On the evening of February 12th, 2018, I was driving back from my fathers house to my mothers house, a drive I’ve done routinely my entire life. Once I pulled into the subdivision where my mother lives, I notice two sets of two lights on the horizon, one set higher than the other. Behind my mothers subdivision is nothing but forest, and I have never noticed towers in that direction. The lights were large, with a golden orange appearance, seemingly looking like two sets of vehicle headlights floating over the tree line. My mothers subdivision is small, and as I drove down the hill towards the lights they disappeared over the crest of the hill. I turned the corner and up another hill to get another vantage point where I could see the lights once again, making sure not to mistake them with street lights. I knew the lights were something in the distance, not something within the subdivision itself. I made my way back to the highest crest of the hill where the su! bdivision starts, and from what I saw, the separation between lights had grown, or moved. I studied them with binoculars for 5 minutes before pulling into my driveway for the night. From my driveway, I could still see the highest sets of lights still hanging low on the horizon. I tried to forget about them, told myself they were just towers I had been missing. 2 hours later I went for a cigarette in my driveway and there were no lights visible, and since then I have yet to see them again. At the far back of my mothers subdivision are two woods paths, both of which I hiked up close to a kilometer in. We had rain two days prior, with temperatures dropping to -20 at night. Both trails were untouched with a thick layer of ice covering the snow, meaning no one had been back there for at least a few weeks. I checked all recent google imagery maps, GeoNB and aerial photography of the area and there is nothing back there, no towers at all. Regards

This was completely by accident. I was getting up to get some honey for my sore throat. I noticed that the moon was very bright, however very few stars actually visible in the night sky. We are accustomed to seeing planes come in from the direction I was looking. What caught my eye was that it did not appear to be moving and rather than the traditional, well timed flash of lights on the wing of a plane, these were multi coloured and extremely bright lights. And rather than the lights appearing to be on the object, the lights seemed to be the object and around the object all at the same time. The other anomaly was that it was not moving. I lined it up with a street light on the other side of the city and stood stationary and it never moved. The tree line was also visible in the dark and it was not going up or down either. We keep binoculars in the kitchen window for bird watching so I steadied my arms by resting them on the counter and looked through. Plane shapes are easily seen this way. This was not holding a specific shape and seemed to change randomly in a fluid manner. I woke up my house mate and the first suggestion was that it may be Sirius which most certainly can have bright flashing colours. Although we have never seen Sirius that low in the sky. The other thing that was strange was that it looked considerably bigger than a star in the sky. Taking into consideration there were only two other stars visible in the clear view of the sky from the kitchen window, it was strange enough to keep watching. After approximately another five minutes of watching it, the object slowly moved away in the direction of South West fairly fast until it appeared to be lowering in the sky to the tree line. It was definitely moving away rather than dropping because it was getting smaller and harder to see. Taking the distance from the object, night time hours, treeline and buildings into consideration, I would estimate the overall size (although fluidly changing) to be that of five to six city buses, end to end, wide. And perhaps four city buses, end to end, high. We both had the sensation of feeling unnerved. I can only describe it as feeling like we were seeing something that was not right. Even when we trying to rationalize that it was a star or something else. It was a little upsetting and exciting at the same time. Just a knowing that something was, off? Hard to put my finger on it. I do not need to be contacted by anyone, however if anyone has questions I am happy to answer them.

My friend and I were outside around 9 pm then I thought I saw a plane flying really low. I told my friend to look at it as I thought that the plane was going to crash. We both realised at the same time that it was not a plane! It was flying really low...going faster than a plane and had green and red lights flashing in front and back. There was a loud noise that sounded like a big fan! We saw it go by until it disappeared behind trees. We could not really distinguished what was the shape of the object but we know for sure it was not a plane! And none of us had our phones ready to take a video or picture!

Witnessed at approximately 5:00pm Atlantic Standard Time. Clear sky – no clouds. 2 commercial aircraft were heading west, with one following the other, in a staggered pattern. Both aircraft were emitting vapor trails. At a point, approximately 60 degrees vertical from the west horizon, we noticed a third object at a 4 o’clock position, behind the first aircraft, following a parallel course heading. It did not emit a vapor trail and had a very reflective surface, which was a lot brighter than the 2 aircraft. This object also appeared to be larger than the 2 aircraft. After watching for approximately 10 seconds it faded and disappeared. I thought that the object may have been the International Space Station, which I have witnessed before, so I checked the NASA website to check the orbit schedule. Nothing matched up. I then checked the Iridium Flare satellite schedule and nothing matched up. We are not sure what we witnessed.
