Ottawa resident seriously shaken by lights/noise over Kanata
”I told my wife I thought it was a helicopter but could not see anything right away." At that moment, he said an object appeared about a mile away from them. There were "at least three to five of my neighbors" who came outside due to the noise and also saw the object.
Then they saw an object “flying extremely low, lower than an aircraft." It was followed, he said by "at least six other objects similar in appearance" and all were flying "parallel formation, coming from northeast, headed westbound toward Arnprior/Almone, Ontario." When he could see all of the objects more clearly, he said it sounded like "a fleet of helicopters" but they were not. He added that it was quite dark so it was hard to determine the shape of the objects but he noted that there were "multi-colored blinking lights" surrounding them as they flew by.
He also said that the “most distinct feature” was the noise. “I cannot stress how loud it was…” He said that he called the city to see if there were any reports and was given the number for the police. He was told that there was a “counter terrorist drill being conducted by members of the RCMP and MP… funny how I don’t recall the RCMP having access to aircraft… and why would they conduct the drill so late” and "in a residential area?" He also questioned why they did not look like planes or helicopters and flew so low.
Although he could not determine the exact height, he said the objects appeared to be “about one mile above our houses." As well, he noted the recent earthquake, which "originated west of here in Arnprior, Ontario" (the direction the aircraft were flying). "
I recall when Japan, Chile and Haiti had their earthquakes occur from 09-10', there was active UFO sightings occurring before the quake(s) hit."
