Other over Stratford (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed a large bright bird like shape in night sky. At first thought light was a shooting star moving very fast from east to west until bright light made a 90 degree turn and charged direction to move from south to north. This was not a airplane as it was moving too fast and to high up in atmosphere to be a plane and planes can't turn as fast as this did. Also, although light was shaped like a bird it was again moving too fast and to high in atmosphere to be a bird.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121732). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
