1999
Sighting Reports
|
|
Date:
Monday, February 22, 1999.
Location: Between Elliot Lake and Blind River, Ontario.
JM
was heading west towards Blind River when she spotted a
bright, ball-shaped light in the sky. It suddenly blinked
out and disappeared.
|
|
Date:
Friday, February 26, 1999.
Location: Blind River, Ontario.
JM
reported to me that on Friday night or early Saturday morning,
at about 12:00 midnight, she and her daughter saw a pulsating
red light some distance away. She was driving back to her
home in Blind River, and in front of them in another car,
was their neighbour, a carpenter. He apparently had a better
view of the whole incident, and he later told her what he
saw. He was also driving home, and as he got closer to Blind
River, he noticed a red light. He thought maybe that it
was a signal light or something. But when he got about 30
or 40 feet from some railroad tracks, he slammed the brakes.
He watched as a red pulsating light hovered above the tracks,
at an approximated height of five or six feet. The light
then suddenly moved, heading into the woods. The man stepped
on the gas and took off. When he later told JM what he had
seen, he said he wasn't going to say anything about it.
He estimated that the red light was about 30 inches in diameter,
at a distance of 30 feet or so. That's how close he was
to it.
One
interesting bit of information that should be mentioned
is the fact that the Eldorado Nuclear Plant is located a
few miles away, to the south. It is a well-known fact that
UFOs are often seen in close proximity to Nuclear Plants.
We now have a possible explanation why there would be so
many sightings in the Blind River area.

Date:
Saturday, March 13, 1999.
Location: Blind River, Ontario.
At
about 2:00 a.m., JM woke up to go to the washroom. As she
entered the bathroom, she heard a low hum, similar to an
electrical sound, which she thought was coming from the
fridge's motor. But when she walked out of the bathroom,
she realized that the hum was coming from outside and was
much louder. She put on her coat and ski-doo boots and went
outside, just in time to see a large cigar-shaped object
as it flew over her house from west to east. It consisted
of a long solid light in the front, followed by a short
light in the back, like an horizontal exclamation mark.
She
observed it for about 10 - 15 seconds, then ran into the
house to get her binoculars. When she came back out, the
object was further away to the east, and the humming sound
was fading. The witness said that the object was lower than
a jet, but as high as a small plane. The sighting was over
by 2:05 a.m. She said that if she hadn't woken up to go
to the washroom, she would have missed the whole thing.
She wanted to contact me at that time, but waited until
10:30 that morning, to talk to me.
The
following reports were phoned in to me after my letter to
the editor appeared in the Friday, March 19 issue of The
Northern Life.

Date:
Saturday, March 13, 1999 (reported on March 19, 1999).
Location: Garson, Ontario.
At
around 1:05 a.m., a 63-year-old man (AP) saw a big round
object move across the sky in a northwesterly direction.
He said it blinked 4 times before disappearing and described
it as being lime-green in colour, oval-shaped and as large
as a garbage can cover held at a distance of 15 feet.
He
mentioned that he used to reside in the town of Falconbridge
where he and his neighbours had had several sightings, years
ago.

Date:
Wednesday, March 10, 1999 (reported on March 19, 1999).
Location: 10 minutes from Elliot Lake, Ontario.
At
around 3:40 p.m., a man driving on highway 108 toward highway
17, reported that he saw a cone-shaped object moving across
the sky from west to east. The front end of it was squared
off. There was no vapour trail behind it and it was as white
as a cloud. He watched it for a minute, lost sight of it,
then saw it again for 3 more minutes before disappearing
from view.

Date:
Friday, March 12, 1999.
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
A
little after 10 p.m. that evening, a boy (JG) was trying
to go to sleep when he looked out his window and saw a triangular
object in the night sky. It had three coloured lights; one
at each corner. One light was red and the other two were
white. He also noticed a fourth light in the center of the
craft; a smaller red light which was moving around in a
circular motion. He said that the triangular craft was about
as big as an aspirin held at arm's length. Then, after a
second or 2, it flashed again. It kept doing this until
it was out of site. At about the half way point, it stopped
for about 30 seconds then went on again. The witness said
it was too high to be a plane and jets can't stop and go
like it did. It stopped again way off in the east and sped
up and went south.

Date:
Monday, March 15, 1999 (reported to me on March 20, 1999).
Location: 20 kilometres north of Elliot Lake, Ontario.
At
around 3 p.m., SM saw what appeared to be a glare moving
across the sky while out ice fishing on Dunlop Lake, near
Elliot Lake. The witness who reported this incident said
the object was a lot bigger than a plane and described it
as 'a silver bullet-type thing.' He said it flew above the
trees about 32 to 4 miles away, and then just disappeared.
Both the top and lower halves were reflecting sunlight,
he said, but the middle section was blurry.

Date:
Monday, March 15 or Tuesday, March 16, 1999 (reported on
March 20, 1999).
Location: Hanmer, Ontario.
At
around 9 a.m., a Hanmer man driving on Regional road 80
near the Skead-Sudbury Airport turnoff, reported seeing
a round silver ball very high in the eastern sky. The weather
was clear, and there were no clouds, which made it difficult
for him to estimate its height. It caught his attention
when it suddenly moved to the south, then disappeared. A
few seconds later, it reappeared and started moving to the
north before vanishing again.

Date:
Saturday, March 20, 1999.
Location: Elliot Lake, Ontario.
A
man called to report a possible meteorite impact near Echo
Bay, between Blind River and Sault Ste. Marie. JM related
to me the account printed in the newspaper which says that
attempts will be made to search the area once the ice has
melted off the surface of the lake.

Date:
Saturday, March 20, 1999 (reported on March 21, 1999).
Location: East of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
At
around 3 a.m., two women driving back from Sault, Michigan
saw what first looked like a bright star in the sky that
suddenly came down at tremendous speed and flew past their
car. The witness reporting the incident was in the passenger
seat and said that as the large ball of light flew past
the car, sparks were shooting off from end to end. She looked
back through the rear window of the car to see the object
as it stopped and hovered above the road. She wanted to
go back, but she said that the driver of the car didn't
want to stop because she was afraid she'd get abducted.

Date:
August 1995 (reported on Monday, March 22, 1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
While
walking through a playground near Ethelbert Street, a man
(DG) and his buddy saw a football-shaped object hovering
above the Pine Street Water Tower. The colour was described
as being grey-bluish, but more grey, which blended well
with the sky. The sighting occurred on a clear, hot day.
Based on his estimate of the size of the object, the witness
said that if it had been on the ground, it would have been
large enough for people to walk inside.

Date:
Wednesday, March 24, 1999 (reported on April 16, 1999).
Location: Blind River, Ontario.
I
received a call from my contact in Blind River and she reported
to me the following incident:
A
woman from Algoma Mills (7 miles from Blind River) had a
close encounter while driving towards Blind River, where
she was going to pick up her daughter at the local Tim Horton's.
The time was approximately 11:20 p.m. When she got within
2 mile from Blind River, she saw an object lifting off from
behind some trees at an RV trailer lot, near the shores
of Lake Huron. She described it as cigar-shaped and red
and white in colour. When she saw it lift up above the tree-line,
she pulled right over so that she could get out and watch.
But when the object started coming over the highway, she
decided to stay in the car. The object was 'as long as one
tree-line to the other' (wider than the highway). She sat
there and watched as it came right over her car which, at
that point, began to vibrate. That's when she hit the gas,
she said, because 'she just wanted to get out of there.'
At that moment, that's when it (the object) took off in
a split second. It went right over the hospital and flew
away in a northerly direction. A woman who had reported
other encounters before, went to check the site and found
no physical trace of any kind.
Two
nights prior, on Monday, March 22, in the early hours of
the morning, she said she woke up and heard a loud hum in
her house. She went running to her daughter's room, woke
her up, and both were in a panic state. She said she kind
of knew what it was, but didn't want to go outside and look.
Then the hum went away.

Date:
Thursday, April 15, 1999.
Location: Ironbridge, Ontario.
Two
women going for a walk at about 10:00 p.m., reported they
saw a bright, bright light in the bush and they didn't want
to stay any longer. They got scared because it was 'too...too
bright for a normal light.' They just took off out of there.
Ironbridge
is located 12 miles west of Blind River.

Date:
Saturday, April 17, 1999.
Location: Garson, Ontario.
Dowling
resident (VH) and his wife were driving back from Garson
when they spotted an object in the sky, moving in a north-northeasterly
direction. The time was approximately 9 p.m. and the sky
was a bit cloudy. At first, the woman thought it was the
moon. But at the time, the moon was in the southern sky
and had a thin crescent shape. The object was described
as a last-quarter moon with the tips squared off, and yellow
in colour. It was seen for about 12 - 30 seconds before
it moved away from them.

Date:
Tuesday, April 13, 1999 (E-mail received on April 23, 1999).
Location: Val Caron, Ontario.
On
the evening of April 13th, a Sudbury resident (HW) who works
for a maintenance company and a fellow worker saw a strange
sight while on their way to Hanmer. The time was approximately
9:45 p.m. when they approached the top of the hill in Val
Caron from which there is an excellent view of the valley.
At that moment, they saw a blue, ball-shaped light with
a flaming tail on it moving across the sky. At first, they
thought it was a meteor, but the fire tail suddenly went
out and the object flashed brightly three times before disappearing.
The witness said that the 'object was going too fast to
be a plane, and yet too slow to be a meteor or shooting
star.' He also said that it left a trail of smoke behind,
which meant that it was in the atmosphere. He said: 'It
was very close to the ground, maybe a couple of hundred
feet up. Three cars in front of us seen it also and slammed
on the breaks.' They reported their sighting to the airport
and a local radio station, but they hadn't seen or heard
anything about it.

Date:
Monday, June 8, 1998 (E-mail received on April 25, 1999).
Location: Approx. 50 miles north of Chapleau, Ontario.
Two
men who went on a five-day fishing trip, witnessed two separate
sightings while camping on the Missinabbi River. On the
evening of June 8, at around 10 p.m., they saw what looked
like a star in the southeastern sky. They watched as it
came straight down and stopped for about 5 seconds, then
took off at a 90 angle from the direction it came from,
at a terrific speed. It was faster than a plane and was
heading in an easterly direction. It was gone from sight
within a couple of seconds.
Then,
at approximately 10:20 p.m. that same night, they saw two
lights moving in the northwestern sky, which looked like
car headlights, 100 feet apart from each other. They were
about a thousand feet up and traveled in a straight line
towards the southern horizon. Their speed was the same as
a bush plane. In both cases, there was no sound at all.

Date:
Tuesday, April 13, 1999 (E-mail received on April 26, 1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
At
around 5:50 a.m., a Sudbury resident (SD) was driving her
husband (David) to work when she saw a fluorescent green
object in the western sky which moved with great speed (about
1 - 2 seconds). At first, she thought it could have been
a comet; it was round-shaped at the head with a short vapour
trail. It was half the size of the moon and was traveling
west to north, in the area of the sky above Memorial Hospital.
She said 'it happened so quickly, but was so impressive.'

Date:
February or March, 1994 (E-mail received on April 27, 1999).
Location: Near Dowling, Ontario.
A
man (VT), his teenage daughter and a friend of hers were
heading over to a rural route near Dowling to pick up a
second friend. She pointed out to them a bright circular
object which was stationary above the tree line to the west;
she had been watching it for 20 minutes. The foursome drove
to a stop sign near the girl's home, and watched the object
for a couple of minutes, but there was no movement. They
proceeded down the road to a third friend's home. The girls
looked out the back window and saw the object following
them. They continued on as the object passed very low overhead
(100 feet). The object's body could not be seen, but it
had a red light in the rear and on each side, green lights
that flickered. They proceeded onto Hwy 144 with the object
slightly in front of them. The driver turned off Hwy 144
onto another rural route, and went to a farm. The girls
got out and went behind the barn where they watched the
object as it headed for Chelmsford. Then the man proceeded
back to Hwy 144 and headed towards Dowling. The object turned
around and started following the vehicle on the passenger
side. The driver decided to turn off Hwy 144 onto a rural
route. The object also turned and followed parallel to his
right. It was very low, maybe a couple hundred feet. The
man turned onto another road and the object turned again
and passed him.
It
was dark out. He pulled to the side of the road, stopped,
switched his lights and motor off, got out and listened,
but no sound. The UFO was still visible. He proceeded to
catch up to it. And as he turned onto another road, the
object would turn and stayed slightly in front and to the
right of the vehicle. It went around another two 90°
turns, then flew parallel at speeds between 40 and 65 mph.
There were no erratic movements. The driver drove into his
driveway, got out and listened...still no noise. He said:
'It made a parallel left turn when I turned left into my
driveway. I went into the house to get my son to look out
the upstairs window, but he could not see it because of
the trees. I caught a glimpse of it, and it had changed
back to a bright light.'
The
man remembers that at the time, UFO sightings were being
reported in Michigan and one possible sighting in Sudbury.

Date:
Thursday, May 20, 1999.
Location: Dowling, Ontario.
Dowling
resident VH reported to me that at around 6:10 p.m., his
wife was looking through the kitchen window to the north
and saw a disk-shaped object, silver in colour, with the
sun reflecting off its surface. It looked to be a little
over halfway up in the sky, moving from west to east. It
then went behind a cloud and disappeared. She kept looking,
hoping to see it again but never did. Then, at around 6:30
p.m., her husband noticed something in the same part of
the sky but further away. He described it as a round object,
very dull in colour, again moving from west to east. The
size looked to be about that of an old 5-cent piece (smaller
than a dime) at arm's length. It also disappeared behind
the clouds. He waited and watched for it, but never saw
it again. The weather was clear, the sun was still out and
the clouds were thin. He could clearly see it with the naked
eye. 'It was no plane, no helicopter, no bird and no weather
balloon,' he said. But he's not sure what it was.

Date:
January 1998 (reported on Thursday, May 27, 1999).
Location: Lake Temagami, Ontario.
In
early January of 1998, a man (PM) and his girlfriend were
walking along the frozen ice on Lake Temagami near the shoreline
of Bear Island. The time was about 12:30 a.m. when he saw
a green glow about 50 metres wide above the tree line. At
first, he ignored it, thinking his mind was playing tricks,
then the light turned red for 3 seconds, then back to green.
He writes: 'There are no traffic lights on Bear Island because
it's too small to fit cars. My friend and I began to panic
and turned to run home where we came from. I immediately
called my dad, who is the reserve constable, to check out
the light. He jumped on his ski-doo towards the glowing
light and it disappeared into the horizon. Then the following
day there were two air force jets from the North Bay airbase
flying over the same area where the lights were. Is this
a coincidence? My mother recalls she and a group of her
friends saw something very similar as a teenager hovering
above the ice near the same area.'

Date:
Tuesday, June 15, 1999.
Location: Dowling, Ontario.
At
around 11:20 p.m., Dowling resident VH was outside looking
at the star-studded sky when, out of nowhere, appeared a
strange light...'as you turn a light on,' he said. It was
in the western part of the sky, about 3/4 of the way up
from the horizon. Then, it got brighter and bigger and went
out. Where the light disappeared, another light appeared,
which was a lot smaller than a star. This second light went
away slightly to the right at a 45 angle and vanished. The
sighting lasted about 5 seconds.
|
|
Date:
Sunday, June 27, 1999.
Location: Lively, Ontario.
A
Lively resident (AB) reported that at around 12:20 a.m.,
he saw what he first thought was a star. But he soon realized
that this steady white light was moving slowly. It then
sped up at 45 angle and disappeared into the night sky.
The sighting lasted 2 seconds.
|
|
Date:
Early July 1999 (received anonymous call on July 10, 1999).
Location: River Valley, Ontario.
An
elderly woman reported that at around 10:30 p.m., she saw
a great big light travelling from the northwest and heading
east. It was about the size of a plane, then it suddenly
disappeared. Sighting took place during the same time period
as the wind storm that damaged trees and property.
|
|
Date:
Sunday, July 4, 1999 (reported on July 11, 1999).
Location: Providence Bay, Manitoulin Island, Ontario.
A
woman (LH) reported that at around 9 p.m., while camping
at Providence Bay, she and her family of four saw an unusual
object in the sky. The family dog was the first to 'sense'
something strange. They described it as a single white light
which travalled straight across the horizon, from east to
west. It then flared up twice and disappeared. There was
no sound.
|
|
Date:
Saturday, May 17, 1997 (written report received on Wednesday,
July 7, 1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
'I
saw this array move across the sky in a west-east direction
at one in the morning, 17 May, 1997. The shapes were a dull
orange colour and were visible for about ten minutes before
fading gradually from view. All the while they maintained
the triangular formation depicted above; although the loose
conglomeration shown at bottom right wavered, it never veered
from the general path. Before finally disappearing, the
shapes seem to have changed direction for the pattern itself
became distorted, as though it was slowly becoming inverted.
I imagined this to mean the flight had angled upward from
the original horizontal path.'

Date:
Summer 1998 (reported on Monday, July 12, 1999).
Location: Vermillion River, Chelmsford, Ontario.
While
fishing at Vermillion River, a Sudbury resident (PM) saw
an unusual light that came in from the west and headed south
at a 20° angle as it disappeared behind the treetops.
Then about 2 seconds later, he watched as the light came
up from behind the treetops, heading in the same direction
it originally came from, at an incredible speed. The time
was approximately 10 p.m. and the night was clear. He said
the light looked like a falling star. It never flashed and
its colour was not the same as a star; it was yellowish-blue
in colour. There was no sound.
|
|
Date:
Tuesday, June 22, 1999 (reported on July 11, 1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
At
approximately 11:45 p.m., a Sudbury resident noticed a reddish
orange light travelling from south to north. He thought
that it was probably a plane heading for the Sudbury airport
even though it seemed to be pulsating instead of blinking.
He was about to turn away when the light suddenly got brighter
and another light lifted straight up from it, sat above
it for a minute and then took off at high speed to the northwest.
He went out for a better look with his binoculars, but the
lights were gone.
He
stayed outside for a few more minutes and was about to go
back inside when he saw two reddish orange lights coming
towards New Sudbury from the southwest. The lights were
travelling side by side, with one slightly ahead of the
other and passing under the clouds. 'They were much brighter
than any other stars or planets and moving at a steady pace,'
he said. 'I watched them with the binoculars but couldn't
make out any kind of distinct shape about them. They then
seemed to get brighter and a light would rise up from the
front one about every 5 to 10 seconds and then bank around
and head back towards downtown Sudbury. The back one also
had lights rising from it, but at a much faster rate than
the front one and these lights were much smaller and only
red in colour.'
He
said that the smaller lights were also banking around and
heading towards downtown at a high rate of speed. The two
main lights then started to curve slowly towards the northwest
and seemed to just fade out. The sighting lasted for about
8 to 10 minutes. He never saw them again, even though he
stayed out for another 30 minutes or so.

Date:
Monday, July 12, 1999 (reported on July 15, 1999).
Location: South Bay, Manitoulin Island, Ontario.
A
couple camping out at their camp on Manitoulin Island couldn't
sleep because of the heat so they decided to lay down on
the deck of their boat. As they watched the sky, they spotted
a silver object as it came in from the west, stopped and
reversed direction without turning around. The time was
between 4 and 5 a.m.

Date:
Wednesday, July 28, 1999.
Location: Blind River, Ontario.
I
received a call from JM telling me of a First Nation elder
from who reported to her that UFOs had landed in Hagersville,
Ontario (near Kitchener). She also said that he had seen
helicopters flying above the site, the following day. What
was found was in fact two crop circle formations, of which
the elder apparently took photographs of.
|
|
Date:
Saturday, July 31, 1999.
Location: Blind River, Ontario.
I
received another call from JM about the event and told her
about the crop circle formations. She told me she would
be given photographs of them by the elder who reported the
incident to her. She also reported that a couple of people
have had sightings of red lights flying around Blind River.
On Monday, July 26, a man driving from Sudbury to Cutler
(approx. 26 miles east of Blind River) saw a red light in
the sky. He said it was going too slow for a falling star
or a meteor and he said it went straight across the sky
and was not falling. And on Tuesday night, July 27, at about
9:30 p.m., a man from Goulais Bay (near Blind River) who
was outside sky-watching, had a similar sighting. He also
said the light wasn't a falling star or a meteor, that it
went straight across the sky, and didn't fall.

Date:
Thursday, August 5, 1999 (E-mail received on August 13,
1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
On
August 5, at around 4:30 a.m., a woman living in a basement
apartment who woke up to go to the bathroom, looked out
the window and saw a large bright round light coming up
over the trees in her backyard. She was amazed at how big
and brilliant it was. She went over to the window to get
a better look and it seemed to come closer. Unsure as to
what it was, she went to the bathroom. When she went back
to the bedroom, she saw a brilliant glowing light coming
through the blinds, shining directly on her bed...the entire
length of it. She went back to the window and saw a beam
of light leading up to a huge object. She couldn't tell
how far away or how large it was except that it was very
big and seemed to be hovering. At this point, she left the
window and went to the living room where she spent the rest
of the night on the couch. She said that although it took
a while for her to fall asleep again, when she woke up,
the sighting was still vivid to her. The witness wishes
to remain anonymous, for fear of ridicule.

Date:
Wednesday, August 18, 1999 (reported on August 23, 1999).
Location: Garson, Ontario.
A
Garson resident (TW) reported that at about 11:43 a.m.,
he and four other witnesses saw a 'little cigar thing' as
it crossed the sky and headed towards the INCO superstack.
He said he was facing north when he spotted a very bright,
white object as it came in from the east and moved very
slowly towards the west. The day was clear and cloudless,
with winds blowing from the northwest. He watched it for
about 12 minutes until it disappeared in the smoke plume
of the INCO superstack. He then turned around to talk to
his two buddies and a couple of neighbours who were there
with him and discussed what they had just seen. About three
minutes later, they noticed another similar object in the
eastern sky and watched as it followed the same path, moving
very slowly across the sky towards the west. They watched
this one for about ten to twelve minutes until it, too,
disappeared. The main witness estimated that both UFOs were
at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. He added that they (the
cigar-shaped objects) were moving way too slow for an airplane
and moving too fast to be balloons.

Date:
Friday, August 13, 1999 (reported on August 23, 1999).
Location: Whitefish, Ontario.
At
about 3:20 a.m., a Whitefish resident (WR) who was letting
his dog out, happened to look west at a cluster of stars
and all of a sudden, one of them turned very bright and
large and moved 'about a couple of hundred feet' to the
south, and got dim again. He went into the house to look
for his binoculars and when he got back out, he couldn't
find it again...it was lost in the stars. He said that it
struck him odd that something like that would move. He stayed
out for two hours because there were a lot of shooting stars,
that night.
When
asked if this was his first sighting, he said no. Ten years
before, he was letting his dog out one night and as he looked
east toward Sudbury, he saw what he thought was a falling
star as it came down real fast. But just as fast as it came
down, it went back up again!

'My
name is FL. It was either four or five years ago, I'd have
to check back; we do keep records of when I was working.
They had put me on a steady graveyard shift for the winter.
And I was patrolling the tailings area and as I was coming
back, I had just shut off a spotlight because I was checking
a pipeline. And I just happen to glance up into the sky
and I noticed a light, a bright light come basically straight
down. I seen it go through the clouds; the clouds were sort
of a wispy, reddish colour 'cause it was 4:10 in the morning.
It went down...it went behind a light tower where the old
Frood mine is, or Murray mine is
and went back down
in behind the hills. And that's what I seen. There was no...no
trail of any kind. No vapour trail. No light trail, no nothing.
And that's what I saw. And I was really...shocked to see
it. And I sat there for a minute or two, contemplating what
I had seen. And then I took off for our...what we call hill
station is where our Dry and everything is. I took off there
in a big hurry in case that thing came back up again. So,
that's basically my story. It's not a hell of a lot, but
it's always been a mystery to me. And that's why I'm calling.'
FL
then related how he saw the jets which were scrambled from
Michigan during the Falconbridge UFO incident of November
1975:
'We
didn't actually see anything, but we were working on the
pipeline. And I guess North Bay had scrambled some jets
and they were flying very low because it was overcast. And
they were, I would say, maybe 300 feet off the ground, where
we were and flew over very fast. And we heard later on that
there was a UFO in the area. But because of the overcast,
we couldn't see anything. But..other than the jets, which
kind of got me excited about the idea. And that's all I
have to say about that one.

Date:
Saturday, August 21, 1999 (reported on September 4, 1999).
Location: Lively, Ontario.
At
around 2 a.m., a man (TG) witnessed three lights in a perfect
triangle travelling in a straight line through the haze
of the Milky Way, from the southwest to the northeast. The
lights did not flash like those of an aircraft. They seemed
similar in speed, height and linear travel to satellites,
which he has seen dozens of times, but never in formation
or near other satellites.

Date:
August 14, 1998 (reported on September 6, 1999).
Location: Walden, Ontario.
At
around 6 p.m., a Walden resident was talking to a couple
of neighbours and about 50 feet up above a house, she noticed
a round, silver ball...a round shape about the size of a
soccer ball. She said: 'What the hell is that?' As the other
neighbours looked, it shrunk down to the size of a tennis
ball. The object started floating through the air, moving
away very slowly towards the east.
She
also reported that she had seen something else in the same
area that had lights
three lights: red, green and yellow.
'And it wasn't moving or anything, it was just sitting above
a treetop,' she said. She said she couldn't see any shape
or anything like that.
She
also related a third sighting she had when she was 17, living
in Ottawa. From her 17th floor balcony, she and a friend
saw something similar to the three lights. She doesn't remember
the colours, but the object was sitting there, then would
move from left to right, then sit for a while again.

1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
At
around 12:30 a.m., a Wal-Mart night crew supervisor and

Date:
July 1968 and July 1999 (reported on September 11, 1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
I
located a former Sudburian (SZ) now living in Calgary, who
was an eyewitness to a sighting back in July 1968. He described
how he and his friend were walking home and saw a light
in the sky that was moving parallel to Howey Drive and would
sometimes stop. He couldn't remember the date, but the article
in the Sudbury Star is dated August 15, 1968.
He
also reported that at about 1:20 a.m., one night this past
July, while visiting his dad in Sudbury, saw a stationary
white light that went up and around the Bell communication
tower located above the old Prince Charles school. About
20 minutes later, it was gone.
