Unknown over Coquitlam (Canada), BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This evening at approximately 8:45 PM, I saw a strange 'string' of red lights that blinked one after the other in a straight line, then a white light appeared, then the 'string of red lights', then a green light, followed by another 'string' of red lights, & then a blue light. There was no sound of any kind. It appeared to be only one object but the shape was not identifiable as only the lights could be seen. I've never seen anything like that before. The lights travelled along the waterfront of the harbour from East to West, towards Vancouver & disappeared out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136294). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
