Terry Young had photos on the news - something that hovered in the sky (bright) and then darted away. Turns out someone in Port Alice (further north) had an experience in 2006 with a similar sighting.
News was not smurky about this.
Couldn't pull up an article. He says his wife says he's now obsessed. He says, but she didn't see it, I did!
More perhaps later.
PS. Campbell River is 47 klicks from where I'm typing right now.

My husband (practical electrician) said that if he wanted to get people going about UFO's he would fly a box kite at night with LED lights on it. Interesting idea. (He isn't motivated to go to the trouble and, as he said practically, "I don't know HOW to fly a kite."

They actually make LED kites that have little electric motors on them so they can maneuver around. I've seen them flying and they definitely could easily be mistaken for a UFO if the person seeing them wasn't familiar with them. I'll see if I can find more info on the BC sightings that you mentioned when I have more time to look them up.

UFO BC is a good site - lots of reports for July. Mr. Young doesn't seem to have posted anywhere UFO wise - he is not a seeker - just a guy who was looking up late one night.
Late breaking details (day 2 on news). UBC said, whatever it was it was bright and out of focus. They suggested that it was a planet or a meteorite - or maybe a plane landing. If he was south of Campbell River, that puts him near a small airfield. If North, there are no planes landing except float planes at fishing camps (probably not in the dark) or planes running dope (probably in the dark).
Someone else (not identified an an expert) said it was light reflecting off the solar panels of the space station, which orbits by twice a night.
