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

The report, as filed

I worked a typical Monday to Friday 8-4:30 job, about 20mins outside of town. On this particular day, I saw this huge, out of place, cloud in the sky. I then noticed there seemed to be a trail behind it, as if it moving across the sky and it was disrupting other clouds. I also noted the area above the cloud appeared to be either sky or a bright light of some kind. I had a Nikon coolpix camera that my work gave me for visiting jobsites, in my lunch bag. So, I fished it out, and took a couple pictures of what I saw. I then turned from a service road out onto the trans Canada highway eastbound. I was now somewhat behind it. I traveled at approx 110km/hr, until my next turn off and never made any ground on it. In fact, it was outpacing me, and this was not a particularly windy day. Until today, no one ever suggested I report it. I'm taking the advice of a colleague I've recently aquantenced with, and reporting it now. I do have 3 photos of what I saw in the sky, however I have no way to print them for mailing in. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Portage la Prairie (Canada), MB · Canada

Early Saturday morning my grandson who is twelve and I went into the back yard of the house to see if the camaleparditis meteorite showers had started. It was a clear sky and we could see all the northern constilations. At around 1:10 am as we were both looking south I could see four orange coloured, what I thought were fire balls that came from the south and passed overhead and headed to the north and dissapeared just above the horizon. I would describe the orange lights as being in a chevron shaped formation but without the light at the front of it. The lights appeared to travel in a formation as if they were connected together. The lights were only visible for about ten seconds and traveled in a straight line as if it was following an orbit. The lights did not leave a trail like a fire ball or meteorite does . About ten minutes later a satellite passed over following the same line. The orange lights were much lower than the satellite. The lights did not make any sound. Both my grandson and first thought that they were part of the meteor showers, but I realized later that this was traveling in the wrong direction and did not look like a fire ball or meteorite.
