I just received three more recent sighting reports:
January 2, 2007
New Bothwell, MB
6:30 pm local
A "huge, bright thing falling from the sky" was seen towards the East of
New Bothwell by a lone witness in a car going towards the town. It
appeared like "a piece of a plane," with chunks breaking off as it fell.
The white fireball was watched "all the way to the ground" and the
witness thought that an expedition on snowmobiles would locate the debris
on the ground "a few miles away."
January 1, 2007
Winnipeg, MB
4:30 pm
Two witnesses observed a bright, orange UFO in the SE sky while en route
South from Grand Beach to Winnipeg. One used a camera to take several
photos and had enough time to set his camera on different settings
while the object was in flight. Unfortunately, none of the photos are of
sufficient quality to make any judgement about what the object might have
been. The duration of the sighting was about 30 minutes, during which time
the object appeared to become snaller and dimmer, suggesting it was moving
away from the observers.
January 8, 2007
Sach's Harbour, NT
2:00 pm local
At least six people in different locations watched a slow-moving,
orange object moving South over the town. It was described as "the size of
an aiplane at 30,000 feet" and "like a marble at arm's length." It was
described as "bullet-shaped," leaving a trail of debris in its wake.
Pieces seemed to be falling off, brightening, them dimming quickly as they
fell. Its movement was thought to be the "speed of a plane" and it was in
view for an estimated five minutes. Although the time of the sighting was
2:00 pm, Sach's Harbour is North of the Arctic Circle and therefore the
sky was dark.
========================================
A few comments:
It's interesting that there have been so many fireball reports worldwide
so far in 2007. Apart from the O'Hare event (which occurred in November
2006), there have been several bright bolides during the first week of
January 2007 in Canada, the USA, Iran and Singapore. (The fireball over
Denver was a spectacular re-entry of a Russian rocket booster that was
filmed by traffic helicopters.)
