On a clear summer morning in Edmonton, something utterly unexplainable caught my family’s attention. It was around 9:05 a.m. at Glengarry Park, where my children played under a bright sun and mostly clear skies. The air held a gentle warmth near 20 degrees Celsius. Suddenly, I noticed a glowing, circular object high in the sky, eerily still and brilliant white against the blue canvas above. I called my wife’s attention to it, and just as we focused, more appeared — not just one, but multiple luminous orbs arranged initially in a sharp triangular formation.
As the minutes ticked by, what we thought were three objects morphed into at least seven to nine, darting northeast with an otherworldly grace. These spheres bled through colors—from bright white to haunting shades of blue and a flicker of orange—each shape-shifting in brightness and focus. One orb broke formation, descending closer than the rest, its presence undeniable.
Throughout the twenty-five minutes, the objects seemed to pulsate between rapid bursts of speed and haunting stillness, often slipping in and out of our visual grasp, forcing us to look away then back again. My wife and I seized the moment with our iPhones, trying to capture this ethereal dance against the glaring sun and tricky screen reflections. Reviewing the footage later, we uncovered clear glimpses of one object, with faint impressions of others.
Adding to the surreal scene was the appearance of a passenger jet, which flew near these enigmatic orbs. Though it seemed lower in altitude, the precise relationship between the jet and these lights was ambiguous. What struck us most was the lack of any visible exhaust or contrails from the orbs, even as they executed swift, unpredictable maneuvers that far outpaced the jet’s velocity.
The park itself lies just ten kilometers from Canadian Forces Base Edmonton, which only adds to the puzzlement. Both my wife and I, with backgrounds grounded in police work and education, have never witnessed anything resembling this spectacle. We remain deeply curious and eager to understand the nature of these strange aerial visitors and hope the videos we captured might offer some clues to their origin.
This experience has etched itself into my mind—not just as an enigmatic sighting, but as a profound reminder of the vast unknowns still hovering silently above us.
