Circle over Pictou Landing (Canada), NS · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Out having a smoke approx. 9:30 PM. Looking northeast at the stars. Noticed a very fast moving orange/reddish object come from the southeast - moving in a north-westerly direction. The object slowed to a speed comparable to a commercial jetliner passing overhead, then zig-zagged up an down very slowly for about 10 seconds/5 times. The object then accelerated extremely quickly and turned to a northerly course until out of sight - about 4 seconds from acceleration until disappearance. I have witnessed this type of sighting many times in the past few years - one was particularly unnerving as I was close enough that I could have touched the object if I had tried to. Always seen with witnesses. Reporting now because I'm seeing objects with increasing frequency.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #117719). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
