Initial data
At about 3:20, a resident of Whitefish (WR), who was releasing his dog, accidentally looked to the west, at a cluster of stars, and suddenly one of them became very bright and large and moved about a couple of meters. a hundred feet to the south, and it was dark again.
He went into the house to find his binoculars, and when he came back, he couldn't find it again... he was lost in the stars. He said he thought it was strange that something like that was moving. He stayed at home for two hours because there were a lot of shooting stars that night.
When asked if this was his first observation, he replied in the negative. Ten years ago, he was letting his dog out one night, and when he looked east towards Sudbury, he saw what he thought was a shooting star that was descending very fast. But just as quickly as he went down, he went up again!
Original news
Date: Friday, August 13, 1999 (reported on August 23, 1999).
Location: Whitefish, Ontario.
At about 3:20 a.m., a Whitefish resident (WR) who was letting his dog out, happened to look west at a cluster of stars and all of a sudden, one of them turned very bright and large and moved 'about a couple of hundred feet' to the south, and got dim again. He went into the house to look for his binoculars and when he got back out, he couldn't find it again...it was lost in the stars. He said that it struck him odd that something like that would move. He stayed out for two hours because there were a lot of shooting stars, that night.
When asked if this was his first sighting, he said no. Ten years before, he was letting his dog out one night and as he looked east toward Sudbury, he saw what he thought was a falling star as it came down real fast. But just as fast as it came down, it went back up again!
