Man Sights Large Fast Moving Light
- Montreal -

Date of Sighting: October 8, 2004
Date Sighting Reported: October 8, 2004
Time of Sighting: 7:30 PM E.D.T.
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Number of Witnesses: One
Weather: Clear

Description: A man said that he saw a ball of light about the size of a grapefruit (50% the size of the full moon) traveling in a west-northwesterly direction at incredible speed.  He said that he barely had time to notice it when it suddenly disappeared. (The light was visible for only two seconds.) No noise was exhibited by the light.  The witness speculated that the light was not an airplane, not a shooting star (meteor), not a satellite.  His reason for this conclusion was that the light was too bright, too fast, and too large to fit any of these categories.

Investigative Notes: This sighting has just been received.  Initially my thought was that this sighting could be a meteor.  However, I plan to contact NORAD to see if space debris was noted in that area.  I also will be checking other UFO report sources for similar sightings in this area.  New information will be posted as received. The witness is an amateur astronomer and is sure that the light doesn't fit any celestial phenomena.
