SomethingB次元官网网址檚 flying in the air over the Camosun and Jubilee neighbourhoods of Saanich and Victoria and itB次元官网网址檚 got Mike Allan thinking differently about whatB次元官网网址檚 in our sky.
Allan lives with his family on Haultain Street, a few doors in from Richmond Road. He was a skeptic about anything that had to do with the phrase B次元官网网址榰nidentified flying objectB次元官网网址�, until he became witness to some strange events when he arrived about five years ago.
(One of the only instances of footage that Allan has.)
Since then heB次元官网网址檚 witnessed the strange occurrence of light, kind of like a star, that moves around the sky in abnormal ways, often hovering.
Other UFOB次元官网网址檚 have been recently reported in Duncan and Sooke.

In this case, the light mostly runs northwest to southeast, loosely mimicking the path of a satellite, Allan said.
B次元官网网址淪ometimes thereB次元官网网址檚 two at satellite altitude but then they criss-cross and satellites donB次元官网网址檛 do that.B次元官网网址�
Usually the light is the size of a star but much brighter. Its movement is unlike any plane, drone or satellite, Allan said. They appear below cloud levels and as high as the satellites.
B次元官网网址淲hen I tell people they look at me like IB次元官网网址檓 crazy, and granted I would think they were crazy too but itB次元官网网址檚 happening,B次元官网网址� Allan said. B次元官网网址淢y neighbours are totally skeptical until they see it, now thereB次元官网网址檚 a few of us whoB次元官网网址檝e seen this.B次元官网网址�
Unsure exactly what it is, he refers to it as B次元官网网址渢he bright thing in the sky.B次元官网网址� His daughter calls it B次元官网网址渢he UFO-thingy,B次元官网网址� he laughed.
B次元官网网址淲hen we moved to Haultain we had a tenant that was full on into UFOs, and I was like yeah right, thereB次元官网网址檚 no such thing,B次元官网网址� Allan said. B次元官网网址淣ow whenever IB次元官网网址檓 out at night IB次元官网网址檓 looking up, looking for one, and then itB次元官网网址檚 a matter of getting someone whoB次元官网网址檚 closest to you to see it too.B次元官网网址�
AllanB次元官网网址檚 neighbour, Darrel, is among those whose since come to recognize the odd incidents of lights.
B次元官网网址淚t defies physics, whatever it is, these arenB次元官网网址檛 drones,B次元官网网址� Darrel said. B次元官网网址淢aybe itB次元官网网址檚 military or something.B次元官网网址�
They are too bright for their size to go without a motor, Allan said.
B次元官网网址淭o have that amount of light youB次元官网网址檇 need a powerful motor, you think youB次元官网网址檇 hear it.B次元官网网址�
The light isnB次元官网网址檛 always the same. They can be seen during the day and at night.
B次元官网网址淟ast week it was low, it was not a satellite,B次元官网网址� Allan said. B次元官网网址淸Satellites] donB次元官网网址檛 bob through the air. ItB次元官网网址檚 something kind of like turbulence, with no flashing beacons, moving faster than planes do across the sky.B次元官网网址�

Ben Dorman, a longtime volunteer with the Victoria chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, and has spent a lifetime looking up at the Saanich sky with his naked eye and through telescopes. He coudnB次元官网网址檛 speak to anything within the atmosphere and said there arenB次元官网网址檛 any similar optical illusions in the sky similar to this that he knows of.
B次元官网网址淭he only bright things which move through the sky are above the atmosphere and theyB次元官网网址檇 be a streak,B次元官网网址� Dorman said. B次元官网网址淪omething in orbit is not going to dance around.B次元官网网址�
So what is it?
As conspiracies go, anything is possible, Allan says.
B次元官网网址淏y the definition of UFO, yes, itB次元官网网址檚 an unidentified flying object. EveryoneB次元官网网址檚 skeptical until they see it. What can I say, you gotta keep looking at the sky, theyB次元官网网址檙e there.B次元官网网址�
