Unknown over Campbell River, BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 22:30 hrs. on May 26, 2019, I looked up and saw a string FIVE (5) evenly spaced bright white (medium star brilliance) objects travelling in linear formation in a SW to NE direction. This formation covered an arc of approximately 1/20th of the sky. From time to time a SIXTH (6) object would appear behind the others for a few seconds then fade. TWICE a SEVENTH (7) object appeared much farther behind and much brighter than the rest, as bright as almost any star. These objects took approximately 2 minutes to transit the sky. The trajectory was steady, and the spacing did not appear to change. SpaceLink satellites. PD

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Canadian military and radar records answer to the Access to Information Act; historic UFO files are held by Library and Archives Canada. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
