A high-speed alien spacecraft was observed flashing across the sky above Fort McMurray. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) published on 9 July, 2017.

The witness begins the report by telling us that he stepped out of house to have a cigarette at the time of the sighting.

"The time was approximately 5:30 AM. I seem to recall having trouble sleeping that morning, so I stepped out onto the back deck to check the weather and have a cigarette."

He describes how he saw the UFO when he looked north as it was moving above and parallel to the horizon.

"I was looking at the sky to judge cloud cover and look at the stars. When looking north I noticed movement to my right, in my peripheral. I looked towards the NW and saw a faint object moving in a straight line approximately 35° above horizon, more or less parallel to the horizon."

He provides a brief description of the exact location of the object.

"I focused on the object about 40° to the right of north and visual contact was only made for approximately 30° of the sky."

He then tells us how he lost sight of the alien craft because of pollution and houses blocking his view.

"I lost sight of the object before it was in the east. It was very faint and, I believe, I lost visual contact with it because of light pollution and houses blocking my view."

The witness says that the object had a light glow and describes its length.

"The object itself had a slight whitish/ grey glow. It was a dull slight glow with no bright intensity whatsoever. Lengthwise, it was about half the width of my fingernail held out at arm's length."

He further describes the shape of the UFO and also talks about remembering the speed of the object the most.

"It was shaped like a grain of rice on its side. What I remember most is the speed at which it travelled with no typical "shooting star" characteristics. Visual contact was 1-1.5 seconds."

He provides a brief explanation of why he thinks that the object was not a space junk or meteorite.

"I thought it may have been a meteorite or a piece of space junk. I did notice it moved as rapidly as meteorites I've seen in the past, but with no intense glow, tail or other similarities."
