Triangle over Garson, ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was late in the evening and while watching a video on how to perform a repair to my motorcycle, I decided to get my motorcycle shop manual from my garage. Upon exiting my back door, I saw two very distinct sets of 3 lights in the sky just north of my location. The lights were a lightly pulsating orange or red, and each set held a triangular configuration. The two groups of lights had the characteristics of a pair of aircraft flying in a formation, synchronized but independent of each other. However there was absolutely no sound of any kind. The sky that evening was completely overcast due to inclement weather, and no generic aircraft, satellites, other celestial bodies could be identified. I live close to a community airport, so any aircraft that might be flying in the area would easily be identified, but that night, I heard nothing... There was barely a breath of wind which ruled out any possibility of these objects being paper lanterns floating on the breeze. Further to that fact, no paper lantern, or group of lanterns, has the ability to maneuver in the same manner as these two objects. The objects continued on an upward trajectory towards the west, disappearing into the cloud cover. I waited for a couple of minutes in hopes of hearing the delayed sonic boom of fast moving aircraft, or at least the distant hum of a propulsion system. But as stated, there was absolutely no sound. I had also wondered if these objects could have been commercial drones, but that's a simple and blatant "no". A drone would certainly produce a sound, especially at a range that would reflect the size of these two objects. I stood watching for a moment, then attempted to get a photo of the occurrence, but the camera on my phone wasn't able to focus properly, and only captured a "blob" of orange lights. A brief video that I was able to get, only shows one of the groups of lights fading into the distant cloud cover. The other had already disappeared out of sight. (Please excuse my vulgar language in the video) After much thought and reflection, I have not been able to find a logical answer to explain this sighting. I am not so closed minded to think that Earth is the only planet in the cosmos (or beyond) to carry intelligent life, and I certainly feel that there are older, more advanced civilizations in existence, that survive extra-terrestrially. Were these two craft of alien origin? I cannot be sure. But in the most basic sense of the term, these flying objects were unidentified to me. Thus, I have experienced a UFO sighting, and it was an exciting experience!
