SIGHTING: HALTON HILLS, ONTARIO (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"My family and I were visiting my brother and his family for the weekend (August 20-21, 2016). My brother lives in Georgetown, Ontario, Canada. Georgetown is about 20 minutes northwest of Brampton, Ontario. Being in the Greater Toronto Area (and therefore close to Pearson International Airport), residents of Georgetown see many large airplanes flying over day and night. On Sunday morning (between 9AM-10:30AM, August 21, 2016) we were outside on the patio enjoying morning coffee. The sky looked spectacular with real neat cloud formations - cirrus clouds too. I thought some sky pics would look great for my facebook page and so over the course of 51 minutes I took a series of photos with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (camera was set to 12mp mode). I did not use any zoom, merely aimed and shot pics. At the time neither I, my wife, my brother nor his wife saw anything unusual in the sky other than clouds, airplanes and bright blue sky. It was not until an hour later when viewing the pics that I notices a bright blue spherical shaped object in one of the pics. I thought perhaps it was debris on the lens or something but quickly ruled that out as some pics had the blue sphere while others did not. In total, the sphere appears on 5 of my approximately 12 shots. When I zoomed in on the object I was surprised to see a solid object with weird protrusions on the surface. When I examined the 5 photos more closely, I noticed the objects trajectory was perhaps from an 60 deg incline down to perhaps 30 degree incline. But on the final shot, the object reversed course and ascended to perhaps a 40 degree incline in the span of 1 minute - I say this because the pics are time stamped. So the first pic (highest elevation) perhaps 60 deg incline, second last pic 30 degree incline and last pic about 40 degree - all relative to my position of course. The sequence of shots total 51 minutes, beginning at 9:18 Am and ending at 10:09 AM. Again, I am not an eye witness to this event - we did not see anything other than clouds and large airplanes. Note: These pics were not edited in any way. I have included one pic of a large aircraft for a sense of scale as well. Zoom in to see closer look of object and airplane.John Sheppard"
