On July 17, 2014, local news reporters covering a
wildfire inadvertently got more than they were looking for. Thirty-seven
seconds into their news report they show a clip of a water tanker dropping fire
retardant, and above the mountain an object can be seen shooting out of the
clouds across the sky. The video changes to another clip before the object can
be seen leaving the field of view of the camera.
The original news report can be seen below. An
enhanced version of the UFO can be seen above.
The video was captured by the website Castanet.net, a news site that covers Western Canada. They recently posted an article about the attention the UFO is getting in their video. In it they say the original witness reported:
Shot out from the clouds above the mountain during a
forest fire near our nieghbourhood. It pulled a wisp of cloud with it as it
exited.
A forest fire broke out on the mountain behind us and
during the attempt to put it out, this event took place.
I was watching a video online of the fire from a
little earlier in the day and i spotted the UFO 37 seconds into the video. I
have no idea whether anyone else has noticed this or not. Most folks would be
focused on the fire.
37 seconds into the video the UFO comes shooting out
from a cloud right above the mountain and passes through a clear spot back into
the next cloud. I was quite startled and surprised when i saw it.
The UFO left a thin trail of cloud vaper as it exited
the cloud. This, to me, eliminates any thought that this might be a camera lens
artifact or light phenomenon effect.
The event lasted only a couple seconds. Judging by the
distance i was from the object it had to have been moving very fast. The scene
cuts away while the UFO is still visible. I’m left to assume that there must be
more footage of it than i saw (sic).
I phoned the website’s news department to ask if it
would be possible to see the full footage, but was met with disapproval. In
retrospect, perhaps i shouldn’t have mentioned the word UFO. (lol)
The fire was near West Kelowna, about 225 miles
northeast of Vancouver. Castanet News did not any offer any
suggestions as to what it was they caught on video. However, people have
suggested that it could be a bolide. A bolide is another term for a bright
fireball or meteor.

Whatever it is, the imagery is incredible. The object
clearly passes through the clouds and leaves a trail as it punches through the
clouds. It is moving quick and horizontally. It doesn’t appear to maneuver,
making it more difficult to rule out a bolide. However, it is very bright and
large. We have found no reports of a meteorite landing in the area. Although,
it is a remote area.
We have sent the video out to be reviewed by experts
and will provide updates as we get them.
