Ball Of Light Makes 90 Degree Turn – Campbell River – British Columbia

Date: September 3, 2007
Time: 10:00 p.m.

Approach Direction: From the South.
Departure Direction: To the East.
Witness Direction: East.

Color/Shape: Had the appearance of a small ball of light, very dim since it was difficult to make out among the night sky except for the movement.

Height & Speed: Unknown, although we feel it was at a high altitude, over 30,000 feet.

Description: Sitting at the fishing pier in Campbell River facing west we noticed an object that appeared to be a shooting star. The object was traveling in a northerly direction when it might a tight 90 degree turn to the west and traveled over us. It then made a U shaped turn, traveling at about half the speed of when it was first seen, and continued east out of sight. I’ve never seen anything like it, at first thinking that it was a shooting star, then after it turned once possibly a satellite, then after the U-turn knew it was something else.
