My partner and I were walking back from the tim hortons on Wentworth we made it to our parking lot when i had a sudden urg to look up, directly above my partner and I was an object hovering silently with an extremely bright light, we immediately knew something was up, it wasn't moving and had no red indicator lights on it at all. it wasn't a helicopter or plane, and it was too low to be a satellite (I see them all the time) it started moving West northwest slowly accelerating. it made a sudden lateral move to the right then continued on straight, my partner pulled out his phone to record and it immediately disappeared. it reemerged about a mile away almost instantly then disappeared again. we got that part on recording, we zoomed into the video to get a better look and our stomach sank it was something we had only seen on tv. shortly after it was no longer in sight we saw 2 planes a short distance apart trailing its path. we have the phone recording and zoom! ed in images if anyone wants to see them.

A friend and I were driving on a residential street 500m or so from my home when we saw a craft fly just in front of my car. The craft's shape was difficult to see clearly, but it was slowly pulsating orange light. It appeared low to the ground, (maybe 100 to 200 meters off the ground) and seemed to be small in size, perhaps only a few meters in circumference. Initially I thought it was a drone because of it's size, elevation and it was only moving 40-60km per h I would estimate. We took a few pictures and followed it for about 20 seconds before the lights dimmed out and we could not see it any more, it may have disappeared or just turned off it's lights. Also, there was no sound. I have looked on youtube for night helicopter videos and I cannot find anything that looks even remotely close to what we saw.

Strange red lights in a triangle formation over lake Ontario. Fairly large in size. Was gone before we could get turned around and observe closer. Didn't appear to be moving from what I could tell.

On Friday, May 1,2020 I went outside onto my deck at dusk After some minutes at around 9:10 pm Witnessed a small moving light- like a star light moving from the west to east It came towards my position and then faded out within seconds [ 10 - 15 seconds] Then ten minutes later , witnessed another brighter one to the west Much closer - quarter mile away ? This one's direction was from south to north directly west where I sat The brightness reduced dramatically after 5- 8 seconds , then faded out gone ! Then again at 9:35 pm witnessed a third one Resembling again like the first two like a starlight - whitish blue This one came from the northwest heading overhead southeast - faded out Then about 9:55 pm Again I witnessed another one heading the direction of last one witnessed Then after 20- 30 seconds witnessed another one - same direction Then another one following the first two counting them now to three They just kept coming [ 4,5,6,7,8,9-- - 40 +] one at a time like a train of single star lights This was going on for near ten minutes until the last one As I called a friend in neighboring Whitby,Ontario to go out and see these things While watching and talking to him on the phone Navigated him where in the sky to look Then after about near 40 + gone by there were no more Still chatting with my friend by speaker phone After couple minutes - More started to cross the sky - like a second wave Same characteristics in speed and separate distant apart in a line flight path 20 - 30 seconds at a time apart This second line of objects now were three- five degree west Yet still followed southeast direction from northwest Now my friend could see them watching and still chatting by phone After about 20 single objects had passed over Both of us noticed the last one had stopped As if took position to masquerade like a star I do understand about the presence of star link satellites Yet in this episode witnessed feel is a little more then that to report Just theorizing maybe that ALL are NOT star link satellites ? Please note the sky was absolutely clear which is rare here I tried on and off to film them Couple of poor quality videos Thanks for your site to report the bizarre

Myself and 3 other friends were smoking cigarettes on our balcony when we noticed a really fast moving white light(non-blinking). We live near an airport and are used to many planes coming in and out of where we live, however this was moving much faster than any plane. I initially told my friends it was the ISS moving so fast, I've never seen anything fly this fast in person before. As soon as the light got to it's maximum speed it quickly made a SHARP turn and started to fade. I'm an amateur pilot with about 100 hours of flight training and I can tell at that speed the G's would have been way too intense for any human being to endure. I'm unsure exactly what it was but we cannot deny that we all saw it, we were all extremely freaked out afterwards.
