Initial data
On April 2 at 22:09, a resident of Hanmer posted a comment on the Valley East Facebook page. Her initial post (on the night of the event) read:
"Has anyone else seen two fireballs flying in the sky near St. Mary's Church? He lit up, and then began to slowly descend. very strange."
On Friday, April 15, the author of the original material met with DO, another resident of Hanmer, who happened to be in the same observation area, at about the same time. With his help, he pieced together the following report on the observation of that woman:
"The event took place on Saturday, April 2, at about 22:00. The location is very close (to the west) of Hanmer Plaza in Val Teresa (Eastern Valley), near Highway 69N, in a residential area, near St. Mary's Boulevard. where she described how two "fireballs" were moving and then approaching, that was exactly the area I was in."
[It was a short-lived event, she was at the moment - and she didn't have her phone with her.]
It took her a while to get some images online that, in her opinion, were very similar to what she witnessed. Find them embedded in the publication (2 images).
When asked if they could be Chinese lanterns (in a snowstorm day and night, with a small blizzard immediately in front of it with almost white weather conditions, and then a strong wind, gusts and gusts of wind, shearing snow at times), she replied:
"That's what my hubby said, but it was so weird; he just appeared, and then went down behind the houses. I've seen Chinese lanterns before, but maybe. It was creepy. I can't laugh"
[I find it very interesting that she describes it first as "weird" and then as "creepy". This is a harbinger of real fear, an instinctive subconscious reaction occurs. Something extremely unusual. She had an emotional reaction to his appearance and behavior. She did not have enough sharpness of observation to observe the peculiarities of the climate and atmospheric conditions at that time, which were very unstable, but she noted that it was very windy (since it was in this area all day, all evening, all night. ). It was also very cold, with a strong cold wind.
[I would like to mention that right at the place where it went to the east, hiding from her view, there is a very old natural stream. The stream was here before the time of pioneers and settlers. Once it was quite deep with a strong current (and now it is allowed to fill up again and really "flow" again). It flows for a considerable distance in both directions and is fed from very large inland areas/swamps to the southwest. Eventually it connects to a very long and very old (ancient) deep and fast stream a few kilometers away.
This stream, right where the observation took place, also branches out and extends under the surroundings over which "fireballs"/spheres appeared and moved. The district was actually built over it, and an underground canal was laid around it.]
Here's the original conversation we had with her. I tried to be as unobtrusive as possible so that she would not stop the conversation if she became uncomfortable. She posted it on Facebook right after it happened. As you will see, she said that she was satisfied that I would connect you with her.
PS A few days ago there were also reports and rumors from Kapreol.
I'm always around (and in the neighborhood, exploring, etc.). If there's anything I can do to help, let me know and I'll do my best.
Her report is excellent because it completely rejects natural atmospheric phenomena and other conventional explanations. It would be nice to have.
After the author of the original material met and talked with DO, I was told that two orange-red fireballs appeared one after the other in a vertical formation, one above the other. And then, when each "fireball" descended from the sky with a gradual slow speed, they stopped, moved slightly to one side or the other, maneuvering low over the backyards of residential buildings, and then decreased in size, as if the objects were moving away from your eyes in a straight line and eventually disappeared.
He thanks DO for her help with this report.
Original news
Date: Saturday, April 2
Location: Hanmer, Ontario
On April 2, at 10:09 p.m., a Hanmer resident posted a comment on the Valley East Facebook page. Her original post (on the night of the event) read:
“Anyone else see two fireball things flying in the sky near st Marie's? It lit up and then was coming down slowly. very weird.”
On Friday, April 15th, I met with D.O., another Hanmer resident who happened to be in the same general area of the sighting, at approximately the same time. With his help, I've pieced together the following account of that lady's sighting:
"The event happened Saturday, April 2, right around 10 p.m. The location is very close (just West) to the Hanmer Plaza in Val Therese (Valley East), just off Highway 69N, in a residential subdivision, off of St. Mary’s Boulevard where she described the 2 “fireballs” moving into and then toward was exactly the area where I was."
[It wasn’t a long event, she was in the moment — and she didn’t have her phone with her.]
She took some time to acquire some images off the net that she felt looked very much like what she witnessed. Find them embedded in the posting (2 images).
"Looked like this," she wrote.
"There was two like this, actually" , she added.
When she was asked if they might have been Chinese Lanterns (on a snow-storming day and night, with a mini-blizzard immediately before it with near white-out conditions, and then strong winds, gusts, and blowing, shearing snow at the time), she replied:
“That's what my hubby said too but it was so weird; it just appeared and then lowered behind houses. I have seen Chinese lanterns before but maybe. Was creepy. lol”
[I find it very interesting that she describes it first as “weird” and then “creepy”. That’s a precursor to actual fear, an instinctive subliminal reaction going on. Something extremely unusual. She had an emotional reaction to the sight and behaviour of it. She didn’t have the observational acuity to observe the specifics of climate and atmospheric conditions at the time, which were very volatile, but she did note that it was very windy (as it was in the area all day, all evening, all night). It was also very cold, with a solid wind chill factor. I was in the same neighbourhood at precisely the same time and WAS observing all of these conditions closely.]
[I’d like to mention that there is a very old, natural creek directly right in the area of where it was moving Eastward out of her sight. The creek has been there since before pioneering and settlers’ times. It was once quite deep with a strong current (and is now allowed to fill up again and really 'flow' once more). It flows quite a distance in both directions and feeds from a very large hinterland/marshland to the SouthWest. It eventually connects with an extremely long and very old (ancient) deep, swift creek a few km's away called Whitson Creek that cuts across a massive portion of the Sudbury Basin itself.
This creek right by where the sighting happened also forks off and extends under the neighbourhood over which the “fireballs”/spheres appeared and traveled over. The neighbourhood was actually built over it and an underground channel made around it.]
Here’s the original conversation her and I had. I tried to be as non-intrusive as I could so she wouldn’t end the talk if she became uncomfortable. She posted it on Facebook right after it happened. As you’ll see, she said she was alright with me connecting you with her.
P.S. There were also sightings and rumours from Capreol a few days ago.
I'm always right in the area (and the neighbourhood, exploring, etc.). If there's any way I can be of help, let me know and I'll do what I can.
Her account is excellent because it completely throws natural atmopsheric phenomenon and other usual explanations out the window. Would be good to have.
After I met and spoke with D.O., I was told that the two orange-red fireballs had appeared one after the other in a vertical formation, one above the other. And then, as each "fireball" descended from the sky at a gradual slow speed, they would stop, slightly move over to one side or the other as they maneuvered low over some residential backyards, and then dwindled in size as you would get if the objects were moving away from your eyes in a straight line and eventually disappeared.
My thanks go to D.O. for his help with this report.
