On the night of May 19, 2007, my eyes were drawn to an unusual spectacle hanging in the dark, starless sky above Toronto. Near the moon’s gentle glow, a solitary circle of light shone with an intensity that made it impossible to ignore. This glowing orb wasn’t just a flicker or a fleeting glimpse—it lingered for an extraordinary 40 minutes.
Positioned near the Scarborough Town Centre, I watched as this captivating circle shimmered with a radiant aura, its outline softened by a mysterious haze. Unlike the cold twinkle of distant stars, this presence was palpable, alive with an eerie glow that suggested something otherworldly. Lights studded its form, pulsating softly in rhythm with the night.
The city’s usual bustle seemed to fade away as my attention was wholly claimed by this silent visitor. What was it? A wandering UFO or perhaps a space shuttle, paused mid-travel? The certainty eluded me, but the memory of that haunting circle, suspended in the moonlit night, remains etched in my mind. That night sky, usually dotted with a galaxy’s worth of stars, was instead dominated by an enigmatic orb that could not be explained away.
