On the night of August 9, 2013, at precisely 11:00 p.m., something extraordinary unfolded over Guelph, Ontario. A strikingly bright, large circular object, glowing in deep red-orange hues, drifted silently across the sky. Five of us—each grounded in our everyday lives as a teacher, occupational therapist, IT manager, graphic designer, and university student—watched in stunned silence, unsettled by the unexplainable sight.
This orb was unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. It moved steadily from west to east at a relatively low altitude, about a 45-degree angle above the horizon. What set it apart was its vivid, fiery glow—so intense that we initially feared it was a small plane aflame. Yet, something was off. The object maintained a smooth, unwavering trajectory, ruling out any notion of descent or emergency.
For two long minutes, its mesmerizing glow cast an eerie light across the quiet night, slowly vanishing from view as it headed east. None of us had ever given credence to UFO stories before that night. Now, questions linger in the air, fueling our restless curiosity and unease.
After scouring local reports, we found no mention of others witnessing this haunting spectacle. Was it a low-flying satellite? A rare atmospheric anomaly? Or something else entirely?
Our experience that night in Guelph serves as a chilling reminder: sometimes the sky holds mysteries that defy explanation, leaving even the skeptics among us grasping for answers. Whatever it was, the memory of that glowing red orb continues to unsettle and intrigue us—an enigma spinning silently above the quiet streets we thought we knew.
