What was that in the night sky?
It’s a question being asked by many residents in the B.C. Interior and north after an unusual sighting Tuesday night.
Between 10 and 11 p.m. PT, multiple residents, including this CBC reporter, reported seeing a large, white shape slowly move across the horizon before disappearing from view.
Multiple videos have been posted by residents in community Facebook groups from Williams Lake to Prince George to Fort St. John, over a span of hundreds of kilometres.
Suggestions as to what it might be range from an errant weather balloon to something more out of this world.
CBC News will share more information about the sighting as it becomes available.
Patricia Seymour was one of dozens of people to observe this shape moving across the horizon on the night of May 5, 2026.
