Light over Nelson (Canada), BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
my girlfriend and I were out back of the property we live on looking up at the sky. i noticed a dim light no different from a distant star travelling a lot faster than a plane across the sky towards the moonlight just off course of the moon, with another one travelling in the exact same line but miles away from the first, they both seemed to disappear into the moonlight. not 5 seconds later, three more followed in the same line in a very large triangle formation followed by a single one that went from the horizon upwards into the darkness, instead of across the sky like the others. the first five moved at a similar rate of speed, whereas the last moving from the horizon upward moved slightly quicker. neither of the objects made a noise, or left a trail.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154858). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
