SIGHTING: AMOS, QUEBEC (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"Shortly before 4:00AM, as I couldn't sleep I got up and dressed. I then looked out from my bedroom window facing west and immediately noticed a bright white light over the NW horizon, too bright to be a planet or a star. (It was about 3 to 4 times brighter than Venus can be at it's brightest.) I kept looking and noticed it was moving slowly without blinking. I got out to have a better look. I realised it didn't look like the jet airplanes I sometimes see in the sky. No blinking lights, just one very bright light.I went back inside and got my camera (Lumix DMC-FZ28, with an 18x zoom) and managed to film 40 seconds of it. In all, it was visible for about three minutes before it disappeared below the SE horizon. When I first saw it NW, it was about 25 degres. At its highest, facing south, about 35 degrees.I guess it must always have been more than one mile away.The observation occured between 3:50 and 3:55 AM. At this latitude, date and time, it's still night but the NE horizon is already turning blue.It was a clear sky.It was not a conventional plane, helicopter, satellite or chinese lantern.It looked white to the naked eye but the recording reveals colors"
