"My wife and I were picking up the kids from their grandparents' house. I decided that first we would drive into the new development on Thacker Road to see the new houses. It was no more than 10 °C out and we both got out of our car to look at the view (you do that when the kids are at granny's house). We were looking around when we noticed that there was a disturbance on the lake many meters below our vantage point. The whole lake was grey and dead still, a typical depressing Kelowna sock-in. Anyway there were these puffs of condensation that we saw way down on the water. They were very distinct little clouds and under them there was a a fan-shaped disturbance of great size. As these clouds shifted slowly away from the now multiple fan shaped water upsets, we saw a big big line in the water. It was the color initially of the edge of thick glass, that aquatic greenish. It was at least three school buses long and maybe a third wider than a bus. It was moving smoothly and directly towards us. As it approached it turned slowly to our left and began to dive. We know it was diving because it gradually changed colors from the initial green to an ever darkening tone till it finally vanished. The sighting lasted maybe a minute and left my wife and I very excited. The lasting impression we both got is that it was alive, massive and not in a hurry. Whatever caused those clouds of moisture I would bet would have been worth seeing."
