Light over Smithville (Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were observing comet Neowise with binoculars. We noticed a light moving east away from our view of the comet. It suddenly sped up and accelerated very fast, still heading east. At approx 75°above the NNE horizon, it slowed down and stopped. It's light flashed occasionally for several minutes and then we lost sight of it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157734). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
