I approached my balcony , opened the door and a softball size translucent sphere or orb zig zagged and came right at my balcony window 5 feet from me and disappeared in front of me, it was very dim. i immediately grabbed my smu, or skywatchers mobile unit and set up my cameras and pointed west and noticed a what i thought was a plane but was unusual looking above my condo, very same normal traffic lane for planes on the way to yvr, but it strobed consistently bright blue, configuration was unusual so i began to film and within a min or two a small lighted object which i've seen many times over the years, likely orb entered the frame from the nw zig zagging and decended just above tree tops, actually above granville street bridge. , using a colour night vision, the object was yellow orange, it hovered for a few seconds and then ascended and hovered for another couple to three seconds and began to travel same area it entered the city but it then "shot" something towards the ground on an angle. i've seen this occur in 3 separate times from star like objects back in 2013-2014. later there were more blinking lights and large spherical bright lights in the area not on any flight plan i'm familiar with and not on flight aware. activity reminded me of very busy times in vancouver back in 2012, no doubt it was a uap since i have filmed them before in the past.
