UFOINFO Sighting Form Report
Location: Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
Date: 07/17/07
Approach Direction: West to East
Departure Direction: East
Witness Direction: Straight up
Description: Staying at the "Mid Trail" resort which is halfway through the Cabot Trail and adjacent to Pleasant Bay.
The sky was perfectly clear. I was laying outside on the patio with a blanket and pillow just watching the stars. I saw several planes fly behind the mountains nearby and a couple of satellites fly by.
At 1am directly above me a round light appeared as though it just phased in. It was nearly 3 times brighter than any star in the sky including Venus. Once it peaked its brightness it moved as slow as a satellite does from West to East across the sky. As it moved it began to fade in brightness until it looked much like a normal satellite does. It travelled for another 4 or 5 seconds then just simply disappeared.
I have seen many satellites and planes over the years as well as meteors and this was like nothing I have ever seen before.
Color/Shape: Bright white light
