Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
On Sunday, July 3, 2016, while outside my home in Oshawa, Ontario, enjoying a tea and smoke, noticed something odd in the sky I was facing west over Whitby, Ontario. As I'm close to Whitby's township western Oshawa About a quarter mile away near directly west Observed a long dark object, flashing a very bright blue light It was quite high in the sky - thousands of feet? When I first observed it in the sky - appeared near stationary This bright blue flashing light was so intense as it now started to move quite slow I then grabbed my camera and started to photograph It then moved towards the west quite slow after another minute Last two minutes of the sighting it was now moving southwest towards over Lake Ontario It had drawn closer to me may eighth of a mile - still quite high As it came into the clouds this dark colored object appeared to morph into a distinct defined shape This shape as you view the picture resembles a letter or number " S " or " 5 " Please remember it first appeared longish - no bends Then lost visual as it moved into the clouds or above Last picture taken 11:08 am As you examine all the pictures shared Yes- looks very bizarre with different shapes and even one with a smaller sphere close to the larger dark object They just continue

Surrey/Burnaby (Canada), BC · Canada
On July 3, 2016, at approximately 1:30am, an intense blueish VOILET light was seen shining from within the clouds over Burnaby. I live in Surrey. I was getting up to open my window, when I encountered these strange lights in the sky. I counted a total number of 8 lights, shaped in a crown like formation. The light was bright, but didn't seem to be coming from a spotlight down below. There was no traceable light that was visible from its origin if it were to be coming from the ground. If I had to pinpoint a place of origin, I would say it was coming from within the clouds, shining outwards. This event lasted about ten minutes, throughout which the lights seemed to turn on and off in a randomized pattern. This event was also witnessed and filmed by a lady in the Guildford area, she posted the video on YouTube under, "Ufo? Blue lights sighting @ Vancouver, BC 1:30am July 3, 2016" I haven't heard of any other reports from this event. No Facebook posts, no news articles. I'm not sure if the RCMP was ever contacted. Not sure if there's anyone else who might have seen this.

July 1st fireworks started and a red light caught my 5 year old's eye. I told him it was a red star. I kept watching the fireworks but I would glance back at the so called star wondering why it was so red. After nearly 5 minutes the red light began to move erratically. There was a large crowd for the fireworks show and I asked the closest people to us if they could see the object. They could not be live they're eyes. The astonishment of this moving object spread to others and instead of watching the show, most were focused on the object. I would say it had intense elevation changes, did not flash, could stop in air for long lengths of time and was very fast. Lasted approximately 15 minutes.

Chilliwack (Canada), BC · Canada
Between 2015-2016 One day me and my friend were on our way to work to pick up our cheques, passing by Ruth and niaomis mission skateboarding westbound on Princess Avenue I seen something above I’m not sure how high exactly I would guess 50-100 meters high directly above I seen a triangle object traveling the same direction, it must have been 15 meters in diameter I stopped and told my friend and he noticed it so we followed it to Young Rd as soon as it was above Young Rd it travelled southbound directly above Young Rd. The travel speed I am unsure of since it is hard to tell the exact size but it was a steady slow rate. As we followed it southbound young rd since that’s the direction of where our work is it continued for about half a minute, when it reached Airport Rd it must have been roughly above the chilliwack municipal airport suddenly from its steady highway speed it darted south east bound I have to guess hundreds to maybe a thousand kilometers an hour towards the United states border roughly the direction of North Cascades National Park direction. From its steady highway speed to roughly hundreds of kilometers an hour was instantaneous and silent not a sound. Triangle shape best I can describe is from what I could see had 3 points and lights near each point, hard to tell the exact color though it seemed medium to light grey in color. So from the way it traveled seems like it was going westbound on yale until it was directly above Young rd, maybe it circled the airport I am not sure though the speed sure seemed very fast as I’m sure any jet would have been very loud this triangle object was definitely silent as I did try to listen. I couldn’t tell if it landed anywhere as when it darted southwest it soon was out of sight over the mountains in the distance within seconds.

I seen an object in the sky about 12;30 am. I watched it hover over the city for about 20 min. and it started to move very slowly, it was very quiet and did not look very far from where I was watching it. I was surprised there was no noise. It was round at the top with two long tails hanging from the bottom of the object, it was very bright. It continued to move just over a large building in the distance over the college area of town, it went down behind the building very fast, so fast I thought whatever it was crashed and I awaited for a bang, or loud noise in which there was none, I have only told a few people in my town, but cannot believe no other person has see this. I feel it has to be reported.

2 large red orbs came into my view above a tree. They moved together in the same direction. NE to south. They were in view for less than a minute. 2 more came into view from same location as first two. They travelled the same direction. The final 2 of 6 in total moved the same in formation. They were like a star with a huge glowing red aura. All lasted less than 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

June 17, 2016. At about 9 P.M. this evening, my wife and I were sitting on our back deck enjoying the evening when I spotted a bright object in the sky. I was quite intrigued because it was still very bright and no stars or planets should be visible at this time. I got my telescope out to see if it was a planet but when I observed it I could tell it wasn’t because it was moving too fast, but not as fast as a satellite and it appeared to have an object tethered to it orbiting it about every 10 seconds. After watching it for several minutes and showing it to my wife, it suddenly shattered into hundreds of fragments that moved outward but didn’t disappear. I watched it for several minutes until it moved out of my line of vision. I called the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, but no one had reported anything. I don’t know it this was a true UFO or if there is a logical explanation, but I sure would like to know. We spoke on two occasions via telephone with the witness, and he is very convincing about his sighting. He has contacted to local press, to no avail, but is going to contact them again, in attempt to find other witnesses. Anprior, Ontario, is 56 kilometers west of Ottowa. PD

Wow - something with bright red lights just zoomed by my window in the sky. About 9:45 pm looking out my window something went by so fast - red lights - I guess if I had to say it had a bit of a upside down teardrop (thanks for the choices on the side) - I'm not good at measuring height but I guess I'll have to say it was flying as low as what a small plane normally flies - but it was the speed! No way that was an airplane.... Leave you feeling shaking inside - it's so unbelievable.... I guess there was about 5 lights - it happens so fast - you kind of go in shock! This is the second time for me within a few months - what's going on?? but last time it wasn't like this - this was much closer.

Hello sir/madam/Mr. Davenport; I recently had dinner with friends. He (38 yrs) works for the local school board. His wife (34 yrs) is in retail management. Neither of them is a 'believer' in UFOs. During our dinner they told me of an incident that occurred in mid June. They were sitting by the fire in their yard after dinner. After some time, the husband noticed in the sky what he described as a 'V'. He said it looked almost like geese flying, in that the 'V' was so prominent, but that it wasn't geese, because it was way up in the sky, "at least as high as an airplane would be," he said. He also stated that although he couldn't see a "back edge" (completeing the triangle) he could tell it was more than just a "V" because he couldn't see the clouds through the area behind the "V". (I hope that makes sense). He and his wife both described the object as being "at least 10 times bigger than an airplane," and "dead silent". He told me that they both sat in their chairs, looking up at the object in disbelief and wonder. He stated that it appeared to "bending the atmosphere". They both stated that it was moving, but agreed that it was moving far too slowly to be anything they're ever seen before, and that as they sat there watching the object, it went from "barely moving" (for 8 - 10 seconds) to flying away faster than anything they'd ever seen, until it was out of sight (1 - 2 seconds). As I stated, neither of them are believers, yet have no guesses as to what they saw. They didn't say "maybe a satellite. Maybe a drone." They were just puzzled, and thinking/hoping I might have some answers. (I'm 'that guy' among our friends/family). My answer for them was to contact the fine folks at NUFORC and file a report, but it was obvious to me that they weren't going to do that. In fact, me mentioning it to them pretty much ended the discussion. Stigma, my guess. You know how it is. So, I thought the least I should do is inform you. For your records, and such. I have known the fellow for over 20 years. He isn't going to lie me about this, or anything else, to be honest. These are good, honest people. I hope this report is either helpful or useful, and at the very least, is not a waste of your time. I very much appreciate what you! *I will be filling out the contact info with my information.

Witnessed an object passing slowly and directly above me (90 degrees up the horizon) that moved in a S to SSE direction. This object took about 15 to 20 seconds to pass over then very slowly dimmed out when it was about 45 degrees up the horizon to the S or SSE. It was a solid white, bright object that did not flash like an aircraft (nor was there any sound; I can easily hear aircrafts when passing over). It was much too big and bright to be a satellite, which I have seen many times. It did not have a trail like a meteor, it simply looked like a very big, bright star that slowly moved. In the South Night Sky, Mars was visible slightly to the West of where this object disappeared and from my perspective this object was about 4 to 5 times larger and brighter than Mars. It was hard for me to tell if this object was something big and very close or smaller and further away, but my guess is that it was something many times bigger than an aircraft and at an elevation, maybe half that of the highest flying commercial jets

My wife and I were at the drive-in Friday night facing the North screen. It was a clear night at the time and there were many stars in the sky. Around 10:30, I looked up and saw about 30 to 50 objects flying across the sky. They looked like slow moving stars and were in a large cluster but in no type of formation. They took about a minute or two to pass over. Then several more smaller clusters of 3 or more went past over a period of 5 minutes. My wife and I were not the only ones to witness this event. Several other people were out of there cars looking up at them as well.

HELLO I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A STAR AT FIRST, THEN I REALIZED IT WAS BRIGHTER AND A LITTLE LARGER THAN ANY STAR I HAVE SEEN. IT WAS BRIGHT AND WHITE THEN IT CHANGED TO A DULLER COLOR WHICH I AM NOT SURE WHAT COLOR IT WAS BUT A FEW SECONDS LATER IT WENT BACK TO A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT AGAIN. I THEN THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A PLANE BUT IT WAS WAY TO BRIGHT TO BE A PLANE. IT WAS HIGH IN THE SKY AND LOOKED QUITE A WAYS AWAY. AS I WAS TRYING FIGURE WHAT I WAS SEEING THE OBJECT WENT STRAIGHT DOWN VERY QUICKLY. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FREE-FALLING TO THE GROUND. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. WHEN IT WENT DOWN IT WENT DOWN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. FORGOT TO MENTION THE SHAPE IT LOOKED LIKE A ROUND BALL OF WHITE LIGHT LIKE A STAR ONLY BIGGER. SORRY I HAVE NO PICTURE BY THE TIME I FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WASN'T IT WAS GONE. THAT'S IT HOPEFULLY SOMEONE ELSE HAS SEEN SOMETHING SIMILAR Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Northwestern skies just to the left off the handle of the big dipper. Bright white light on a horizontal course with a slight upward angle. It suddenly appeared for 3 seconds then disappeared. It was definitely faster than any satellite/airplane or the space station. Light intensity stayed the same through out the sighthing.

A glowing blue sphere, moving at very high speed, then stopped and hovered for about 1 minute. I hit it with a high power hand held laser pointer it avoided the laser beam moving in a zigzag back and forth motion, then started moving behind the trees and took off like a shooting star and made a sonic boom.

I first thought the bright light was a satellite. It was coming from the northeast, heading southeast, and moving very fast. As the object came nearer, I noticed that it was cylindrical in shape, and seemed to be rotating. It appeared as though something was revolving around the bottom of the object, and a dimmer light would appear on the bottom left of the object, as it rotated. The object started heading towards the east, and then I lost sight of it behind some clouds.

When we receive a report that is as carelessly prepared as this one appears to be, we assume it is a hoax, submitted by a young person. We attempted to contact the source via telephone, but the outgoing message tended to support our suspicion, we felt. PD

Elliot Lake (Canada), ON · Canada
Event occurred on a camping trip on Elliot lake perhaps a kilometre out of town. At 23:30 we began to hear the electrical buzzing sononamous (sic. synonymous) with high voltage transformer. We both found it quite out of the ordinary, but dismissed it. I looked up at the stars and at first glance appeared to be a satellite flying past three points of light which looked like stars. The three apparent stars blinked out one after the other from left to right and the apparent satilite was left behind. The realization set in that the three 'stars' which blinked out were the ones in motion and what was thought to be a satellite remained, and was actually a star itself. About a minute later the electrical transformer buzz dissipated and we were again returned to the sounds of the wilderness. The buzzing returned about 45-60 minutes later and I kept my eyes on the sky but no odd signs were to be seen. We then began discussing the event and I advised him to let me know if he began to have nightmares in the coming weeks.

1:00 PM Lunch Break Ends. Saw a blue light on the sky, and took a picture of it. Show it to a work colleague and he notices on the top left of the blue spot something like a dragon tail with white scales. I'm not sure what it is, is just interesting cause the location is like approx. 1 mile NE of a Nuclear Plant. I will try to use adobe Photoshop on a different spectrum to see if different details will be revealed. I'm not suggesting is an UFO, I just want to be seen by somebody more knowledgeable in this field than me. I'll attach 5 pictures with different degree of zoom. (hope I will be able to) Thank you for your time.

On May 11 it was around 9:05 pm - looking southwest direction. I usually see many airplanes at the same time in the sky but usually at a far distance from each other. Through one of my small windows saw what I thought was 2 airplanes - the usual flashing red light (on one side) and another color light. What caught my attention is that one flew directly into the other one and then started flying in circle - at quite a high speed. There was another airplane (real one) further so I was able to compare the speed of the two - the one that had almost hit the other one was going at a much faster speed and did an oval shape circle - which a plane could not do!! The whole thing lasted for a few minutes - and then both planes with the red light went out of my view. A while later I looked outside and was surprised to see fog (or so it seemed) going over the street light. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
