SIGHTING: PARKSVILLE, BRITISH COLUMBIA (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"On Tuesday August 11, 2015 I was vacationing in Parksville, Canada, which is located on the east coast of Vancouver Island in Canada. At approximately 9:30pm I witnessed a bright orb-shaped light suddenly appear in the night sky across the water from the beach boardwalk in Parksville. The bright light appeared and disappeared about 4 times. It looked like it ascended from the water and then descended back into the water. During this time a smaller red light appeared to move away and around the bright white light. This continued for about an hour. I photographed the unidentified lights with my digital camera which was equipped with a telephoto lens and mounted on a tripod. I also made a few time exposures with my camera. At first I thought the light might have been a flare but it remained stationary and then a red light appeared to move from it. The night sky at the time of the sighting was completely black until the lights appeared. I talked with a few of the locals and asked about what the origin of the lights might be. They had no idea. I have been a professional photographer for over 35 years and this has to be one of the strangest sights that I have ever witnessed and/or photographed. "
