SIGHTING: HAMILTON, ONTARIO (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"I was driving home from work, eastwards, on the highway. i noticed a bright object that seemed to be hovering overhead (over a field) in the distance. at first, i thought it must be the moon peeking out -- it was bright -- but then realized that there were no clouds. the object grew brighter. there appeared to be a bank of lights on the outside. note that i could not look continuously as i was driving at 80 kph. as i drew nearer to the object, i realized that it did not appear to be a helicopter and that it was not moving. it seemed to be rather large -- certainly larger than any aircraft i've ever seen. it appeared to be round or cylindrical in shape. suddenly, after about four or five minutes of observation, it blinked out of sight completely. it was as if someone had pulled the light switch. just then, a commercial aircraft passed directly underneath where it had been hovering (note that there is an airport nearby). i do not have a photograph, but i have found one that looks like what i saw."
