NUFORC Sighting 18133

Occurred: 2001-06-21 01:30 Local
Reported: 2001-06-21 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: West Vancouver (Canada), BC, Canada

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

dark red trianular shape with a bright white rectanular shape in the middle of underbelly

Through a skylight, early this morning I saw a trianular shaped object fly overhead. I could see the full outline of the object, which made no sound whatsoever. The object appeared to be illuminess of a dark red colour. In the centre of the triangle there was a rectangular shaped object with rounded corners which shone a bright white. The configuration of my skylight is rectangular (4'X2') facing east/west. The object flew in an east to west direction. The object flew very slowly, approximately 5 seconds went by before it flew out of my sight. There were no flashing lights (like an airplane). The size of the object was rather large and it flew not that far off the ground, lower than an jet airplane and a little higher than say a cessna. With an outstretched arm, thumb and index finger touching each other (size of Can $2.00 coin) it would have filled that space.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke at length over the telephone with this witness, and found her to be an exceptionally serious-minded witness. We strongly suspect that her report is quite accurate. Local astronomers in the Victoria and Vancouver area, with whom NUFORC works, did not succeed in photographing the object with their sky cameras. PD
