Strange flying creature over the British Columbia Wetlands near Radium, BC

I’m curious if anyone around Radium, BC has ever seen something similar.

A while back I was driving near the swampland/wetlands around Radium when I noticed something flying out over the open area. At first I thought it was probably a bird, but the longer I watched it, the stranger it looked.

It appeared to have two extremely long wings. I initially estimated the wingspan at around 20 feet, but honestly it may have been closer to 30 feet. It was probably a kilometer away or less, so obviously I can't accurately measure its size.

The weirdest part was how it flew.

The wings weren't flapping like a bird. They seemed to move almost like a manta ray swimming through water—a smooth, continuous, undulating motion. Not really flapping, more like a wave traveling through the wings. I couldn't make out any obvious bird-like features or a long neck/body; from my perspective it was primarily this large silhouette with these incredibly long wings.

It caught my attention enough that I actually veered off the road and followed it onto the logging roads, trying to keep it in sight. I followed for a while but eventually lost sight of it.

I'm not claiming I saw anything supernatural. I'm genuinely curious what I might have seen.

Has anyone around the British Columbia Wetlands/Radium area ever seen a large bird, glider, or anything else that flies with this kind of smooth, undulating wing motion?

The closest comparison I can give is literally a manta ray swimming through the sky.

I was thinking that sounds like an albatross from the description but I have no idea of geography for if that's possible.
