Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness
Incident date:

Location: 
Садбери, ON
Canada

The following observations began around 21:30 and ended around 2:30 am. The witness was outside watching the sky when he noticed four streaks of light; three of them walked in a tight formation (side by side), and the fourth was displaced. All four of them were heading west at high speed, towards the superstack. 

When they entered the smoke plume of the pile, the observer took out his 35mm camera and used its flash as a beacon, pointing it in the direction of the objects. The fourth object changed direction for a few seconds, but then joined the others. 

The witness ran through the house to the front door (which faces west) to take another look at the items. When he lifted the binoculars, they were gone. The color is white with a yellowish tinge in the center. The witness came back and called me. I tried to confirm his observation, but I couldn't see anything from where I was. After he finished talking on the phone, he went back outside and waited. The time was 22:00.

Soon something else came into view. Looking around through binoculars, he noticed four lights flying from west to east-northeast. 

He watched them with binoculars until they were out of sight. He picked up the cordless phone and called me again, telling me what he had just witnessed. He was holding on to the phone when he was looking through binoculars (in the general direction of east-northeast) and noticed two red glowing balls maneuvering in the sky. They looked like they were going to bump into each other, but at the last second before touching each other, they moved away from each other. 

The direction of movement of these two objects was from northeast to southwest with their zigzag maneuver. They were round red objects with an orange tint in the center. After a few more seconds, they simply disappeared from view.

Original news

Date: Sunday, April 28, 1996.
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.

The following sightings began at around 9:30 p.m. and ended around 2:30 a.m. The witness was outside, observing the sky when he noticed four streaks of light; three of them were travelling in a tight formation (side by side by side) and the fourth one was offset. All four were heading towards the west at high speed, in the direction of the super stack. As they travelled into the smoke plume of the stack, the observer took out his 35 mm camera and used its flash as a beacon, aiming it in the direction of the objects. The fourth object changed direction for a few seconds, but then rejoined the others. The witness ran through the house to the front door (which faces west) to get another look at the objects. When he pulled up his binoculars, they were gone. The colour was white with a yellowish tint in the center. The witness went back in and called me. I tried to confirm his sighting but from where I was located, I couldn't see anything. After he got off the phone, he went back outside and waited. The time was now 10:00 p.m.

It wasn't long before something else came into view. As he looked around with his binoculars, he spotted four lights flying overhead from the west towards the east-northeast. He followed them with the binoculars until they disappeared from view. He picked up the cordless phone and called me again, telling me what he had just witnessed. He held on to the phone as he looked through the binoculars (in the general direction of east-northeast), and he noticed two red balls of lights maneuvering in the sky. They looked like they were going to collide with each other, but at the last second just before they touched, they would move away from each other. The direction of travel of these two objects was from the northeast to the southwest, while doing their zig-zag maneuver. They were round, red objects with an orange tint in the center. After a few more seconds, they just disappeared from view.
