Number of witnesses: 10 plus.
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Bullet shaped, solid craft.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: After dinner, we
were playing baseball on public school grounds. I was outfield. I noticed that
the batter was on the ground covering his head and screaming, other kids were
pointing at the sky behind me.
I turned around and looked up to where they were
pointing. I was transfixed, in awe, I was not scared, in fact, very calm,
almost serene. The object was bullet shaped at the front and probably 100 feet
long, flying at about 30 to 40 miles and hour approximately 100 feet overhead.
It seemed to have a clear trajectory. It gave off a
low hum, brilliant silver at the nose, then a blue/turquoise fading to more
silver, less bright. I did not see any windows, but did get a sense of a craft
or solid shape. It flew directly overhead and towards me and then I had to turn
back around as I followed it's path.
Then it suddenly sped up, this is when I could see the
rear of the object and it left a brief trail of silver/orange light behind it
as it turned abruptly to the east (towards Niagara Falls). It picked up speed
almost immediately and disappeared into a dusky sky.
The total viewing time would have been about 2
minutes. I got on my bike and flew home to my parents, breathless (now I was
scared and panting from excitement) to find that my father, mother, grandfather
and brother also saw it, all of which were in our backyard at the time.
My father (an engineer) called my brother in from the
backyard for fear of his safety. He said he did this when he noticed the craft
turning and moving away. This event changed my life forever. I have always
wondered if there were any other people who actually reported this to the St.
Catharines Standard.
We heard later that it was a weather balloon. As a kid
of about 12 in grade 8, I had already seen meteors and comets, and we lived in
an area close to airports and were accustomed to seeing all kinds of planes
and jets etc. .
I am absolutely certain that I was blessed with a true
encounter with a UFO. Since then I have searched the sky's in many places on
this earth hoping to see one again.
