Wife and I were watching the beautiful stars looking north on Lady Evelyn Lake around 10pm. Orb appeared approx 2 km across the lake. It was dim and quickly became brilliant. It was just above the tree line (extremely dense forest). Object rose straight up 15 degrees. Hovered motionless and began to move to the West at a constant rate. It then turned into numerous glowing red lights and the brilliant white light had stopped. The object continued West and vanished.
