Oshawa, Canada - 12-27-09
I had a very strange sighting here in Oshawa quite recently - a real strange one. I thought to share this sighting that happened at exactly 12:07 AM, December 27,2009.
I was driving my youngest son’s girlfriend home in Northeast Oshawa. I turned off Ritson north of Rossland - east into the neighborhood. As we drove through the street eastward, I could see a bright, intense, neon green sphere with outlines of bright white light moving over the roofs of homes some 20 ft above, or lower.
It moved like a bubble in water and was very slow and bright. The size looked small, but maybe bigger than a basketball. As I drove watching it, I was screaming out loud to the kids.
My son also witnessed it and he was NOT even wearing his glasses, as it was about hundred yards away. Witnessed for maybe about 4-5 seconds, as we drove by, we then lost sight of it.
It was that low over the homes. Needless to say, his girlfriend missed seeing this incredible display. My son’s reaction after dropping his girlfriend off was upsetting. He said I should not freak out about some burning light, as I was embarrassing to him.
I just thought it was quite a sight to witness, as it was that intense of a light and very close to the roof tops of the homes. Its movements were strange, like a rushing bubble before hitting the surface.
I thought to add a composite to better illustrate. Note: not to scale but an “enlargement“ of this thing witnessed.
Enjoy and HAPPY 2010 to you and ALL - should be a very interesting year.
