No of observers: 2

Location: Pictou Landing (Canada), NS, Canada

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Orange/red ball of light, arrived into field of view from southeast faster than a military jet, slowed, zig-zagged, turned to the north

Out having a smoke approx. 9:30 PM. Looking northeast at the stars. Noticed a very fast moving orange/reddish object come from the southeast - moving in a north-westerly direction.

The object slowed to a speed comparable to a commercial jetliner passing overhead, then zig-zagged up an down very slowly for about 10 seconds/5 times.

The object then accelerated extremely quickly and turned to a northerly course until out of sight - about 4 seconds from acceleration until disappearance.

I have witnessed this type of sighting many times in the past few years - one was particularly unnerving as I was close enough that I could have touched the object if I had tried to. Always seen with witnesses. Reporting now because I'm seeing objects with increasing frequency.
