Description of Area / Surroundings

urban. no military bases, no power plants. Don't know why they were here. I have been reading a bit since seeing them and tonight I found something on the web by a person who lives in Gibsons, B.C. and saw orange orbs flying into Georgia Straight. They didn't look like they came to Burnaby on business. They looked like they were having fun. Just my impression.

Full Description & Details

I was feeling extremely harmonized one night and went out to sit on the porch. As soon as I sat down I saw two objects dancing out of the sky in the Southeast. I say dancing because they seemed to pour out quickly like water from a jug and then make an S shape tight winding motion together. Then they criss crossed and separated. When they separated they started moving slowly. One was occulted by two large trees but I could see it from time to time in between the trees. At this point they were just lights moving in the sky. However, the fact that they were like lights I thought strange in retrospect because I could see a plane and a helicopter flying around that did not look like lights. The one that was not occulted moved north a short distance. It moved very slowly then it stopped dead. The odd thing was that I had just been thinking "if it is a UFO it will stop dead". Then it did. It sat there for a while and then it began to expand into a glowing orange orb. It remained that way for perhaps 5 - 10 seconds maybe a little more. I find it hard to estimate because I was so awestruck. Then it went back to its normal size and went behind the tree. After about a minute or two it came out again and repeated the same process exactly. Then it went back behind the tree and I didn't see it again. Someone suggested I should look out the next night as well. I thought that was a bit ludicrous to think it would come back but when I went out, just as I sat down, I saw it again. It came out from behind the tree exactly as before, moved in a line across the sky, stopped dead, sat there for a minute and then expanded. This time it made the shape of a UFO. I thought it was amusing. It just seemed so unbelievable. Then it went back to its normal size and I didn't see it again except I may have seen it the following night as only a speck of light in the sky going southeast (from whence it came). I have to say this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I did not believe it was a UFO at first. I thought it might be a manifestation of my state of being as I was feeling very harmonized at the time having just read a very nice letter from a brilliant friend. Also, since the object had stopped when I thought it was going to stop and came out both times just at the point of my sitting down I thought it must be an unusual spiritual experience. However, I did, after that, attempt to find out what it might have been. Someone suggested ball lightening. I don't think it was. It was a lovely warm clear evening after a sunny day. No one else had any useful suggestions. I searched "orange orbs" on the internet and found the Phoenix lights web site. The second day I saw it, the object when expanded looked very much like one of the pictures on that site. Its pure speculation but I believe these flying craft are not foreign to our land. I think they live here. I just felt that about them.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

My mother, father and brother saw three UFOs before I was born. That's all I know. I have read some newpaper articles about them, seen T.V. shows. I didn't see anything about orange expanding orbs though. I have always thought UFOs are intriguing. But I think the UFO I saw was wonderful. It was a happy experience.

Other Comments

I do get a feeling of connection to it. Is that normal?
