“I thought it was a comet,” said a Victoria cabbie. “I’ve never seen anything that big in the sky.”
Vancouver Island was among the areas in southern B.C. and the Pacific Northwest that generated reports of a bright light in the sky about 8:15 p.m. Saturday.
It flashed through the darkness only briefly before it was gone, said a Victoria cab driver, who didn’t want his name used.
“I thought it was a comet,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything that big in the sky.”
The American Meteor Society website recorded 115 “fireball” reports from B.C., Oregon and Washington around the same time. One report from the Malahat called the sighting “the most stunning event I have ever seen.”
