The account
Researcher Martin Jasek of UFO*BC interviewed more than 30 witnesses and published his report in 1999. Their estimates of its size ranged from hundreds of metres to over a kilometre. Many accounts describe rows of lights rather than a solid outline.
The sceptical view
Size and distance are almost impossible to judge for lights at night; a satellite or rocket re-entry has been suggested, though Jasek argued the timing does not fit.
