Edson, Alberta Object Moves Around The Sky And Then Descends
Date: August 3, 2007
Time: 12:05 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Edson
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright bluish and circular in shape.
I looked out my balcony window ( as I usually do before heading back to bed in the middle of the night, always was a habit). My place faces the south.
When glancing out the window, I noticed a bright star like object in the south east sky, kind of bluish in color, and noticed a very constant flash about it. I stood there waiting and watching it, figuring it might just as well be a star. Then it started to move very rapidly and going in all directions. I went back inside to get a cigarette, and it was still there when I came back out to the balcony. It was moving towards the west and still kept it's brightness. It was way too low to be a star, moved too fast to be a satellite, and was too high to be a plane. It made no sound at all. As I continued to watch it, it stopped directly over the street I live on (but still way up there). It stayed there hovering for about a half hour, still blinking and flashing. My boyfriend was asleep, so I woke him up to make sure I wasn't seeing things. He came out to the balcony and looked up at the object. All he said was "what the heck is that"?. He stood there with me for a few minutes and then headed back to bed.
By this time it was about 45 minutes since I had first saw it. I sat on a chair on my balcony, I noticed it starting to go away but was too fascinated to go inside. It headed out north west and was almost impossible to see anymore, so I figured I would go back to bed. That's when it started to come back my way. It was about 1:15am at this time. I sat there still keeping my eye on it and noticed it starting to descend. It was close enough to make out a circle shape every time the flashing occurred and still no sound from the object. My place faces a CN railroad to the south, and some forest back there, it descended what looked like into the forest and disappeared. I was so freaked out, never seen a UFO before but I am 100% certain that's what I saw early this morning.

Orangeville, Ontario Unknown Bright Object
Date: August 3, 2007
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Orangeville.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval.
Out on the deck in the backyard this evening and looking to the south a bright object appeared flying at an altitude of about 5 to 7 thousand feet. It looked at first to be flying in a northerly direction then seemed to arc in a more easterly then southeasterly direction. Moved at about the same rate of speed a satellite would, but visibly wasn't moving in a straight line as a satellite does. The light off the object seemed to flare out to the sides slightly. It gave the impression of a wobble. There was a small aircraft heading to the southeast as well flying at a lower altitude which seemed to bank and drop its altitude to have a look at what this was also. There is a small airport 20 km south of here, and Pearson is about 40km from here.We've seen plenty of planes and satellites in the sky, this light was neither in our opinion.

West Bolton, Quebec (Brome Lake Area) A Perfectly Round White Light
Date: August 3, 2007
Time: 9:00 - 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: West Bolton, Qc (Brome Lake area).
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: Many.
Shape of objects: One round, some undetermined.
A friend and I were spending some time with my brother at his country home.. Sometime around 9:00 pm we stepped outside to take a look at the sky, there were thunderstorm warnings and we were curious about how they were shaping up.
We found that we were surrounded by gigantic storm clouds that took a horseshoe shape around us, we were sitting in a very still air mass with the storm clouds many miles away in all directions.
It was a storm like none of us have ever seen, the lightning was contained within the clouds, mostly running horizontally over incredible distances. There was even a bright red ball that followed the top of the cloud formation from left to right, then returned to the left and disappeared. I know that these atmospheric phenomena are easily explainable, it was what we saw next that really caught our attention.
We noticed that there were quite a few aircraft that seemed to be flying close to the top of the cloud formation to the north, the sky was very dark but we could see their red and white lights flashing. They would fly over the storm towards the east then return to where they started, I think there might have been three of them at one time. Remember, we're watching this from at least 20 miles away.
The next thing we saw was the strangest. The sky above us was perfectly clear, when we looked directly above our heads we saw a bright white light traveling towards the east. It was perfectly round, it almost looked like a cool white light bulb taking a straight path through the sky. Then we noticed the airplane that was following it on exactly the same path, probably about 3 seconds behind it. We discussed it to try to determine their altitude, the plane seemed to be around 1/2 inch from wingtip to wingtip at arm's length. This led us to believe that they were only a couple of thousand feet above us. The round light was at least as big as the plane following it.
By the time the white light entered the cloud bank and disappeared, the plane had fallen way behind, it disappeared about 10 seconds later.
I tried to get footage with my video camera, I was able to catch a lot of the lightning inside the cloud bank but the sky was too dark to capture the smaller objects, I couldn't see anything in my viewfinder while trying to film the white ball and its escort.

Fundy Park Alma, New Brunswick Reddish Colored Light Moving In Fast Random Directions
Date: August 3, 2007
Time: Approx: 10:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Fundy Park, Alma, NB.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round - Star like.
My niece, husband and I were camping. We star gazed the big dipper and it was very bright and beautiful. I starred at it for a minute or more when I noticed an orangey-red star just above the middle of the "scoop" of the dipper. It was not as bright as the star above it, but similar in size the color made me look at it. I pointed it out to my niece because of the reddish color, no other reason. But then as I looked at it some more, it began to move. It moved very quickly in short random movements not really leaving the same area. It would not be noticeable unless looking directly at it. I had my niece look at it to and she agreed it was moving in fast random directions. Even my husband who did not want to look at first, saw it move strangely too. I watched it for 10 minutes or more but the fog rolled in and we could not check it again. My husband dismissed it as a satellite. I have seen satellites and I know they orbit, not stay in one area. I tried to find a scientific answer to this, looking on astrology websites, Government of Canada websites, anything that could help me figure out what I saw. Perhaps this is a known star because of the way it is made shines through our atmosphere and distorts itself? As a desperate measure I began searching the UFO possibilities. And UFO descriptions are the only ones that come close to what I saw. I want someone to explain to me what I saw, but I do not want my personal info given.(Stigma) Any response on this site would be greatly appreciated.

Kelowna, British Columbia More Unusual UFO Sightings In Kelowna
Date: August 3/4, 2007
Time: 11ish Friday night and into early Saturday morning.
Location of Sighting: Kelowna B.C.
Number of witnesses: 2/3
Number of objects: Number of different.
Shape of objects: Fire balls/star looking craft/meteor type.
I was sitting in the back yard star gazing with friends and family. I noticed a slow moving fireball, which was low and below the cloud line. It was traveling and burning up then it like exploded into pieces then disappeared. About ten minutes later there was another one coming in at the same direction, again below the light cloud line. It flew right over head, "no sound". It kept flying and eventually burnt out but it was going too slow to me to be anything I know. It was like you could still see it going after it burnt out not sure might be the eyes playing tricks, but there was, three of us that witnessed that.
Not sure earlier or later there was like a shooting star with a vapor trail traveling north to south. It was an interesting night none the less.
After the family went to bed, we, two of us noticed three dots flying in formation of a triangle. The two bottom ones were out front as the top one caught up. It looked like the stars were playing. They were way too high to be a jet and traveling too slow to be satellites, as one of them caught up to the other two. Not sure what to say, but I thought it would be something of importance to let you know.

Reno, Nevada Desert Objects The Size Of Venus Keep Witness Entertained
Date: August 5, 2007
Time: 12.30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Reno desert.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Lights about twice the size of Venus.
I was driving to SLC (salt lake city). After passing Reno, and crossing into the desert, I immediately saw a bright orange-yellow light peeking through a small hole in the clouds. I shouted to my co-worker, that there was a UFO there. He said, no it's just a star.
So I asked him if the clouds were moving or still. He said they were 'obviously moving' so I asked him how then could that 'star' continue to be centered in the middle of the hole in the clouds? He said it was because the car was moving so it just seemed as though the star was moving. I think he is not ready to acknowledge the existence of UFOs.
Anyway, he went to sleep and I continued to be entertained by what was now 4 lights 'crawling' on the clouds, jumping from place to place, and gliding through the bigger spaces between the clouds.
They were about twice the size of Venus. Generally, they were white, although at times they appeared to be either amber or light orange.
It seems I was able to communicate with them as well. Just to make certain that I wasn't seeing just stars with clouds moving fast and giving the impression the stars were moving, I asked them to 'go on top of the clouds'. Immediately they responded and did just that.
Even when they disappeared into the clouds, I asked where they were and they immediately peeked through the clouds.
They kept me entertained for over 4 hours, leaving only when it started to get light.
I have seen so many UFOs this past week it must mean something, although I do not know what.

Croydon, Surrey A Round White Object (UFO)
Date: August 5, 2007
Time: Approx: midday.
Location of Sighting: Shirley Road, Croydon.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval.
I was at a Garden Centre in Shirley Road Croydon with my girlfriend on Sunday at around midday. I was standing with our trolley whilst my girlfriend was looking at plants in the outdoor part of the garden centre. I was looking west and noticed a round white object travelling north. At first I thought it was a plane or helicopter, however, the more I looked at it, the more I realized that there were no wings or any features. It was just a plain white oval object. The speed at which it was travelling told me that it wasn't a balloon either. I estimate from the distance I was from it, that it was larger and travelling faster than a passenger plane. I pointed it out to my girlfriend who was more interested in the plants so I didn't get much of a response. I lost sight of it when it went behind some flats immediately next to the garden centre.
This is the second object I have seen recently. A couple of months ago, a red orb passed at speed during the day directly over my garden in Addiscombe Croydon. At first from I distance I thought it was a balloon, but the speed that it was travelling at and its straight line trajectory made me think twice. It came over quite low and I could tell it definitely wasn't a balloon.
I have studied the UFO phenomena since I saw a fantastic UFO as a child and I'm always looking to the skies. These are the first 2 objects i have seen in years that i cannot explain.

Hanover, Ontario A Bright Orange Light (Light Moves Then Stops)
Date: August 6, 2007. Time: 10:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Hanover/Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 6. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright orange light.
We saw a bright orange light moving across the sky like a satellite would.. But much lower and it would move at a good speed then stop. Then move and repeat this until it was out of sight. It moved NE and if we moved east to follow it, it would disappear. But if we moved back west it was there. Which we assumed would be a vertical disk or something if we stayed behind it. We could see the light of it if we moved ahead of it, we couldn't stay moving NE, then it went strait North. Basically in Hanover, Ontario. We saw it to the north moving East, heading towards Durham. It then shot North heading towards Owen Sound.
