Sphere over Nanaimo (Nanaimo), BC · Canada

The report, as filed

We had just gone outside and the sighting was between 11:30pm and 12:30 am, during the late hours of Saturday, June 29th. I was admiring the view, when a strange sphere caught my eye. I was looking to the south as if it were above Duncan, BC. It was angular (a faceted sphere), orangish-brown (sort of like rusted metal) and was reflecting the light emitted from the city along one of its flat parts. It was rotating slowly as it smoothly glided across the sky, similar to how a satellite moves. But it was HUGE. It looked to be higher than an airplane's altitude, but large enough for me to clearly tell its colour and shape. There were no lights coming from it aside from the reflection, and it was silent. I alerted my boyfriend who was also bewildered by it and then we noticed a second one following behind at the same speed. They were sort of smoothly gliding/tumbling across the sky to a similar speed you'd watch an airplane fly across and eventually entered cloud cover. The whole ordeal was about 1-2 minutes of uninterrupted observation on our part. Curious to see if anyone else saw these.
