A bright object can be seen shooting across the sky during a news item about a fire in West Kelowna.
The unexpected anomaly turned up in video footage originally recorded by 36-year-old Sarah Chun before being included in a news report detailing the efforts of firefighters to tackle the wildfire that had spread across Smith Creek.
The UFO appears approximately 37 seconds in to the video and resembles a bright orb-like object which heads towards the right of the frame at considerable speed while leaving what looks like a faint vapour trail behind it.
Despite being posted back in July the video has only recently gone viral and Internet users have since been debating the nature of the object on social networking sites.
MUFON photograph analyst Marc D'Antonio believes that the object could be a meteor.
"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," he said.
Yeah agree with the majority here. Definitely a meteor. It still remains a UFO until some specialist organisation can 100% confirm it, although my 5 year old nephew who can't spell UFO will be able to confirm this is a meteor. And just to repeat something that is posted everyday. UFO does not mean ALIENS!!! Good video.
I also agree that the bright object shooting across the sky at 36 seconds is a day time meteor. Excellent catch... However, I do not believe the dark object below the sky line at 44 seconds is a bird. Not saying it's extraterrestrial! Whatever it is... it's movin!

Nothing to see here except a bad fire and some brave folks fighting it.
I looked again. Now, I think it might just be some particle in the camera, or perhaps a reflection off of something. Look closely at the end of that part of the vid where the thing is in the view finder. What happens? The object shoots UP at about a 70 degree angle and off to the right, very quickly. Looks like some reflection, no real object could change directions that fast, IMO. We'll never know!
I just saw exact same UFO, in an FBI files vid! No kidding, but its easier to see it as a camera flare here. FFWD to 40.45 and watch all the sky shots, you will see your white orb ufo... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgHbpr7qLSg
