The report, as filed
On Friday , August 18, 2017, I was outside my workplace in Scarborough, Ontario, on my morning break. At exactly 10:06 am - time stamp on my camera Witnessed very high above my work roof northwest A bright white rectangle shaped object It was in a vertical position which appeared almost stationary I then immediately pulled out my camera Pointing it towards the high white unknown object still visual As I took the picture witnessed a bright white blue flash The object was now gone in a blink of an eye There were many clouds about that within seconds covered where I had seen it I waited another ten minutes to see if I could see it again Not much hope with much cloud cover moving fast Yet that small area of the blue sky was clear to see much higher up In examining the one picture taken Surprisingly it was not captured on film As to it's purpose being up there Just brings further wonder in timing Thanks again

I was outside looking up at the moon and saw two objects flying together at a high rate of speed going from north to south They were both round and looked alike, But did not fly at the same speed, more of zig pattern and not in a straight line There was a skimmer of light on each, Possibly the reflection of the moon No noise, no bright lights, just lucky to be Looking at the right spot at the right time Other people with me but they could not See them in the dark sky and they were Gone within 10 seconds

Night after a full moon eclipse, sky was grey and stormy looking. From 23rd level of a condo building I casually looked out to see a white light just below a low dark cloud. Initially I thought was an airplane. From my condo I see all the airplanes flying straight towards me far off in the distance then take a few seconds to turn direction and begin circling over Toronto before landing at Pearson Airport -at which point you see the other flashing lights on the plane- but I realized this white light wasn't glowing like a light, it was just the colour white in contrast with the dark grey clouds. From the moment I saw it, it was flying down diagonally to the right, I blinked and it swooped diagonally up to the left super fast up into the low cloud. It swooped like a seagull or kite would. I waited several seconds before it reappeared by coming back down out of the cloud quite a distance away (I confirmed no flapping or any drone movements, and definitely way too high in the sky for kite and impossible too since it's over apartment buildings and roads etc.) did about 2 more swoops down and then back into the clouds. Didn't see it after that. The sighting took place in about 20 seconds. I took a photo of the sky and I've drawn lines to mimic the movements
