Hello, last night (April 3, 2012) at approximately 9:00 p.m. driving towards Qualicum I seen a very bright flash of light. The flash was very quick, and appeared to have originated from the ground in town.
While driving through the town of Qualicum I seen the flash again and was able to pin point the origin to what appeared to be over the water near Lasquiti Island.
I ended up parking and sitting at the beach from 9:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
I only seen the flash one more time, I was looking in the general direction and I was blinded it was so bright. While at the beach I observed three lights. They clearly stood out due to their brightness and color.
They would change from blue, red and white at random, as well as their brightness would increase and decrease. Sometimes quite bright, other times not visible.
Two of them appeared to be on land, and one in the sky.
The three lights did not move until roughly 9:45 p.m. when the one in the sky quite rapidly came in the direction I was, stopping at the beach. The light was small, less than the size of an average laser pointer.
Yet it was very bright, it was hard to focus on. Within the minute, it went out back towards Lasquiti, then left out of sight to the west. After this, one of the lights on the land disappeared.
At 10:00 p.m. when I left one of the lights on land was still shinning.
