Full Description of Event/Sighting: My friend,(who is now deceased), my cousin and I were at his family cottage in Kinmount Ontario right by the Burnt River in the summer. His cottage was approx: 100' from the river, and there's was a small bridge close by where we used to go fishing or whatever.
Anyway, the three of us walked over to the bridge after a long night of partying, and we were all pretty sober by that time which was approx: between 4:00-5:00 a.m.. The sky was so clear and we could see the stars uninterrupted by any city lights, and the moon was behind us in the opposite direction, and there wasn't even a breeze that night.
It was so quiet except for the mosquitoes flying about our heads as we all stood there on the bridge, elbows on the railing, smoking our cigarettes and looking across the river talking, cracking jokes, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Across from the river, and it's wasn't a very wide river, one could see the tree line of the forest, and that's it, no other cottages or tents, nada. As we were standing there talking, I noticed across the lake directly above the tree line, approx: 200-400 feet in the air, I'm not a good judge of distance, a large green round sphere/ball of light just hovering there. It was solid in colour and so there wasn't any transparency, and it didn't give off a radiance like that of the sun or a light bulb.
So, it didn't light up the night sky, it didn't pulsate, it was just a bright green light and it was perfectly round and totally silent. I kept starring at it and I was unaware that the fellows had also stopped talking as they were watching it too. So we were, all silently watching as this perfectly round green sphere/ball, hovered in the night sky just ahead of us across the river.
It was the same colour green you would see at a stop light, and if you were to take a ping pong ball and hold it at arms length in-front of you, that's how big the green round sphere/ball, or whatever you want to call it, was over the tree line across the river. It began to move up at a great speed into the air at a 45 degree angle and then back to it's starting position again.
Then it shot straight up in the air approx: 1000 feet above the trees just as quickly and back, and then it moved across the top of trees and back again. Then it shot up once again at a 45 degree angle and back again. Then without warning it took off at a 45 degree angle one last time, and it was so fast that it took my breath away, and then it was gone! I was so disappointed that it was gone as I stood there in the silent night not even being aware of my friends, because my mind was reeling from what just happened.
When all of a sudden I excitedly burst out loud, "Did you see that!" Their response, which was just as excited as mine was, "You saw that too!" We all got that nervous laughter and we began to talk so fast and we got so wired awake that it felt like each of us drank six cups of coffee, LOL!
So we ascertained that we had all seen it and we spent several more hours on that bridge brainstorming as to what it could have been. My friend thought that it might have been a weather balloon, and then it was concluded that weather balloons don't make maneuvers like that and that quickly, and then shoot up out of the sky at lightning speed. My cousin thought that it was perhaps a hot air balloon, and then it was concluded that it would have been to dangerous to fly in the dark, plus they don't have the capability to move that fast. Those movements were direct, precise and deliberate, and that tells me that there is an intelligent element behind it. After a great deal trying to figure it all out, we all came to the same conclusion that;
A. It wasn't a hot air balloon
B. It wasn't a weather balloon
C. That it might have been some secret project that belonged to either our military or a top secret group that is conducting experiments in that area.
D. Or that it wasn't something from our planet at all.
My personal belief is that it was something not of this world, but far in a distance galaxy.
I have never forgotten that moment and never will. I had already been watching the skies for UFO's for a few years before that, but that one really took me by surprise because I wasn't thinking about UFO's that night. I'm hoping that one day I will come across something like that again, only this time I hope to have a camera with me. So there ya go, that's my experience, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me anytime after 2:00 p.m.. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share this. Have a great day!
