Unknown over Cochrane, ON · Canada

The report, as filed

On or about April 11 2018 at approximately 1255 am, I was on Hwy 655 between the City of Timmins Ontario and the Hwy 11 junction at Driftwood Ontario. There is a flat straight stretch on this road approximately 10 miles long. There was still snow on the ground and the sky was cloudless. I was driving at a crawl just at idle speed, my drivers window was down and I was watching the stars as usual. I always keep my dash lights at the lowest setting for better forward visibility. Ahead of me in the sky, due north, was a black patch with no visible stars. The sky ahead of me lit up like a military paraflare was used. I slammed on the brakes thinking I was witnessing a supernova. But the supernova/star changed. After 2 or 3 seconds it reduced its brilliance and a smaller and less brilliant star made a controlled descent straight down from the bottom of the larger one. It dropped for approximately 2 seconds then made a 90 degree right turn and headed due east quite quickly. The small star vanished after 3 seconds, then so did the larger one. I sat there stunned with cold shivers running through me. I have been very reluctant to share this for the safety and security of my family. I just thought it was time to share this, and I feel that you people are the best to proceed with. Many things are seen but go unreported where I live, in the Town of Cochrane Ontario. I have been with others when we have witnessed other strange phenomena. Things such as a large silent disc flying across the tree tops observed by 3 family members, a group of construction workers in a company bus observed a silent flying object in a very remote area, lights in the sky that abruptly change direction, strange sounds, black triangle, etc.
