Background
Witness Account
At 13:40 a woman was sitting on a bench in the park along the St. Clair River in Sarnia, Ontario. A grey object suddenly appeared in front of her, hovering vertically with its lower end 25° above the horizon. It had a tubular shape with rounded ends.
Observation of the Secondary Object
Shortly afterwards she noticed a white spherical unit that was ejected from the first object. It flew a short distance north toward Lake Huron and disappeared there. The original object also dissolved a few seconds later.
Sources and Significance
Reported by Herbert S. Taylor in "Satellite Objects and Cloud Cigars", IUR 29,1 (Spring 2004): 26. The event of April 20, 1997 is notable for the ejection of satellite objects, a feature of certain UAP observations. No further evidence such as photographs exists, but the single witness gave a detailed account.
