big it was. I looked through the spy glass and just saw a sharper light. It stayed in one spot for at least 45m that's when I went to sleep at 22.45hrs. There was no twinkle or any movement of any sort, just hung there. I see these all the time.

I was outside having my coffee this morning and I noticed a large structure floating slowly upwards. It appeared to resemble the size and shape of a first stage falcon 9 rocket. I video taped the object.

I was walking my dog and looking up at the moon, and from the northwest came a moving satelite. I thought I was looking at stars, until one of them appeared to move, across the sky, overhead, moving South East for like 3 seconds...then followed by another...then followed by another, etc for like a dozen times, all in exact formation, following eachother in a line, like a studded belt. I ran into my place across the street and grabbed my camera, the dog following, curious. I ran back to the site location and the event was still in progress, so a good 2 minutes in duration by then. I attempted photos, but my phone-cam can barely get a shot of the moon; it's too weak. So I continued to observe, wondering about it. A passerby walked up and I accosted him to give a look, and we marvelled over the sight of their continuing number, flying in steady formation, about 3 visible at a time, spread over the sky, in a constant line. As soon as one disappeared into the dis! tance, another would appear from whence the other came. The event lasted about 10 minutes, maybe 15, because I also had time to phone my friend and tell him about it, while it occurred. I've been deflowered! Thank you for reading this far.

I observed the objects for about 2 minutes with 2 other witnesses and then the objects disappeared as quickly as they appeared in the afternoon sky. At the time of observation, the sky was clear blue with no clouds whatsoever.

Watched similar brightness to satellites over 30 circular lights moving slowly in a singular line from west to southeast, also witnessed 3 others move in separate trajectory during main event. One moved from south to north, one from north to south and one was following same trajectory as the 30+ but in a higher line.

I woke up at 4:30am to study. I was sitting in the living room that has large scale windows. Around 6am I noticed a weird object in the sky. It was shaped like one of the total utility curves we study in economics but without the decreasing part of the curve. It was shimmering continuously and was in the place for about 40 minutes. It then disappeared.
