Well I saw one of those balls of orange light almost due west from Winnipeg airport time would have been about 11:00 p.m. July 11, 2012.
It was quite low and moving slowly southward. I would guess probably somewhere east of McPhillips and between Logan avenue and Wellington. It is however very difficult to estimate distance on a ball of light at range.
Unfortunately my rather expensive camcorder would not pick it up, too far and too dark I guess for the auto focus.
The closest I can give is almost a sort of flame color thought not quite that. Light was solid, with maybe some fluctuation though a light at night at distance could be atmospheric or even an optical effect.
I lost it in the tree cover after maybe half a minute as it traveled south.
As I live near the airport and have watched the lights of hundred or even thousands of planes, as well as being ex-armored recce (reconnaissance for you growing up on Americanism) I am pretty sure it was not an aircraft I can identify or that was familiar in any way.
It was closer to pyrotechnic that aircraft but way too large, too high and for far too long a duration for any pyrotechnic I have ever heard of.
It also had a far larger signature than the police helicopter that could be seen flying behind it, that however could be a distance effect as well.
Anyways that is the rather disjointed account.
