Occurred: 2004-04-01 23:55 Local
Reported: 2004-04-02 08:01 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Haysboro (Canada), AB, Canada

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Calgary, I saw something towards the west at 11:55 p.m. Thursday. I watched it thinking its only a star, then it moved one way then back again. It looked kind of like a yellow white light with pulsing red light. Two planes flew past, this was weird because the light didn't move at first, then after the second plane flew by, it moved away slowly. I live in Haysboro Southwest part of Calgary, looking west is where I saw this. It's a very cool evening. I hope someone else saw this too.

Additional Information Below: The witness observed the light for approximately 5 minutes before losing sight of it. I also was playing a cat and mouse game, hide behind a tree branch, and see if it moves, and yes it did. Now as for the lights probing, moving back and forth, its kind of hard to see between the branches and my binoculars aren't that great for distance. I would estimate the object's altitude was as high as the two planes as they were flying into the city. I did not hear any sound coming from the object but did hear the sound of the planes that flew over. It was about the size of a pea/dime.

There were no other witnesses to the sighting, only myself. I went out side to see why there was so many lights in our alley. Some kids decided to spray paint their initials on the side of our garage last night and I thought they were back. So I went on to the porch to have a look. I saw the moon and I decided to take a picture of it. Then I looked at all the stars in the sky when I noticed that one was was sitting there as the first plane flew by, then it moved. I grabbed my binoculars to have a closer look and then it moved again. I played this game you close one eye, see what happens, it moved further west and then north. The red light kept pulsing and I noticed it turning and then it stopped. I wanted to go chase it, but thought it would disappear.

After the second plane flew by, it left heading west by north. The first plane looked like a normal commercial airline, the second plane I paid no attention to it.

Sorry that's about all I can tell you, I hope someone else saw it too.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
