Reported: 1999-02-03 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 30 min.
No of observers: 2

Location: Flamborough (Canada), ON, Canada

Shape: Formation

Viewed a v-formation of approx. 15 bright white lights in sky on Sept. 2 1998 at 2 a.m.

I'm a 45 year old mother of a 15 year old boy, who stayed up late watching T.V. He first observed this phenomenom through our glass atrium doors. We live in the countryside. My son woke me up approx. 2 a.m. to view a formation of approx. 15 very bright white balls of light in a v-formation directly in front of us, flying east to west, above the treetops. This lasted for approx. 30 min. until they flew from view behind the trees to the west. There were no tailights as you see on airplanes which we view all the time as we are on two flightpaths, one for Toronto Pearson International airport and one for Mount Hope airport in Hamilton. This was like nothing I've ever seen before. This occured the night of the spectacular northern lights pulsating in the sky visable in our area.
