Ok smarty pants then why was it seen at 9? an hour AFTER the conservatory had closed
why are there multiple pic's and witnesse's of something clearly floating and moving about?
Why would they run the story in Vancouver's main newspaper? i'm not a big supporter of this crap and honestly I could care less.
could it have been an rc airplane sure, but something was airborne and it wasn't the conservatory

"What's that in the distance? Oh, let me zoom in directly on it in case it's a UFO. Yep, that's an alien ship alright. Ok, now that that's settled, let's film these dudes to my right and forget all about it."
Whatever.

The "UFO" is now explained as an IFO. It was a publicity ploy by the HR MacMillan Planetarium. See this linked story:

I'm still not quite sure how they projected the image above the baseball stadium. Was it on a screen in the parking lot of Queen Elizabeth Park or something?
EDIT: Upon re-reading it, it was just fake viral videos that were released, and there was no actual projection, although they're promoting the projection system in the press releases.

The sighting was very well witnessed as it occurred over the heads of players and spectators at an evening baseball game between the Vancouver Mounties and the Portland Beavers from the USA. The players took to their heels and the 660 spectators, catching the panic, in the words of the Vancouver Sun Sports for May 29 "churned towards the exits, half of them stopping only when they were outside the stadium."
The Vancouver Sun for May 29 carried the following account: "The fireball lit the Vancouver sky between 10:40 and 10:45 PM. It was seen in Lewiston, Idaho, for about the same length of time, commencing at 10:50 PM. Peter Ivans, 24, suffered a sprained ankle as fans headed for the exits. Downtown traffic slowed to a crawl as motorists craned their necks to see the object. An excited policeman radioed headquarters that an airliner was burning in the sky. Witnesses said it was blue, red, gold and all the colors of the rainbow. They jammed switchboards at police stations, newspaper offices, radio stations and military establishments with excited queries."
