I was showing my 14 year old son the Big Dipper in the night sky at the weekend. We were camping in the Sandy Hook area of Manitoba in our RV. It was a cool night and he went back inside. I continued to look at the stars as it was a clear night. Satellites are often seen whizzing by. I looked again towards the Big Dipper and noticed a reddish bright light streak slightly within the bowl area of this constellation. It vanished and reappeared then vanished and reappeared in a different location than it should have if it were on a straight path. The light appeared to zigzag in a 'W' patten then disappeared. No planes were visible and no noise could be heard. The light seemed to be a great distance away. I continued to observe the sky and did not see any further lights from this area or surrounding area. I went inside and looked at the clock to get the time knowing I would report this when able. This encounter was yet another oddity I have seen in the night sky. Thank you.
