1999 UFO Sightings  (update)

Here is a list of the latest sightings from Norteastern Ontario
that were reported to me.


Date: Wednesday, March 24, 1999

Location: Blind River, Ontario

A woman from Algoma Mills (7 miles from Blind River) had a close
encounter while driving towards Blind River, where she was going
to pick up her daughter at the local Tim Horton's.  The time was
approximately 11:20 p.m.  When she got within =BD mile from Blind
River, she saw an object lifting off from behind some trees at
an RV trailer lot, near the shores of Lake Huron.  She described
it as cigar-shaped and red and white in colour.  When she saw it
lift up above the treeline, she pulled right over so that she
could get out and watch.  But when the object started coming
over the highway, she decided to stay in the car.  The object
was "as long as one treeline to the other" (wider than the
highway).  She sat there and watched as it came right over her
car which, at that point, began to vibrate.  That's when she hit
the gas, she said, because "she just wanted to get out of
there."  At that moment, that's when it (the object) took off in
a split second.  It went right over the hospital and flew away
in a northerly direction.  A woman who had reported other
encounters before, went to check the site and found no physical
trace of any kind.

Two nights prior, on Monday, March 22, in the early hours of the
morning, she said she woke up and heard a loud hum in her house. 
She went running to her daughter's room, woke her up, and both
were in a panic state.  She said she kind of knew what it was,
but didn't want to go outside and look.  Then the hum went away.


Date: Thursday, April 15, 1999

Location: Ironbridge, Ontario

Two women going for a walk at about 10:00 p.m. (Ironbridge 12
miles west of Blind River) reported they saw a bright, bright
light in the bush and they didn't want to stay any longer.  They
got scared because it was "too...too bright for a normal light." 
They just took off out of there.


Date: Saturday, April 17, 1999

Location: Garson, Ontario

A former Falconbridge worker and his wife (from Dowling,
Ontario) were driving back from Garson when they spotted an
object in the sky, moving in a north-northeasterly direction. 
The time was approximately 9 p.m. and the sky was a bit cloudy. 
At first, the woman thought it was the moon.  But at the time,
the moon was in the southern sky and had a thin crescent shape. 
The object was described as a last-quarter moon with the tips
squared off, and yellow in colour.  It was seen for about 12 -
30 seconds before it moved away from them.


Date:  Tuesday, April 13, 1999

Location:  Val Caron, Ontario

 On the evening of April 13th, a Sudbury resident who works for
a maintenance company and a fellow worker saw a strange sight
while on their way to Hanmer.  The time was approximately 9:45
p.m. when they approached the top of the hill in Val Caron from
which there is an excellent view of the valley.  At that moment,
they saw a blue, ball-shaped light with a flaming tail on it
moving across the sky.  At first, they thought it was a meteor,
but the fire tail suddenly went out and the object flashed
brightly three times before disappearing.  The witness said that
the "object was going too fast to be a plane, and yet too slow
to be a meteor or shooting star."  He also said that it left a
trail of smoke behind, which meant that it was in the
atmosphere.  He said: "It was very close to the ground, maybe a
couple of hundred feet up.  Three cars in front of us seen it
also and slammed on the breaks."  They reported their sighting
to the airport and a local radio station, but the people there
hadn't seen or heard anything about it.


Date:  Tuesday, April 13, 1999

Location: Sudbury, Ontario

At around 5:50 a.m., a Sudbury resident was driving her husband
to work when she saw a fluorescent green object in the western
sky which moved with great speed (about 1 - 2 seconds).  At
first, she thought it could have been a comet; it was
round-shaped at the head with a short vapour trail.  It was half
the size of the moon and was travelling west to north, in the
area of the sky above Memorial Hospital.  She said "it happened
so quickly, but was so impressive."


Date:  Thursday, May 20, 1999

Location:  Dowling, Ontario

A Dowling resident reported to me that at around 6:10 p.m., his
wife was looking through the kitchen window to the north and saw
a disk-shaped object, silver in colour, with the sun reflecting
off its surface.  It looked to be a little over halfway up in
the sky, moving from west to east.  It then went behind a cloud
and disappeared.  She kept looking, hoping to see it again but
never did.  Then, at around 6:30 p.m., her husband noticed
something in the same part of the sky but further away.  He
described it as a round object, very dull in colour, again
moving from west to east.  The size looked to be about that of
an old 5-cent piece (smaller than a dime) at arm's length.  It
also disappeared behind the clouds.  He waited and watched for
it, but never saw it again.  The weather was clear, the sun was
still out and the clouds were thin.  He could clearly see it
with the naked eye.  "It was no plane, no helicopter, no bird
and no weather balloon," he said.  But he's not sure what it
was.
