Bright Light Observed From Airdire Alberta

Date: Late December 2010

Time: Approx: 10:30 p.m.

Hello, my name is (name removed), I'm originally from St. Margrets Bay, Nova Scotia, but I moved out to Calgary in late October. My friend and I witnessed something with our own eyes and we couldn't even come up with a logical explanation. We were parked at a location just outside of Calgary in the city of Airdire, and my friend glanced out the window quickly when something caught his eye.

I immediately looked to see what he was checking out. There were 4 of us in the car, my friend and I in the back seat, the other two did not get a chance to see it. We were both so shocked we didn’t say anything until it was over. We saw a big bright light similar to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n6OoIqhcq8. It was night time about 10:30 and the light was just over the cities horizon. The UFO was much lower though then the one in the video, and we had a little closer view of Calgary.

What makes me so sure this is a UFO is that I've witnessed shooting stars and satellites coming back into orbit, and neither of those resemble anything like this event. When my friend and I glanced over, the light moved about 3 seconds after and when he moved it didn't move up into the sky, it moved over the city of Calgary with a trailing beam of light behind it that lasted for about 2 seconds replacing where the aircraft once was.

From a distance it appeared as if the object was moving slowly, but you could tell if you were at a closer distance it covered a lot of ground very fast. It disappeared once it flew over the city buildings, it almost resembled a spot light the way it took off into the sky, but my friends and I waited for an hour to watch for any other signs of an explanation and were left with nothing.

The only reason I believe this is a UFO is because of the feeling I got after seeing this, my eyes have never seen something like that in my life and could not come up with any sort of logical explanation on their own. This happened in late December prior to Christmas time, I decided to search Calgary UFO sightings up and discovered that my friend and I aren't alone, and some of these sightings have occurred just in the recent earlier months.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
