Sightings reported from Williams Lake to Prince George to Fort St. John
What was that in the night sky?
It’s a question being asked by many residents in the B.C. Interior and north after an unusual sighting Tuesday night.
Between 10 and 11 p.m. PT, multiple residents, including this CBC reporter, reported seeing a large, white shape slowly move across the horizon before disappearing from view.
Multiple videos have been posted by residents in community Facebook groups from Williams Lake to Prince George to Fort St. John, over a span of hundreds of kilometres.
Suggestions as to what it might be range from an errant weather balloon to something more out of this world.
CBC News will share more information about the sighting as it becomes available.

I'm sure somebody from the tinfoil hat crowd will have a much more complex, and completely unbelievable explanation. Have at 'er.

Yuppers...Clouds !

Yeah, I always see clouds near the horizon lit up like that after 10 pm… NOT!
Geez, use some freakin’ common sense.
I had a friend like this growing up. He insisted that a light in the sky wasn’t a plane, so it HAD to be a UFO.
“If it’s not a UFO, tell me what it is?”
My sense is that it is a high-altitude cloud illuminated by the sun below the horizon. But I'm left with guessing since the article contains very little useful information.
Well technically it was an Unidentified Flying Object(UFO).
If you live near the western edge of a time zone then that is possible during the summer months.
But probably not now during spring.
That was my guess. Chinese balloon.
Nope, it was a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon)
An out of focus blob in the night sky that looks like a cloud.
Full discloser: I seriously doubt we’re alone in the universe, but this sure as hell ain’t proof to me.
THEM!
smh
Party balloon.
Another Sleepy Joe weather barroon.
Go watch the 2-minute video yourself (link is in the article).
Here’s an update in the article:
Michael Unger, director of programming at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, said while he didn’t see the shape himself, based on video it didn’t appear to be a natural occurrence such as a meteor or cloud cover.
“It certainly looks controlled,” he said, while adding any guesses he could offer would be pure speculation.
The farther it moved to the left the darker it got so it had no light source. Seems odd they could not remotely get it into focus.
