Date: 2002 and again 2005
Time: Nighttime.
I live at (numbered address removed) Dogwood St., off Rushton Ave overlooking the straits, Parksville Bay, and a view through to the mainland.
During the time frame 2002 and again 2005, during winter night time rain storms, I arose from my sleep to a very, very bright balls of light to the east. Foreboding black storm clouds were present over the straits.
I'm not sure what awoke me, as no thunder was heard.
On one occasion the ball appeared to streak from over the ocean directly at me, through the trees in front, to a hovering position just over the neighbour's garage, some 100 feet away from my second floor viewing position.
It was so bright that the street light went off (daylight) casting my shadow on the floor, all in a 2 second white light blast.
No noise, no vibration, no smoke. I recall the ball appearing to be about 10 feet in diameter. This was about 3 seconds of over the top entertainment.
The second happening was a ball of extremely white hovering light forward of the coastal trees in front of our property and some 500 feet away.
It appeared to be about 50 feet in diameter and then just blew out as bright a flash as conceivable. Disappeared in that instant, and again no sound.
I have since done some casual research and find that these "balls", could be what is referred to as "ball lighting" in ocean waters. Also referred to as "plasma" particles that carry energy released as light.
