Emma Lake, Saskatchewan Bright Light Moves Quickly, Then Stops

Posted: December 27, 2007

Date: Summer 1993 or 1994 Time: After midnight.

Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Unknown.

Full Description of event/sighting: Was looking up at the night sky, looking for satellites and shooting stars, when we saw a very bright light moving very quickly south to north. If it hadn't stopped moving, we might have thought it was a shooting star. But it then stopped, stayed still for 10-15 seconds, then raced south for a couple of seconds, then back north for a few seconds, stayed still again, then took off very quickly, faster than before, heading south.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, It was a clear summer night when we saw the light, no clouds at all, +15 degrees, no moon. The sky was full of stars, and we were leaning back in our lawn chairs looking for satellites. The entire sighting lasted maybe 40 seconds. There weren't any flashing lights visible, just the light itself. It was far enough away that it looked like a very bright star, except it was bigger, was hard to tell how far it was, but it was fairly high up. We saw the light while we were camping at Emma Lake, approx. 1/2 hour north of Prince Albert, SK. It is a fairly unpopulated area, a few small towns and cabins at the lakes in the area, just southeast of Prince Albert National Park.

The nearest airport is in Prince Albert, a fairly small airport, and there is also a Fire Control Center in P.A. with aircraft - water bombers and some helicopters. As far as I know, there are no military installations close to us, the nearest being in Cold Lake, AB, on the border with Saskatchewan, or in Moose Jaw, 5 hrs. to the south of us. We didn't see any aircraft or lights following the big light, and when it left it went so fast that it zoomed across the sky and disappeared so quickly I don't think anything could have caught up to it. When the light was stationary, it stayed still as far as we could tell. Again, it was fairly high up, just looked like a very bright, large star, but bigger and brighter than any I've seen. I've never seen any aircraft that could move that fast, stop and start that quickly, or change directions like that. If I remember anything else, I'll let you know. Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
