Time: Around 6:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.Ok, I don't know what I saw but here it is -
On Wednesday Dec. 8 around 6 or 6:30 PM I was walking my dogs around on my property in the Quenville area of Courtenay, which is near the Comox AFB. I had a flashlight, when all of a sudden the area around me lit up like lightening does before it strikes. I looked up thinking I'd see lightening, but instead, I saw a bluish-green object, not quite a ball shaped thing with a long tail above me heading south along the general area of Quenville road.
It was a few hundred feet above me, but made no sound. The light it made above me lasted for approximately 4-5 seconds then the thing disappeared. I thought it could be fireworks, but then again, there was no sound. Also, it could not have been that high if it could light up my property, and we have about 2.5 acres. Could it have been a meteor? I did call the AFB and talked to Operations. They had no information and had not received other calls (as of that night).
So what do you think it was? Did anyone else report a similar thing on that night? Thanks.
