A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Glowing orangey red sphere, not flickering floating at a constant speed and altitude. object moving steadily southwest to northeast in a straight line from Port Franks, Ontario, moving out over Lake Huron at about 10:10 pm October 10, 2015. Disappeared over lake, perhaps into clouds but very clear night. No sound. Sighting lasted approx one to one and a half minutes and was witnessed by two people who caught sight of it moving past a window, who then ran outside to follow its flight out over Lake Huron. Both are retired teachers and keen environmentalists.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122774). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Port Franks (Canada), ON · Canada

My wife and I saw an orange-red spherical globe while watching tv at our lakefront cottage on Lake Huron. The sky was mostly clear, the breeze had been from the west all day and the night was cool, but not cold. Sphere was slightly flattened horizontally and emitted its own glowing red-orange light. Light was constant, did not flicker or change intensity. No sound from it or the wind - even the trees were silent. Speed was constant. It seemed to just float along but with the breeze coming from its side. It did not change altitude either but moved in a straight line from south (land) to north (lake). At one point, far out over the lake, it faded out, promptly re-appeared and then disappeared completely as if it went behind a cloud bank. Size and distance were not discernable but if I held out my arm to full length the globe would have been about the size of the end of my thumb. The whole sighting lasted well under two minutes.
