Overview
- Residents across British Columbia and parts of Alberta reported a large white shape moving slowly along the horizon.
- Dozens of videos in community Facebook groups corroborated the sighting, with posts from Williams Lake, Prince George and Fort St. John, plus reports from the Nass Valley, Kamloops, Oliver, Vancouver Island and Sherwood Park, Alta.
- Viewers floated explanations that ranged from a stray weather balloon to exhaust from a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched earlier from Vandenberg in California, though none has been verified.
- Michael Unger of Vancouver’s H. R. MacMillan Space Centre said the footage does not look like a meteor or cloud and appears controlled, while stressing that his view is speculative.
- CBC says it will share new details once an official source identifies the object.
