On Tuesday, my family saw a glowing red orb (?) in the sky. I personally didn't see it, so I thought they were just mistaking it for something else.
Tonight, however, I was looking out my window and saw something odd. There were three glowing lights, they almost looked like they were on fire, in the sky. At first I thought they were helicopters due to the fact that beside/behind the glowing light, was a smaller, hard to see light.
Almost like the light that's on the tail of a helicopter. But these made no noise, and seemed to be over a well populated area of Coquitlam. One was hovering still, doing nothing. Another was going no discernable direction, it kept turning and whatnot.
The other seemed to be going in a straight line, headed in our direction. They weren't that high in the sky because it's cloudy outside, and nothing was obstructing our view. The one that was hovering completely vanished within a few minutes.
The second one faded out of sight, it seemed to go up higher until we couldn't see it anymore. The third continued on it's course for many minutes until is the trees in our backyard obstructed our view.
I have no idea what they were. I'm a very logical person, and anything I think they could have been, don't fit.
If it were a flair, they wouldn't have lasted so long in the sky, and they wouldn't have been in the sky at the same time. If it was some light source floating in the air, they would have all gone the same way due to wind.
They couldn't be helicopters because they made no noise. It couldn't have been a remote controlled flying machine because two just simply disappeared.
Also, this part isn't that important, but when trying to photograph them, they didn't show up in the pictures.
Take of this what you will. Hopefully someone will come up with a logical answer that fits, but for now I'm just baffled.
