“A mysterious object was
sighted last night over the Royal Canadian Air Force base at nearby St. Hubert . Reports today said it also hovered for
several minutes over a playing field in Montreal
Claude Mercier said he
and about 10 of his neighbors saw the object hovering over a park area at the
intersection of De Fleurinont and Garnier streets.
‘It looked like a big
round balloon, about 10 feet
in diameter, with a yellow light inside,’ said Mercier in an interview. ‘Fiery
sparks came from the underside of the object as it hovered over the field.
‘It was very low and it
appeared as though it was going to land. But after hanging in the air a few
minutes it took off, rising not vertically but at a slant and at a terrific
speed. Within two or three minutes we had lost sight of it on the horizon.’
As it rose, he said, the
yellow light inside the balloon seemed to go off.
He said the sighting was
made about 8 p.m., approximately at the same time as people in the suburbs of
the South Shore
opposite Montreal
