The following is from the BCUFO website:
Reported 11-Jun-2014 8-May-2014, Victoria, BC: (10:30 pm)
In the month of May 2014 I was standing outside of my apartment in Victoria, BC waiting for a cab at approximately 10:30 PM. During my wait on this clear night I was looking up at the various star clusters. My eyes were drawn to one particular group of stars which were bright enough to see quite well even though they were surrounding the area of the sky where the moon was. After staring at this cluster for about a full minute, one of these ‘Stars’ started to move. This object went from being stationary to moving vertically at a consistent rate of speed and a consistent trajectory for about 3 seconds. After which the object started to weave in a narrow slalom (or snake like) pattern. This went on for about another 3 seconds. During this time the object was dimming and re-illuminating with each swerve but at the same time each re-illumination was getting weaker and weaker until the object disappeared all together.
I have been an aviation enthusiast all my life and my brother was an airline pilot for 40 years so I have a better than the ‘average Joe’ understanding of flight characteristics. What I witnessed does not fit the parameters of any aircraft I am familiar with therefore I deem this sighting to be phenomenal in nature.
I am impressed that he has reason to say he knows what he's looking at. And how flying contraptions (ours) fly - what they can and cannot do. Since his description of watching a constellation and then one star starts to move matches a motif in many of my UFO dreams, it of course creeped me out.

I'm pretty sure it was Cliff who posted that he spotted a veritable 'fleet' one night..many far far away moving objects. I've always wondered about that one..what they were..what they were up to..how far away.

Here's another one - from UFO BC site. I have skipped the lights in the sky reports, going with things that make the hair stand up on my arms:
Reported 10-Dec-2014 August 2014, Helen Mackenzie Lake, Vancouver Island, BC: (11:00 pm)
There was roughly 10 tent pads (all full) at the Helen Mackenzie Lake. I would say roughly 17+ people in total that were there witnessing the event. We were all up there to watch the Meteor Showers up in the alpine. It was a great show going on, lots of comets with long tails. Then, after I would say an hour and a half through the show (11:00 pm-12:00am),we saw what seemed to be a giant white/orange frosted light bulb floating above the tree tops and over the lake. It was moving oddly slow and seemed unreal that it was not dropping out of the sky. It was fairly large, DEAD QUIET, no running lights or strobe lights and moved in a wobbly, narrow zig zag pattern in a straight line. This craft, went right over all our heads and continued out of site. There were many others who witnessed this, and I even still have contact info from the people on the tent pad next to us. It was by far the closest and craziest encounter of an unknown object, I have encountered in my life.
On a side note, from the same area, I have a picture of a CLEAR daylight photo of a craft moving very fast. My friend who took it said he did not see it when he took the picture, but noticed it when he transferred it from his small camera to his computer. If there is anyway I can load a photo to this report, I will gladly post it.
The usual errors of course. The person reporting didn't get many names and contact info. from other campers. Where is the picture? The friend didn't see it when he took the picture of the daylight one?
Anyway - the hike in to Lake Helen McKenzie is significant - a couple of hours - and to go there to hoax a UFO report seems unlikely to me. Orange zig-zagging of course sets off my old UFO PTSD. Although one might see a rescue helicopter searching at night, usually they wait and fly in the morning. And no one was missing or in the news. I'm impressed.

I wonder why he waited so long to report it? That was almost five months ago. Not that there is anything wrong with that or anything. Just seemed kind of strange.

I wonder that too - I would guess 2 things - first it kept niggling at him and second he had to figure out where to post it.
