Duration: 5-6 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: North Burnaby (Canada), BC, Canada

Shape: Disk


Observed large golden glowing circular object northbound as from Seattle to Anchorage, on western horizon of Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Always I have been drawn to observe airplanes in the sky. This particularly bright and sunny July or Aug. day, my. eye was drawn to, I thought, a commercial jet reflecting the sun. An unusual glowing made its shape unknown.

As I was driving and at a long red light, I was expecting it to level out then I could see its shape. It was very much a golden glowing circular shape. The traffic light finally turned green. Still, it was the same. Soft edged glow. The color and duration of the glow caused me to pull over.

It was northbound on a common Seattle to Anchorage route. About ten degrees higher in the sky than I would guess a common jet is at. A guesstimate of this object at 45 degrees high.

I watched it go northbound at a level altitude, glowing the entire way, until it was out of sight. Easily four times as fast as a passenger jet. That evening on our local teen radio station, AM 1410 CFUN, they announced receiving reports of a UFO,in the western sky.

I only submit this report to bolster the author, Leslie Keene, in her book, “Of Generals, Pilots and UFO's.” In reading it my jaw dropped as she described this very same observation to me: Large golden glowing objects observed....

The main difference being the time frame as it was 1975 about when I observed and she writes of them in the 1980's. I now realize it was a phenomenal daylight sighting due to its large size, speed and color. Of course only once and never again have I seen anything unusual.
