Light over Inside Passage (Canada), BC · Canada

The report, as filed

From the location 49*19.43'N by 124*00.55'W bearing 75*Magnetic on the water of the Inside Passage en route to Alaska, my crew and I witnessed a steady bright light very slowly streaking horizontally, not far up from the horizon, and then abruptly dropping and falling, but still slowly. Each incident faded into and out of visibility over the course of a few minutes, and a couple of times there were two in the sky, simultaneously. After twenty minutes or so, the show was over. I am a commercial salmon fisherman, and have been most of my adult life. I'm an artist, musician and a father and perfectly open to any possibilities. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness, a fact underscored that he skippers a commercial fishing vessel. PD
