On June 8th at ~10.45 p.m. PDST from my home in Masset, Haida Gwaii, B.C. I saw a slow moving, bright orange/red, relatively large flying craft in the southeast sky. As we have frequent helicopter traffic in this area at this time of year servicing the sports fishing lodges, I presumed it was a large helicopter.
It looked like about the shape (cigar shaped) and size of a helicopter about 2 Kms. away. As I was just sitting quietly watching it, it was a matter of minutes before I realized I couldn't hear anything.
This puzzled me in that the noise is usually an annoyance and overrides anything like radio noise, talking, music etc.
It was moving horizontally toward our airport quite slowly and so I looked at it through my binoculars. Now it looked like a larger bright orange/red cigar shaped light and there was nothing else was visible.
At the range it appeared to be at, it looked like it might be one of the larger coast guard helicopters, but there was nothing, but the light visible. I still thought it must be a last helicopter coming in from the sports lodges with the last of the day's light, but still no noise.

So I went outside on the back steps and looked at and it was completely silent.
At that range and on a quiet spring night, it should have been annoyingly loud.
Next it angled down to the horizon and disappeared behind the tree line. I honestly expected to hear a crash as it was headed for the ground. That was it, no noise, no crash, complete silence except this large orange/red light that was close and extremely visible that went across the sky and then angled down and disappeared.

I had looked at it for a good two minutes.
Two friends of my daughter saw this too and I know these young ladies and they are down to earth sensible people.

I wonder if anyone else saw this or has any ideas? Let me know if you hear anything,
