South-West Guelph, Ontario A Large Orange Ball

Posted: January 19, 2008

Date: August 2, 2006 Time: 9:45 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 3 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Large Orange ball.

Full Description of event/sighting: We were watching a very violent August thunderstorm when my father noticed orange lightening in the South-West over the rural Guelph area. We soon realized that it wasn't lightening, but a very bright glowing orange ball over the tree line. The ball would remain stationary and exceptionally bright for several minutes, then suddenly stopped. This on/off pattern occurred for approximately 12 minutes. It was a clear round object with the orange colour of a flare.

We speculated that it may have been a chemical fire or that a hydro transformer had been hit by lightening. A review of the local news this morning reveals no fires or explosions in the area the previous day/night. It was very bright and any fellow storm watchers should have seen this event. I'm hoping you receive other witness accounts to collaborate our odd sighting.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.
