I had just finished a phone call with my husband around 5:20 PM when I stood before our bay windows and noticed an unusual blue light streaking across the sky. At first glance, it resembled a shooting star, but this was different—it was definitely within our atmosphere, close and unmistakable.
The fiery blue object moved steadily for around 30 seconds, leaving behind a distinct trail and surrounded by an eerie haze that gave it an almost otherworldly aura. The location is right in the direct flight path of Calgary Airport, so my initial thought was that it might be a small commuter airplane in distress or worse. However, no reports from local stations confirmed any such event.
I’ve seen strange formations before—back when I lived in Florida—but nothing this close or this vivid. This experience left me uneasy and pondering the nature of what I saw. Was it a natural phenomenon, or something more enigmatic?
This close encounter with a fireball-like object has etched itself into my memory, a moment when the skies above Airdrie briefly revealed a secret that defies easy explanation.
