Full Description of event/sighting: Dear Brian, I was not going to report this because it was so long ago, but now I am curious if I was the only to see it.

I was sitting outside on our back step with my father, one late August night in 1977. It was a very clear night over Brandon, MB and the stars shining bright with no moon. The night was very calm and there was not a breath of wind in the air. My father and I had been sitting outside for about 45 min to an hour, when he went inside to get himself something to drink. I continued to sit outside looking up at the westerly night sky. Being eleven years old, I had a love for the blanket of stars that covered me each night.

It was not long after my father had gone inside that I noticed a huge object in the sky off in the west and approaching towards my direction.

I first thought maybe it was a big helicopter or a huge transport plane, but quickly realized there were no lights. As the object approached, I could distinguish the out line of the object from the shadow it cast being below the nights stars. The object was massive approximately the size of a football field and what made me realize that it was not a cloud that I was looking at was it was total flat edges and the smooth steady movement. As I had said there was no a breath of wind so this seemed a very particular sight. Its shape was the same as a football field and it looked like it could set perfectly into a football field and take up all the field including end zones. If I was to guess I would say it must have been 30 to 40 feet high. I would also guess that it might have been 500 to 800 feet in the air.

As the object continued in an easterly direction it was now almost right above me. I was on my feet, my mouth wide open..in in utter confusion as the object was passing over the house. I continued to look at this object and tried to see what it was.. all I could make out was the outline though. The object was totally dark underneath. It was squared at the corners with no lights, and I couldn't here any sounds. I then realized my father had not come back out yet and was missing this. By that point I was yelling for him to come outside and see this. He was not responding so I ran inside to get him to come outside and see it. I grabbed him and told him he had to see this. I was inside for maybe 15 to 20 seconds when he came back out side with me on the west side of the house where we had been sitting I could not see the object. I realized it had moved on and told him it must be out front. We ran around the house to the east side but the object had disappeared, just a clear sky with all the stars shining.still not a cloud.

I have kept this to myself since it happened and never talked about it, but since I have had other sightings recently I have decided to see if there were any others who may have seen what I had witnessed. I guess it was tuff to believe that something as massive as this object was, could be in the sky. And also, being eleven years old I was still unsure of all our capabilities that we may have had in the sky. After not being able to make sense of what I had witnessed I sort of had decided that it was a unknown military craft, but didn't really give it too much more thought till recently. So, there ya go.

Thank you to the eyewitness for the report.
