Kaitlyn Kostyniuk, who lives about a 10-minute drive north of Rocky Mountain House, Alta., Saw the flash on camera shortly before 9 p.m.
“I was getting ready for bed and my phone reported that there was a movement captured on the front porch camera, which is strange because we are in the middle of nowhere,” he told Global News. “I went to open the video and watch it and I got a nice light show.
“To me at first, it seemed like someone was holding a flashlight right outside my window because the light was so bright and vivid. But then when I re-watched the video several times, I could see that it was just something going through the sky. “
