Lat 50 40.60N. Long 120 21.02W
Approach Direction: One object, traveling North-East to South-West. Departure Direction: South-West, disappearing into the shadow cast by the earth. visible for about 4 seconds. Witness Direction: West.
Description: I was walking east along a park lane with our dog, I glanced west up into a clear blue evening sky and saw a glittering object pass between the moon and Venus, then vanish while going on a straight southerly trajectory. The remarkable thing about the object was that it appeared to be only 10 KM away at about 40 degrees POV angle, however I realized it was much further away and glittering from the rays of the sun that had already gone below the horizon. It became invisible once it had entered the earth's shadow.
Color/Shape: A polished chrome triangular-shaped object that caught the rays of the sun, making it glitter as it spiraled. Imagine a highly-polished hunting arrow shape that rotates as it travels, causing the sun to glitter off its surface with each rotation.
From my POV it is possible the object was not earthbound, but rather entering and exiting the stratosphere at an oblique angle. If it was in the stratosphere it was larger than a passenger jet. The object's glittering was brighter than Venus, which was also visible at the same moment.
Height & Speed: the object matched the speed of a meteor without any vapour trail or sound, glittering in the sun then disappearing into the earth's shadow.
Thank you to UFOINFO for this report. http://www.ufoinfo.com/

Northeast Of Calgary, Alberta A Rapidly Moving Light
Posted: January 28, 2008
Date: June 25, 2007 Time: Approx: 11:50 p.m.
Tonight at approximately 11:50pm I spotted what appeared to be a rapidly moving star – at first I thought it was a satellite, but based on my previous observations of satellite movements, this object was moving far too quickly to be a satellite. It moved in a northward direction, but was quite faint and I found it difficult to track the object’s movement. I watched the object for between 30 seconds and 1 minute. The security light was on by our garage (impeding my ability to track the object), and as the object continued moving southward, I lost sight of it. I walked over to the outdoor light and unplugged it to see if I could locate the object again, and after approx. 1 minute, I located the object a second time (however, it could have been a second object, as I did lose track of this object for approx. 1 minute. The object was now tracking southward at was moving at approximately the same speed.
From my position, the object was traveling at a trajectory that was in-between the moon (to the southwest) and what I assumed to be Venus (to the southeast) – it being the brightest “star” in night sky. After tracking the star-like object for approx: 30 seconds, out of the corner of my eye I spotted a shooting star – to my left (east). The shooting star shot rapidly across the sky and then disappeared, and I continued watching the star-like object as it continued on its’ southward journey for approx. another 30 seconds (although it may have been longer – perhaps a 1 minute) before losing sight of this object – i.e. in total, the object took between 1 and 1 ½ minutes to travel across the sky from its’ original north position to where I lost sight of it in the southern sky. Note: I did not track the object all the way to a southern horizon position – instead, it seemed to grow fainter until reaching a point where the object was no longer in sight. I went inside and told my wife what I saw, and then went back outside to see if I could locate the object a third time – however, the object did not reappear.
Additional Information:
Hi Brian,
I still had too much adrenaline in my system after the White Stripes concert tonight, so I thought I would do some star gazing. Since my initial sighting, I have done some star gazing on a few occasions, and although I have spotted a few objects in the sky, I suspect these were simply airplanes as they were not traveling especially fast and they were low in the southern horizon, traveling east (I.e. based on direction, speed and trajectory, these were likely planes landing at the Saskatoon airport). Tonight however, after watching the sky for maybe 20 minutes or so, at approx 1:15AM I spotted a very faint star-like object directly overhead. It was moving very fast, heading south/south-west (from my location and perspective, it appeared to be heading just to the right of the almost-full moon). I tracked the object for about 20-30 seconds, until it was about 30-40 degrees above the southern horizon, and then lost sight of the object as the light radiating from the moon obscured my vision at this point. I watched the sky for approx. 10 more minutes as I hoped to spot the object again; however, the mosquitoes were bocoming unbearable by this time and so I gave up and came inside.
If you are aware of a likely explanation re: these sightings, I would appreciate hearing about them. Perhaps the objects are supersonic jets or concords? However, I did not hear any noise on either occasion -- do you know if jet aircraft would be audible if flying overhead if these aircraft were flying at a very high altitude (i.e. if inaudible, this would the lack of sound associated with the movement of these objects)?
PS: Thanks for your reply. After sharing my sighting experience with a few people, I received (for the most part) little or no feedback (not counting a few strange looks), I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your email and have learned that this is not the sort of thing that most people want to hear about. From this point on, I plan to share information about any future sightings that I have (including this one) with only a very select group of people.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Glenmore, Kelowna Object In The Shape Of A Diamond
Posted: January 28, 2008
Date: A few months ago. 2007 (Exact date not known) Time: Evening.
Location of Sighting: Glenmore, Kelowna, B.C. Number of witnesses: Myself. Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Kind of in the shape of diamond with a round rear end.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was in my courtyard having a cigarette late one evening and I noticed something in the sky. First I thought it was an airplane, but it was suspended in mid air, way up there. I thought it might be a helicopter, but there's no way a helicopter would be that far up. I know it wasn't a satellite because it moved first then stopped. My boyfriend thought I was seeing things. But I know I'm not crazy and my neighbor has also witnessed his own sightings.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Southern Ontario Canada Two White Lights (Dots) Traveling Together
Posted: January 28, 2008
Date: June 19, 2007 (Approx:) ? Time: Evening.
Also, I read further on UFOINFO, (just found the site yesterday) and noted several postings from you from June 19, 2007. All of them are from Southern Ontario, where I live, and speak of two white spheres which were travelling in tandem together across the sky.
Last week, (perhaps the 19th?), I was sitting out on my deck watching the clear night sky when I noticed 2 white dots, about the same size as a large star would, be travelling together at a constant speed.
At the time I put it down to satellites, which I have seen numerous times before where I live. But after reading these other sightings I clued into the fact that the satellites I see are higher in the sky and blink. These 2 dots were only about 20 degrees in the sky, not far above the horizon, and they didn't blink.
They were moving quite fast in a North South direction and were East of my location what seemed to be a far distance away.
Just before I lost sight of the dots behind the trees the one in the rear had a sudden burst of speed closing the gap between the two slightly. It then resumed its previous speed matching the other one.
Not a very spectacular sighting, but may have been my first. Thanks.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Westbank, British Columbia A White Oval Shaped Object
Posted: January 28, 2008
Date: June 17, 2007 Time: 9:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Westbank, B.C. Capitol Theater. Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Oval.
Full Description of event/sighting: My father and I were walking home from the theater and we noticed a white oval shaped object in the sky. It was completely white and looked nothing like a plane. It had no windows, wings or tail. It was moving too slow for it to be a plane. It eventually went into a large cloud and we never saw it again.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
