Sooke resident Ann Talbot was on her balcony around 10:30 p.m. last Friday when she saw something strange B次元官网网址� a bright light streak over the treetops near the Sooke Basin, hovering in the sky about 100 metres from her home.

B次元官网网址淚 thought it was someoneB次元官网网址檚 drone, but couldnB次元官网网址檛 see anyone around,B次元官网网址� Talbot said.

As she watched the strange and perfectly round object, she noticed it was engulfed in a bright pinkish/red light and around one to two metres in size.

B次元官网网址淚t didnB次元官网网址檛 have any trail behind it, and it was hard to figure out its size, but it was bigger than a drone,B次元官网网址� Talbot said.

The UFO moved across the Sooke Basin, before going across the basin towards Coopers Cove. Trying to keep up with it, Talbot ran to her kitchen, which was on the other side of her townhouse, facing Jenkins Marine.

B次元官网网址淚t couldnB次元官网网址檛 of taken more than 15 seconds to go around and across the basin,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淲hen it went down on the other side, I was yelling to my husband downstairs, B次元官网网址楥ome quick!B次元官网网址� and it just disappeared over the eastside.B次元官网网址�

Talbot heard no engine noise, or noise of any kind coming from the object, even when it seemingly zipped across the other side of the basin.

B次元官网网址淚 just donB次元官网网址檛 know what it could be, it was interesting. I didnB次元官网网址檛 think it was a meteorite, because it would of had a trail. I couldnB次元官网网址檛 hear a thing, no buzzing, no whooshing sound, nothing.B次元官网网址�

ThereB次元官网网址檚 no drone, of military or civilian spec, that can move at such speed.

No strange weather phenomenon was present either, as the skies over Sooke on Friday night were clear.

As it turns out, UFO sightings are not that uncommon.

Based on a 2016 produced by Winnipeg-based , there were 1,131 sightings of unidentified flying objects reported across Canada B次元官网网址� six in B.C.

B次元官网网址淥ver the years IB次元官网网址檝e been receiving sightings reports from people, and thereB次元官网网址檚 no consistency or patterns to the sightings, sometimes thereB次元官网网址檚 a lot, sometimes it just trickles through for a while. It seems to be sporadic,B次元官网网址� said Randolf Richardson, who runs the Vancouver-based website, as a fun project.

Richardson receives emails and stories concerning UFOs from people around the world, with varying depth and extremity. Still, he welcomes it all, hoping to someday provide a wide collection of UFO accounts and letting the public decide whatB次元官网网址檚 real and what isnB次元官网网址檛.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 a skeptic myself, so I donB次元官网网址檛 always believe the conclusions that people draw. I do believe people are seeing many things, and I love the idea of us not being alone in the universe.B次元官网网址�

Some people have approached Richardson with some extreme stories, such as a craft landing in their yard and abducting them, to others seeing strange craft like Talbot, only to see them disappear or take off with impossible speed.

B次元官网网址淎 lot of them geniunely believe what theyB次元官网网址檙e seeing. A personB次元官网网址檚 memory can change, but IB次元官网网址檇 say for the most part, itB次元官网网址檚 pretty accurate,B次元官网网址� Richardson said.

One thingB次元官网网址檚 certain, whatever the object may have been, it wasnB次元官网网址檛 military, said Greg Menzies, a media spokesperson at .

B次元官网网址淲e have no drones flying around, and we donB次元官网网址檛 participate in exercises in the Sooke Basin.B次元官网网址�

Regardless, Talbot hopes someone else in Sooke or surrounding area saw the UFO and would be willing to talk about it.

B次元官网网址淚t was very interesting,B次元官网网址� she said.
