Toronto (Canada), ON · Canada
A very bright yellow light has been appearing in the sky in the same location (above a building across) since this afternoon. It stays still in the air without any movement and sometimes disappear in its place and sometimes slowly flies away towards north. I noticed this for more than 5 times during the past 3hours. Once two helicopters flew towards it and it suddenly flew away from that location. The light is steady, no blinking. I've got a short video of it if that helps.

I saw a bright light moving through the sky, which I thought was the International space station and it was traveling from a north east direction heading southwest. I continued to watch it for about 1 minute expecting the light to diminish as it travelled further southwest, however it stopped and remained stationary for approximately 1 minute and then just disappeared. The night sky was crystal clear. The path the light was travelling was between Venus to the west and the moon to the east when it stopped directly in the middle of both Venus and the moon.

Was travelling south of Regina when was looking into the night sky when I noticed 7 objects in the sky to the south .I started to video them as the started to dissapear across the sky at a very high rate of speed .one was to the east now one to west perfection.space was perfect one started coming from Far East travelling to the west all 3 went into a perfect dimond shape then the top one took off at a high rate of speed the other two were going back and forth at a very fast pace the far west one has now disappeared. The other craft did a back and forth motion and went across the sky as the final one is now gone

Ile Perrot (Canada), QC · Canada
From the bedroom window at the rear of the apartment, diagonally across from the building hovering over the trees appeared a triangular-shaped object with lights around it that seemed to shimmer. As it remained motionless, we wrote it off as likely being some sort of tower lights, a warning apparatus for airplanes in the vicinity. The only thing is that we had no memory of such an apparatus in that location which seemed not that far off from us. I came back several times to observe it and the object was still in the exact same spot, so I assumed that it really was some stationery warning light. At around 11:30 PM just before going to bed, I looked out the bedroom window and to my surprise the object was no longer in sight. It is now exactly 9:05 PM on Friday, March 6th, 2020. About an hour ago, I looked out of the bedroom window and to my astonishment, the very same triangular object surrounded by shimmering lights was back in the sky behind the building, this time almost directly in front of the bedroom window at a point in the sky where a low-flying plane might fly. However, the object hovered and remained hovering in that position. About ten minutes ago, I went back to the bedroom window and observed that the triangular object has now moved about thirty degrees to the right at about the same level in the sky where I noticed it an hour or so ago. This is certainly no light in a tower and it is certainly not an airplane. No airplane can hover in the sky for an hour and then move to another position in the sky and hover there for how much longer, I don’t know. I have to conclude that we have spotted a UFO. Very strange.

Early morning of March 1st, 2020, about 4am to 6am I had a sighting of a slow moving … something in the eastern sky. It was a bright object. Facing east, it was just a couple of seconds to see, with my own eyes, that it's just not all stars, in that clear night sky. I detected an unusual phenomenon through the left side window. A moving star-like object. It was a plane, I thought at first. However, this object was not blinking and no colour. It was moving north eastward-ish. I though that that plane is pretty low for that “Chicago – UK” flight path! And I am realizing that it is, also, going too, too slow comparing to the other planes that have been regularly passing by. This shiny object seemed to stop, and not reached to most left side of the window frame. It is still very visible, high in the sky and at a big distance from me. It is clearly above the tree-line and hilltops, from my perspective. A couple of seconds of pause, then there was a slight movement: It was reversing! Very slowly, it was going back, southward on the line it was on. It did not much go up and down. It was not bouncy. Eventually this object moved up higher in the sky, as to reach the top edge of my left-side window. To keep viewing this thing, I had to "quietly" move my chair, nearly 2 feet closer toward the window. Now I, possibly, am gazing some other things, like few small reddish pulses descending and ascending as if dropping and returning to that bright object. After a short break from my watching post, I resumed viewing and studying that bright object. It was still visible! Now, I am thinking that it will be daylight soon. So after another short length of time I waited for this thing to zoom away. I wanted it to zoom away. It did not. It seemed too busy at what "its/they're" doing. Now being thoroughly exhausted I, finally, left my post.

We were sitting out on our porch and noticed a light rectilinear in shape and it split from one to three spots then back again. It also flashed different colours in a sequence fashion. This continued on for a while. This is the third time we have seen it this week!

Calgary, AB · Canada
On Tuesday February 25, 2020, at precisely 6:10 AM MST, I was leaving my residence and decided to look directly upwards into the night sky to observe the stars. It was a compulsion I had that I normally do not perform. At this time, the sky was clear and still dark. There was no moon present, at least not in my visual field of view. I noticed a moving object high in the sky – at what I would estimate to be in the high upper atmosphere or beyond – I would say a lower satellite. And that is what I thought, it was a satellite traversing from west to east (measured from 260° W going towards 80°E). The observation was made close to 50.923767, -114.122889 – Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I was looking directly up and possibly 2° from the vertical and facing North – I want to stress, I was looking nearly upwards. My view to the north was blocked by my house and my back was to the south – this is important later. At first I thought it was a satellite. Having observed satellites for many years (being in my 50’s), I know what one looks like as they traverse the sky – and this one looked no different than them. There were no flashing lights, it remained white without changing color and remained the same magnitude of brightness. What caught my eye was it was being followed by another moving light, at the same pace. Not being able to judge height, and therefore distance, all I could do was record the time gap – approximately 5 seconds. Stranger now, was a third, then a fourth. I had counted 16 consecutive lights. All matched the same speed and course. NO DEVIATIONS. There is no telling how many lights previous to my looking up had passed. Also being late for work, there is no telling how many more were still in the cue. These were not planes flying formation as this was a long linear line and no contrails. The lights covered an arc angle of approximately 30 degrees in the 5 seconds. This was absolutely not a series of meteors. Too slow and no trails as well as brightness never wavered. I have observed many meteors, both high atmosphere burn outs and low atmosphere brilliant "burn outs". This was none of them. I am a professional engineer of 30 years who prides myself in being open but logical. I thought that these could be satellites, so I checked the satellite map when I got to work. Enclosed is a snapshot of the map (available on request). My interpretation of the map shows NO satellites (at least 16 equi-distanced) directly above me from west to east. The map was set to the time of my observation. I attempted to take a video, but it was too dark and the phone was not able to record the lights.

St. Albert (Canada), AB · Canada
Looking to the sky I see a black form moving slowly across the sky. The form have many redish lights quiet visible from the ground. (Bright than plane lights). It was quiet low to the ground but still a few apartment buildings in the air. The shape was like a badly written Uppercase L, the bottom of the L was angled downwards a bit like an heronian angle. The form itself was pretty big and also made no sound. I did try to follow it, but couldn't find it after it went behind some trees.

North Battleford (Canada), SK · Canada
At approximately 8:55pm, saw what I thought was a bright star, but it was moving. Called my husband outside and we watched it go at the same speed, it stopped, got brighter, than hovered in a circular motion for about 15 seconds. It shot up, than towards the left. Stopped again, hovered, than flew quickly towards the bottom star of the big dipper, where we lost track of it.

Val-des-Monts (St-Pierre), QC · Canada
I was awoken in the middle of the night by bright colored lights flashing against the wall above our closet (cathedral ceilings). I laid in bed an opened my eyes to see the shape of the object reflected off the wall, which was oval with pointed ends and several round lights. There was also a faint humming sound. I was not scared, but it felt like, as soon “it” realized I was awake, it left instantly. I didn’t even have time to sit up in bed, or run for my camera. I had been in deep sleep, and was able to fall right back alseep (how odd).

Barrie (Canada), ON · Canada
Once it was out of sight two more came in formation following the exact same path as the 9 earlier. The last one slowly glowed very very bright then dimmed down to look like a satellite. It did this several times as they followed the path of the other nine. But definitely was in formation. It looked like this . . . . . . . . . . . Heading to the right>>>>> I looked up on a satellite tracker and there was nothing like this formation.

Ardmore (Canada), AB · Canada
Observed a low flying triangular craft travelling south towards the hamlet of Ardmore. I pulled over to get a better look and couldn’t hear any engine or noise at all. The craft was as said triangular but with the points flattened. A white or sometimes reddish light was at each of the flattened points. After a minute or two, bathe thing had travelled further south, and I continued on my way home, North.

I was on my deck at 6:30 am and I saw lights in formation and also some in triangular shape going from west to east. I also saw a satelite cross path going south to north. The lights were as bright as the stars. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Campbell River (Canada), BC · Canada
Observed at least 30 triangular (boomerang )like objects traveling In a NE line formation on after the other from horizon to horizon until out of sight. One after the other they would become visible. At the end of the line travelling NE they would not be visible. At one point an object with flashing lights appeared to cross the path in between the objects.

Victoria (Canada), BC · Canada
02-20-2020 I live in Victoria British Columbia on Vancouver Island and was up at 6:00 am. to let my dog out to do her morning business and I follow her out and stand on guard to watch for deer sleeping in our back yard. It was still dark out so I looked up to view the stars when I immediately noticed two white lights extremely high up overhead travelling side by side moving in a North-Easterly direction. I thought that was unusual except immediately following the same path, elevation and speed was literally a convoy of white lights in single file following the two side by side lights. I started counting them but stopped at ten and looked in the direction from which they were coming from which was the South-West. I saw a long continuous line coming one after the other and at that point I ran into my bedroom and excitedly called for my wife to come see this string of lights. I ran back outside and was quickly joined by my wife and we both watched this, what seemed like an almost endless ! string of lights travelling what I can only assume is in space. The time I began watching the first time was 6:05 am. and the parade of lights lasted until the very last one in the column was at 6:16 am. I have no idea how many of these lights the were but I would estimate well over one hundred. I don’t know if there were more lights pre-ceding the column when I observed the first two but truly an amazing site to behold, plus I finally have a witness this time. My dog at one point was growling and looking up at me and seconds later I pointed out to my wife a jet airliner travelling towards us and the column but at a bisecting North-West direction heading South-East and far below the column of lights. I don’t know if the captain saw this column but likely wouldn’t say so even if he did.

Ignace (Canada), ON · Canada
30 km west of ignace Ontario. My bf and I stopped to take a stretch from our drive. He happened to ear something and glanced around to notice a light moving then soon followed the long line of lights in the dark morning sky. Wondering if he was seeing things, he quickly told me to look at the sky. I was shocked and freaked out .. I managed to catch the last 25plus lights fly in a line headed north

Rossland (Canada), BC · Canada
I noticed what I thought was a sattlelight in the sky to the west of Orion but it disappeared before I could point it out to my BF. Then another appeared on the same trajectory it too disappeared soon after it crossed below Orion. A third appeared and disappeared in the same spot. We saw a total of 10 the last 3 changed trajectory upwards closer to the Orion consultation. The times were different between 10 and 20 seconds between each light.
