Circular Object over Vernon, BC May10/11UFO Sighting in Vernon ~1715 to ~1800, May 10/11 Object seen ~7 degrees above and to the left of the moon (at First Quarter), slowly moving (imperceptibly) over the following ~3/4 of an hour to a position ~15 degrees above and to the right of the moon. (I have a ruler for this, as I do look at the night sky).At first, saw it with 7 X 26 binoculars while watching planes, birds and the moon. Then it could be spotted by eye, once I knew where it was, as it had lots of brilliance (white, not metallic - much brighter than the moon). It was definitely round. At times the brilliance seemed to change somewhat but that might have been an illusion.I went to get my Celestron SkyMaster 25 X 100 binoculars, and although it was handheld, the view was quite striking.At the time, my wife was in the kitchen, and I went to tell her to come and see - she did see it also, through the 7 X 26 binoculars, after she was told to go “from the moon, then up and slightly yo the left”. She told me that I needed the tripod, and I showed her the 25 X 100 binoc. and the camera which I also had by then.Photo takes with (cheap) camera - Sony (5.1 Megapixels) DSC-P93A, zooming ~12X.Near the end of the sighting, I had again switched to the 7 X 26 binoculars, and suddenly, it got smaller, zigzagged very fast, became a dot (still zigzagging at that point!) and disappeared. I kept looking, as if it was a balloon, the fabric could perhaps be spotted, but I couldn’t see it coming down.Please, if you know what happens when a balloon reached a high altitude and blows up, please let me know.Sorry, a few years ago I saw something and regrettably failed to report, so this time, an effort is being made.I am working on a tripod with screw drive mechanism to go up and down, etc., but it was not yet ready today - otherwise, there would be a fair photo, with the camera through the 25 X 100 binoculars.
