Walking down driveway, in a southeasterly direction, looking at near full moon, spotted bright light object from south heading north under the moon. Brightness was almost like Jupiter, a near yellow in colour. My initial thought it was a satellite or ISS, but not in correct direction for ISS. -Possibly was "a small plane" at 1000m in elevation, but no coloured running lights just a bright light that faded after nearly 10 seconds. Like watching some satellites disappearing into the umbra of the earth Definitely not an airliner. -Possibly it was a satellite, but too fast. -Possibly a meteor but too slow and no tail. I have lived here more than 3 years and make it a habit of watching the skies, and this was odd.

I told my father to look but he didn't see it, being 83. Thought i was seeing things, I told him what i just seen. I'm sure if you contacted Mount Hope airport in Hamilton, the prvt jet would of been on the radar. Just after or around 2pm ....heading north/northeast over the city of Hamilton.

It looked like a star but it was cruising along at the same altitude and speed as a helicopter. It made no noise and had no flashing lights on it like a helicopter or airplane would have. I watched it fly overhead coming the west heading east over a 5 minute time period.

Sunday, Sept 11, 2016, 12:05 AM, Ottawa, Ontario, Latitude: 45°18'N. Longitude: 75°39'W. I woke up about midnight and went over to the bedroom window to adjust the venetian blind. I saw a bright light in the sky, much bigger than any star, about 10 degrees above the horizon. It seemed to be somewhat horizontally oblong in shape and not moving at first. Then it started moving, slowly at first, then picking up speed, going from West to East. Finally, it crossed the visible horizon and going at quite a clip, it seemed to be about one or two miles away. It wasn't going much faster than a small airplane not too far away. But the light was much bigger that would be attached to any airplane which usually has more than one light. The window was open but there was no sound. There are small airplanes and helicopters that fly over all the time but I have no trouble hearing them even when the window is closed. It was not possible to discern any definite outline since the object was shinning so bright. The main oblong light was white with a slight bluish tint. There was also and just a tiny bit smaller, and more perfectly round, red light, that pulsed on and off about once every second, in the middle of the object. There have been previous sightings by myself in this area of the sky.

My husband took our dog out for his nightly bathroom routine. In the sky, travelling from SE to NW at approximately a 45 degree angle from the horizon, he saw red orbs travelling at a pace like a small plane and he called me out to see them. There was absolutely no associated noise with these orbs passing at intervals of approximately 30-45 second intervals - the preceding orb would still be visible when the next was starting its path and there was no deviation in the arc of the path nor the speed of the movement. On one occasion, there were 2 lights travelling together but spaced apart to a distance that would appear too great for both lights to belong to one recognizable source.

Jasper (Canada), AB · Canada
hello, I was with my girlfriend that night and we decided to go watch the stars by the river about 6 km south of town looking north, so i parked with the back of my car facing the river. We stayed in the car laying in a bed we made watching. All of a sudden I was watching the stars and a star appeared right in front of me, a very bright star that had the brightness of a planet. So i kept looking and I told my girlfriend to look at it to swearing that I had just seen it appear. We both started looking at the star for about 3 or 4 minutes when the star just disappeared. We kept looking at the spot where the star was until it re appeared again. it appeared and disappeared every 3 or 4 minutes for about 15 minutes staying in the same spot the entire time. Then, as I was looking at it bright again for a few minutes. I was looking at it and all of a sudden it flashed brightly three times, to then dim away to more of a dim orange light and immediately started moving south, hovering all over jasper slowly and appeared to be loosing altitude but was traveling a straight line, getting so close and so low that I could almost make a shape. it disappeared almost directly over our car. For about five minutes, I kept looking to see if it would re appear right where in was, almost directly over our car on the East side of town. All of sudden a loud bang came from out of the trunk area on our car like something landing or hitting. And then we turned to each other asking if had both heard the noise, we thought maybe it was an animal but our trunk was facing the water and the noise was far to loud for it to be a small animal. then we heard more noises coming from out trunk, so I jumped in the drivers seat to leave. When I turned on lights and started driving my girlfriend looked in the mirror and said that there was nothing she could see. Also, our dog was in the car and did not react to any of this, even the noises coming from the trunk.

I live in southwestern West of London Ontario Was just outside having a smoke. Seen a strange orange light coming up behind the tree line to my east. Seen another on farther up in the sky. Got my binoculars out and took a closer look. Arms on the body of the truck to keep it steady. They were very far away. They went up on about a 5 degree angle and then disappeared. Each light stayed visible for about 2 minutes.But when they were about a 1/3 of the way they were dropping something, white globes. seen this on at least 2 occasions.They were not planes and they were not flares. The Orange globes were very large. I would say 4 times the size of Venus with the naked eye in the sky.They were large enough in my binoculars to see it was some kind of structure, not a point of light. Seen one after another exact same pattern. Seen 5 or 6 in a row. Don't know how many there were before I went out. Time frame was about 10:10 pm on September 5 2016.They also seems to be brighter orange on their bottom.

Had to retrieve an object from my car and noticed the light in the southeast sky over Lake Simcoe. It was flashing green/red/gold in no concerning pattern. It would rise then go left and right. There was only one. When I tried to video it, the camera would not pick it up, but the camera picked up stars near the object. It suddenly rose to a high height and then just disappeared. I'm a firefighter and my spouse is la stay at home mom.

This is a report of what I just witnessed at 8:46pm PDT, and again at 9:06pm PDT, on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016, while watching two cruise ships on a web cam. While watching a cruise ship go past a web cam, situated at Columbia Beach, Parksville, BC, Canada; I saw, at first one, and then at least two more, lights flying across the sky from right to left, which would be roughly east to west. The camera faces more or less north. Here is a link to the camera: http://www.bigwavedave.ca/webcams.php?cam=2 The first cruise ship was the 'Nieuw Amsterdam' at 8:46pm. (Yes that's how they spell it) Moments after the last light went to the west, it appeared as though several (Perhaps 3) dimmer lights went from west to east, or left to right, directly over the ship. I hope to include a file (PeterD.zip) with representative photos of the day and night view from this camera, as well as the paths that the lights took. As the second cruise ship, the 'Coral Princess' passed, at 9:06pm, a similar display occurred, but with only one light. It also passed in both directions. As you will see from the edited photos (Sorry no actual shots of the lights), the lights did not stay illuminated across the entire field of the camera. It appeared as though they were only interested in /illuminated when close to, the cruise ships. As this camera switches from normal colour to low light when darkness falls, the actual brightness of the objects/lights is impossible to gauge. All I can say, is that I thought I had seen a meteor at first. But after the entire display, I can't imagine how that many meteors traveling in both directions could have occurred in such quick succession. This report is true and factual to the best of my ability to recall. ((name deleted)) in Nanaimo.

On Friday, Sept. 02/16 - I was taking some photos of an air-show when I saw something else in the sky behind me. It looked like a triangular piece of Styrofoam flipping and floating through the air, so I snapped a few shots. Once I had gone inside and put the photos on my computer, I couldn't really make out what the object really was, so I used a sharpening tool on my photo editing software, and found very odd results. I did the same edit to another photo of the airplanes from the air-show and nothing peculiar there. Something is very odd and suspicious within the flight patterns of the white object I saw. I am not sure what this is, or what it means and I would like some opinions or answers here please.

Pulled over and saw 3 lights with 1 pulsing light between the 2nd and 3rd light from the left. I would estimate it was 200 feet away and maybe 100 feet in the air. There was no noise and it didnt move the whole time. The lights were a difuse yellow.

It was the night of Friday, Sep 2, 2016. After a long day of work, I retired to my bed and ready to sleep. I also had a lunch meet-up appointment with my buddy on the next day so I went to bed by midnight, which was earlier than my usual Friday night sleep time. Perhaps sometime at 1 or 2 am, I was awake but still in my bed. There was a bright white light emitting from my 4 o'clock (my head is at 12 o'clock position as a reference). The light came from a white ball of light. It was so bright that my eyes were filled with tears and I had to turn my head slightly to the left to avoid it. The light was so white and bright like it was coming from either a high power flood light or the sun. It must be noted that although the washroom light was on during the night and it was in the vicinity of my bed, it was a energy saving light bulb and its colour was yellowish dim. I remember that right before I turned my head, there was a tingling sensation in my breathing tube traveling upward between my collar bone to my jaw. It was itching and I remember that I brushed my neck with both hands downward. I don't remember seeing any entities or physical contacts during the entire event and I was laid down on my bed the entire time; I also dont remember if my lower body was immobile. The next day, I got up with the sense of a bit restless but didnt give much thought. My friend later noticed that I was behaving a little bit agitated while I was looking for a parking spot at mall. It could be the result of the event or perhaps it was stress related. But our lunch was the last meat I have eaten for the past three months. Somehow that encounter changed my diet habit and I dont find red meat and chicken appetizing anymore. My diet has become almost vegetarian. I do eat fish and seafood from time to time, but I know I can also live without them. My weight dropped and I felt more healthy and my brain more active for all these months. What really blew my mind was a physical evidence that I cannot simply treat this as a dream or human psychological response to stress. This event had left a physical mark on my chest. I found it very similar to the scoop mark left on some of the abductees' bodies. It has been three months since the event and that mark still remains in its original shape and colour. There is no other physical symptoms, pain or itching coming from it. Of course, it wasnt there before and no scratch cannot heal in three months. I don't sense it was a malevolent encounter and I have not had another one since then, or at least any that I can remember.

At approximately 2:30 am, in Alberta, Canada, on the highway 16 corridor, between Vegreville and Vermilion, I witnessed what appeared to be an orange flame-looking object, traveling westbound and the object made no noise (appeared to be the size of if you look at a full moon at its highest point in the sky, you take that size and reduce it by a third) It appeared to be a little north of my position the distance traveled was at approximately 30-45 degree inclination it took about a minute to travel that distance.

Did anyone else have a sighting in Toronto, Sunday night between 10-10:30PM? Approximately 10PM EST, Sunday August 28, 2016, over Newmarket, north of Toronto, Canada, two of us were sitting in the backyard facing East (see the photo below where the sun is rising the next morning with StarTracker Lite App superimposed to show the sky from Sunday night). Traveling from North to South (left to right in the picture above) across the eastern sky at a speed that was like a shooting star was a craft that was oval in appearance, seemingly wide like a plane, at a height approximating what a commercial jet would be flying overhead. From our sitting position on the backyard deck, it passed slightly above the trees as it sped South for a count of “1 and 2 and…” then continued with its view obstructed by the trees in a slightly wider field of view than the photo above. Initially we asked ourselves if this could be a meteorite but having already seen two a little earlier, it was clearly uncharacteristic of a meteorite. It was oval as if it might have wings but they were not perceptible wings. It was more like an energy pulse extending to each side like wings. It appeared as a quickly pulsating, oscillation with long, oval arch to each side. The rapid pulsing to each side of its center was extremely fast. Imagine for a moment, as if the pattern of a tiger’s stripes was energetically oscillating at an extremely fast rate. That is how it appeared to me, though to Alison sitting beside me, it was more like a subdued yet oval light swishing across the sky in a dark halo surrounding it. Unlike the meteorite that arched down from the sky towards the horizon like the two meteorites that we witnessed earlier, this UAP flew straight across the sky at a speed that is comparable to a meteorite. The energy was electric. The sky was the clearest we have seen all summer. Approximately 30-minutes later, at 10:32pm, we saw exactly the same phenomenon in the same exact line of vision, but this time traveling from South to North. Notably, it was moving approximately at half the speed of the original sighting for a count of “1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and…” then the trees obstructed our view. At that speed, it was speeding much faster than a jet fighter would across the sky. There was no sound at all. Again, there was an electric, energetic feel to the energy filling the air, possibly our own excitement from what we saw. This is the sky photographed on my iPhone 5s taken immediately after. Though the phone was in my hand, the craft moved much too quickly to take a shot. I believe these are the solar systems and stars that were visible, though I am not 100% certain of their exact placement, according to the StarTracker Lite App on my phone. Very grainy shot, but it offers perspective of where we were sitting and what we saw pass across our field of view. The next morning at approximately 7:30am I went outside to photograph the sun rising in the exact same spot we witnessed the sighting Sunday night, to have a clear perspective of where we had witnessed the UAPs for this report. Upon downloading the images to my computer, one of the shots taken had a bright spot above the sun. When enlarged, two objects are revealed. What is particularly interesting is that the seeming light source is at the top, north side of the spheres and they exhibit a shadow to the bottom south side. While I have won awards for my photography and work in television, I am not an expert with Photoshop nor do I have proper tools for analysis. My question to the readers out there: Is this image typical of lens flair? Is it something else that is naturally explainable? Or, is this a genuine capture of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon or UFO? That daylight photo aside, what we saw Sunday evening took our breath away. Never before have I seen anything like that or even read about craft resembling what we saw.

Exactly 10:15 pm, driving east on highway, with 2 other cars ahead and 1 behind. It was hot, muggy, humid with patches of fog in air. A flash of light straight ahead which was about 1-2 miles ahead, was thought to be lightning was brief, then light lit up the right side of road ahead of cars, and lasted longer around 3 mins. It was a brilliant white light which cut through the haze and fog, with a focal point that showed it was landing or hovering, and was gone as fast as it appeared. It was out of the ordinary, the area was on the outskirts of city, trees, bush and farm along the highway, the two cars put on brakes ahead, and stopped as light appeared. Therefore, they must of noticed how strange this light appeared. Also, I slowed to a stop, and car behind. After incident all cars turned left and continued onto city, without investigating including self. Shrugged it off as lightning in that brief period, until reached home when a strange feeling that witnessed a rare event was convinced it was unidentified, as to the reactions of other drivers also.

I was taking pictures from my attic window of the southwest view of Saturn, Mars, and Antares which appeared last night in a curved line. I gave the camera some zoom. A major airport lies in that direction. Twice I had to wait for airplanes to exit the frame. In one photo (shutter speed 1 sec), the airplane is still in the frame and appears like a blurred, slightly elongated light, as would be expected. I took 16 photos. I chose the photo that showed Mars and Saturn at its clearest. Then I did post-processing to improve contrast and saturate the colors, so that Mars's redness was fully evoked. As I began the post-processing, I noticed a streak in the upper left. I cleaned my computer screen, but the streak was still there and moved with the photo. I then feared I must have a scratch on my lens. I checked the other 15 photos--no streak. Then I enlarged the photo to see a disk-like object with six lights--3 pairs of lights that are reddish. The shutter speed was 4 seconds for that shot, so the object was not moving since it is very clear with no movement blur. I compared it to the photo that shows the airplane leaving the frame--no resemblance. The UFO is a disk with six lights and crystal clear. I also looked up pictures of satellites photographed from Earth--no resemblance. I have no idea what the object is, and I can't speculate. I am sending you the photo with the saturated colors. If you want the original photo or the photo with the airplane for comparison, let me know. Sincerely, ((woman's name deleted))

we went to the Plato we always hit golf balls off and we were sitting there hanging out I looked out the window up at the sky and to my surprise began seeing all these what looked like stars moving in the sky in ways that anything from our planet doesn't have. we thought made we were tripping out so I then called my friend and told him to pout on his pants and get out side and look in the sky we are seeing alien ships.... he obviously laughed at me and then did it just to please me...(he didn't be). then to his surprise he saw things like we were in the sky.... I then later after my cousin and I got relatively scared for the amount of objects we saw moving in the sky. so we get him and I look out the window again and they r still there so I get him to look and he sees as well. we went back to the Plato because its better there and continued to observe until daylight......we have gone the past 2 days since and u have no idea what happened.... so day two: legit had 5 ppl this time so we could assure our selves that the weren't actually tripping out. turns out we had an encounter with something... it was running up a hill at us then watching us out of the bushes we tried to get it come out and we went far into the bush until the sun cAME out again...day 3 last night: even more weird so the 3 of us went back to see what was up again. so our theory is these things are translucent smart harmless and the straight up crossed the river and then we saw what looked like things being beamed up from the earth into these ship like stars like the ones we saw on the last 2 nights in the sky...typing sucks we could tell u all about verbally it would be better the three of us are going tonight with out other friend who felt presence two nights before us with he friend.;....... and why are there so many military ppl in Whitehorse Yukon… We also received a telephoned message from the source of this report, but it was laced with profanity, which, in our experience, is not a good sign. We have attempted to contact the witness via telephone on 4-5 occasions, but unsuccessfully, to date. PD

Riding to work on the train, the morning was bright and sunny, I was facing south towards Lake Ontario facing toward the Sun when I noticed a very bright light in the sky not far from the direction of the sun. At first I thought it was a star but then realized there were no others anywhere and it was incredible bright considering it was so sunny out. As I watched it for a few moments, it never moved but it began to intensify in brightness and then in an instant it disappeared completely. It was gone in a flash.

Hello: I wasn't sure where to report what 5 of us witnessed yesterday evening. At approx. 7:10pm, my wife and I were out on our front patio deck with our 3 nieces. We had taken 2 pairs of binoculars out with us, as we watch the hikers, and parasailers climb, and jump off the huge rock mountain here named "The Chief". We had watched 3 separate para-sailers jump from the top of the mountain. Our patio deck faces 3 directions, south, west, and north. As we had been watching the para-sailers, just viewing with my eyes, my oldest niece watching through one pair of binoculars, and my wife and other nieces see it by eyesight as well, we saw a large darker shadowy object flying very quickly across the top of the large rock mountain. It moved like nothing I have ever witnessed. I grabbed the Bushnell binoculars and zoomed in on this flying object. At this point, my 7 year old niece was already crying, and very scared. Our other 2 nieces are younger and probably aren't as aware of flying objects. My wife had then used the binoculars that my niece had, and she watched this flying object as well. We both had a clear approx. 30-second view through binoculars at this flying square object. It came in fast from the south, we spotted it once it cleared the tall tree line across our road. As it came closer, the colors started to clear on it. This flying object constantly rotated around, although it was square in shape. It rotated around both in flying mode, and in hovering mode. It hovered above my wife and I for about 10 seconds at maybe 3/4 to 1 mile from us. It continuously rotated. As the colors and shape appeared in the binoculars, the main square body was a tan/dark to mid grey color. Shape, as I'm a Certified Welder/Fabricator, picture 3 large steel shipping containers set side by side tightly, and welded together. It was square and 1/4 as deep as it was long and wide. It clearly had 3 large circular portal areas equally spaced along all 4 sides, not the top or bottom, and on all 4 sides, there were 3 portals. It had a total of 12 portals. I sketched it last night, and as I looked at my diagram trying to figure out how anything square could fly completely smooth, and horizontal, rotate constantly, and can stop and hover, while still rotating, it appears to me, as if the 3 portals along all 4 sides as they were blue/grey in color, compared to the Tan/Dark Grey main body, would possibly be a propu! lsion system. If all 12 portals could rotate a propulsion drive in a 360 degree movement, simliar to a Harrier jet, then yes, I can see how a square object could fly and hover. I'm a Licenced Automotive Technician and Certified Welder/Fabricator by trade here, and I'm an avid custom car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiast, so I know almost every single mechanical sound on this planet. The rotating square object made no noises. We could hear the hikers and para-sailers talking on the mountain side, but nothing from this square flying object. I and my wife witnessed it, it then started to move north again, and I watched it until the roofline made me run from the front to the back deck in 3 seconds, but on the back deck, it had completely disappeared, and we have a long, large view up the valley, and of the mountains off our back deck. Like nothing I've ever seen, or even researched online.
