The report, as filed
I was walking toward downtown in my city in London, ON, Canada, and I stopped to take a brake while walking along a path at the Thames River. As I sat down to take a break for a few moments I looked into the starlit sky. At first I observed the usual stars.... then in an instant, I seen what looked to be a shooting star streak across the sky in a horizontal direction. I have seen a few occurrences like this so I thought it was another amazing moment looking into the sky. Then afterward about five minutes later I noticed what looked to be a star like shaped object, glistening in the sky just like all the others, but this star seemed to be moving around slightly. I quickly thought to myself to grab my smartphone and record this phenomena, as I did so the sky was so black that only darkness was able to be seen from my smartphone video recording app. So I began to record the object in the sky anyhow. Then after about ten minuets I decided to take out my other cell ! phone to take some pictures as best as I could. This object traveled slowly in the sky then would stop for a few moments then would slowly move again. Then this star like object traveled in a circle as I watched closely in the sky as I observed sitting on the pathway bench. Then an aircraft began to travel in the same vicinity with the regular flashing lights that people normally seen when observing aircraft's in the sky. I continued to watch this star like object move and when someone walked along the pathway, this star shaped object stopped in place looking just like a regular star in the nights constellation. After the person walked off the pathway out of sight, this star shaped object began to slowly move around again in slow semi circular movements. At 20:10pm, I continued to walk to finish my errands, and I am about to go back to the pathway to observe if there's any more unknown objects in the sky.

The object was moving across the sky very low in a straight line. No noise came from the object. Started to ascend into sky until it disappeared.

At approximately 11:00pm, on the night of August 23rd, 2020, amateur astronomers viewing Jupiter witnessed a comet with a fiery trail to the left of Saturn travelling downward in Saturn’s direction. About a minute after the comet 3 boomerang shaped objects appeared traveling from the comets direction toward the North; they were a dull orange colour slightly glowing, they flew together but not in unison. Approximately 15 min later, ending at 11:03, a second sighting was made by 2 of the 3 witnesses; there were an estimate of 50-100 of the same boomerang shaped UFOs travelling in the same direction as the previous 3. The UFOs made two scattered V formations while traveling; ending the sighting, 2 of the UFOs from the large group travelled south, almost directly above the witnesses, moving much slower and then turned back North and sped away disappearing into the sky. One of the 3 witnesses saw a large hexagon-shaped object with no glow or light, leading t! he large group of UFOs.

Basically around 1:30 am observer 1 noticed a triangular craft move above north west of our seated area in our back yard. It was just below clouds . It was whispy cloud cover nit thick at all Moon was to our south east and it was about 3/4 moon It hovered went west past tree line and then came back hovered again and went east then out of sight Lasted about 20 minutes. He says it was size of quarter at arms length quote from observer 1 “ Triangular in shape its flight path was like a clothesline parallel and lights where violet green white yellow and I want to say like Amber not red not Orange” Observer two only observed the object after informed by observer 1. I noticed it above hovering north west of my position . First thought it was a drone . Because it sat in the one position with multi coloured lights blinking . The lights to me seemed to indicate a circular pattern or craft. It moved east and to me seemed to have a appearance of lights in circular pattern at each end of object . To me the object was translucent the shape like a helicopter. It made no noise of an engine but I thought I heard air moving . It went to the east and disappeared. The lights to me seemed like Christmas lights . Flashing twinkling . But I like an airplane not in a fixed patter. After I stopped watching I saw in the top of a tree in neighbours tree a bright white light blink out the size of soft ball . I thought fire fly them it occurred it was too big to be firefly . Several weeks before observer 2 saw in same location saw a yellow orange light travel upwards seemed steep incline . I took video and picture of that . It was northern sky

35-50 moving stars. Many travelling in a straight line but not in the same orientation. Eg. String of 8 to 12 travelling NW to SE, string of 3-5 travelling W to E, etc. This is the 6th time in approx. 7 weeks, myself and my family have witnessed these strange lights in the sky from our backyard. It is becoming a nightly look and find. Tonight was the highest concentration to date. At least two occurences, a normal aircraft also appeared in the sky, as reference (moving much slower, blinking lights and audible engine noise). Moving stars are fast, no sound.

At approximately 10:25 p.m., I was looking up in the sky as I saw a plane then from the East I saw what I thought was the space station above the plane then it stopped and literally stayed there for an hour or more till I fell asleep it was doing a little zigzag movements I confirmed it with my neighbours who came out on their porch to have a smoke so I'm not crazy I'm not a drinker -43 year old intelligent male never thought I would be reporting a UFO sighting I figured maybe you could be a drone, but living so close to the airport and that high up and after one hour I was like there is no way it's a drone I have video.
