Diamond over Ste Rose du lac, MB · Canada

The report, as filed

It was diamond shaped, high up in the sky, and kept hovering up and down, left to right, diagonally. It was far to high in the sky to be a drone, it didn't go on a trajectory the way a plane or satellite or even shooting star would travel. This thing was hovering. At one point it shot up high in the sky and slowly came back down. The lights were shining what looked like orange/green/purple and bright white. My son says he saw red/blue/bright white. IT DID NOT SHINE LIKE AIRPLANES DO meaning each colour 1 at a time. This was shining all the colours at once, not blinking green then orange then purple, it was all at once. The movement was irrational. And it went from my southern sky on one side of this downward pointing arrow constallation to the western sky, on the other side of this constallation. It zoomed to the west and back so quickly, i leaned forward and ripped the screen off my window, from the force of my head going right, trying to follow and just as quickly was back in the south area. It stayed in its "grid" for lack of a better word, hovering left, right, up and down, and the only time it didn't stay in the same grid was when it shot to the west, and periodically, maybe 10-12 times in the 3 hours I was watching it, it would shoot up high really fast then come back down at a slower speed, sometimes coming back down diagonally. I've seen airplanes in the sky, I've seen different satellites and I've seen shooting stars, bright red balls, all fly in the sky in my 44 years on this planet. This thing was NOT moving in a trajectory. It was going all over the place and stayed there the 3 hours I was watching. I ended up going to bed around 7:15, it was still there but the sky wasn't as black, it was starting to get grey and the things was still brighter in the sky than the stars. I swear this to be the truth, on everything I hold dear in my life. I'm scared. I've never experienced something like this and I see weird but explainable things in the sky often. I tried using my tablet to capture videos but my tablet is not great and it just looked like a star in the sky. I can say this however. It did NOT look like the videos some people sometime post where you see an actual structure in the sky, unmoving with lights. This looked like a star in the sky, but the lights and the colours were like no other star in the sky. It was at least 5 times the size of the northern star and at least 10x brighter. This thing was very bright. It made no sounds that I could hear, it did not land or anything like that. It just kept hovering in different directions, sometimes stayed in place, brightly shinning lights, and occasionally going really up high and slowly coming back down. Only once did it zoom in a blink to the west and back. Please note that although it was technically hovering like a drone, no civilian drones ive ever used or seen, goes that far up in the sky and would shine that bright when that up high. Like I said, this thing was much brighter than any star in the sky
