SIGHTING: SECHELT, BRITISH COLUMBIA (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"Have seen many similar strange sightings over the last two years, viewed across the water around Sechelt, BC. In all instances, the events included orange lights, sometimes in formation, travelling over the Strait of Georgia towards Nanaimo. This particular sighting on April 14/14 took place between and slightly behind the Trail Islands as viewed from West Sechelt (at approximately a distance of 3km / 4 miles), at around 10pm. There were six lights, travelling together in pairs at different altitudes, with the highest being 300m off the water, and the other two pairs just above the water. All were moving together at the same pace. The foremost pair of lights was white in colour, and one blinking light. The second pair was also white lights of medium brightness, while the pair at the highest altitude were orange. While watching the event occur, one of the top orange lights flared up to an extremely bright fireball, and stayed at this incredible brightness for approximtely 1 minute before dimming down. Watched these lights as they headed off across the Strait, and then they became dim and/or blinked out and disappeared. Would love to hear more reports from people in the Sechelt area, as I am sure others have witnessed such events. I always watch for them now, as it seems during certain times of the year the lights can be seen out on the water up to 2 or 3 times per week, ususally about an hour after dusk through to late evening. I have also seen them originate from behind Davis Bay / Wilson Creek area, as viewed from West Sechelt beaches. They usually always show up as orange lights that 'flare up' as they move across the Strait or remain stationary at altitudes approximately the same as regular float plane traffic. "
