the report came from keremeos
the view keremeos to fairview road is limiting
you only see a portion of faiview road on google earth in terrain mode.
the other half of fairview road is not visible..only assuming that the viewer is
very much aware of their territory. The 3A is not visible over the mountain as the mountain obstructs any air traffic that could be in the area.
the viewer would have limited area to sight an object falling with smoke from the sky over that area.
the only other explanation would be further east than sighted...over hwy 97 and east from there.
FAIRVIEW ROAD IS OVER THE SECOND RIDGE.

i have to go out for a saturday breakfast with my hubby. be back later. take care.
