Chevron over Canmore (Canada), AB · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was hiking down on a trail above the powerline trail near grassi lakes in Canmore. I looked up above the trees toward the Three Sisters Mountains, so in between Three Sisters and Mt. Haling, and saw a triangular chevron shaped craft flying/gliding perfectly straight towards the east end of Grotto Mountain above Canmore, between 10,000 and 20,000 feet in the air. It was moving at least 3 times faster than any commercial jets I saw, but there was no sound. It disappeared behind the trees again and then I ran to an opening at the end of the trail, which took maybe 20 seconds, and it was no longer visible. It was solid black no visible lights or markings. I tried to take 2 pictures with my phone but it didn't show up it was either behind the trees or the background was to bright and it couldn't pick it up. Either way there is nothing visible in the pictures.

Paddling on the Rundle Forebay Reservoir at around 3am and saw what looked like a star directly to the east above Mt. Fable. The star got brighter and then produced what looked like headlight beams (white) before rapidly changing direction (roughly 45 degrees) to the north and out of the atmosphere as a single red dot. 3 other witnesses saw the event. Thought it might have been a meteor ricocheting off the Troposphere. Incredible event to have witnessed regardless of object.
