Disk over Orangeville, ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were driving North on Highway 10, just north of Orangeville, Ontario, when I happened to see something very bright in the sky above the countryside that caught my eye. It was around 18:15, daylight, with partial low-level cloud cover. The singular object appeared to be bright white, standing out clearly against the sky. It wasn't completely round, more like a rounded disc shape (the brightness halo was the biggest feature). It definitely did not look nor behave like an airplane - no wings, no elongated body, no contrail etc. It was around the same altitude as the clouds, roughly 5-10km away. I immediately asked my wife if she could see it too, and she confirmed that she could. It was moving in a slow, smooth, almost cruising manner, in a Northwest direction. After about 30s it disappeared behind a cloud.
