HBCC UFO Research Note: I have added a photo that the witness allowed me to post, as for the video footage, I have seen it and it looks interesting. But I was asked not to post the footage and I certainly will be honoring this request.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, I thought I sent this in to the site the day after it occurred, maybe I did, but maybe I just can't find it on the site! Anyway, here is what I wrote the day after I saw a silver object south of Moose Jaw, SK.
"Last night, two of my friends and I were walking around when I seen something flash out of the corner of my eye. I turned, and seen an ovalish-silver thing floating in the sky. I said, "Do you guys see that silver thing?" both of them said they did see it. We kind of watched it for a few minutes, not knowing what it was. It didn't make any sound, there was no smoke trail or anything. It looked like as if it was flashing every now and then. I ran into my house, got my video camera, and told my mom to come outside and see this. I filmed it until it disappeared into some pink clouds with a flash.
We ran to a park and stood in a soccer field trying to see it. We were there for a good 20 minutes, when we decided to go to a much bigger farmer's field to try and see it. Well about half a block away from the field, my friend spotted it again. It was going much slower and a few times it looked like it stopped moving. I started taping again, but it was farther away and was disappearing. We filmed it until we couldn't see it anymore."
Said tape went missing for a few years and wasn't found until the summer of 2007. Unfortunately, the tape had deteriorated somewhat. I filmed the footage off my TV. Since the tape became partially destroyed, the audio cuts in and out and the picture flickers somewhat in the first minute. The audio I have no problem with as the object didn't make a sound. In the movie, it appears as if the object is moving erratically - it's not, that's just my jittery camera skills!
Anyway, most people think it was an airplane or a weather balloon. The object was in the southern sky, toward 15 Wing Moose Jaw. I can definitely say that is not an ordinary plane. People have suggested that it was a glider, I don't think so. The weather balloon scenario could be possible, though I've never seen one before. A few days ago I contacted a worker at the air base and he told me this that in the summer, the flying usually ceases at 6:30 pm, so the likelihood that someone at the base saw the object is remote. So, I am coming to you with my tape and a description of what I saw. Let me know what you think.
Thank you to the witness for their report and photo.
