Circle over Lachute (Canada), QC · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My friends girlfriend was first to see the object which at first looked like a fireball going from west to east but after 10-15 seconds the circular object was just bright orange in color and it seemed to have slowed down and did a circular motion a couple of times and then continued going eastward and disappeared behind some clouds. It was dark out and the stars were out but there were also some clouds to the east. We filmed it after the first 15 sec of viewing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164385). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
