As reported

Formation over Doaktown, NB · Canada

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

The report, as filed

The small community, Doaktown, New Brunswick, Canada was watching the fireworks being held for "Canada 150" at the Doaktown School playground, when the UFO was spotted at 10:31pm Atlantic time. The UFO was flying in a triangular formation, but it appeared to be 3 separate lights that were round in shape and white/blue in colour. They were not overly bright. They flew over the fireworks and were almost hit a number of times before suddenly changing direction flying North- East rather than strictly East. It came from the West. Many people saw the UFO and in a video of the fireworks that I had taken a man can be heard saying, "What's that flying over top?", while numerous other people gasp and shout about "the lights". It cannot be seen in the video - it was shot with a Samsung Note 4 camera which has poor low-light detection while on video mode. I did however, get a photo of the object while the sky was dark and firework-less. The photo is not of good quality and the object looked quite different in person, but this is the best I could do in the 40 seconds that it lasted. You can see in the middle of the photo, 3 lights that form a triangle, this is the object. Again though, it looked different in person and to the naked eye as the lights appeared closer to earth, larger, and more white/blue than the photo shows.
