Nothing too exciting, mostly nocturnal lights. Dave Pengilly 3-Oct-98, Whistler: (6:27 pm) From the Whistler Resort, Paul and James watched a round disc travel from SE to NNE, for a period of five minutes. During this time the object changed directions. It appeared to be silver and metallic and was observed in a clear blue sky. 21-Oct-98, Abbotsford: (2:30 am) Witness saw a bright triangular object in the southern sky. It was flashing green, red, blue and yellow. She watched it for over an hour before it slowly moved eastward out of sight. 21-Oct-98, Burnaby: (7:30 am) BCTV received a call at 7:30 about a very bright object in the eastern sky. When BCTV staff checked it out they saw a thin bright light about 15 degrees above the horizon. The Vancouver Airport had nothing on radar. The object was in view for about 10 minutes. 21-Oct-98, Vancouver: (7:30 am) On his way to work, a witness saw a bright metallic object in the eastern sky. It appeared as an airplane fuselage, minus the wings. It was silver in colour at first, then turned bronze (reflecting sun?). The object was about 25 degrees above the horizon and was viewed for about 15 seconds. 22-Oct-98, Abbotsford: (6:45 pm) "Curious Jay" saw a glowing bright orange object in the eastern sky, about 10 to 20 degrees above the horizon. After a minute it seemed to turn into a saucer shape, then after a few seconds, take off due east. It was about ¼ the size of the full moon. 23-Oct-98, Vancouver: (7:30 am) Witness observed a big white light with a long tail travelling from the southwest to the northeast. The object was the size of a dime held at arm&rsquos length, with a 3 inch tail. The object disappeared over Grouse Mountain. Total viewing time of about 6 seconds. 23-Oct-98, Coquitlam: (10:15 pm) Witness was looking out of his window in a westerly direction and noticed a very bright, white light. He estimated it to be about 1 mile away and 2000 feet in altitude. He had his window open but could hear no accompanying sound. After about 20 seconds, the bright white light went out and then he could see 6 lights in a hexagon shape, one light being red. After a surge if brightness, four of the lights went out, leaving only the two front (?) lights. The lights (craft?) moved slowly southwest behind a tree and out of sight. The total viewing time was between 40 and 60 seconds. The sky was overcast. 7-Nov-98, Abbotsford: (1:00 am) A mother and daughter noticed a triangular shaped object with flashing red, blue and yellow lights. The pattern of flashing seemed similar to "Morse code". The object was seen in the southern sky for about 1 hour before it moved away. The object appeared to be below the cloud layer. 10-Nov-98, Vancouver: (10:00 pm) The witness saw an illuminated elliptical object for approximately 2 seconds before it shot upwards out of sight. The sky was clear.
