Light over Britannia Beach, BC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting on a deck with all exterior lights extinguished and little light pollution, capturing stars by using 10-sec exposure and wide angle lens, setting the camera on a table pointing up and clicking the button. All other objects in the sky are stationary. In the upper left of the photo, an odd pattern showed up. Zooming in showed a series of lights in 2 or 3 streaks like a fast-moving object traveling in an erratic curved path. Checked Starlink finder website, and nothing showed visible at the time. Could possibly be something like a couple fireflies flying in a formation, but that seems far-fetched. Hard to say what it may be. Coordinates: (49.6302882, -123.1967065) [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Possible]
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177529). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Canadian military and radar records answer to the Access to Information Act; historic UFO files are held by Library and Archives Canada. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
