From the 15th floor of my high-rise apartment in Mississauga, facing east towards the iconic CN Tower, I witnessed an extraordinary event that holds a strange place in my memory. Under a crystal-clear sky on the morning of July 28, 2001, an unusual circular object appeared, rising silently from behind the 10th-story building across the street. Its size was roughly comparable to a satellite dish, and its movements were both deliberate and bewildering.
The object flew parallel to the ground with an eerie grace before making a sharp turn eastward and then ascending steadily. What caught my attention was the object’s surface, flickering mysteriously from an opaque finish to a shining mirror-like coating, as if alive with an otherworldly energy. Suddenly, a massive storm cloud formed rapidly, stretching across nearly 20 miles—the distance to the CN Tower—from horizon to horizon.
This vast cloud enveloped the enigmatic object within moments. I glanced away briefly, and when I looked back, both the storm cloud and the mysterious circle had vanished without a trace. The entire episode lasted approximately ten minutes, leaving behind a haunting impression that lingers.
This strange encounter raises compelling questions: Was this object of terrestrial origin or something far more mysterious? How did the storm cloud form so swiftly, seemingly to cloak the object from view? These unanswered mysteries continue to captivate those who gaze skyward, wondering what secrets the universe might be concealing just beyond our reach.
