Place: Mattawa, Province of Ontario, Canada.

Early in September, a very unusual event occurred in the small town of Mattawa, Ontario.

According to an anonymous report published on Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a couple of farmers affirmed to have seen “a white dot” hovering in the sky over the Ontarian village.

“My wife and I were doing our normal yard work. I was driving my small tractor across an open space, and happened to look up [and] saw this white dot in the sky, which was not something I normally see”, the author of the report expressed. “This object was in and out of the clouds. It was like a traditional shaped parachute with nothing hanging from it”, he continued.

The Mattawa resident also explained that, even after using binoculars and a telescope, he could not identify the strange object. “We watched it for a few minutes, [and] then I went and got the camera, our binoculars, and later my small telescope. It was not any aircraft that I am familiar with, (I am a plane buff of sorts) nor was it a hot air balloon which we thought of, too”, he affirmed.

“It [the object] was not descending or ascending at all; [it was] drifting slowly eastward. [There was] no visible payload of any kind, and [I saw] these three struts that went from a central hub to three points on the edges of the circle. With the telescope you could see that these were horizontal, not hanging down beneath the dome”, he described. “We watched this ‘float’ over our farm property for almost 30 minutes, after which it disappeared above the clouds, drifting eastward”, he explained.

The Canadian citizen also related in his report that some people in Québec saw the same object. “I have noted that someone in a community in Québec also saw something very similar on the same day and have reported it here on MUFON, just later in the afternoon or early evening. I am convinced they are describing the same object. They said they saw the struts like a peace sign [but] I would say you could trace an equilateral triangle over the ends of the lines, so not quite like a peace sign”, he commented.

“We were a little excited about the experience, especially today, noting that someone else saw it too”, he asserted.
