Daylight sighting of Saucer shaped craft with design underneath. Inside glowing electric blue.

I witnessed a UFO hovering directly overhead. I first noticed it around 3:01 pm on September 15, 2018, as I was flying my last drone footage flight. The sighting lasting over an hour. I was in the area shooting an independent short film on one of the local residents.

As my drone was set to make an automatic landing, based on a GPS coordinate, I confirmed with its OS before takeoff. it hovered to its initially set height coordinates input beforehand (approx. 20 meters). As I looked up to see it hovering prior to landing, I noticed what I initially thought was a bag floating high above the drone. As I looked closer I realized it was perfectly round. Then I thought maybe it was a balloon. Then a weather balloon. But it was locked in place. Not moving. White. I wanted to take my drone up higher to see if I could match its altitude and get a better look but all 4 of the batteries were dead or dying and would not have the power necessary to take it to extreme altitudes and return safely to home without crashing or failing. It had the capability of going as high as 500 Meters with a full charge, but was just not possible at this point.

The actual height of this UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) I could not say, as I'm not a commercial pilot and could not gauge how high it was. I did see a plane fly by maybe 20-30 minutes later and could tell that the commercial plane was at a much higher altitude than whatever this was purely by the atmospheric distortion that softened all of the edges and the image of the plane according to my eyes. The UFO was sharp in contrast and definition. That gave me a little information in that it must've been closer to me than the plane.

My initial reaction was to run and grab my HD DSLR camera (Canon T5i) from all the gear I had in my jeep for the shoot and start filming. I was filming in 1080P earlier so all I had to do was point and click. I landed my drone safely, threw it in my car and grabbed the camera. I managed to get about 6 Photographs and as many if not more videos of the event, some of which I'll share here. I had a telephoto lens I had purchased for another shoot (55-250mm) so I threw that on to get maximum magnification and started shooting.

This thing literally hung right above me for about 30 minutes. Silent, round, white. I could see with the naked eye that there was a little blue spot in the middle so I thought maybe it was a donut in the sky. Sounds weird I know. As I zoomed in with the telephoto lens, I could clearly see definition in the bottom of this thing. White lines, a design or something inside an inner round core of a light electric blue. This design stayed consistent over all the photographs and films, as you will see. As this traveled West I noticed that the shape was now slightly ellipsed which gave me the impression that this thing flat like a dish or classic saucer.

I was getting a little weirded out, so I called you, then Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center in the United States, as under his guidance, called you, and witnesses to come to see this thing and verify my sighting. Locals ((name of female #1 deleted)), and ((name of female #2 deleted)) arrived with author ((male's name deleted)), and all three confirmed my sighting, as it traveled over the beach at Daniel's Head Road, before heading out to sea. In all, we had 4 witnesses. ((2nd female)) met me at the Fire Hall at the head of Daniel's Head Rd. I located the object for him which he then witnessed heading south to the beach. I then left and headed to the beach. Laurie then met me there a few minutes later, and we picked it up again.

A few minutes after that (it must've been after 4 pm at this point) ((male)) and ((2nd female)) showed up. By this point all of my cameras were dead, save one, but I had already gotten great shots and this thing was heading out to sea becoming difficult to track. If you didn't try hard and focus in the direction it was you wouldn't see it. This occurred at my original location once it had crossed the road and was making its way to the beach. As soon as you picked it up it became so obvious that you wondered why you couldn't see it without searching for it. Very strange. I retrieved ((male's)) field glasses from his car, and he was able to see the craft, or whatever it was, w! ith 6x magnification, if I'm correct. All four of us saw this thing on the beach. I tried to show another guy on the beach but he couldn't see it. He said he saw two drones flying around earlier, but I was flying one close to the beach earlier but I didn't see another drone or drone pilot. I sort of think that maybe he saw this thing earlier but he also saw my drone, because I did fly past him. Hard to know.

The impression it left upon me was, 'What was this thing?', 'How come I can't hear it?', 'How is it just hovering there barely moving' (even though you can see when the camera is mounted on the tripod that it is, in fact, moving all so very slowly). I also felt like, 'I'm freaking out because I'm alone out here and this thing is just hovering above me'. I also felt anxious, excited, nervous I wasn't going to get it recorded, and completely full of awe. I was also completely confused at why nobody who passed by in cars (and there were several) didn't stop to asking me what I was filming in the sky. There was actually a cyclist that bikes right past me as I'm trying to get his attention to look at the UFO! You'll see all this in the clip I've provided via Google Drive link. Please excuse all the expletives as I was rather flustered and flummoxed.

Tonight as I'm looking at the photos and footage, I'm elated that what I saw was not my imagination, as the design on the bottom showed up in my videos and photos. My reactions are sincere. I want everyone to know that the strange things that have been reported in this area are still happening!!

The man I was filming that morning saw a sea monster there off the coast in 1976 with about 5 other people and other reports go back in time. UFO's have been consistently captured there over the years, and stories still persist of strange incidences of weird visits by otherworldly beings. Let's not forget that in 1967, just down the road in Shag Harbour, the world's only gov't documented UFO crash occurred. The witness to my event, ((female #1)) is the very same ((female #1)) that witnessed that crash back in 67'. It gets weirder. Heather, the other witness has been photographing these things for years and as it turns out, is the cousin of the man I had spent filming all day. Lastly, ((male)), the 3rd witness to my event, just so happens to be the guy who has written 2 books on that crash of 1967. He also just happens to be the subject of another film I'm making on his life. While traveling out of Ontario filming this film, we both had another experience together involving a UFO. It gets better. The night before I saw yet another UFO over Citadel hill. A month or so back, my wife saw two UFO's over North St, and my dad watched a small white orb trailing a commercial plane flying over the Joe Howe Superstore. There is this saying, 'Once you stare into the Abyss, the Abyss starts to stare back'. I feel like there's more truth to this, especially after yesterday's events.

Attached are a couple files. Zoom in on the photos and video. It's very compelling evidence of something still happening on Cape Sable Island.

This was not a trick of photography as we all 4 saw this with our naked eye.

Thanks for reading this far,
