Full Description of Event/Sighting: Last night my friend was driving the two of us back home to Victoria, after taking a trip up to Courtney/Comox for the day.
It was around 9:30 p.m. when we just finished passing the Parksville turn off, heading towards Nanaimo, when we both noticed a really big, bright light, ahead and off to the right and up about 500-600 feet or so.
My first thought was, that it was just air traffic signal, lights on top of a transformer tower, but as we neared closer to it, one could see that it was not sitting on top of anything, but instead hovering in one place, and what looked like it was only only a couple hundred feet above the top of the tree line.
At this time you could see the very bright red, white, and sometimes green lights flashing and staying on. After a few twists and turns on the road, we ended up driving right underneath it and watching it as we passed.
After we passed it, it quickly flew away and to the right, behind us.
We were both amazed at what we just witnessed, and just as equally confused.
It didn't end there. As we kept driving along I noticed that somewhat higher in the sky was another flying object, with similar, erratic colours and flashing light, traveling towards Victoria direction.
There was at the time a pretty big range of view and it was very clear out, so we decided to pull over, get out of the truck and watch this thing.
As it sailed away, it went from being white and red light, to no light, to turning a very, very bright red light. Almost a big ball of red light, it flew into the distant tree lines, and out of view.
We then saw another flying at a lower altitude, then hovering in one place for a while, before flying passed our sights.
It was hard to catch proper shapes, but the first one that we saw, which was definitely at a pretty close range, looked more like a triangle. The others kind of looked like the red, green, and white lights were sometimes flashing around the hole thing as if it were a circular shape.
I'm not to sure concretely of actual shape, but I do know that planes, nor helicopters look like or do what these objects did and looked like, that's for damn sure. Made for a really exciting trip back to Victoria.
I am interested to know if anyone else saw them last night? Thanks for reading.
