Mountain Guide Observes Small Light Circling Large Object Over Golden British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  March 29, 2007

Time:  Approximately 6:40 a.m.

Hi Brian, following is the account of a sighting I had near Golden B.C. I am a mountain guide and was working at a ski lodge 40 km. north of the town. I was up early to assist with chores and check the weather to help determine the nature and duration of the days ski trip.

On March 29, 2007 at approximately 6:40 a.m. I went outside to check the sky for cloud cover and visibility. Jupiter was prominent in the sky and one other faint star - the sky otherwise lightly obscured. I also noticed a bright light which I initially thought was a star about 30 degrees above the horizon in the west.

I became puzzled because It could not have been Venus as it was too far from the sun. I looked and wondered what is was for a couple of minutes and then I thought it maybe was moving slowly. Then as I lined it up with the side of the building I determined it was actually moving in an easterly direction. 

As I watched it slowly accelerate and before it had gone more than about 10 degrees a small light of about 1/10th it’s brightness did a perfect circle around it and then disappeared. The radius of the small lights circle was about the width of 5x the wingspan of a high flying jet.

The light then accelerated to a higher speed and proceeded across the sky and disappeared  in the eastern horizon. Just after the small light circled it I went indoors briefly and called out another guide to witness it. Its speed as it went from about 60 degrees west to overhead and then east was faster than a jet airliner.

I am a pilot with 1500 hours of mountain flying and have seen other strange phenomena several times. Two mornings later I saw a similar light in the same location but it stayed at the same location until daybreak obscured it 20 minutes later. There were no further sightings of the light.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
