SIGHTING: LUNENBURG, NOVA SCOTIA (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"We were vacationing in Kingsburg, NS, Canada at a a very remote cottage ( 44���17'6.32"N, 64���14'33.67"W) overlooking the Atlantic. We had many friends over watching the night sky looking S. The ocean horizon was barely visible (we estimate 25miles out) when a very bright orange sphere apeared above the horizon. We debated as to whether it was a distant traulers main floods,or something else. I do have a Canon Rebel Digital SLR EOS with 300mm lens attached. Shooting multiple long exposures (4-5sec) at ISO 1600 onto RAW format I captured the object multiple times stationary aver ~ 20 mins. Object can be seen in front of distant clouds on the horizon. No boat/traulers show on the exposures, however above clouds do seem to reflect glow somewhat. Focus was set manually . First shots were jittery due to handheld shots, however later shots were propped on a solid surface.Object eventually dimmed to nothing, and later came back again. Then again dimmed.I did not get the impression that this was one of the large vessels from Lunenburg at all. NExt night we saw a large fishing boat with normal runnning lights on - clearly showing a boat outline. In fact the lights from other vessels (rare at that time of night) are incredibly dim from our vantage. Fog not at factor either.This large light was intense and powerful orange."
