Oval over Toronto (Canada), ON · Canada

The report, as filed
August 20, 2015. Tonight, my wife and I have witnessed our first UFO sighting since we have started living in Canada. We live in North York, Toronto and we are very close to the Pearson International Airport. We see hundreds of airplanes flying over our heads on a daily basis. At around 21.31PM, we saw from the basement window an orange oval craft that was flying mid-air through the sky. We were surprised to see something flying at such a low altitude, and of such a distinct and luminous color. I promptly jumped off the couch and started following the orange light as it was moving left from my point of view. I have followed the movement of the orange craft as long as I could before it went off sight, as I wasn’t able to look past my neighbors’ trees. I started running upstairs and left my bungalow and, once in the driveway, I could still see the orange light moving towards the Goddard/Waterloo intersection (which is north from where my house is). The orange craft kept this very peculiar, almost fluid motion in the sky for about other 20 seconds. When I got closer to the Goddard Street/Waterloo Avenue intersection, I have noticed, as always, two airplanes flying in opposite directions. One was on its way to landing at Pearson International Airport; the other one, instead, had just taken off from the same airport. In between them there still was the orange oval craft. Compared to the two airplanes, it was pretty amazing to notice how the craft did not present any other lights that could possibly resemble an airplane or any other known aircraft. My wife was still able to see the orange craft from the driveway. The craft stood there for a few more seconds before it disappeared before our eyes in the dark, blue sky. The other two airplanes were still following their trajectories.

Hello, I was out walking my dog the other week around 11:00 pm and saw something curious. I saw three stars in the sky and thought it was Orion's belt, but then noticed that were slowly moving southbound towards Lake Ontario. The three orbs (they just looked like stars, they were very distant) moved along at a constant pace, southbound. Then I noticed another orb appear on the north end of the line, also moving southbound. More orbs started appearing in this fashion in a straight line, steadily moving southbound. When the line was about 5 orbs long, the southmost one would disappear. Approximately 7-10 orbs appeared and travelled along this route until they faded from the sky one by one reaching the "end" of the line . Nothing crazy, just thought it seemed curious and I didn't know what they could be.

The craft came from the north and was flying south. It was bright orange/red in colour. I thought it was a plane at first but when it flew over my head it was really high, going faster than a plane should and was a circle shape.

Came from the west heading east, and then disappeared upward. Multiple crafts coming from the same location, going in the same direction. Thought maybe it was a satellite until I saw a 2nd, and then a 3rd, and so on. Wish I kept track. After the last one appeared, a jet flashing red and blue lights followed the same path behind them. Very high altitude..
