No, not an alien, but simply an object in the sky that I could not recognize.
I was on vacation for just over a week, and got back home yesterday. Tonight two friends and I went to the local provincial park, 20 minutes north. We left [ETA: for home] around 10:30, and on the way back I saw something in the sky.
Here is a diagram, but if you can't see it, I'll type out what it says.
First object had one blue and one red light, with a white light in the middle that flashed every second or so. It was about the size of a pencil's eraser held at arm's length. It traveled a bit faster than a regular airplane. After a few seconds, it sent out a spotlight. My friend said it was an airplane looking for forest fires. I think it was traveling from west to east. As it passed overhead, it had two white lights at the nose and the tail, resembling a diamond.
What I didn't add to the diagram is the blue light was on the left and the red light was on the right. Only one friend (the passenger sitting in front of me) saw it. I don't think it was a plane searching for forest fires, as we live where there are no forests, and to my knowledge, there are no forest fires currently around here. I don't know why a plane would look for forest fires at night, although I imagine (from an airplane) you would be able to see the glow from the flames. We saw the object sometime between 10:30 and 10:40 PM. When I said "resembling a diamond" I meant all four lights were in a diamond formation. I didn't see any craft [ETA: shape], just the lights and spotlight.
A few minutes after that, the same friend and I saw a light moving in a somewhat erratic pattern. This light was dimmer than a regular star and was moving in sort of a wavy line. It moved from west to east. It blinked every few seconds, so it could have been an airplane traveling in a straight line, and our eyes could've been playing tricks, making it look like it was moving erratically.
And a few minutes after that, I saw two separate lights in the western sky that moved for a few seconds and disappeared, possibly behind a cloud [ETA: even though I didn't see any clouds after the sun set].
When I got home I told my dad if he had ever seen an airplane with a spotlight, flying in the night. He said he hadn't.
These could very well be all airplanes, but I would like to hear what you guys think. The skeptic in me is saying they are just regular airplanes.
If you read this far, I congratulate you.
I am also long overdue with kitty pictures, so I should put some up tomorrow.
