I was going to sleep and witnessed a very bright flash lighting up the sky for a second. It was like a lightning strike but completely silent, just light. Observing from 12th floor.

This is a late reporting. I was very interested in the 22 minute NASA video of something outside the space station on February 21, 2020. Since that video was on the web I have heard no information regarding any explanation of what that was. I saw something in the sky in approximately the 3rd last week of October 2019. It would have been either a Friday or Saturday night as I often work till 10pm. At about 1:40 am I was taking out some recycle items to the garage and as I often do, looking up. I usually look for the north star and if visible Orion’s Belt, then maybe look to planets as I live in Markham, Ontario and there is a far bit of light from the city so we do not see a great number of stars often. On this night I saw something I didn’t tell anyone because it looked out of place. It looked like a giant, translucent squid. However (to circle back to the NASA video) I have since found a video on YouTube from July 9, 2010 (china airport) of and ! I am certain the same UFO. I have since looked at that video a few times on a large screen TV and I am positive it was the same thing ( creature, ship, capsule) not sure. The thing that stuck me the most was I remember the thing what I would call “bursting through the air or some part of the air”. I would estimate the height of travel to be about 60,000 feet as it was about twice the height of air travel, direction of travel was southwest to northeast. Last thing it came into view for only a few seconds but when it was directly overhead it seemed to be the most translucent. That is it. I do hope one day we make that contact.
