July 14, 2019 UFO – Sighting 2018 Sydney, Nova Scotia I cannot exactly recall the date but I think it was sometime in April or May of 2018. I thought I would share the experience. I have a business in the McCurdy Sydney Airport here had just started to drive home around 9PM. When I got to the end of the airport road and turned onto the main highway I noticed blinking lights to my left side, sort of just over the tree line. There are towers in the area and I chalked it up to that. As I proceeded on my drive, I realized these lights are still there and moving. What I seen was simply three lights blinking just off timing of each other but were consistent in blinking time and distance apart. The distance apart seemed to be massive; much larger than an aircraft. I could not see anything other than the light. I saw them continue on right over the city of Sydney. Once I got onto the TransCanada Highway, I lost them but when I got into Sydney River (5 minutes away) I spotted them again over the mountain range. I got onto my final road (route 4) and watched the light go out of sight over the mountains. This is very unusual and I feel lucky to have seen these lights. I was expecting to wake up and hear news reports of this but nothing. This went right over the city! I am still amazed about it and will always wonder what it was.

WHILE LEAVING SYDNEY, NS, AIRPORT, I NOTICED 3 LOW LIGHTS OVER TREE LINE ALL FLASHING AT OFFSET TIMES AND A FAIR DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIGHTS FROM A TOWER, BUT REALIZED THEY WERE MOVING SLOWLY, BUT IN UNISON ACROSS THE SKY. THEY WERE VISIBLE JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE DRIVE TO HOWIE CENTER. THEY WERE WHITE WITH NO OTHER COLOR, BUT FUNNY HOW THEY WERE FLASHING AND ALWAYS THE SAME DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was outside around 6:30 pm December 10, 2015, and a bright flash caught my perrifferal vision. When I looked up, I saw 2 lights over top of each other, and were a distance apart. Then they started to roll or tumble in the sky, all the while staying exactly the same distance apart. I best discribe it as a baton with a light on either end.

I went outside around 6:20 p.m., and observed two satilites that were about to pass each other like headed in opposite directions. (N-S). I noticed a flash in the corner of my eye and looked and there was nothing there. I glanced back up at the satiltes and when i looked back over where i saw the flash there were 2 brigh lights sitting vertical. They began moving South and began to climb and started to roll and tumble faster and faster as it fell deeper into space. When i lost site of the lights there was a blue flood light came on for about 2 seconds and went out and repeated a 2 second blue light. I could see a craft moving North. Only for that blue light i wouldn't have see it. It was higher than jetliners fly yet the light were right in front of me.
