Originally posted by antar As for the stadium lighting, wow that hit home with me! I have had a daytime sighting as well and I have tried but
failed to explain it as well as you did.Ok a couple of questions if you please. Were the craft you saw 15 years ago and last week the same? And what
happened to the one that you saw as the stadium light?
well, the craft(s) i saw in 1988(which is actually 19 years ago, i see), i saw with five other people. it was late at night in muskoka, which is
north of toronto about 2 1/2 hours. we went to the beach at three in the morning. we were looking up at the stars, and we saw what we thought was a
jet, WAAAAY up there. and then, it began zig zagging erratically, and the sideways motions were impossibly fast, and too sharp to be a plane, and too
extreme to be, say, atmospheric heat effects.
as we watched one, we noticed more. there were about five, if i remember correctly.
the stadium lighting thing was weird. at ground level, right beside an apartment building, and viewed from about two miles away. me and another
person crested a hill that descends into barrie, ontario, and we both saw this intense light that was about five or seven storeys high(it was right
beside an apartment, so that is the gauge). to me, it had a pinkish hue. my buddy says it was white.
i saw it for a few seconds, and then the view was obscured by an outcropping of trees as we drove down the hill. when we could see again, the light
was gone.
no idea what it was. not even a wild guess. just something two of us saw.
Originally posted by antar Did it disappear behind clouds? Was the one with the red lights possibly triangular shaped?
the *whatever* i just saw, could have been a triangle, but it doesn't match the "dark triangle with a light on each corner" description. i saw a
white light, like i said, bigger than a cessna, smaller than a passenger jet, and what i didn't add, is that it was kinda shaped like a popsicle(the
light, not the craft, which i couldn't really make out). that is, if you held a popsicle on a stick sideways, and lighted it from the inside,
that's what i saw. the stick towards the rear, and the frozen kool-aid pointing forwards.
it disappeared behind a cloud, and a few (seconds?) later emerged on a path perpendicular to it's original direction.
Originally posted by antar Also were the lights not symmetrically positioned on the base or under side, I mean on our air planes they
are perfectly aligned on each tip for example, were the lights some what askew on the bottom of the one you saw?I hope you can understand my
question...
well, the postitions of the two red lights i saw, which were kind of hard to see because of the white light, were downward facing circular disks, one
at the forward tip, and one in the back "driver's side" rear corner. (north american, that is: the left side if your facing the same way as a pilot
in a conventional craft)
