Saw strange aircraft in sky...what is it?!

Hey all of you into aircraft! I saw this, this summer and my family
would like to know what it is. It was in the sky above Victoria BC,
on Vancouver Island. Clues? Thanks

Agreed. Here's a shot similar to the original angle:

from the small wing strakes and the small winglets, it is most likely
a very ez.

Yep. I don't know if you discovered this info, but they are very fast on a
small amount of HP, and get very good MPG, if you are counting! <g>

One of the few problems, is the fact that they need a pretty looong runway,
and it helps a whole lot if it is paved, too.

Oh, and the propeller and wing are on the wrong end, too! <g>
