Oval over Kingston (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was going through some photos I had taken on June 14, 2015, and in one photo, I noticed something in the sky. I don't remember taking a specific photo of this object as I was just snapping photos while out with my girlfriend and her dog. I never saw the object in the sky, until I looked at the photo and noticed it. I zoomed the photo and used an edge detection filter on the image and realized it wasn't a bird or anything else I could ascertain. I came to the conclusion that it was indeed an unidentified flying object. It is definitely a solid object in the sky above the lake. I also snapped another picture of the same scene about 17 seconds later and the object doesn't appear in the second photo. I am submitting these two photos and I haven't changed them in any way. These are directly from the camera to my hard drive.

My wife and I were outside before bed last night and we looked over towards the airport, and we seen a bright circular light we thought might have been a plane taking off, but as we observed it, it appeared to be going straight up and had no tail lights, then all of a sudden it started getting a little brighter and started moving horizontal across the sky, as we were watching it for a brief moment a second light appeared extremely bright and disappeared into the sky, we continued to watch the UFO as it moved across the sky, it then started getting much brighter , and seemed to be lower when all of a sudden it started getting smaller and more dim and disappeared into the night sky somewhere in our galaxy, and I do have to say my wife and I have always been skeptics , until last night.

Went out on the roof deck on a 14 storey building. Took my binoculars looking straight up. I saw the biggest craft outside of our atmosphere. The moon was lit, but there was no shine at all . It looked stealth color and huge. Moving fast across the sky south to north. Ive seen alot of unexplained but this one gave me a chill.

Travelling eastbound towards Kingston, I saw what appeared to be a triangular craft over the 401. It was already dark out around this point, so all I could see were the lights. There were three white lights and one red on the craft forming a triangle. My initial thought was that I was looking at a stealth bomber, since I could not see the hull of the craft in the darkness but it was just hovering there above the 401. I was driving and had to keep looking at the road. At the point at which the craft was above my vehicle I heard a strange sound like a jet afterburner. I pulled back the sun roof and could not see anything. I started looking in all my mirrors to see if I could see anything moving or heading towards the horizon and still saw nothing.

On July 14, 2017, at 12:15pm, I was walking west on South Bartlett St. in Kingston, Ontario, when I notice a black S shaped balloon, spinning aerodynamically a mile up in the sky, and a mile south east of me as though it was flat on the ground.. I happen to be beside three guys work near a moving van and asked them to look up at the strange black thing in the sky. They all stared with me for 30 seconds and I asked what they thought it was. One guy said, "It's probably a drone.. Or probably not "with a puzzled look. The other two said they thought it was strange. I said its maybe a kite and continued walking to the corner, but kept watching the object. As I came to the corner, a tree blocked my view, but as I was able to see it again past the tree, I was shocked to see that it had projected itself in the trajectory of my eyesight and itself approximately 50-100 miles away and on a 45 degree angle that went straight towards space. I tried to grab my camera but didn't want to take my eye off it, and within 5 seconds, it was so tiny that it disappeared into the sky at a steady, but rapid speed. I went back to the truck and asked the three guys if they had continued watching it after I left and they said no. I speculated it was like the object sensed it was noticed by me and took off when the guys stopped looking and when my vision was blocked by the tree I had passed. I am a average working man and haven't seen anything my whole life except for now two sightings ( including this one) in the last two years and I just turned 40. Strange thing is I had just left my friends house after telling him a theory about how we as humans are the top predators and think zombies are scary, but if we had a new predator, an alien one, that we would find whatever shape the alien was to be horrifying and our instincts would change to fear the sight of them and that we would become uncivilized and not be able to be in groups, as we would be easily targeted by this new predator that we don't even know exsists yet. For some reason I think such a horrible race of "monsters" exsists in space just waiting forsure numbers to get to a certain point like they have for generations. Waiting till the earth is full of humans than coming down and harvesting us all spare a few to re- colonize. Just a theory, but a mortifying one one is reluctant to ponder on. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be sincere and sober-minded. We have encouraged him to have at least one of the other four alleged witnesses to submit a supplementary report, for confirmation. PD

I went outside to go to my car and saw what looked like a very odd, low-hanging star in the distance. All the stars were out, but this one looked very yellow and seemed to be flickering. I stared at it for about 20 minutes and it appeared to be hovering in place. A plane passed nearby, and this looked nothing like the plane whatsoever. I've also seen helicopters, chinese lanterns, swamp gas and the northern lights before. This was nothing at all like any of those. I was staring and staring, totally mesmerized. I decided to run inside for a minute to grab my phone. I doubted that I could get a good picture as the object was so far away and it was very dark, but I was going to try. I also tweeted out to people on twitter about it, to see if anyone else in my city could see the bright light and if they knew what it might be. When I came back out, I was watching it for maybe 30 seconds and then the light went red. About 30 seconds later, it became a very bright white light, and then TOOK OFF. It took off FAST. Way faster than I had just seen the plane go. And I mean, WAY, WAYYYYYY faster. It almost seemed at this point as if there were multiple white lights, or kind of like if the object was round and had a bunch of white lights on the bottom in a circle, or if the lights were all around it on the side, and like those lights were rotating extremely fast while the object took off both vertically and horizontally. The lights faded very fast though as the object took off. I looked at the stars again, and they were all just as visible as before. The entire incident took about 30-40 minutes. I think I'm the only one in my city (relatively small) who happened to be outside in the cold weather and looking up at this exact time. It was between 9:30pm to 10:12pm.
