I remember that warm afternoon in Sault Ste. Marie vividly—the sky was a clear, piercing blue, and something strange caught my eye. There it was, a shining silver sphere, perfect and pure, moving silently over the Algoma Steel Plant. It floated parallel to Wallace Terrace, gliding from east to west in a path so straight it seemed preordained. It was not large, probably no more than 10 to 12 feet in diameter, and it hovered not too high above the town.
What struck me most was its speed—it was faster than I could drive my car on these in-town roads, moving at about 60 kilometers per hour. My daughter saw it too, and together we chased this enigmatic orb, our hearts pounding with a mix of awe and disbelief. We pursued it through familiar streets but eventually lost sight near Allan Side Road.
Since that day, we have wondered: was it simply a weather balloon, or some government experiment sent up quietly to observe us? We have no answers, only the memory of that elusive sphere—pure silver, perfectly spherical, and utterly mysterious. We don’t claim to have seen something out of this world, but the experience lingers, a quiet whisper of the unknown stretching across the skies of Sault Ste. Marie.
