1. I had just gone to bed and as I lay my head on the pillow observed what I thought was a very bright star.2. I noticed the object because of it's brightness3. I thought it was a star4. It would hover and then dart (like a hummingbird) sideways, stop then fly up with incredible speed before darting down, stopping and then moving another direction.5. I got my binoculars and was surprised to see it had what appeared to be an appendage (tube) hanging from the bottom of the glowing ball with another much smaller ball attached to the bottom of the tube. Having worked for Air Canada in many airports around North America, I am very familiar with all types of aircraft. This was not an aircraft of any type known. My bedroom has a large floor to ceiling window next to my bed that looks right out onto Malaspina Channel (Salish Sea) and I was very fascinated that an object with such a strange configuration would move so fast and change directions (literally) in a blink of an eye. After approximately 45 minutes I had to go to bed, but as I lay down it was still "hovering" and darting in the sky towards Texada Island.
