Fireball over Burke Mountain (viewed from; over Surrey/White Rock), BC · Canada

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

July 3rd 2023 (full moon) While driving home with my kids I noticed the light shining way way brighter than any airplane or star. Airplanes flying past looked tiny in comparison. Fireball or “light” was stationary not moving seemed low in sky and closer than any airplanes. Airplanes flew by ans if not there. Extremely bright seemingly burning fireball looked glorious in the sky. No noise. No movement. Went home to my rooftop patio where I often spend time - filmed again. I have seen this TWO other times, once in 2021 and again 2022 almost exactly the same but different dates, very slightly different locations and I’ve never seen this so close and so bright before - I watch this particular view at night regularly (almost every night) as I spend a lot of time on my patio. After 45 minutes to an hour light disappeared and did not return - I have not seen it since. I became really sick the next day symptoms of food poisoning. With other sightings I don’t recall if I had a physical reaction but I know that those sightings were also a one time thing. This is not the usual thing I see in the sky - I see airplanes from all angles constantly - this is not an airplane for certain. Or at least I’d be shocked to find out it was. I have videos
