Full Description & Details

I was out nightsky watching like I usually am on clear nights when suddenly I realized there was an object that had appeared and was already quite low. I would say that it was about 2000 to 3000 feet from the ground and moving very slowly at approximately 30 km/h. The object was quite big, it reminded me of a barge on the bottom but barges are usually rectangular and this was circular on the bottom. Above that, on the middle part of it, there was a part protruded out from the rest of the object. Above this protruded part were its lights which were huge and red and orange/yellow and each looked like it had its own rotating luminence. These lights were square with rounded corner shaped but were not shining on anything in particular. I could see at least five lights but I knew there were more going all the way around that part of the object.

The lights were illuminating the top part just enough for me to be able to tell that this part was at least the same length as the center and bottom parts together. The colour from what I could see of the object was grey. It did not make any noise. From where I first saw it, it moved slowly descending lower in altitude. I was dumbstruck and then finally remembered to go in my house to phone my nightsky watching friend to tell her to check this out. She did go outside after I called her and told me she saw the same thing. The object was flying Northeast along the Koksoak River. After I phoned my friend I came back out to my back porch but by that time, my house was already blocking my view of it. The only other movement of objects that I saw that night were much much higher than this big one that I saw.

Other Comments

I live in a small town and have already heard that there was a young boy who saw big lights around the same time that night. I also know several other skywatchers who have seen unknown objects in the sky at night and in the daytime. I also have heard of sightings in this area for years and being an avid stargazer (more like I only look for moving objects) for the past few years, this was really my most exciting night so far.

For a sketch, what I would provide you would be very similar to one of your photos on your webpage. It is the fourth photo from the left. What I saw was like what is showing in this picture. My friend saw the same thing.
