Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hello Brian, I popped out to walk the dog and have a cig, and looked up in the overcast western sky for a few moments. I turned to walk back up our path and caught a glimpse of a bright light over my right shoulder out of the corner of my eye. It was pretty low and very bright, so I paused and waited. About 3 blocks over, about 500 feet high it appeared silently, and slowly made it’s way in a straight line gradually getting lower in a easterly direction over the River.
From the time I spotted the light which was bright red with flashes of white light, not dull at all and not changing in intensity either, until the time it reached the river, I would say 8 to 10 seconds had passed.
The distance covered would be about 4 blocks. It was the only thing visible in the overcast sky, I heard planes earlier in the day and I could not see them because of the cloud cover, there were no visible stars tonight either. This was entirely silent, very steady and very low in the sky. Too low in my opinion to be an aircraft.
When this object was very close to my location, it was exactly the height of the cliffs on the south side of the river. I could make out the dark shadow of the cliff of the Komoka Provincial Park as the light flew steadily in front of it (the cliff). If my estimation is correct, then the object/light would have had to be lower than the actual tree line! (150 to 200 feet) Even on a cloudy night like tonight you can clearly make out the white of the sky behind the black leafless trees at this distance.
There is nothing obstructing my view except a few large trees in my own yard, nothing that I can't just step around in order to get a better look if you know what I mean. So, having said that, when I noted with amazement the very low altitude, and the close proximity of what I was observing this light just disappeared. It didn't fade out, it zipped away and it didn't reappear anywhere in the sky in the 25 or so minutes I was outside.
I hate to say this, let alone think it, but one can only imagine that that maybe it was trying to land. I don't know what to think, it was very surreal.
Thank you for your time.
