Fireball over Kelowna, BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The light was bigger than a house and had a fluorescent hue to it. After 5 seconds it started fading but the mountaintop was still illuminated. Immediately afterwards a jet flew overtop and left a jet stream. I’m not sure if it’s some sort of testing area but I’ve never seen a light that bright in my life. I couldn’t get to my camera quick enough so I only have the after lighting.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166685). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

At approximately 11:03 pm June 3rd I observed out of my home’s basement window what appeared to be a bright blue illuminated object travelling in a straight line at a very low altitude. At first I thought it was a plane associated with the airport (I live near black mountain). The object was not lit up as a plane and I suspected maybe it was a drone of some kind as it appeared to be triangular in shape from what I could see was illuminated by this blue glow. I have to add there were no sounds of visible signs of fireworks of any kind. I only observed this object for a few seconds as what appeared to be bright yellow sparks were suddenly trailing the blue lit object and almost immediately after that the object completely disappeared. I am retired law enforcement and I felt very uneasy after seeing this object.
