Niagara ON                                                          

June 1973

Heading back to T.O from Niagara along the Q.E highway on a clear June afternoon. I observed an opaque silver-grey sphere hovering above a field to my right. I asked my husband to pull over. I walked as close as possible, it was perhaps 40' up, stationary, no sound nor lights. Estimated size was 20 to 30' in diameter. It's color now had a more translucent pearl sheen. My husband retreated back to the outside of the car. I was very curious and observed it for at least 5 minutes more when my husband suddenly demanded I come away and get into the car. As I backed away slowly, I found myself yanked and shoved into the car by my now panic stricken husband.(Unusual behaviour) He literally burned rubber down the highway. Shocked with his behaviour, he insisted that because we didn't know what it was that we should not stay. He was clearly shaken but it set me off to investigate UFOs, something I had previously no interest in. An interesting footnote: He had denied this experience for a decade saying I must have been with someone else, then suddenly began to tell the story. He truly didn't recall ever denying the story. Although our sighting was not as dramatic as many, it is an honest account of an object unknown and the unusual change of color.

Our thanks to the witness for sharing this report with us. Webmaster's note: The husband's reaction and later lack of recall is actually not that uncommon for those who have had such a close range sighting. I have read many similar reports over the years.
