SIGHTING: EDMONTON, ALBERTA (CANADA)

Witness Testimony

"I was looking out of the window of my house, which faces west. i usually went at night taking a break from studying to look at the sky from this window. i saw two star-like objects that both had the brightness of planets at 45 degrees upwards from the horizon, just a little south from directly west. if you were to hold a tape measure at an arms length away from you towards the sky, then these objects were approximately 2.5 inches apart. i regularly look out this window, and had been doing so the days prior to this incident; i knew that these were out of place. when i first saw these two bright lights, i was confused since they appeared to be planets (though i knew this didn't make sense). after initially seeing the two lights, i looked at them for approximately 4 seconds until they both slowly dimmed together, at the same rate, until they could no longer be seen. both objects were stationary in the sky and did not move the entire time. i stayed watching the sky after they disappeared for a few minutes but saw nothing else (no planes, other unusual things, etc.). i called my brother to come look in case they reappeared, and we both watched for about 30 minutes, but did not see anything. i've seen and i am familiar with satellites, the iss, shooting stars, and pretty much anything else there is to see in the sky, but this was unique. i was spooked by this incident so much so that i stopped looking out that window at night."
