Fireball over Courtice (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting in my garage. I noticed a large object coming toward us. It looked like a large ball of very orange fire. I waited a minute to tell my friends who did not notice it at first. Once I did we were all in awe as it was very unusual. It was quite large and slow moving at first. It processed in our direction. We watched and took a video as it flew over us and kept heading in a south ward direction. It then started to flicker and sped up very fast so it was a small dot in the sky then disappeared. We continued to look for it for a few seconds and it did reappear briefly then finally dissapeared for good. We took a video of it flying over us.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #110304). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
