Went out on a late night walk, went to a hill overlooking downtown to admire the city and (mostly) the super moon. It’s hard to see stars because we’re in the inner city, and only handful standout. There were 3 stars in a triangle formation, and suddenly one broke off. It was moving very fast and flying irrationally moving in all directions, before stabilizing and flying horizontally. It was originally a very bright white and seemed to dim down before all of a sudden it flashed to black and vanished.

March 4, 2021 @ 06:05 Calgary, Alberta, Canada Standing at a bus stop near my residence, which is inner city, I looked up at the morning sky and the moon, then noticed a cylindrical set of lights moving NW to SE. The sky was clear on this morning, as far as I could tell, being able to easily see the moon and stars. At first I suspected the collection of lights to be a plane. It seemed to be moving oddly though, as I thought to myself it seems like it's coming down and even worried for a second that it was on a trajectory with my neighbourhood. In the next moment, I was puzzled at the shape of the object, the angle of it (orientation), and also the luminosity of it, seemingly surrounded with lights. It was then that I first considered I should take some pictures/video, and got my phone out. I am not the fastest draw in the west at taking pictures with my phone, and this was very early in the AM as I waited for my bus to go to work. But I collected 4-5 decent pics and one 40 sec video, plus another very short clip. The object continued on its course SE. It became dimmer as it moved away, and then my bus showed up. The object moved at about the speed of a plane, I would say, certainly not too fast, but a steady pace. The video I shot is shaky because of my trying to line it up and even zoom in; it is not the object dancing around. The object stayed on a fairly even course throughout. I listened for the sound of a plane, and could not be sure I heard it. Living in the city, there is a lot of ambient noise that sounds like a constant hum, especially early in the morning when there are not much car noises on the street. There was just no really obvious jet sounds.

At 11:50 I noticed a small, bright orange glow in the sky hovering motionlessly over the east side of downtown Calgary. It was the shape of a semi circle, and had orange lights that flickered slowly and constantly. It moved slowly and steadily from the east to the west as I watched it for one hour. I unfortunately fell asleep before it left the visible sky and don't know where it ended up. I shot a few videos of the object, but it's hard to discern the shape and flickering on my iphone camera. However, I would be happy to share those videos. Two are taken an hour apart so you can see the distance it went. I'm a 28 year old with a steady job and have never claimed to see a ufo or anything supernatural event in my life. I'm just wondering if anyone else saw what I did and can explain?

At approximately 10:00pm, I spotted a large white light in the sky, it was very bright. I went outside to inspect it further and the light dimmed gradually. Two small red and green lights were visible on either side of this disc when the bright light dimmed. The disc slowly moved across the sky in a straight line, making no noise . It was absolutely a UFO of some kind. It then disappeared.
