Initial data
At about 23:45, a resident of Sudbury noticed a reddish-orange light moving from south to north. He thought it was probably a plane heading to Sudbury Airport, although it seemed to be pulsing rather than blinking. He was about to turn away when the light suddenly became brighter, and another light rose directly from him, sat above him for a minute, and then took off at high speed to the northwest. He went out to get a better look through the binoculars, but the lights went out.
He stayed outside for a few more minutes and was about to return inside when he saw two reddish-orange lights approaching New Sudbury from the southwest. The lights moved side by side, one slightly ahead of the other and passed under the clouds.
"They were much brighter than any other stars or planets and were moving at a constant speed," he said. "I was watching them with binoculars, but I couldn't make out any distinct shape around them. Then they seemed to get brighter, and about every 5-10 seconds a light rose from the front, and then turned around and returned towards the center of Sudbury. There were lights in the back, too, but at a much higher speed than in the front, and these lights were much smaller and only red in color."
He said smaller lights were also circling around and heading towards the city center at high speed. Then the two main fires began to curve slowly to the northwest and seemed to have just gone out. The shooting lasted from 8 to 10 minutes. He never saw them again, although he stayed for another 30 minutes or so.
Original news
Date: Tuesday, June 22, 1999 (reported on July 11, 1999).
Location: Sudbury, Ontario.
At approximately 11:45 p.m., a Sudbury resident noticed a reddish orange light travelling from south to north. He thought that it was probably a plane heading for the Sudbury airport even though it seemed to be pulsating instead of blinking. He was about to turn away when the light suddenly got brighter and another light lifted straight up from it, sat above it for a minute and then took off at high speed to the northwest. He went out for a better look with his binoculars, but the lights were gone.
He stayed outside for a few more minutes and was about to go back inside when he saw two reddish orange lights coming towards New Sudbury from the southwest. The lights were travelling side by side, with one slightly ahead of the other and passing under the clouds. 'They were much brighter than any other stars or planets and moving at a steady pace,' he said. 'I watched them with the binoculars but couldn't make out any kind of distinct shape about them. They then seemed to get brighter and a light would rise up from the front one about every 5 to 10 seconds and then bank around and head back towards downtown Sudbury. The back one also had lights rising from it, but at a much faster rate than the front one and these lights were much smaller and only red in colour.'
He said that the smaller lights were also banking around and heading towards downtown at a high rate of speed. The two main lights then started to curve slowly towards the northwest and seemed to just fade out. The sighting lasted for about 8 to 10 minutes. He never saw them again, even though he stayed out for another 30 minutes or so.
