Light over Walpole Island (Canada), ON · Canada

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

The report, as filed

I've been waiting to see if the black triangle would come back that I seen in December 2015. Last night, I looked out the living room window and seen a small white light in about the same spot I seen the orange lights that turned into the big black triangle. The stars were visible last night. The stars were small, white lights way up in the sky. The white light that I am talking about and seen last night was not a star. Comparing it to stars, this white light was at helicopter height not very far away from me, just over the street lights a few hundred feet from me, and it was a very bright, white light. It stayed stationary for at least a half hour. My sister seen it too from the house she was in. It was mostly stationary but it did move up and down very slightly once in a while. I kept going to the window to look at it and it stayed quite a while. I think the object chose a very good lookout spot right on the Sydenham River where it can see a wide area. I tried to take a picture of it. I'll send it in if it shows up. When I viewed the images on my camera, it wasn't there but maybe if I view the images larger on the computer, it will be visible.

This happened a few years back and I do not remember the exact date. It was cold enough to have a few layers on, but not a full winter coat. I was guarding the new mother cat and her kittens from the loose dogs in the area. I had my slingshot with me. I did not expect to actually use it but had it anyway. In this rural-ish area, I stood in the shadows and it was dark where I was. Looking up, I seen an orange glow in the night sky right above me. The orange glow had a definite edge that was still a glow, not a hard edge. It did not seem all that far above me. I did not really like that this round glow, that seemed to be about ten feet across or so, felt like it was invading my space. Taking a chance, I shot at it with my slingshot. I had small ball bearings. I did not hear any sound. In the moment that I looked down, it moved over about fifteen feet or so. I shot at it again. It moved to sit over the parking lot across the road. This event told me that such an orange light can be close enough to get with a simple slingshot and that the orange light did not like getting hit with a projectile. I felt like the orange light was being sneaky about moving directly over me and that I was lucky to have looked up when I did while having a slingshot handy.

At night,I went to town and drove the back way home. When I turned east at my road, I seen a big yellow light in the sky about helicopter height. I drove the few houses and quickly reached my house watching this stationary yellow light. When I got out of the van, the light was moving but now I could see the under lights on it. I went to the door and told my sister to come watch this big plane. It glided in a straight light now moving south like it was going straight over my neighbour's house. It wasn't a plane. It was a giant black triangle with high sides and lights underneath it. The gold light was still there but didn't look as large as before. The gold light was at the front of the thing. Suddenly it turned and neatly swerved and quickly right overhead of me and my sister. That was unnerving. I didn't watch it when it went directly overhead. My sister watched it move directly overhead. I was too scared to. Because at first, I thought it was going to crash as it was so low in the sky. It didn't make sense what it was or why was that big thing over my neighbour's yard was now coming right over me. I turned and watched when it wasn't so directly overhead. But it was so big, it was still overhead us and moved slowly to the west. I bet it moved to Selfridge Airport. Military vehicle maybe. It was not high in the sky at all. It was high as a helicopter only. It was a giant black triangle. It had bottom lights - red lights on one side and green lights on the other and some white lights. That gold light seemed to be on the front. It was this gold light that didn't have a beam but when I first seen it, but the light seemed to project somewhat. I watched it leave but not really. It seemed to disappear into the light fog or mist that was happening over the last few days. It was completely silent until it maneuvered overhead us. It made a big loud engine noise for at least several seconds and then it went back to quiet again. I heard that same noise in the sky a few weeks ago. I went running out of my house then to see what would make that noise but I couldn't see it. I'm going to go out tonight at the same time and see if I can see it again, and I have camera ready this time.

hi there, i was just out taking orb pictures when this thing showed up. i'm sending 3 pictures in sequence. in the last shot, it is not visible anymore. I don't look through the viewfinder when I take a shot now. I look into where the flash is and you can see activity or lights when the orbs, objects, bugs, etc. show up. This one, was apparent in viewfinder immediately, then i snapped another shot and got it again and then the last shot it was not visible. What is it? Photos show streaks of light, and a small object, which is radiating a full spectrum of colors. Not alien space ships, we suspect. PD
