Full Description of Event/Sighting: In mid July of this year (2010), Myself and my girlfriend were camping at a local park where I have a seasonal trailer site. Everyone had gone to bed, so my girlfriend and I went for a stroll at about 2:00am. I was picking my guitar and I happened to look up and I saw a strange light moving irregularly. I said "look at that" and my girlfriend looked and simply stated WOW!
We walked to a darker area with less light and watched this light move slow, then accelerate quickly. It would make 90 degree turns in an instant, then do crazy things like a figure 8 for example and we watched this from 2:00am until sun up. While watching the rest of the sky using peripheral vision, I noticed movement again and we saw a very slow moving triangular light shape. It was moving very slow and sometimes would even come to a complete stop.
While we were watching the triangle, other smaller lights would move with it, or very fast light streaks would pass it very closely. After about 20 minutes, it disappeared so we went back to watching this other light.
Sometimes I would flick my lighter with my arm held high and the light seemed to react to it. At one point it even appeared to descend coming towards our location, then it would stop, then take off quickly to the right or left. This happened a few times. We watched this until the sun came up and this light was the last visible light in the sky as the sun rose.
In mid August, myself and my brother were returning from a friends house when we noticed a large, very bright light that appeared to be just hovering. It was quite a ways away and as we watched it grew even larger, then started to move then slowly fizzled out. We watched this thing for an hour and a half and it always appeared in the same place and did the same thing, sometimes it would rise quickly and then fizzle out as it fell.
On July 19, 2010 my band played at a Hawaiian Luau at my trailer park. Several people witnessed this quick event, including my band mates. We observed a bright light in the western sky and it looked like an airplane with it's landing light on, except it wasn't moving or didn't appear to be.
We watched it for 5 minutes or so, then it appeared to be moving towards us and it wasn't very high in the sky, between 100 or 200 feet. We were mesmerized trying to figure what this thing was, then we noticed how low it was. It was over the campground now and we could see a smoke trail and actually hear like a sizzling sound and closer up this thing looked like a kite that was on fire as it flickered like a fire.
We were right on the edge of the campground property and it was easy to see that no-one was flying a burning kite. As it came closer, it got really bright then slowly faded out and disappeared. We were all left scratching our heads and I heard many people ask, "what the hell was that?" To this day, we've had no explanation.
This is my encounter story, I know what I saw and it was very real and I am not embarrassed or ashamed to share it with anyone. My only regret is that we never got pictures or video and ever since then I keep my eyes peeled on the heavens at night whenever I can with digital camera and video recorder. I am a firm believer in what I saw and now firmly believe in other intelligent life. Thanks for the opportunity to report my sightings as it feels really good to get this off my chest without being ridiculed. Sincerely, (name removed) Stratford, Ontario.
