A rectangular, box-shaped alien object was observed flying over Hamilton on 11 July, 2017. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) published on 12 July, 2017.

The witness talks about the date and time of the sighting.

"On July 11, 2017 at approximately 16:15 - 16:20 hrs., I witnessed an unidentifiable flying/floating object sailing over my area (East Hamilton, Ontario), from my apartment balcony."

He talks about the direction of the object and also provides a description of its size.

"This object caught my eye, drifting at first in my direction (fully south), coming from the north area of the city, closer to the lake. It was fairly large, and I estimated it to be almost the size of an Austin Mini Cooper car."

He then describes its appearance, shape and colour and also tells us how it changed directions.

"It looked solid/3D, and was rectangular and box-like in shape. The colour was a dark grey, but parts of it appeared to be a lighter grey. It changed direction as it approached my area, turning left, and heading toward the town of Stoney Creek (south-east/east)."

He then talks about the location of his neighbourhood and tells us that the object floated over the town out of his sight.

"My neighbourhood is on the border of Stoney Creek, and this object floated away over that town and out of sight."

He tells us why he took photos of the UFO only with his mobile phone.

"I captured a few photos of it with my mobile phone, but by the time I went into my apartment to get my phone and returned to the balcony with it, the object had moved further away, so the photos don't show it very well."

The witness further tells us that he had no idea what the object was initially and also says that its ability of stay airborne puzzled him.

"I had no idea what this object was when I first noticed it, or when it sailed past my location. It looked like a large, rectangular, metallic box. How it was airborne, and how it remained so, completely puzzled and mystified me."

He then says that he couldn't describe his feelings at the time of the sighting.

"I don't know how to describe my feelings at the time, really... nothing extraordinary, because I had no idea what this object could be."

The witness finally says that he is still thinking about the object and would want to know if anyone else also witnessed it.

"I'm still wondering about it, and would love to hear if anyone else happened to witness it too, and may have some idea of what it could be?"
