| On Saturday, March 12, 2005, at 10:30 p.m., Jeff Forrester reported, "My wife and I had just left a restaurant close to our home" in Ottawa (population 323,340), Canada's capital city. "It is only a 10-minute walk from our house to the restaurant. Halfway home, I saw something fly overhead, coming from behind us and flying towards the west. There were no lights at all on the object." "I immediately pointed directly to the object, which I could barely see myself, and said to my wife, 'Look! What the heck is that!?'" "She unfortunately was not able to see it." "Our neighbourhood is very dark at night, and only the bottom of the object was barely visible to me, illuminated by whatever (street) lights were in the area." "The unusual thing, and what made me do this report, was...absolute silence. No sound whatsoever from the object. Also, not a cloud in the sky that night, plenty of stars. I got thinking maybe it was a spotlight or something. But the more I thought about it, the more sure I was that something was different. Spotlights (like the ones they use for grand openings, etc.--J.F.) would usually only illuminate clouds." "Later I took another look outside and saw nothing. I was completely sober and have good eyesight. On road trips, I am always the first to see deer or other wildlife in the field." "The (object's) colour was light grey. The shape was like that of a jet with similar wing shapes, however less defined and with smoother lines. This was because there was no long nose or tail portions. More like a flying wing. Reminded me of something like a hang glider or a blown-up kite. I would estimate that it was about 20 feet (6 meters) long, taking into account the height (altitude), and was fast. |
