Number of Witnesses: Three

Weather: Clear Skies. Visibility 15 Miles

Description (In Witness's Own Words): Location: 9th Concession of Tay Valley Township (formerly Bathurst) of Lanark County of Ontario, Canada. We saw a bright blue light streaking extremely fast through the sky. It was parallel to the land and did not appear very high overtop the trees and house. It had a glowing red light behind it. I thought that it was a airplane at first since it had the red light at the back. My two daughters thought that it was a falling star because their were no flashing lights like an airplane. But all of a sudden it just disappeared. It did not go up or down it just vanished.

Investigator's Notes:   Three sightings occurred in Ottawa, Ontario area 15 minutes apart and at locations about 50 miles apart.  Each sighting had different characteristics (color, speed, time of sighting, etc) so it is not known if the sightings are related.  Two sightings were reported about one day after occurrence and one three days after occurrence.  Given characteristics described I believe that these sightings are likely astronomical phenomena (meteors).
