Unknown over Montreal (Canada), QC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving in downtown Montreal, my wife and I looked up and saw two intertwining white semi-cooud formations exactly north to south and east to west. They crossed at each other and one took a very sharp angled change of direction as no aircraft I have ever seen could, At the end of the angle the trail ends abruptly. I have a video and pictures.

I was out with a puppy, potty training. I was sleep deprived and feverish in the midst of a cold, just wishing the pup would hurry up.... But I heard a quiet dual tone mechanical hum overhead and looked up to the sky. There was a black craft with a few lights along the sides, I coudn't see the shape but guessed the edges with the lights; it was shaped like a triangle. I did not recognise this an as airplane shape, and it was very low in the sky and slowly moving toward my house, I'd say curently 1-2 houses over. It was a dark craft at night so judging sizes and distances is hard but I'd say less than 500ft up and roughly the size of a house? I got scared and forced the puppy back inside and locked the doors and drew the blinds. Geting my phone inside and snapping a picture never even crossed my mind... So i have no proof and am now wondering what i really saw. Googling the description however revealed that this seems to be a fairly common sighting and I now ! find it important to report.

Bright white light, came down from the sky on a 45 degree angle for about 2 seconds very fast, about 20,000 feet, then disappeared from the tree coverage, then shot back up into the sky on a 90 degree angle and gone in about one second, was a cloudless night. Moved very fast across the sky, about 5 to 10 miles in 2 seconds, then right up into the sky at extreme speeds, and lost sight after about one second. View was from Montreal South West area, but looked like it could have travelled over a part of Laval (North of Montreal ). Had no time to record, as happened to fast.

Strange light appeared in the night sky at 6:03 pm. The sun goes down at 4:20. It was like a glowing streak of light . You could see clouds passing it by so the light source was definitely coming from above . Captured in on film ( found out I’m horrible at making videos during the night ) . The light just faded away.

Sunday July 28th 2019- 1:30am Montréal, Québec, Canada. I came home late from babysitting my sister's kids. I let my dog out in the yard for her nightly pee. I noticed my potted herbs were wilting and despite feeling very tired, I decided to take the time to water them. As I was doing that, something bright caught my eye. It was a large orange orb in the sky. It was moving rather slowly and eventually came to a stop for a moment and then continued its course in the sky. Eventually, I lost sight of it. At first I thought a plane was on fire? But it was very clearly a bright orange bubble of light that appeared to have two smaller and sharper lights towards the bottom of it. The colour appeared more saturated along the circumference and it seemed as though there was something more “structural” at the centre of it. I didn’t have my phone on me for picture.

star gazing on a beautiful clear night when one of the stars of many expands in size and brightness (solid white in color) and disappears without returning. No flares from Iridium satellites were reported visible from Quebec for the date indicated. See www.heavens-above.com. PD
