The report, as filed

I noticed an object in the sky, it was orb shaped and very bright. It's size was that of a city bus (approximately) It zipped across the sky at incredible speeds and was hard to visually keep up with . It would hover then for approximately 1-2 minutes then just vanish and reappear across the sky. I took my cell out and took a picture. I had my camera on negative as with the sun it was easier to see. On my camera it was a black ball, just moving across the sky. BUT in the photo you can clearly see it has a faint disc shaped outline. ** my left hand is made into a fist to block the sun so I could see The object......as it stayed close to the sun*** Altitude around 500ft It was around noon Blue skies. Just want to know what it was ?!! Thank you for your time! Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

The aircraft was flying too low to be an airplane though, and it was not flying in the direction of our local airport: It was heading NW to SE towards Washington (we live in South Central British Columbia). This aircraft made no noise at all as if it were simply floating through the air. It moved slightly faster than an airplane and maintained a straight trajectory across the sky. There were five lights set in rows; one at the front, two mid/rear, and three along the back. All five lights consistently glowed yellow, with the front light flashing red and the rear corner lights flashing red on the port side and green on the starboard side, not quite the same frequency as a regular airplane but mimicking the pattern with a slower flashing frequency.

I was on the phone with my Grandfather who has been an amateur astronomer and veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force and had watched the Kelowna sky for years . I saw a sequence of lights similar to stars that would fly out into the sky on their own one at a time and then disappear and then another one would come on the exact same line and disappear exactly the same way the other one came but you would only see one star at a time. At that point I showed my grandfather where they were and we watched and saw similar objects high in the sky above where we saw the original ones. It was almost like the space station coming past and disappearing and then another one coming right after it on the same line 10 in a row You could only see one at a time. Each object continued on their own for about seven or eight seconds and then disappear and then the next one would come after it and go on a perfectly straight symmetrical line of the last object.
