Fireball over Kirkland, QC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
An orange coloured orb or fireball was brightly glowing in the sky. Almost as if the fireball was shining in the sky as its shining glares slowly moved. The fireball seemed to have been hovering over lac St. Louis. It appeared to slowly descend diagonally at a 45 degree angle going East. Once it began to fizzle out another fireball/orb would appear in the exact same spot as where it first appeared and would do the exact same thing as the other fireball/orb once again. Also, as the fireball/orb was making it’s descent it also seemed as if it was faintly giving off some sort of vapour trail behind it. This had gone on for at least 45 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161230). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
