Unknown Orange Object Observed Between Gibbons And Redwater Alberta

 

Date:  January 30, 2012

Time:  Evening.

 

I was online looking for articles and I came across yours. Last night (January 30, 2012) my daughter and her husband, who live on a big acreage between Gibbons and Redwater, watched for over 1 1/2 hours as an orange object moved about the northeast sky. 

 

She said it made no noise, hovered at times and moved up, down, or to either side many times, seeming to be heading in a more easterly direction towards Redwater. She got her videocam and caught the image, but without a tripod she was having difficulty holding the camera steady enough for long enough to get a really clear video. 

 

Also, there were no stars visible that she was able to film alongside the object, thereby not giving any reference point or size approximation to any expert who might want to see the video. Her husband said he had seen this same thing once before but hadn't mentioned it to her. 

 

Neither of them are "flakes" or given to seeing things that aren't there, so that is why I am convinced that she was sincere in believing that they saw something that wasn't a star, a satellite or an airplane or helicopter. 

 

She called the Telus World of Science this a.m. and spoke to their astronomer who was very anxious to offer many plausible explanations about helicopters, long distance fires, etc. etc., but wasn't too interested in considering any type of non-man-made object.

 

I doubt if this information will do anything to expand your horizon on the issue, but it was interesting to me to see someone who had seen something and described it exactly the same way my daughter had described it, both sightings within a couple of weeks of each other.

 

I've suggested to my daughter that she get the tripod set and ready in case they get another chance to see this thing again. I also came across quite a few other "sightings" of "round, silent, orange object" in the sky around Edmonton while I was looking at your post. These ones were somewhat older - November 2011, e.g.

Gibbons, Alberta A Planet Like Blob Of Light (UFO)

Posted: September 27, 2008

Date: September 27, 2008
Time: 8:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Gibbons Alberta.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Planet-like blob of light.

Full Description of event/sighting: We were out walking in the valley that runs beside and through town when we spotted this bright light almost directly above us. It was the size of a Jupiter or Venus when they are at their largest and low on the horizon. So a very large blob of light and kind of orange-yellow like you would expect a planet or reflecting object to be.

We didn't realize it was moving at first because of the tree tops waving around and we were moving too, but then it became apparent that it was tracking East-by-North-East, and actually moving quite rapidly. Faster than an airplane or satellite.

There were no flashing lights whatsoever and the object did not change intensity or colour the entire time it was in view (two to three minutes).

We ran up the hill to follow it before we lost it behind the trees (which obscured a great portion of the sky from where we were down in the valley) but despite this it managed to disappear behind some treetops for about 10-15 seconds, during which it vanished.

When we emerged from the trees, there were no clouds in the vicinity of sky it vanished in.

I thought it was maybe the International Space Station, but this was in the wrong hemisphere at the time, and travels the opposite direction anyway. It also was not a weather balloon as the winds were very strong and heading south east, not E-NE. It was not a meteor because it was too slow, and left no vapor trail of any kind. It was not a plane since it was a single circular blob of light (much like a very large planet) with nothing flashing.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
