A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hello By far not the first sighting we've had living here but this one was...epic, thought I'd share. First observed two lights traveling slowly one following the other (same as satellites) in a slow-straight line overhead. Knowing satellites never travel together in pairs I went inside my home to call my wife. At first she noticed the two satellite looking lights, then she panicked and said "There's more"!! We watched over twenty objects one after another slowly crossing the sky, appearing from the distance (+10 km) out of maybe fog or cloud (very dark out), traveling in a line above us heading from the West, eventually disappearing into fog/clouds and off into the distant glow of lights in Calgary in the East. The sky was very clear other than some fog in the far distance. My wife was counting the number of objects until ran back into the house for more clothing(-8c). I gave up counting as didn't find it important and started looking around for camera and neighbors, anyone to point out and share an epic moment with, but nobody was outside.(Too dark for photograph) Terrifying thrilling better than any Netflix. Hope others who may have seen this take a minute to back us up here.wow lol

Driving with my son westbound on rr 262 I noticed a grey pie shaped object in the sky out of my driver side window. I alerted my son to look at it and he spotted it right away. As I was driving, I had my attention divided between the road ahead and the object in the sky to my left. I took 4-5 2-3 second glances at the object, which seemed to be standing stationary in the sky. The object began to rotate, appeared to turn black, then disappeared. After it turned black I looked away to check the road and when I looked back it was gone. No trail, nothing. Very clear sky with high visibility and ceiling. I have binoculars in my truck which I quickly passed to my son in the back earlier on in the sighting, and he struggled to find it through the binoculars, but he watched for the first 10 seconds or so. The object was triangular in shape. It looked proportionately like a thick piece of cake.. The tail end was also “v” shaped or possibly described as a shallow chev! ron shape when observed from directly below . There were no windows, lights, lines or markings on the objects surface and the edges were all rounded. Within 1 min of us seeing the object we witnessed a military plane flying in the direction of our sighting.

We went for a dog Walsh around 8pm. We noticed the a very strong light floating over the Rockies, then a set of various lights near it appeared to be flying on a straight line eastwards just above the Banff park area coming towards Cochrane. They didn’t seem to stop and we’re perfectly spaced equidistantly from each other. The as if at a marked spot, they’d disappear one by one everything their flight path raches that spot. We saw the same lights about 2 weeks ago and we counted 6. This time, the event lasted for about 6-8 mins and we lost count after 18 or more.

My friend and I were driving my my house near a tri-school area when we saw a blinking white, green and red light object in the sky. It looked far away as though it was an airplane but I thought the flashing colours were strange. We drove closer and it was very close to us and low to the ground and we saw a flat triangular shape with three lights, one at each end. It was very close and we freaked out and drove up a hill as it started following really close and fast. We lost track of it and it disappeared. We drove out of the area we were in and saw it further away again we tried to follow it but it would disappear in front of our eyes. We started seeing a bunch of them (around 5-10) all around but they kept disappearing and reappearing in weird areas. At the same time we kept seeing balls of light around us that would disappear as well out of nowhere. This lasted about 45 mins before we left

Observed SW of Cochrane, distant triangle with 3 glowing lights left a "V" of cloud and disappeared (along with its clouds) after only a couple minutes. This repeats daily at/around sunset. Observed by my boyfriend and I- both 24, both skeptical people. He does insurance and I'm a massage therapist. Sound of mind people but we see this happen daily

So i was looking out my balcony and the back deck on a summer night. I noticed the first initial light just turn on as like a lamp one solid orangeish light as seen in the video. i then stared noticing other ones faintly flashing around it after a few minutes i never thought much when i seen the first one just sitting but when i seen the others appearing I pulled out my phone to film. I witnessed with my eyes in detail the events pictured in the videos so i know that whats seen is accurate to what was happening no camera flares or shines etc. pitch black in country side. So as i continued watching and filming the once solid light became hollow like a ring and i started to notice other ones sort of splitting out of it like when cells multiply and they would appear all in different brightness's going either up or down but making crescent shapes as they appear. That continued for maybe 2-3 minutes from the initial light i seen appear in the sky as it it was turned on and it sat still then progressed into what you see in the video and explained. After it was done it formed a waning crescent moon and remained in the sky the entire night till morning and i could see the moon still in the sky during say time the next day. The color of the seen lights was a orange color similar to headlights until it changed into the moon is was a very bright moon with the normal color you see in the moon at night when its bright. There were no aircraft seen flying during the report landing or taking off as there is a small private airport a few kilometres to the North of where the video was taken. Sky was mostly clear very few clouds no rain, no wind no recent storms. I did have a weird feeling that i felt almost being watched or observed when i started recording and before i was recording only small lights were flashing around it similar to seen in the first clip solid balls not ring like also pictured later. I've never been a big UFO person but to this day that was one of the many strange things ive seen living out in the country where i can better observe the sky and the only thing I've been able to record to date. I also witnessed only via camera a second UFO seen appearing as almost blue/white energy looking thing I've never really known how to describe it i noticed it on camera while taking photos of the moon after it finished and was just sitting as the moon and when i zoomed in i seen what appeared to be "energy" as it looked like it was flowing or moving kinda like electricity and it was one strong line going horizontally slightly tiled and above was lighter lines in 2 spiked patterns that also seemed to flow with energy. i was able to observe this for about 10 minutes before it just kinda faded out slowly till it was gone it never moved any directs on made lights or changed in any was i didn't notice how it came to appear i just seen it on camera. The "moon" remained all night with no further changes after its initial ones. The videos were posted to my instagram account several years ago im trying to get the originals or save them in a better manner if i am able to i will be these are same footage just screen recorded from my page as i couldnt download the videos as files.
