Occurred : 5/6/2004 23:20 (Entered as : 05/06/2004 23:20) Reported: 5/6/2004 9:34:19 PM 21:34 Posted: 5/10/2004 Location: Gravenhurst (Canada), ON Shape: Triangle Duration: 10 seconds Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There was an aura or haze around the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Low flying aircraft - no flashing lights - no sound - travelling at speed I was sitting outside in my backyard, stargazing. The conditions were clear with gusty winds. Visibility was good. I was looking to the northwest. A movement and light, coming from the west, caught my attention: I looked up, a few degrees north of the zenith and saw what I initially thought to be a meteorite travelling eastward. I realized it wasn't a meteorite - it was arrow-shaped with a blunt nose and resembled a military aircraft but it was completely silent. There were no flashing lights but cast a dull reddish-bronze light which illuminated the entire underside. I could see the general shape only because of this glow. It was travelling at high speed. It did not turn, nor change direction but continued to fly in a straight trajectory overhead, towards the north. It appeared to be flying at a low altitude.

Low flying aircraft - no flashing lights - no sound - travelling at speed

I was sitting outside in my backyard, stargazing. The conditions were clear with gusty winds. Visibility was good. I was looking to the northwest. A movement and light, coming from the west, caught my attention: I looked up, a few degrees north of the zenith and saw what I initially thought to be a meteorite travelling eastward. I realized it wasn't a meteorite - it was arrow-shaped with a blunt nose and resembled a military aircraft but it was completely silent. There were no flashing lights but cast a dull reddish-bronze light which illuminated the entire underside. I could see the general shape only because of this glow.

It was travelling at high speed. It did not turn, nor change direction but continued to fly in a straight trajectory overhead, towards the north.

It appeared to be flying at a low altitude.
