Fireball over Ancaster (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting on my back yard having a coffee when I noticed an orange fireball going from the south west to the north east. The sky was clear with no overcast. There was absolutely no sound. I called my wife to come outside to have a look at it. She thought it had a white halo around the orange flame. By the time I got binoculars (7x35) it had gained in altitude and accelerated in speed. I only got a quick look and through the binoculars there seemed to be a white haze around the object.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119144). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
