Triangle over Oakville (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Every night Me and my co-worker eat lunch together outside. Being a amateur astronomy I always do a scan of the sky it was a clear beautiful clear sky. I quickly noticed almost straight up a light moving at about 3x the speed of a passenger plane at I guess cruising altitude. I would say similar to when you see them with contrails. Object description - 3 Points of light possibly a triangle or round. No Sound. To high to see any details other than the lights. It was very surreal. How could something move so fast? It looked so unnatural. We followed it as much as we could until it made a half circle turn! SO Weird. After the half turn it went past the roof of our company and could no longer follow it. Direction traveled was West to East and than turned North. This was my first sighting of a UFO, as was my friends who was left mystified. ((name deleted))

As I sat there, I see a bright object coming out from the darkness coming from around the corner of my balcony. As the object floats over to the middle of my balcony, I see that it is a 2 foot in diameter teardrop shape that looked like it was full of dense fluid that was brightly lit dark blue with sparkles at the top. It floated right in front of me about 4 feet away. My first thought was I just caught a Hersey Kiss drone spying on apartments. I didnt feel afraid although I felt as though I had caught the glowing teardrop spying on me. When the object realized I was there in the dark it diminished itself. The sparkles on the top/tail consumed the blue dense light and disappeared. At that moment I knew it wasn't a drone.

I witnessed a round/sphere shaped object flying in the daytime sky at a significant altitude. I took video on my cellphone and after careful examination, it certainly looks like some type of unidentified flying object. Witness corrected date to September 20, 2016. We have corrected the date above to reflect the correct date. PD

Riding to work on the train, the morning was bright and sunny, I was facing south towards Lake Ontario facing toward the Sun when I noticed a very bright light in the sky not far from the direction of the sun. At first I thought it was a star but then realized there were no others anywhere and it was incredible bright considering it was so sunny out. As I watched it for a few moments, it never moved but it began to intensify in brightness and then in an instant it disappeared completely. It was gone in a flash.

Woke up from a light sleep by an irritating low frequency pulsing hum that could not be localized, It felt as if it was inside my head. Got out of bed and went to the window to see if there was any machinery on the street. You could describe the sound as being like the idle of an engine but only in terms of rhythm. This frequency was much lower than any engine. I could almost feel this hum throughout my body. When I looked out onto the street, there was no activity. However, there was what appeared to be several aircraft each with multiple lights in the sky. After watching for a couple of minutes the configuration of the lights changed with the direction of the movement. So you could assume the multiple white lights were at the front and multiple red lights at the rear. The rear red lights were in two rows on top of each other which gave the appearance of a straight flat surface at the back of the craft. The lights themselves looked like running lights (small, singular, but bright). When the craft appeared sideways you could see much less white at the front and similarly red at the back with large dark gap (lack of any lights) at the sides. Since it was night and the sky was clear yet dark, I could not discern any solid shape other than what you might think is shape determined by the configuration of the lights. My window points south towards the lake whose shoreline is only 1 mile away. Two craft were just west of my position (right) and were off shore heading inland (toward but just west of my house). They were low on the horizon. As they passed, I could not see an underside of the craft. They were moving very slowly, (much slower than any small plane) and made no noise. The third craft was some distance away to the far south east and much less visible but appeared to be just hovering (stationary). Feeling awkward about what I had seen, I tried to go back asleep. But the hum continued. I could not fall back asleep and the hum seem to grow louder again. So I got up and went to the window again. This time, the aircraft were south and east of my house. Their movement appeared to be along the shoreline, heading north, then south in a zig zag pattern heading from west to east. The distant craft was still stationary off to the south east. When I went to the back window I expected to see the craft continue further inland (north) and west (left) from my position. But I could see nothing. Seems as though their flight pattern would zag, about where my house was as a distance from the lake, and they would head back south again. I went and got a pair of binoculars. The configuration of the lights were clearer but I could still not determine the shape of the object. Again, I felt a little silly with my wife sleeping beside me while I walk about the bedroom peering out of the windows, so I tried to go back asleep again. The hum continued (never abated), and again got more intense, so I got out of bed again to have a look. This continued for over 40 minutes. I know because the hockey game was on (was falling asleep to it) and 2 periods had passed while this was happening. Also, at one point the tv signal got scrambled for a brief moment which I thought was odd (not unlike everything else that was going on). The objects continued eastward zigzagging north then south. As they got more distant, I went back to bed and eventually fell asleep. The closes proximity I would say was practically over my house just to the east at a fairly low altitude 1500–2000 feet, but I could still not see any underside (nor lights). The size would be that of a single engine 4 seat plane. They made no noise.
