Sphere over Edmonton, AB · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving Northbound on highway 2 from Nisku. Approaching 41 avenue, an object flying South from DT Edmonton towards my location attracted my attention. I was close to the airport and thought this is an airplane going to land. I kept following the approaching object and was waiting to see a silhouette of an airplane. Surprisingly I didn’t get it. Instead the object flew on my left side and I had a good chance to see a lot of details. It was a sphere approximately 10 meters in diameter with six symmetrical, identical cone like-spikes. One of the spikes was pointing to the flying direction, another one in the back, one on the top, one on the bottom, one to the left and one to the right. It was a sunny day, the object was shiny silver in colour but not mirror-reflecting. No sound heard, no trace observed. The object was flying at the same height and at a speed a little faster than an airplane landing.

Looking up as it was a very clear sky I saw a shadow of a v shaped object flying from the north to the south over top of me it was big. No lights and no sound. I didn't get any pictures of it as it only was going by for a few seconds.

The time was about 8:45pm, still full daylight and the sun was pretty west. The object was moving from east to west, and below the cloud-line, (although there were not alot of clouds around, only to the west, so the object was mostly seen in a clear sky.) The object moved silently, in a fixed position, (meaning it did not rotate in any direction), maintained a steady speed which was not particularly fast by any means, and also maintained a straight line with no change in altitude, or side-to-side movement, indicating it was not being affected by wind gusts. Its lack of any kind of movement other than its straight path from east to west allowed me to rule out balloons and birds, as well, I ruled out it being a drone based off of the fact that it stretched such a large distance in its path, and in my admittedly limited knowledge of drones, there is a limit to how far they can go, (and I believe there are some laws about drone use in the city.) To the naked eye, it looked like a black blob, I estimated the size would have been the same as a small vehicle. There was no sun reflection, (although the sun was on the opposing side to where we were), nor were there any lights.

On 26th of April evening at around 10:30 just after I finished meditation on the deck of the workplace at the start of night shift I observed a triangular craft hovering directly over my head and slowly gliding away right after. It had three white light under in each corner. It produced no sound was a rainy night and craft was directly under the clouds so I could clearly see that it was a physical object that looked very extraordinary. I worked as a social worker with kids that are in vulnerable sector so I was absolutely not under influence of anything. Same night I woke up at 3am and observed a childlike figure standing in the room where I was sleeping and I remember attempting communicate with it that went through some sort of mind to mind image projection type of way. I don’t remember much after and what I remember I can’t even convince myself that it’s real due to how extraordinary it was and I’m not sure whether it’s connected or not to my sighting but part of me feels like it may be. My Apple Watch recorded me being awake for two hours and I have no recollection of it. If you need more information best way to reach me out is through email.

I was outside on my balcony having a cigarette with my mom, when out of nowhere we both got knocked over by a super strong gust of wind, as we fell down we both saw a circular/oval shaped object zoom over top of our house, just barely high enough to go over the house, and moved so quickly it was gone before we could even stand back up. The really odd thing, there was absolutely no sound coming from it. After filling in the rest of the form I'm coming back to add more as I didn't know the electrical issues we experiance were related, we were without power for about 15 minutes after the incident, we figured we just had an electical surge and had to wait for it to come back. Also our cat was freaking out and didn't want anything to do with us when we came back inside.

Sighting Report “Ship of Light” above Edmonton, AB, Canada, Oct. 1, 2022, just before 8 pm. Alone, I was observing the south, west and north sunset sky from my backyard deck in the Parkview neighborhood of west-central Edmonton, AB at dusk. I noticed the first stars were coming out, so for some reason I stood and looked east over the house through very good quality binoculars, Nikon Monarch 7, 8x42. At about 45 degrees elevation due east, apparently high over the centre of the city, I immediately spotted and was riveted by an unmoving, glowing ovoid, similar in size to Jupiter, but different in shape and (changing) colours. The colour differed markedly from anything I have ever seen in all my decades of sky watching, so I was instantly energized and focused. I am familiar with how the usual planets look through these binos. Saturn is a beautiful little creamy disc. My first thought was that this new object looked weird, wrong, like a double-size Saturn seen through smokey skies—a disc, creamy amber, changing subtly to more orange-amber as I watched for 10 seconds or so. But I instantly recognized that it was too big, the wrong colour, and in the wrong spot to be Saturn. As it changed colour, and as the over all weirdness of it sunk in I realized I was definitely looking at a “UFO”. I shifted position to steady the binos, but, of course, when I looked again seconds later the object was gone. I scanned systematically with the binos for a little while (a minute?) and luckily the glowing disc reappeared in the same spot, same size and shape but redder this time. I was absolutely fascinated because it looked just like a so-called “Ship of Light” from the Carlos Diaz film. As I watched for a minute or two, the disc shifted gradually from orange to reddish-amber, to red, to magenta, to violet, then finally to pure purple. Amazed and absolutely focused on absorbing the sight, I watched as the supposed ‘craft’ wavered somehow for a split second then suddenly shrank to a point of white light and winked out, reminding me of switching off an old tube tv. The ‘craft’ did not reappear. The way it quaked, shrank and disappeared in a spark of light instantly confirmed to me that this was a real, anomalous phenomenon, probably freakin’ aliens, as it were. The event lasted no more than 5 minutes and ended at 8 pm. No chance to take pix or video, sadly. Estimated altitude would be a big guess, but “over 10,000 ft.”would be a safe bet. Guess at craft size would be “like the large Diaz-Mexican Ships of Llight”. Say at least 50ft., but more likely 100 to 200 ft. Too far away to sure of size or distance, but the impression was of decent size and height. The light emitted was soft, not dazzling. The craft was stationary when under my observation. This was the second good sighting over Edmonton I have made through binoculars in the last few months. I will write up my late July sighting shortly.
