Hi Brian, was sitting outside cooling off approximately 21:30 on the evening of August 17, 2012 and within about five minutes I observed a thin yellow line streak across the sky to the south of me, westbound estimated height below 2000 feet, silent and no discernable object making the line.
Approximately five minutes later, it or a similar line went the other way.
Approximately 21:45 a flash of light caught my attention, it was a bright orange orb like a huge ball of fire, it was just over the tree tops to the east of my location in North Surrey and appeared to be over the Langley area.
My first thought was it was a huge landing light, but the wrong colour. It appeared to be motionless for several minutes then appeared to be turning upon its axis and getting smaller and dimmer until it had gone from approximately half the size of the full moon to the size of a golf ball.
It then proceeded to fly in a tight circle for several minutes. I called my wife out to take a look and as usual she figured it was a plane. A plane did fly over about ten minutes later, but it in no way resembled the orange object.
Tonight on the news they showed some red lights filmed over Calgary, Alberta. I was mentioning them to my friend in Richmond and she mentioned that approximately 04:00, 19th. August this morning she woke to go to the washroom and as is her habit scanned the sky for a few minutes.
She stated there was a large orangey/red object hanging low in the air in the direction of Mount Baker, she said it was so bright it resembled the rising sun. She did her business and it was still there, she went back to bed and it was gone when she woke again.
