Full Description of Event/Sighting: I just came out of the house at about 11:00 p.m. and I noticed a very obvious orange ball shape, like a ball of fire moving across the sky.
It appeared like a ball of fire floating across the sky in that there wasn't a distinct form or outline to it. That is partly what caught my attention.
It was going at about the speed of a plane so I just watched it and it continued at the same speed for a few seconds and then slowed to a stop.
I continued to watch it as it was motionless, it appeared in distance to be just over Departure Bay (in Nanaimo, B.C.) and I was standing about 6 blocks away from the bay.
Once motionless it went from the fairly large ball of fire shape, slowly, maybe taking 5-10 seconds, to a tiny orange dot that appeared (for a few more seconds) like a star in the night sky. Then it was gone, just like that.
I wondered what the significance of this was, as I have never seen something like it before, so I decided to Google bright orange light in the sky over Nanaimo and this website came up.
So I wanted to share my experience. As a result of this experience I am going to take a look at some other posts about orange lights in the sky.
