Light over Bailieboro, ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witness: Retired Canadian Armed Forces/Private Investigator. At approximately 2238hrs while standing in my backyard I noticed a bright orange light appear in the sky to the north. The light almost seemed to be traveling up into the sky before heading southeast and eventually over top of me. It continued on a southeast course over the trees to the east of my property, and eventually out of sight. The bright orange colour of the object immediately caught my eye, as it did not resemble any other satellites or celestial objects I had seen before while star gazing (which I do quite frequently). The light also appeared to be lower and slower than satellites I have seen pass over my home. The light was completely silent and the sighting lasted approximately three minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176997). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
