Hello Brian, I am an amateur astronomer from Northern British Columbia. I have been watching the skies for many years and know the northern sky very well. I have also studied the UFO phenomenon for many years and have never been convinced that any have been ET in origin.
Do we have large satellites that can change direction, speed or stop? Do we have something bigger than the ISS up there I'm not aware of? The object was much brighter than the ISS or the occasional flare from it.
The second object was bright (est. mag. -6) It was blue in colour (like Vega) with a large orange-red round faint light beside it. I have never seen anything like it before. Any ideas?
Objects flight paths included below. Cheers!

I should update this story. I found out they were LED lights and balloons. There are people launching these from Terrace and surrounding towns more and more frequently. I've since then watched a few balloons and debris caught in thermals, making them twist, turn, stop and change direction. Someone launches them during the riverboat days fireworks every year. I watched closely this time and they are 100% balloons drifting in the wind. I think most sightings are due to more people launching balloons with led lights, Chinese lanterns, or rc craft. Hell... I could make a very convincing UFO for $40-$60.
