Cigar over Armstrong (Canada), BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Clear night sky, 5 Kilometers outside of a small town, so no light pollution. I walked outside from a friend's place, after playing board games, looked up at the sky and noticed a set of 4 or 5 lights, no brighter than the stars around it, drifting across the sky, heading East. They were in a row (straight line) and if you held your hand up to the sky and spread your thumb and pointer finger 2 inches from each other, that's how long it was. I went back in to the house and got the other 2 people inside to come out, we watched it drift across the sky for 2-3 minutes, unable to come up with an explanation. It eventually went over the nearest mountain range. There was no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146260). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
