Full Description of Event/Sighting: Myself, my fiancé, her sister and boyfriend were all camping in Beaverdell (near Kelowna) B.C. We were all sitting around the campfire watching the stars as it was nice to be out where you can actually see the true night sky. We had been tracking constellations, watching satellites and enjoying the view. Around 10:30pm that night we all snapped our view to a new item in the sky.
Coming from the west was a very bright and pronounced light, moving quite fast. It was larger and brighter than any star by far and as it neared, we saw a much smaller light trailing it. The trailing light appeared purple or red depending which of us you asked, but it travelled directly behind the larger one at the same speed. At one point, they crossed paths with a plane and seemed closer than the plane.
The larger light dwarfed the plane for size and brightness and they made the plane look like it was standing still. It took a couple of minutes to watch them from one side of the sky to the other before disappearing over a mountain. The kicker is, the next day at the neighbours barbeque, we were talking to this guy and he flat out asked us if we had seen that thing in the sky the night before. Apparently he and a friend saw it too, and their description was identical to ours.
