Mountain biking takes a meteoric turn in Shuswap

Kevin Silverson witnesses burning object falling from the sky

It鈥檚 a bird鈥 it鈥檚 a plane鈥 it鈥檚 a meteor?

Kevin Silverson of Blind Bay got more than the pretty sunset he was expecting Saturday evening, Oct. 28, when he went mountain biking at the South Canoe Trails in Salmon Arm.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., Silverson turned to look at the sky and saw what he originally thought was a plane streaking across. A closer look, however, revealed what he now believes was a meteor, which he was able to snap a few pictures of on his phone.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 what I assume. It was obviously something in the atmosphere,鈥 he said. 鈥淥nce I zoomed in, it was something that was on fire.鈥

Trying to get more information, Silverson shared his experience on Facebook, but found no other comments on the potential meteor or any mention of it having landed in the area.

鈥淚t鈥檚 super weird,鈥 he stated. 鈥淚t鈥檚 even weirder now that no one else saw it.鈥
