Formation over Fredericton, NB · Canada

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was driving South East towards Fredericton. Saw 8-10 dim red lights in a shape that was similar to an Octagon, but the shape changed throughout the 10 minute period to more of a zig zag shape. Lights moved slowly. Hard to tell if they were over Fredericton or much further beyond the city. They looked far away to be honest. Lights didn't blink like a plane or helicopter would. They stayed solid red, but they were dim. I almost didn't even see them in the sky and I think at first just assumed they were stars low in the horizon, but realized they were all red shortly after spotting them. Lost sight of them as I got into Fredericton so I was unable to get out of my car for a better look.

Fredericton, NB · Canada

We attempted to view with binoculars and in doing so the image was fuzzy but there was an outward appearance as if this light was in fact three or four separate bright lights joined into one object. There were absolutely no running lights as would be normal for an aircraft or helicopter. There was no discernible noise. The night sky was clear and the air calm. This light travelled on a slow steady and constant rate moving from the west north-west to the east south-east in the direction of the Fredericton International Airport. A distance from our observation location of approximately 12 kms. The airport was active with visible aircraft taking off and in the approach area's. As this bright constant light approached the perimeter air space of the airport it speed which had been constant increased slightly and the entire light disappeared completely from the night sky. There was nothing to indicate the light was an aircraft on an approach for landing. When the bright light literally "switched off" it was still travelling in the same direction and was an estimated height of at least several hundred to a thousand feet in height.
