Hello, I just read an article in the Kelowna Capital News about some UFO sightings over Okanagan Lake last week.
Saturday night at about 1:30 a.m. (July 7) myself and two of my friends saw a similar "fireball" hovering over some trees that are visible from my back yard. This area is not directly over the lake but more towards Winfield. It pulsed gently from yellow to red several times over about five minutes before fading out, flashing brightly once more and dropping straight down behind the tree line. The only manmade object I might conceive it to be was a helicopter, but I've never seen a helicopter with lights this bright or this large. The pattern of light pulsations was irregular and not characteristic of an aircraft light or spotlight.
I'm wondering if anyone else reported a similar sighting last Saturday night. I haven't been able to find a satisfactory explanation of what we saw. I wish I had a picture I could attach for you but we could not get our camera ready before the object disappeared.
Q. - Could you please tell me roughly how long your were able to observe the object for ?
A. - About five minutes
Q. - Did at anytime, did it make any sudden moments, etc ?
A. - No
Q. - Any sound at all noted ?
A. - No
Q. - Roughly how far away would you estimate the object was from your location ?
A. - Two to three kilometres.
Q. - Were you able to see any aircraft in the area during or following the sighting.
A. - No.
Q. - Lastly, which direction was the object located in ?
A. - To the north-west, near Glenmore Rd north of Cross Rd.
Thank you to the witness for their report.
