SIGHTING: COBOURG, ONTARIO (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"Observed an orange light in the sky that was quite bright. i was coming out of one room in my house and observed it through the window of the room opposite. i thought that at first it might be a plane but then realized the light itself was too large to be a plane and not in a location that i have ever seen a planes landing lights before. from my position i estimated that the lights would have been over the city of port hope, or just slightly offshore over lake ontario. as to the height, i can only guestimate 500 to 1000 feet. port hope is 116 km from pearson airport in toronto. if these were landing lights, they would have been shining to the west instead of to the east (i was east of the lights). were they from a plan taking off, the landing gear would have been retracted long before reaching that distance. as stated, the light was larger than an aircraft landing light. i observed it for about two minutes and it did not move. i put my face against the window and used a tree in my yard as a reference to determine that there was no movement. there appeared to be two orbs, one of the partially blocked by the other. that is, one appeared to be behind and slightly offset to the north. the lights did not pulse, blink, or appear to change until the light simply disappeared.
