Engen/Vanderhoof (Canada), BC · Canada
Although my actual strange and unexplainable experience took place almost three years ago, I hope it's not too late to report it and that the information may be useful or helpful to you or others. At the time I was living in my small motorhome/RV which I had set up in the backyard of a friends 5 acre countryside property. I had it parked right behind the small house my friend and his disabled wife lived in so I was able to plug in to the house for electricity, water, etc. We lived about 30 km from the nearst small town and the closest nieghbors were maybe 300-400 meters, so it was quiet and on a clear night there wasn't any artificial light pollution for star gazing. As well most of the trees at the front of the property, where the house and motorhome were situated, had been cut down and lawn planted so we had a good view from horizon to horizon. On the night of the event, I was outside of my RV so I could get better cell phone reception as I was having my weekly phone conversation with my daughter which lived an hour and a half away. By this time it was approx 22:00 and completely dark with a gorgeous clear view of the night sky, I noticed two stars in the eastern part of the sky that seemed to be moving 2-3 inches, from my point of view, to the west and then back to thier original position. This happened a few times in a 2 or 3 minute span, so I told my dauhhter that I would call her back in a couple of minutes so I could concentrate on them and see if they were actualy moving or just my imagination. Within 5 minutes of watching them they had started moving around at distances that confirmed my suspicions, and it wasnt just 2 star but now there was 4 then 5 then 6 and so on, I couldnt believe what I was seeing!! There were stars from all areas and all over the night sky moving across the sky, zig zagging, some just moving in a staight line, some darting everywhere, and all at different rates of speed. I seriously thought I was having some kind of medical issue with my head or eyes or something, as I had never in my life witnessed anything abnormal in life such as ufo's, ghosts's, etc. I ran into my friend's house and told him what I was seeing and to come out and look, as well I picked up his disabled wife in my arms and carried her outside, I wanted as many people as I could get to see this so that maybe people would believe me. Well to make a long story short all three of us watched this show go on for approx. 2 hours and ended up counting over 30 stars at one time moving great distances across the sky, as for the 2 initial stars I first noticed they ended up coming very close to us, it's hard to say for sure but they were'nt more than 300-400 meters off the ground and 10-15 km away from us as the crow flies, they just slowly were cruising along at the same altitude and stopped what i believed was over a nearby indian reservation for 10 mins or so then slowly cruised on and then lost sight of them behind tall trees. I know how this sounds and I did make several calls as this was taking place but everyone I spoke with claimed it was cloudy in thier area and thought I was making some kind of joke. That's my ordeal and to this day I still don't know what to make of it because I didnt see any type of crafts, all they were was lights that looked exactly like stars and except for the two that came close all the rest looked as if they were in space just as if they were normal stars but moved like the were being operated by someone or something. Thanks for listening and if anyone else has ever seen anything similiar please let me know? Cheers (( Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

It was night, but my wife saw the UFO. It was very close to and above us because she saw the 4 windows and structure of the UFO. According to her description, it was hanging over and left after she saw it. The evening was dark, so it was not very easy to see it in the sky. Even I did not see, but from her face and eyes, I know she really saw something.

West Kelowna (Canada), BC · Canada
On Thursday April 27, 2017, at approximately 7:30 pm, in West Kelowna, British Columbia, I was travelling home with my 3 daughters. My 6 year old daughter said, “Daddy, what are those flashing lights in the sky?” I was travelling in the southwest direction and I looked up to my left and I noticed several (approximatley 6) flashing lights up in the sky that appeared to flashing and what I would describe as dancing in the sky. At first I wasn't sure what to make of them. I thought they were some sort of flares or even military aircraft doing some sort of exercise. But since I live in the Okanagan valley and there is no Air Force bases in the area, I knew they were not any of conventional military aircraft. The objects that I was observing were absolutely silent. Given the way these object were moving in the sky, I then realized that what I was witnessing was not a normal or easily explainable occurrence and was most likely Extra-terrestrial in nature. I quickly pulled off to the side of the road and grabbed my phoned\, got out of my vehicle to start video recording the lights. That's when I noticed a second group of (approximatley 4 or 5) that suddenly appeared below the first group. They looked like they were flying closer to Okanogan Lake, before the flew upward to join the first group. The two groups formed two separate formations and proceeded to fly eastward towards Kelowna. I had my camera zoomed in and locked on both groups and continued to record them as they were flying away. Or so I thought. After approximately 20-30 seconds of “recording”, I realized that I didn’t actually hit the record button on my phone. I quickly hit the record button and was able to zoom in on the luminous objects as they were flying away. I was able to record the lights, (which were flying in two groups, one approximately 6, the other approximately 4) for about 30 seconds until they essentially were out of sight. Important points: although it was early evening and the sun was starting to set, there was still plenty of daylight outside. These objects were extremely bright in sky the objects appeared to be well below the clouds when I first noticed them as well as below the tops of the mountains. The second group of lights appeared to be flying lower in the valley near the lake although it did not occur to me at first but what I witnessed I would describe as orange glowing orbs, since I did not observe any sort of metallic craft with any visible lines. Only lights.

Orangeville (Canada), ON · Canada
Driving into Orangeville, Ontario, going south on 2nd line at approximately 23:00 hours my girlfriend and I saw a bright light (like a bright star) southeast of town. It seemed to be hovering over the water tower in center of town. We stopped and watched for about 5 minutes when 6 smaller objects appeared to come out of the bright light and fly in different directions. Each of the six objects had a blue & red light on them. They each flew in erractic up down sideways movements. At this point we got scared and turned around to drive home. My girlfriend saw one that appeared to be following our car and we immedietly went into the house. I went back outside and the object slowly moved over my parents home. Total time I observed the objects was about minutes.

Nanaimo (Canada), BC · Canada
I have seen this craft before. It hovers on top of mount benson in Nanaimo, BC. The first time I seen it, I thought it was a star. Then my husband seen it and said it was flashing lights between white, red and green. I don't have good vision, so I couldn't see that. We watched it for a bit and it moved around a little from side to side or up and down. Then it was gone. Then I seen it again last night April 24, 2017. This is the third time I have seen it there. Same position. Although the this time it did change positions. It kept getting closer to the mountain until it was right at the mountains top or it could have been on the other side of the mountain going down. This time I could see the flashing lights, sometimes they seemed to be brighter. Red, green and white. I watched it on and off for about 30 minutes until it slowly disappeared over the side of the mountain. I'm not familiar with ufos or aircraft. But this seems not average. We have photos and videos but they are very bad quality, as they were taken with an iPhone or cell phone. I will keep looking every night now at the same times to see if this is something that happens frequently.

Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
On Sunday, April 23, 2017, while outside on my deck in Oshawa, Ontario I was admiring clearer skies and looking about for anything unusual. After about one hour coming back outside Noticed about a quarter mile away directly to the west A very high -slow bright white flashing object The intensity of brightness was high and low Without the flashing you would not see it being so high After about 20 to 30 seconds started to film it at 10:35 am I took two short video clips revealing the object with a poor quality It was so high to zoom in full I almost called my neighbor to come see it as I could hear him outside Just continued to film it Also captured it on 5 pictures out of 23 taken Being so high hard to photograph The object took until four minutes to be above my position coming towards the east on a straight flight path above That's when I lost sight of it directly over my roof- Where did it go? Will send you the still shots and clips after sending this report
April 23, 2017 · 1:05 AM · FIREBALL
Richmond (Canada), BC · Canada
Around 1:05 am, I noticed a huge fireball orb in the sky. After zooming in the picture, I noticed something in the middle. The ball never moved an inch, and stayed for about 12 minutes. I found it a little strange it was so close to the airport. Witness does not indicate a date for the sighting, so we have assigned an arbitrary one, until we hear from the witness. PD

Approx. three min after first two faded, a third orange light flew by on the same heading. Both witnesses have extensive backrounds in aviation, one being a former commercial pilot, and the other, an aircraft mechanic.

Cobourg (Canada), ON · Canada
April 19, 2017, Approximately 9:45 pm local time. Location: Cobourg, Ontario, Canada Visibility: clear. Facing east, observed what appeared to be two satellites, moving in tandem, one behind the other, in a due-south direction, approximately 45 degrees between horizon and zenith. Distance between lights approximately that of Mizar and Alioth of the Big Dipper (Big Dipper was conveniently directly above sighting). No sound. Approximately one minute later, both lights were seen travelling in opposite direction, due north, along same trajectory, again in sync but perhaps further apart. Through binoculars, could follow both clearly. Gradually the lights diverged, one continuing due north, the other heading north-east until both faded from view. Observer is a recording engineer with background in printing and publishing. Has also observed a sighting in same location in April 2011, where there were three lights in V-shape travelling at high velocity due west.

Kitchener (Canada), ON · Canada
I went back to my bedroom and grabbed my binoculars. What I saw was a bright white large orb in the centre, with what looked like about 3 smaller more translucent orbs deminishing in size coming out from four the. Enter orbs 4 sides. Creating a cross or diamond shape. It passed in front of clouds, then I could see it pass through the clouds, then it disappeared behind the clouds. It made one more appearance before disappearing for good behind the clouds. It was not flashing and the image remained constant during my viewing. One very bright centre orb with smaller translucent orbs emigrating outward on four sides. My binoculars are 10 x 50 Airforce 288 feet at a thousand yards. The image could not be clearer and did not resemble any know aircraft I am aware of.

Leduc (Canada), AB · Canada
I was looking over a barren field with my girlfriend, we both saw two triangular aircrafts with 3 blinking lights traveling in a very linear direction, Very soon after spotting the aircrafts, one split from the course and turned directly 180 degrees, flying the opposite way in which it had previously, whilst the second aircraft sat still. The aircraft in which turned around, had a light turn on so bright it was blinding, and continued to do so until it had flown down and out of sight, whilst it was flying it was moving in a very wobbly motion as if it was moving up and down very hastily. The second aircraft at this time, turned directly around aswell and flew toward the exact place the first aircraft had, except at extreme speeds and dissapeared quicly, but this second aircraft could be seen 15 minutes later around 11:43PM orbiting the area very far away, There were no further sightings of either aircraft.

Scarborough (Canada), ON · Canada
On March 23, 2017, while on morning break in Scarborough, Ontario I was outside admiring near clear sky. Could see very high seagulls moving about just west above. Then there was one alone which I thought to take one picture to just confirm it It look a little different in movement by the naked eye The time would be 10:02 am # 8462 After about 9 minutes later To my surprise could see north of the roof at 10:11 am Less than quarter mile away and very high - thousands of feet up This long dark vertical object flashing white lights continuously It moved very slow from west to east Seconds after witnessing this pulled out my camera and filmed ASAP It was just flashing on and off moving across my view to the north As soon as it passed the building eastward It slowly changed direction Heading now southeast as I took my last few pictures of it at 10:16 am passing the roof southeast After examining ALL the pictures The first picture [8462 ] to which I thought was a high flying seagull at 10:02 am Is in fact NOT a seagull It is roundish in shape as well different in color/s in appearance The second last picture [ # 8485 ] has captured this unknown long dark vertical object without any flashing lights Last picture [8486] taken illustrates two lights flashing - top and bottom Now I do wonder is this the same object photographed at 10:02 am Both certainly do appear to be quite different in appearance The second one being so high must have had size to it in length These images were taken on a slight zoom being so high You should get the images after this report is submitted Enjoy the images Photo indicates a tiny, blurry, light-colored object. We cannot certify that the object is an authentic UFO. pD

Woodstock (Canada), ON · Canada
I was walking to work, walking south to North, the big Dipper was at my 11 o'clock if my walking path was at 12, between and slightly in front of the stars merak and dubhe of the big Dipper constellation 2 very bright yellowish lights appeared, I had just happened to be looking to my left to check for traffic when I saw them appear, one was in front of the other and had the same brightness, they were separated by maybe 2 inches in my field of view from the ground, neither light moved or pulsated, they stayed constantly bright for maybe 30 seconds then both slowly faded away, the sky was cloudless as I could see the big Dipper fully and closer stars around it, these lights were very bright almost resembling a planes landing lights if looked at from head on, but again like I said they did not move, it was hard to tell the altitude, the size of the lights was maybe half the size of a full moon, it was very cool to see and a great way to start my day, if anyone el! se was looking up at the sky at that time in that direction these lights could not be missed, I've never seen anything like that before.

Ottawa (Canada), ON · Canada
At that time, I thought it was a comet or a meteor crossing the atmosphere, but it occurred to me that it was way to close to earth be neither one of those two. Then the object slowed down. I immediately came to an abrupt stop with my bus to have a better look at this object and realize it was definitely out of this world. When I started to focus more on the object I saw that it was a teal colour. It was an oval shaped and had a transparent see through look to it. Very strange. To try an describe it to the best of my knowledge it was basically like looking at a firefly you see in the woods glowing at night, but this object had a constant glow to it and did not flicker off like a firefly. After quickly glancing at the object, it then pickup up at a phenomenal speed and dashed out to the north east sky and it was gone. The speed that it took off was absolutely phenomenal, just mindboggling. It's as if it went into warp mode, like in Star Trek. Absolutely something I will never forget for the rest of my days. Just to be clear this all happened from the time I first saw the object to when it disappeared was in the matter of 3 to 5 seconds. I had no witnesses on board as I had just finished dropping off a group of teenagers a few minutes prior to my experience.

Saw a white object in the sky toward the northeast. The object was far off and in photos looks elongated vertically and did not appear to be moving. It did not shine like a light but was more solid white in colour. Could not make out a solid shape as it was quite far off, but looked to be wider in the center with elongated parts pointing up and down from the middle point.

Anola (Canada), MB · Canada
I just took my 4 dogs for a walk in the woods. We got to a clearing and looked around for signs of deer or coyotes, when all the dogs looked up. I looked up and saw, to my surprise, two black spheres above our heads. I gasped a took my phone out and snapped a bunch of pictures. They zoomed north to the opposite tree line and hovered over the trees. Then they were just gone. Only one of the photos shows them. Of course, it's not clear, but you can see more than two. Like I said, they were black spheres that were reflecting the sunlight. They were about the size of a medicine ball or bigger. No sound. They seemed to be spinning, but it was so fast that I couldn't really see much. We spoke with the witness, and she seemed to us to be exceptionally sober-minded. We suspect that she is a highly reliable witness. We have requested copies of her photos, which she saws are not very distinct. PD
