Appearance / Description of Object(s)

What caught my eye was that it consisted of just white light, no flashing lights, no colour. I could definitely see a round orb in the middle with a straight line of light cutting horizontally through the middle of the orb. The orb's diameter would be about 1/3 of the length of the line cutting through it. The only reason I've decided to report this on your website is that I'm hoping someone else in the Stoughton, Saskatchewan area also saw this object at 9:30 pm last night (August 27th, 2010). last night and reports it.

Size of Object(s)

2 1/2 to 3 inches across. I wouldn't even try to estimate it's real size, as I have no idea how far away it was in the sky. All I could say it that it was much closer when I first saw it and as it accelerated it quickly reduced it's size to a pinpoint in the sky, then it was gone.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area, flat, with a small ridge to the north of the highway. There are gas plants / compressor stations and drilling rigs in the area.

Full Description & Details

Here's a bit more info.

The acceleration of the object was similar to what you would see on movie star trek when the vessel on the show goes to warp speed. A gradual / but quick acceleration until it just disappears.

Also, I found it weird that when I blurted to myself under my breathe, "what the hell is that, it can't be an airplane because I can't see any flashing lights", it was almost like something in the object heard me

and this is when it took off.

Approximately five minutes later, immediately after I murmured to myself, "it had to be a UFO because I didn't see any red light flash" a quick light flashed red off to my left, almost like someone had hit the brakes. I stopped to see if it would do it again, but it didn't. I then pondered whether it was a reflection of my instrument panel in the car, but everything was reflecting off the front 1/3 of the driver's window. I also

noticed several drilling rigs in the area with flashing red lights at the top of their derrecks, but I quickly ruled

them out as the red light I saw flash, was at a much steeper incline then the lights on the top of the drilling rigs. I also wondered if it could have been the reflection of another vehicles taillights, but their were no other

vehicles in the area at the time this happened.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

It seemed to be similar to how a harrier jet would hover and move slowly across the sky, then shoot off in mid air.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have seen some shows on t.v. but the one thing I still remember seeing when I was a teenager were two lights that moved acrossed the sky over Lake Erie. My mother and I were sitting outside next to the bonfire talking when I spotted two lights, parallel to each other. I quickly pointed them out to my mother. We both observed these lights as they moved completely across the night sky in the blink of an eye, at all times remaining parallel to each other, coming to an immediate / abrupt stop. Then, they moved together again at about a 60 degree angle to another point in the sky. Also in the blink of an eye and always remaining parallel to each other and coming to another immediate / abrupt stop. The third time the moved, one light went in one direction and the second went in another and they were gone. This all happened within about 15 seconds. as the first 10 seconds of movement, only I had noticed these two lights as they seemed to be almost playing / dancing around the sky with each other. That's what caught my eye and prompted me to point them out to my mother.
