A video of a forest fire outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, seems to have unintentionally captured a lot more than firefighting efforts on July 17, 2014, Huffington Post reported. In a video posted by Castanet.net, a news organization in Western Canada, UFO's are believed to have been filmed while efforts were being made to stop the Smith Creek Wildfire in West Kelowna, northeast of Vancouver.
"In the news piece, a bright object appears from behind clouds above the fire area quickly moving left to right," according to Castanet.net. The news site revealed the following description from a witness who noticed the unusual aerial object in the video, "I was watching a video online of the fire from a little earlier in the day and I spotted the UFO 37 seconds in. I have no idea whether anyone else has noticed this or not. Most folks would be focused on the fire. 37 seconds into the video the UFO comes shooting out from a cloud right above the mountain and passes through a clear spot back into the next cloud. I was quite startled and surprised when I saw it."
Although there have been no official explanations about the sightings of UFO in the filmed video, OpenMinds.TV asked Marc Dantonio, chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network, aka MUFON, to look at the video. He suggests the object could have been a bolide, a type of very bright meteor that streaks through Earth's atmosphere.
"I am convinced that this was a really good find," Dantonio told Open Minds. "It is an Earth-grazer, a meteor that approaches the atmosphere at a shallow angle, and continues on, skipping off the atmosphere back into space. Some of them will slow down enough to become trapped and fall to Earth but they many times just skip on off and keep going."
"This one does indeed show a vapor trail as it moves through, it does come out from behind the cloud, and it moves at a speed completely consistent with Earth-grazers," he added.
Meanwhile, another interesting tidbit about the Canadian news video was observed by YouTube commenter Joe Edwards in the same video footage, according to Huffington Post."Did anyone notice the very next scene, it seems something dark and very fast flew from right to left across the screen, that was just as interesting," Edwards wrote. "It occurs at about the 32-second mark."
"This object moves from the far right of the image to the far left, literally, at the blink of an eye. At first, one might assume it's probably just an insect streaking by the camera. But, depending on how you look at it, it appears to slip behind trees and a telephone pole."
Here's the original Castanet.net video report, showing the UFO at approximately 26 seconds.
