July 2 2010 11:50PMFor the Canada Day long weekend my family of four and nephew went camping a few km west of Kennedy Lake (about 40 4m east of Tofino BC) . Years ago my wife and I had spotted a UFO at Kennedy Lake while joking about one shining a flashlight into the sky. So since we were back in the same area we figure it would be fun try it again. So on the first clear night (2nd of July) once it became dark we started playing around with the red laser pointer and led Mag flashlight. Writing things in the sky and blinking them on and off etc. At 11:50pm directly over head we saw two bright white lights appear one traveling South to north the other traveling West to East. They quickly crossed paths then the UFO traveling North either disappears or traveled out of sight behind the tree cover. I could not tell for sure which. The opening in the trees above our heads was small so it was not in view for more than a a second or two. The the object traveling West to East we watched travel straight until it was out of sight in the distance (total time was about 2min 10 sec). It may have slowed down further away but it was difficult to tell. My wife did try and take a video of it with our camera but unfortunately it is not a very good camera for such things and the video looks like a star...nothing like we saw in person. Another interesting note is that after the UFO passed over, my wife went to check the time on her cellphone which was off since there is to cell service where we were camped. She took it out of the purse and it was on and had service. The phone was definitely off previously and it can not be accidentally turned on. She turned it off then back on and there was no service again. Very strange.Here are my very rough estimates of the UFO:Approximate Altitude 1000'Approximate speed 1800km/h I may be overestimating. No sound emitted at anytime.No smoke or contrail.It was a very bright pure white light. Which seemed a bit dimmer in the center.I do not think it was perfectly rounds but close.If I held a 1 1/4��� diameter object at arms length that would be about the size of the objects directly over head. At 1000' alt I believe that would work out to roughly 500' in dia. These numbers could be off by a fair bit since it is very hard to estimate the size and distance of an object that I do not know what it is.I am 100% certain this was not a meteorite, satellite, known aircraft...or weather balloon.Since I am not sure what the International Space Station looks like from Earth I thought I would look it out.NASA's website states that the International space station passed over Port Alberni (100 km east of our position) on Fri Jul 02 11:40 PM for a duration of 4 minutesMax elevation 71deg APPROACH 16 above WNW DEPARTURE 20 above EWhat you'll see:Assuming the station is in sunlight, it should appear as a bright and fast moving star. The longest the station will remain in view to a ground based observer is 4 minutes. When passing directly overhead, the station zips from horizon to horizon is 240 seconds or less. For most locations, the viewing window will be 120 seconds (or less).The time is close but the Space Station definitely is not what we seen either.
