NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — After spending Saturday evening at the Greg Frewin Theatre, at first Angela Jordan didn’t think the bizarre lights in the sky above the falls were all that magical.
“I thought, being in Niagara Falls, it was another attraction,” the Brampton resident said Monday.
But as all eyes in the tourist center were drawn skyward, she joked with her husband Scott that the mysterious formation must be a UFO.
“We stood there looking at it for 20 minutes. Personally, I don’t know what it was,” she said. “It looked like a piece of metal, and my husband thinks it was a spaceship.”
The truth is out there, somewhere.
According to a number of witnesses who contacted The Niagara Falls Review, the unidentified object appeared around 10 p.m. and hovered in the sky for a couple of hours.
Several witnesses reported seeing an object that appeared to be obscured by clouds. However, when the revolving strobe lights from the casino flashing into the sky came together, “something” in the sky was illuminated.
Some reported seeing blue lights. Others recalled red beams of light.
Tom McLaughlin was helping a friend move on Florence Avenue.
“It seemed like it was right above us. You couldn’t see past the clouds, but there was something up there.”
McLaughlin at first thought the object was a hot air balloon or a blimp, but shelved that explanation after realizing the object never moved.
“It was really weird,” he said
