Teardrop over Fort McMurray (Canada), AB · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I'm from Nova Scotia, but I work in Alberta, and back in May 5, 2016, I was sitting in a house in Fort McMurray, Alberta, when I saw (what looked like) a dark brown upside down teardrop, with 4 needle like points (like fingers) coming out of it, with a second dark brown upside down tear drop with two points coming out of it too, slightly lowered beside it, flying together. It passed in front of me at the far end of my street. It was about 100 yards away and about 75 feet in the air. It made no sound and both were about the size of a standard school bus each. It was a clear day without clouds. It drifted right across in front of me and drifted off into the horizon, going West. It came from the East.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139715). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

While driving to Fort Chip on Highway 63, my colleague and I both witnessed lights hovering in an arrow formation within the clouds. We were on the phone with another colleague and both commented at the same time is that a UFO above or around the aurora Syncrude site Location. But then the clouds increased before we could take a proper picture.

I was working on pond 8B at Suncor just north of Fort McMurray. The object caught my eye and at first I thought it was a bird. But when I looked closer I saw a black chevron shaped air craft with sharp 90 degree angles. It was just under the clouds so it had to be several thousand feet high. Judging by the distance it seemed to be quite large. At least the size of a commercial air liner. It was travelling out of the South moving north. The object continued north until it was over the main plant site (base plant of Suncor) then slowed down and turned very sharply making a U turn and headed south again. It continued south at a slow rate of speed for a while then accelerated rapidly. The object then went out of view behind a small cloud per the south end of pond 8B and Was not seen again. The object was flat and did not seem to have a fuselage or distinctive engines. The sky was scattered clouds with a distinctive ceiling. A solid mass of cloud cover or front ! of some sort was to the north east. I was facing west when I initially saw the object.
