UFO sightings

Since February, there have been three reported sightings of UFOs in the Blind River area. While driving from Elliot Lake to her home in Blind River, one witness spotted a large ball-shaped light in the night sky which suddenly blinked out. The sighting took place Feb. 22, and lasted a few seconds.

Then, on Friday, Feb. 26, at around midnight, a red light was seen hovering above some railroad tracks in Blind River by three witnesses in two separate vehicles.

One of the witnesses, a woman, reported the following. The driver of one car pulled over the side of the road so he could get a good look. He was about 30 - 40 feet away from it as it hovered there. Suddenly, the light started to move, and the driver sped away. As the second car drove up, the woman and another person spotted the light as it went into the woods and disappeared.

And more recently, on Saturday, March 13 at around 2 am, the same woman woke up to go to the bathroom, and heard a low hum, similar to an electrical sound. She put on her coat and boots and went out to investigate. As she looked up, she saw a large cigar-shaped object as it flew over her house. It consisted of a large cylindrical light in the front, followed by a short light in the back, like an horizontal exclamation mark.

She observed it for about 10 to 15 seconds, then ran into the house to get her binoculars. The witness said that the object was lower than a jet, but as high as a small plane. The sighting lasted approximately five minutes.

I happened to discuss these sightings with her and asked her out of curiosity where the Eldorado Nuclear Plant was located, and she replied that it was about 10-15 minutes away. Nuclear plants are practically synonymous with sightings of these mysterious objects.
