Date: May 15, 2005 Time: 10:40 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1 Full Description of event/sighting: We live far away from city lights, so I can often be found outside on a clear night looking at the stars. I was doing just that on Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 10:40 p.m. when I noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving north to south.
As I watched it I couldn't help thinking that something wasn't quite right. The object was a little too large for a satellite, and it was moving a little too slowly. It even appeared to alter course slightly from south to south-south-east, but I discounted this as overactive imagination.. I watched it cruise out of sight over the tree tops, and was then distracted by some young raccoons chattering somewhere in the woods, so I went to investigate.
A minute later I returned, and for no good reason turned my eyes to the south-east, near where the object had disappeared. Just above the tree tops was a similar object - I can't say it was the same object, because I had lost sight of it for a while, but it was the same size and shape (spherical). It was also a bit brighter than before.
What happened next completely floored me. Suddenly the object became brilliantly white, and the circle of light started to expand, rapidly! The effect was of something rushing toward me, and I almost moved out of instinct, but nothing could move that quickly. At the peak of its expansion it appeared to virtually boil, like a white hot chemical explosion.
As quickly as this began, it reversed, and the light decayed smoothly back to a point, and then disappeared. The entire sequence from "ignition" to "shutdown" took no more than 2 or 3 seconds.
As the light decayed a craft emerged from the brilliance as if shot from a canon, and smoothly ascended up to the heavens. I watched with my jaw hanging open until it grew too small to see, a process that took perhaps 15 seconds. It did not accelerate, it did not slow, it did not turn.
The craft ejected from the ball of light was elongated, about 4 times as long as it was wide. It didn't give the impression of being cylindrical - the appearance was more that of a quartz crystal. It had a slightly reddish, rusty hue. There was no sign of wings, no sign of propulsion, no lights. The craft was illuminated only by the sun over the horizon.
I'm a mechanical engineer by trade, so I'm pretty current when it comes to man-made technology. I thought to myself that I might have seen a rocket staging, but that wouldn't fit, because there was no engine glow from the ascending craft, and where would a multi-stage rocket come from here in southern Ontario? I also tried out the idea of a fighter jet hitting the afterburners, but the craft had no wings.
I have no idea what I witnessed, and I have no explanation, so I'm reporting it to you. Have you ever received a report of anything similar, or for that matter a report of the same incident from another observer? I'll keep a watch on your web site to see if anything similar comes up.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you to the eyewitness for the very interesting report. I will see what arrangements I can make to have a conversation with the person as this is an unusual sighting.

Nelson, British Columbia Black Triangle
Posted: January 11, 2008
Date: May 18, 2005 Time: Just after midnight.
The night was very cloudy but there were a number of large clear patches. I was driving south towards Nelson on Highway 3A and noticed in one of the clear patches a triangular shaped craft (lights) sailing slowly along. The object was traveling towards the south west. I thought it was odd looking, so I quickly pulled the truck over to the side of the road and watched. I saw four lights on it, three amber colored lights showing a triangular shape, or three points of light on each tip. The fourth light, red in color seemed to be directly in the center. None of the lights were flashing at anytime. I heard no sound as the craft sailed slowly overhead. I was able to watch it for approx: eight seconds before I lost sight of it because the object moved into another cloud bank. It was a eerie sight and to be honest I felt kind of frightened. Whatever it was had to have been huge, I couldn't even begin to guess at it's size.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Calgary, Alberta Bright White Light
Posted: January 11, 2008
Date: May 21, 2005 Time: 11:55 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Bright White Light.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I were sitting on the deck outside facing eastwards when I noticed a concentrated bright white light in the sky. It seemed to be pretty high up and was stationery. At first I thought it could be a plane but there was no noise at all (plus no movement). I then thought maybe a helicopter hovering (as there are a few police helicopters that circle around every now and then) but again no noise and the police usually have beam lights that show a trail of light, plus it seemed way too high).
I then pointed the light out to my wife and we looked at it for about 15-20 seconds when suddenly the light just went out.
I then got up and stood around for 10 minutes to see if I could see anything else but all I could see were faint stars through the cloud (which wasn't very heavy).
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Cambridge, Ontario Green Light Going In Circles
Posted: January 11, 2008
Date: May 27, 2005 Time: 9:15 pm to 11:30 pm
Location of Sighting: Dam in Cambridge. Number of witnesses: 7 Number of objects: 3 Shape of objects: Triangle
Full Description of event/sighting: It was about 9:15, myself and two friends were fishing when my friend looked up in the sky and saw a green light going in circles. We all watched it and about 5 minutes later there was three large triangular shaped (crafts), things in the center of the circling light. We thought we were going crazy so we stopped a cop and asked him what they were, and he said there not spot lights, because you would be able to see the light ray. The police took off with his lights on. We went home and laid on the trampoline and watched it after a while. We could see what looked like waves go through the sky but they were thin, so we knew it was not lightning. Then my friend got his parents to look and they could not explain it either so, we went inside and went to bed.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Port Moody, British Columbia Cluster Of Objects Over Heritage Mountain
Posted: January 11, 2008
Date: May 27, 2005 Time: Approx: 10:31 p.m.
Not to much new around here, have seen a few objects on Kat Kam usually on the last frame for the day but unable to determine just what they are. About ten minutes ago I saw a small plane flying east over near Heritage Mountain. Took a quick peak through my binoculars and determined it was a small Sea Plane, but was surprised to see what looked like a cluster of large balloons at about the same altitude only closer to the mountain. The balloons if that is what they were appeared to be larger than the plane.
The balloons were laid out in the above pattern, only closer to the horizontal, if the outlying balloons were approx:. six feet in diameter then the main ones at the bottom of the V would have been approx:. twelve feet in diameter and the two immediately above them approx:. four feet. After the plane went by the balloons appeared to be moving slowly south. I watched for a minute or two and then grabbed my video camera. During the minute or so it took me to find a tape and insert it. They balloons appeared to reverse direction as I had a heck of a time finding them in the viewfinder of the camera. I did managed to get a minute or two of video and then decided to try to get a closer look through my spotting scope. That again took a minute or two to get out and during that time they all disappeared.
I scanned the whole area with both pairs of binoculars but was unable to locate them. If they were balloons (which is what they appeared to be.) I just don't understand how they could move fast enough to just vanish like that. The outlying ones appeared to be a three of a dark blue and the one in the middle of the formation appeared to be a dark red. The sun had just set but it was still quite light. The big main ones appeared to be black also the smaller ones appeared to be black. They were probably about six or seven thousand feet when I lost sight of them.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Terrace, British Columbia Ball Of White light
Posted: January 11, 2008
Date: May 28, 2005 Time: 00.15
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Ball of white light.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, tonight I witnessed a white ball of light which flew overhead coming from south-westerly direction and flying into north-eastern direction. The object, estimated 4000 meters high, it did not change it's brilliant white appearance. It did not react to any of my visual attempts, via lighter, and continued into the above direction before disappearing behind mountains. The sky was clear, some haze above, but unlimited vision.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
