Unspecified over Buck Creek, AB · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Low-flying, slow moving, very large at close range object seen. I work in a remote area of Alberta doing security for the oil field. I had my mother with me that night and was watching down a dirt road to an oil field plant when I noticed three red blinking lights moving across the sky at a distance. My mother and I were both confused as we knew it was not a plane and it stayed in a single line formation. When it went behind the trees we drove a little further down the road to a field where we got a better view. I videotaped both times. At this new location if it was much closer. There was no visible moon nearby so it was very very dark but I could tell and I was certain that it was one extremely large object moving very slowly. Due to my fear and confusion we did not follow any further but watched it until it went out of sight. I found the local police and they were able to confirm about a week later that there is no reported military aircraft or otherwise that should’ve been in the sky at that time on that date. This is left me extremely confused yet curious as to what I saw. As stated I do possess a couple of videos and would be willing to share if someone can help me figure out what this is. I have tried to slow my videos down and take photos. When slow down the lights are all different colours of red, blue, green, and yellow. But I cannot see any shape behind them as there’s too much pixelation or what looks like dust particles when I blow it up.
