Bright Orange UFO Makes Sudden Change In Direction Over Edmonton Alberta

Full Description of Event/Sighting: On September 25, 2010 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, my husband and I were out in our backyard enjoying an unusually warm and clear evening. We had our binoculars with us and had been looking up star constellations as well as viewing the full moon (Sept 23). After some time, we set the binoculars down and continued to view the skies unaided. Suddenly, at approximately 9:30 pm, an unusual bright orange, pulsating, light appeared out of the southeast and approached our location tracking northeast.

As it continued to near, I scrambled to ascertain what I was looking at and quickly ruled out airplane, helicopter, and meteorite. It was travelling at a speed faster than a plane, but slower than a meteorite and the intensity of the light grew as it neared. I didn't want to appear stupid by saying anything aloud and remember thinking, "What the hell is that?" when my husband standing beside me blurted out those exact words.

Dumbfounded, we continued our viewing. Although it was an extremely clear, cloudless night, the object appeared to have a sort of "mistiness" around the pulsating (not blinking), orange center giving it a slightly triangular shape. We continued to watch as it flew just above the neighboring housetop directly in front of us. It was completely silent which was odd considering that anything flying that low and close, emitting any sound at all would have ordinarily been heard.

We continued to watch until it tracked behind a tree in our backyard. It was at this time that I remembered the binoculars and raced with them in hand to the other side of the tree. Once in the sight of the binoculars, my mind again struggled to understand what I was viewing. It seemed to have some kind of "center" to it, but I couldn't make out what it was. By this time, the object had tracked into the light of the moon and suddenly changed it’s course sharply, veering at a right angle east and away from our vantage point.

A second or two later, it was completely gone. Although my husband and I conflict slightly over the duration of the viewing, we agree that it was likely in a range between 15 and 30 seconds start to finish. One last important point that bears mentioning: from all the subsequent videos I've viewed since our experience, although similar, our encounter differs in that the object appeared much closer, larger and brighter.

Although I cannot speculate with any degree of certainty, what the actual altitude or size of the object might have been, it was, however, much larger and closer than most of the videos I've viewed that usually depict objects off in the distance and high in the sky. For the most part, these videos also lack the extent and detail of the misty halo that was very evident in our encounter. The best analogy I could give for size and location: Hold a quarter at arm's length away, slightly higher than your line of vision.
