A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was mostly clear skies. Though there were some white billowing clouds covering the sunset from the West to the West North. Otherwise I would probably not seen the object. It looked cigar shaped and bright white. It first appeared about sixty degrees up from the horizon. It did not look to be moving and it slowly disappeared. My friend asked what I was looking at and I said it is gone. Though I continued looking at the same spot to see if it was indeed gone. She began looking in the sky with me. However, as she and I looked I noticed it again but at about forty degrees in the horizon this time. It was a little bit to the left of the first position. It looked exactly the same size. It acted the same as the first time and slowly disappeared. The person with me said it must be a balloon and I just agreed. LOL

We were sitting on the balcony enjoying the weather, there were a few clouds but no moon yet. We both simultaneously saw a collection of orange lights about the brightness of stars (but brighter than you can normally see in this city due to light pollution) and flying in a loose group from behind the trees in the eastern sky, continued to fly upward and towards the north like a fleet. After a minute or two they seemed to form into a straight line and we'd see more joining from behind the trees, but eventually they all blinked or faded out as they got further north. I managed to view them up close in the binoculars but all I could see was an orb or disc-like shape, single light each, definitely not regular planes. I later found the Phoenix lights when doing research and they were somewhat similar but a lot smaller.

LOCATION: Hamilton, Ontario FILMED: Facing West near King St W and Queen St S towards Flamborough. Just after 10pm on May 4, my friend and I noticed a large flickering light in the distance that replicated the UFO-like object spotted on April 17 (reported prior). The difference with this one, although we didn't spend as much time analyzing, it caught our attention right away as it, again, looked like a really big, bright, shiny star with the naked eye. I used a Sony HDR-CX455 camcorder (30 x Optical zoom, 1080p HD Video) to capture and zoom in and out on the almost-diamond-like shaped object that appeared to have lights along the exterior edges. Sometimes when I zoomed in and out, it appeared just as a large bright circle, yet other times mimic the look of the traditional UFO shape with lights. It appeared to fluctuate in size. I have several video clips of the object that can be emailed if requested.

Around 22:00 hrs I went outside and looked North and was observing the Big Dipper. At that time I saw several orb like bright figures dancing in the sky above me. At this time I had observed 6 and all were headed South East. At this time I texted my 15 year old daughter to come outside. Upon her arrival we witnessed approximately 6 more of these orb like crafts. Although all headed South East some would quickly accelerate higher up in the sky only to almost bounce back to their original location. After about 20 minutes the activity died down. We decided that we should go back in the house but decided to take a few more minutes to observe. At 22:54 we suddenly observed an enormous boomerang shaped object slightly to the East of our location. I would guess that this object was approximately the width of a football field. This object was approximately 500 feet above us. This object was silent and did not have any lights. I am assuming that it was metallic in colour as it seemed to reflect the night sky. I immediately felt all of the hair on my body stand up. It moved very slowly Southbound. We observed this strange craft for 10 seconds before it vanished completely. At approximately 23:00 hrs we observed a helicopter in our area which was strange for so late at night.

I continued to periodically check the sky and saw more of these objects (looking like satellites) appearing and fading into existence. one by the constellation Orion specifically. I’ve never seen a satellite curve.

Very bright lights in the sky that would stay still, then move in different directions at a slow speed. Some lights would disappear and others would appear somewhere else. One light in particular did not seem to move for over 15 minutes, but it was hard to tell for sure. Many lights were moving and fading in and out, but all staying relatively close. The lights seemed far too bright to be airplanes, and some would remain still for minutes at a time. They had a bid of a reddish colour to them as well.

No craft was seen. 2 small not so loud bangs, Claps, then one loud bang that made dogs in the neighborhood bark. You not only heard the bang but "felt" it. It was a clear night not weather anomalies noted as per environment Canada. This actually shook the house. There is video/audio of said event on reddit if you are looking to hear it. No answers from local media everyone is
