Large bright blue fireball on an accending trajectory
15-July-97 Prince George, B.C.
Time: 1:05 am EST. Conditions: Clear sky, slightly chilly (13 degrees C).
I glanced up into the Eastern Sky and noticed an object moving from South to North on an incline of about 40 degrees at a rapid speed, I could not hear any sound. It was about 30 degrees above the horizon when I first saw it, and at about 70 - 80 degrees when I lost track of it.
It was about 3-5 times brighter than the planet Venus (also visible at the time) and deep blue (almost purple) in colour. It was bright for about 3 seconds, then went dim (almost to a pin point) for another 5-7 seconds before I lost track of it.
I could not tell if the object became dim from a loss of size/mass or increased distance. The entire time I observed the object it was accending on a straight trajectory.
If this report seems overly detailed, it is because I am sending a copy of a report I filed with ufobc (www.ufobc.ca) the day that this event happened.
