Cigar over Terrace, BC · Canada

The report, as filed

Pulled into our driveway (we live a bit out of town, so quiet, rural setting with no street lights) this evening at 10:20 p.m., stepped out of the car and noticed a huge, illuminated, cigar-shaped object moving silently and steadily in a straight line, west to east. It was huge, very high, and passed right over us. I tried to make a video but was so excited, I realized afterwards that I’d failed to press the record button. My daughter managed to take a picture after it had passed over us, but the quality is poor. The object had some sections which were more brightly lit up than others, and it was somewhat hazy. I called my husband and son to come out and see it moments after it passed above us. They saw it too. It seemed to dim slightly then brighten again as it moved away from us at a steady speed before disappearing behind the mountain range. Most incredible thing we’ve ever seen.
