1992-12-08 - Saint Julie, QC - Changing

Light observed at close range with changing size and vanishing act

At approximatly 18:00hrs. It was just after work and it was dark. I was the last one to leave, as it often happenned. i was a mechanic at the time, specialized in electronic transmissions, engine rebuilding and electronic fuel injection systems.

So, i'm sitting in my car, waiting for my engine to warm up because it was quite cold that night. I looked at Mount St-Bruno, with its lit ski Hill and at the highway coming out of Montreal to my left. To my right was the Dealership where i worked.

Suddenly, just in front and above the garage, i would say 75yards in front of me and 150feet in the air, there was what looked like 3 large redish flood lights hanging in mid air, i looked at them for about a minute, i looked for the helicopter that should have been carrying these lights, but no, there was nothing i could see. I decided to get out of the car to listen for any sounds, i could hear the traffic on the highway at about 100 yards to my left, but nothing from what had now become 1 large redish light.

Then it started moving directly toward the ski hill. When it got close to the hill, it turned west, towards Montreal following the lenght of the mountain when all of a sudden it was just a flashlight size glow, turned 180 degrees and went back over the ski slope. Now this is what blew my mind, i could see the hill behind the glow. Well it passed beetween two light poles on the hill, went in to the woods an vanished.

Couldn't sleep that night.
