Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

01.01.2013 00:05

Location:

Садбери, ON

Canada

In response to a letter to the editor that appeared in "The Northern Life" on February 12, 2013, the author of the original material received this first email of three:

"Hi, I just read your letter in The Northern Life.

On New Year's Morning, say at 00:05, we also saw five balloons flying across the northern sky of Sudbury. We live in Munglo. Then, when they left, the same light followed the same trajectory. They drove from the northwest to the southeast. I was alerted by the fact that my dog on the deck started barking. I have a very bad video. There was no sound and there was no light from the satellite, I saw a lot of them.

So, I did a little research. No one mentioned exactly these lanterns that night, but others stated that on other nights they thought they were Chinese lanterns. The trajectories from group to individual were accurate.

I just checked the wind direction that night from Env Canada, it was 340 degrees or northwest. This means that something floating could go in that direction.

What do you think?

Sincerely, T. P. "

In response to my Letter to Editor which appeared in The Northern Life on February 12, 2013, I received this first e-mail of three:

"Hi I just read your letter in the Northern Life.

On New Year's morning, say 00:05, we too saw five globes go across the northern sky in Sudbury. We live in Moonglo. Then once they were gone, a single same light went by on the same trajectory. They travelled NW to SE . What alerted me was my dog on the deck began barking. I got some very poor video. There was no sound and it was not light from a satellite, I've seen lots of those.

So I did some research. No one mentioned these particular ones on that night but others stated they thought they were Chinese lanterns on other nights. The trajectories were exact from the group to the single.

I've just checked and the wind direction that night from Env Canada and it was 340deg or from the NW. Which means something floating would have gone in that direction.

What do you think?

Regards,
T. P."
