Sphere over Torbay, NL · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 3:33 I was woken by my dog. I put him out to pee in the front yard. While I was waiting for him to come back in I stood at the doorway, watching. At 3:35 a white orb shot by. It was following the path of the road, heading east towards the harbour. It was bright and white, shining like a star (blurred edges). It was approximately 3 feet in diameter and hovered 4-5 feet above the pavement. It was completely silent and sped by so quickly that, had I blinked at that exact moment, I would have missed it. The next day I tried to replicate the speed (this road is narrow, 30km/hr limit with speed bumps) and could not get close. I surmised that it was travelling 100-120km/hr
