I don't usually comment on personal anecdotes but I have some questions that could possibly shed enough light for others to assist in your search for at least a similar experience:
WHERE did this happen? (please provide best estimate of distance from mountain, name of mountain etc.)
This happend in Moricetown BC it's a reservation about 30 minutes away from Smithers BC im not familiar with the mountains in the area because i do not frequently go there it was more or less a one time thing. further more this is BC there's so many mountains around here i can't even specify wich one it was.
Can you narrow down WHEN this occurred? (5 or 6 years ago? How could you forget the exact date you witnessed a potentially extinction level event?)
Well i do know that i lived in Smithers at least 6 years ago and this happend before i moved so it could be around 7 years to narrow it down a little more. The reason why i don't remember exactly is because i didn't jus go write down the date or anything and i don't have a journal that i write in (even though i should start one)
Can you estimate the time it took from the point the object was directly overhead to when it was above the mountain peak? ( this could establish its mph/kph.)
estimating this isn't easy because of the years that went by but if i had to i would say it took around 15 seconds from when i spotted it to when it dissapeared out of sight
How have you arrived at your estimate of its size?
(Compared to your hand at arms length, what is the proportional comparison? Holding a: Tic Tac, dime, golf ball, tennis ball, grape fruit, basket ball, beach ball, larger?)
This is a rough estimation i made i only said a couple football feilds because it was soo big i didn't know how else to describe it but i do know if i had my hand right in front of my face i would still be able to see it around my hand (keep in mind im looking in the sky)
Did the object make any maneuvers or fly in a straight path?
(Aside from its apparent movement slower than free fall, what indicated an agency controlling its progress?)
it more or less flew in a straight path
That's all I can think of for now, thanks in advance and I'm really curious to read your responses![/qoute]
I still don't know how to work these stupid qoutes so my reply are Bolded, sorry that i don't have better answers but remember this is a sighting all esimates are rough and theres no way i could be exact but i estimated as close as i can get
