Sphere over Toronto (East York)(Canada), ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
East York, Toronto Ontario. I was standing on my balcony having a smoke, and I was looking up and saw a rather large white ball streaking across the sky heading north with a clearly visible vapour trail in tow. The white ball was about half the size of the Moon, it was flying lower than the altitude of a high-flying airliner, but it appeared considerably larger, and traveling at a speed which could only be matched by a very low flying fighter jet. The object was white like a fully lit frosted light bulb. For me, it was an awesome sight!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158044). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
