Time: Approx: 8:15 p.m.
Hi Brian, on Saturday night around 8:15 p.m. September 1, 2012 our family and guests were in a pontoon boat anchored waiting for the annual fireworks display on Skootamatta Lake near the causeway in the lower lake.Moments after the first fireworks sounded the start of the display, I noticed a bright orange/red ball heading down the lake from east to west. There were over 100 boats that were anchored in the same location.
Everyone in the boats were staring at the same object. It appeared to be a few hundred feet above the lake. When it was above our boat it stopped briefly before turning north and headed north at a steady pace.
After a minute it changed to black in colour and appeared to get smaller before disappearing.
There was absolutely no noise. I know other boaters had cameras and were taking pictures.
I have a new cell phone with a camera.
I'm not familiar with taking photos with it yet but I did manage to take 2 photos.
When I attempted to zoom in I accidently triggered a video.
After looking at different news sites on the Web, I didn't see anything in the news. Not sure what the object was.
The fireworks were delayed until the UFO disappeared. I have attached the photos.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.
