Three US Air Force personnel in British Columbia, Canada, observed a white, blinking light with a bluish tint. Initially, it appeared to them like a falling star. But instead of passing by and disappearing, the light descended and then stopped in mid-air.
They reported the light to the Air Force. Their description details a light that changed direction several times, then moved away until it vanished from their sight. This wasn't just a point of light passing across the sky: according to the report, it stopped, ascended again, and only then continued on its way.
The Descent That Became a Stop
The light was described as round, white, and blinking, with a bluish tint. At first, it reminded the observers of a falling star, but the movement they described didn't end in a fall. They estimated the light descended to an altitude of about 46 meters (150 feet) and remained stationary for about half a minute.
This altitude wasn't measured independently; it appears in the report as an estimate by the observers. Even without repeating every technical detail, the description is simple: the light descended, stopped, and didn't immediately disappear. Afterward, it changed its movement again.
It Ascended and Vanished Westward
From where it stopped, the light ascended straight up to an estimated altitude of about 90 meters (300 feet). It remained there for about ten seconds. Afterward, it moved westward, continuing to ascend as it moved away.
The three crew members watched it recede until it went out of their sight. The description ends not with an explosion or a landing, but with a light that continued to ascend and disappear. The report details this movement but does not specify what happened afterward.
What Remains Unknown
The report does not explain what the light was, nor does it offer a conventional explanation. It documents what the three Air Force personnel said they saw but does not describe any further investigation aimed at identifying it. The altitudes and movements remain estimates by the observers, not independently verified measurements.
The light continued to ascend westward until it disappeared from sight.
