Light Going In Circles In The Sky Over Ottawa Ontario


Date:  October 17, 2012
Time:  From 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

Hi, I live in Gatineau and last night (October 17th, 2012)  I saw a light going around in a circle over Ottawa. It looked like it was doing an elliptic design, but l am not sure, it could have been the angle at which I was seeing it. 

It wasn't a spot light because there was no beam of light coming from the ground, in fact it was cloudy and the light was behind the clouds, sometimes seeming brighter and other times almost invisible depending on the thickness of the cloud cover. 

I watched it for at least an hour, from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. I haven't seen any reports on the news this morning, I'm wondering if anyone else as seen this.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.

  1. OMG!!!! I was walking home Saturday, Oct 20th in Barrahven AT 2:30AM and I saw the exact same thing!! I have been searching online for anyone who saw the same thing! I thought it was a signal sign at first too, but there was no beam of light! And yes.. it was floating behind the clouds! It was beautiful actually and peaceful. Its just kept going round and round. I'm so glad someone else saw it too!I tried to take pics/video but the street lamps/light kept getting in the way and it wouldn't show up on my cam.

  2. This sounds exactly like what I just saw outside, it keeps going around in circles and it has been going on for about an hour now. It's very strange and it started about 2am, I don't know what it is but I doubt it's searchlights.

    2. I saw the same thing july 19 2015 over la after a storm. Two balls of light were orbiting like binary stars system . I can theorize that they could have been a quarter mile across causing great ionization and friction accelarating litium electrons simular to a particle accelarator, from chemtrail spray. Friction enhancing g,s causing small inter dimentional gamma ray portals to open and let 7th dimentional particles thru . Indestructable super intellegent nanobots who will take over humands mind and bodys and form larger powerful beings. Notice the city side walks have black round small gum looking circle
      the look two dimentional but the are 3 d silicone and can be used as transister or explosive devices but I assur err you its not gum they are everywhere

      I'm seeing the same thing four lights moving around it what seems to be a circular rhythm almost appearing to illuminate mostly off the clouds then seemingly dissappearing across the stars. The lights multiplied at one point and even got larger they appear to slow down as well as speed up moving farther then back towards myself. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

  9. I just saw last night like 10 (not perfect) circles going around a cloud in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A storm was coming but I have never seen such a thing and i don't believe in aliens, but this... was very strange.

    I video taped it but it's too dark, it can hardly been seen on the pc

  12. Interesting....I just let my dog out and happened to look up and saw these orbs circle around above...they seem to be chasing each other going in the same diameter circle. My husband said they were search lights.....but I saw no streaming light.......so weird. like the others I tried taking pictures and video....but it did not show up on my camera. The orbs have been going around in circles for a couple of hours now.

  13. I live in Pa. Around 10:30 tonight I saw 4 large translucent lights moving in a circular motion and coming together forming one then splitting apart and doing it over and over again. Wasn't sure if that is what search light do but it looked odd!

  14. On 7/25/14 at 9:45 pm I noticed an orange object like a plane in the sky. It looked like it wasn't moving so I pulled over in my vehicle to watch it. It looked like the size of a plane but was wrapped in an orange light or flare like the end of a rocket without any noise. As it moved slowly north all you could see was the orange circle. It eventually fizzled out and disappeared. I have seen meteors before but this seemed to small. Anyway, when I got home a few minutes later, 9:50 pm, I looked in the sky an noticed a green search light in the clouds moving in a counterclockwise circle. There was no visible beam coming from the ground as the source. It kept the same counterclockwise trac. When my wife came out to see it we noticed the same orange light I saw previously in the distance moving west. The green search light continued the same trac for several hours until 11:20 pm when I was watching it looking at a gap in the clouds and the light suddenly disappeared. This happened on the east side of Cincinnati, Ohio.

    Last 5 nights or more lights have been circling my house. Only noticeable when behind clouds. No beams. They have changed their patterns nightly. Maybe a coincidence but electrical equipment acting "funny" last few days. At first I felt these lights were man-made or if not than they were harmless, almost peaceful. Now, since hearing all these reports, I'm becoming scared.

  17. Chicago, IL. Two nights ago, my husband and I saw the same thing. Four large bright lights chasing each other in a perfect circle, then meeting in the middle only to go back into forming a circle and chasing each other around the circle again. This went on for over an hour. We sure would like to know what type of phenomenon this could have been. It's very interesting to see that so many have experienced the same phenomenon.

Watched for about 30minutes and got tired.but for sure it was inside the clouds 100%no doubt.

  20. Saturday 11/8/14, Tinton Falls, NJ 11:30pm, my daughter was outside in her car in the driveway when she called me outside to see some strange lights in the sky. There were 2 lights circling counterclockwise for at least 20 minutes before one faded out first and the second light faded a minute later. It's cloudy and the lights could be seen circle against the clouds but there were not light beems from the ground. The lights were round and a blueish white color and moved together sometimes and sometimes they were apart. They seemed to hover right over our house.

  21. Friday evening from San Antonio Tx Northwest side. Started around at least 6:50 pm and is currently still going on and it's 11:47 pm.

    One big ball of light going in circles clockwise in the sky. Not super fast but not slow either. I got a really eerie feeling as I was watching it. No possible explanation. I'd really like to know what this is. It's not a search light either

  22. Weird...I just stepped out in San Antonio 2AM. Saw a circle light in the cloudy sky going clockwise but no beams from the ground. Was slowly travelling southwest

  23. I live in the Northern part of Australia. I happened to step outside my house at approximately 10:10pm, and noticed 2 lights pass over me and over my house. I looked up as they moved very fast and saw in all 5 round shaped balls of what looked like clouds. My teenage children also came out to watch them and I also called my neighbour who was amazed at what she saw also. It is a cloudy night here with little breeze, and the circles swirled around in the sky for over 30 minutes we watched them swirl around each other in small circles, then larger circles, they would separate and then get back together, it was beautiful to watch. After a time two of the lights disappeared behind the clouds, the other 3 swirled to a stop in a non cloudy patch of sky and were still for 1 to 2 minutes before they faded out and were gone.

  24. Just saw a ring of perhaps 10 white/bluey lights in limerick Ireland at 7pm this evening.
    Lights were rotating and changing from circular to conical in shape.
    Would disappear and reappear in different locations in a radius of about a mile from my house???

  25. 4:15am in Auburn, AL. One light in clouds making circles. Same exact description as many of you. No explanation. Also hear what sounds like loud bass in car but no explanation....just gets louder and softer.

  26. White light circling over the Hudson River in the Stuyvesant, NY(USA) Noticed it around 4am and it is still in the sky. It isn't making any noise, at least I don't hear any, though every now and then I do hear a faint humming, but not sure if it is connected. Also a plane flew to the east of it, I'm not sure if they were the same altitude though. It has been 40 minutes since I noticed it and it is still just flying around in almost a pattern. It feels like it is looking for something. This is the second time I've seen a silent white light flying in the sky in Stuyvesant. The last time was a few years ago, but that light flew north following the river. I wonder if thet are connected in a way and I wonder if water is something connected with other sightings as well. I've heard some UFOs go into the water, not sure if this could be related since it's above the river. If I see it do something other than circle the sky (such as fly into the river) I'll be sure to report it here. I also find it weird that it is similar time as Auburn...

  27. I saw three white lights here in white Plains, NY. Today is actually my first time I see these things it was really scary but my sister in law she told me she saw it yesterday and the day before. It's goes like in circles like if somebody was using a flashlight from the sky. This happen around 9 and up

  28. HI how strange, same here London, thats why im here thought id research, last night i went outside in the garden, very cloudy and witnesed like a flash light effect, behind the clouds, i was looking to see if any one was flashing a torch, the light seemed to shot pass me then came back, and move in the clouds flashing. The time was around 9.30.

  29. This is way to weird. Just saw this now 7pm in South Africa. Has been happening almost everyday now over my house. Why isn't there more info on this on the Internet. Especially since we are a good number that has spotted it! At first thought it was search lights and brushed it off but the more you look at it you can tell it's coming from INSIDE the clouds! Please someone put more info on this or research!

  30. Joplin, MO this morning at 5:30 am central time. One white light, making a large circle in behind the clouds. At 6:00 am, it was still there...and gone at 6:45 am. It almost seemed to be above my house. Very scary! I would love to know what it was.

  31. i am so glad to find othersn who have witnessed this same thing. ONE BALL OF LIGHT, moving in a clockward motion; kind of fast, then slows down. didnt realizeni had stood there watchingnit for about 30 minutes. it was clousy, lotsmof broken clouds in the sky, with some spots of blackness of the sky, but the light could only be seen whike behind the clouds. this is no coincidence. this happened, here in LEXINGTON, KY.

  32. WHAT S IT?! does anyone have any ideas? I've seen this light also, going round in a circle, like its looking for something. i watched it for about 30 minutes. then all of a sudden, I became a bit frightened. Did anyone else become a bit uneasy, after watching it for a period of time? please respond. we need to know what this was.

  33. On 22 May 2015, I saw 2 white light beams and then a total of 8 white light beams from above the clouds. The beams were equally spaced, had the same brightness and length and were from the same spot in the sky. Then all beams shut off like turning off a light switch. A few minutes later, I saw one travelling white light and half hour later or so, there were four white lights travelling above the sky all going in the same direction. I wonder what these beams and lights are.

  34. I'm so grateful to read these comments. In May, 2015, I saw odd moving lights, bluish, two, moving in tandem, and behind the clouds. It was a dark night and I was looking out the window from my bed. It looked the same as a light would look if it was moving under water and you were watching it from the surface. It did not go in circles as the other comments have stated. The two light did a kind of wave movement and disappeared. The light came from behind the clouds and there was no search light or light beam... It has puzzled me since I saw it and I've never seen anything similar. These lights were over Oshawa, Ontario.

  35. I saw 4 lights moving in circles just as you've all described above, last night in Southend-on-Sea, UK. I watched for quite a long time and couldn't see any searchlights anywhere. They kept being obscure by cloud cover.

  36. I've just seen the same 4 lights in Southend on Sea tonight from 8.30 to.9.45pm. It really freaked me out. What are they?

  37. Ok my husband and I are from upstate New York. On August 11 2015 we had gotten for the meteor shower around 3 am. about 4 am we seen a small yellowish light moving 8n a circle motion. We were amazed and watched it for about a 1/2 hour. Then we couldn't see it any more. We told family and I did look to see if anyone else posted anything. I didn't see anything until now. Omg what is it. And why hasn't anyone else post it. I'm so amazed, yet freaked out at the same time. Feeling many ways on what my eyes have seen.

  38. I live in Mississauga ON Canada and it is going on right now. Its 12am but I noticed it about 11:30pm. There are 4 lights going in a circle but sometimes they go in different directions. Its like they are playing tag. I don't know if its angels,spirits or ufos. I jumped on google to see if anyone else has seen this but no clear explanation.

    1. Hey there! I live in Mississauga as well...And I saw something similar. There were four white lights in the sky I observed on my walk to work this morning at 6:23 AM . It was a bit cloudly and dark at that time but these four spots were distinctly noticeable as they were a whitish color lighter then the darkened sky or clouds, seemed to be low amd were rotating clockwise. While rotating they would expand, and then contract and converge before expanding out in a repeating cycle. It struck me as very odd, because the pattern of the motion kept the same pace and as far as I could tell the distance they spread out was the same which each rotation. Even as the sky brigjtened they were visible, and while the scattered clouds would sometime make ot harder to see thhe spot i never lost sight of them. Because the size of the spots and the area they covered was noticeably large I couldn't be sure of my distance in relation to them but I know they were in the direction of the west and had to be in the low cloud level as I also saw a plane pass nearby and the plane was so much higher in comparison. It almost seemed like they were following along my lefthand side as it was easy to see the spots alongside the duration of my 2.3 kilometer walk bit maybe that was a trick due to distance. I don't know. I can't explain it, and I never have seen anything like it before.

  39. I saw same thing last night above Knoxville, TN. There were two moving lights at 1st, and then this reduced to one. It was passing through a lit up area in the clouds with every rotation. It was definitely either above or in the clouds but you couldn't see anything in a cloud break. I have never seen this before in my life.

  40. I saw two lights above Knoxville, TN last night moving in a circular pattern. One disappeared after a bit and the remaining one was passing through a lit area in a cloud with every pass. It was definitely either in or above the clouds and not a spot light. This was the most unusual thing I have ever seen.

  41. There was a circular light, white cloud or orb circling over my front yard last week, just above my second story. It went on a few hours, witnessed by three people. It was not a searchlight or in my neighbors' yards. We tried to video it but it would not show up on our cameras, so strange... After each rotation, the light would pause and seem to charge with energy and form two more orbs but quickly merge and become one again.

  42. I live here in the NE part of US. I experienced this same phenomenon back in the 1990's (and it went on for the longest period of time) and again just last week. Also talked with a relative today who saw this last night. One thing is consistent and that it always seems to occur when its cloudy out. They were round lights moving in a rapid circular motion in one area above me. Very strange. I am sure there is a logical explanation for this.

  43. I just conducted an internet search and came upon this site. There are two large bright lights over my house now moving in circles and have been there for at least 30 minutes. It is 10:30 pm on a cloudy evening here in Fredericton New Brunswick Canada

  44. I just seen the same thing here in southern, GA, USA around 10:00pm EST, Nov. 2, 2016. I had to look it up! The wind is blowing, two lights swirling above the clouds, and there's like some fake flash lightening in the sky, never any thunder. It also rained for a few mins (I mean like less than 5mins twice so far) and suddenly stops. The wind suddenly stopped too after the short rainfalls. Now, at about 10:30pm EST, the lights, winds, and rains are all GONE! I've never seen anything like this in all my 40 years of life. Something is very weird about all of this...

  46. Yesterday, after have finishing work in the evening, I went to catch the bus as I always do. Then I saw these, the same, circulating lights as are mentioned above.
    I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I did also notice that there was something odd about the clouds formation. They looked something like sausages, bars or how to explain?
    And behind the light was moving around in circles.

  47. Saw the same 4 white balls of translucent light behind clouds at night. Going in elliptical circles and meeting back in middle. As if drawing a flower petal right over my house in Charlotte, NC. My mom saw it too, but camera wouldnt pick it up. Went on for an hour or more. Called my neighbor half a mile away but she couldnt see it.

  48. Los Angeles, California. 9p.m. I stepped outside to take my dog for a walk. Usually he runs out excited but tonight he sat there barking even though there was no other people or animals around. I figured maybe he sensed that storm, that according to weather reports is expected any minute.
    So I look up at the sky to see if those storm clouds are near and see two lights circling around through the sky, it looks as though they are chasing each other. Its cloudy out but there is small areas of sky not covered by clouds, however the lights seem to dissappear when they pass thru the clear sky. At one point one of the lights would meet the other for a second becoming brighter. The clockwise circle pattern was hypnotic. I tried to record it but the clouds were perfect cover for whatever it was. So far no one has any logical explanations just a bunch more unanswerd quedtion

  49. Highlands Ranch, Colorado, multiple occurrences. The first time I saw the lights was with my friend, it was during a lighting storm with thick clouds late at night. There's was probably about 10 different circles going with 3-6 lights each. I kept seeing it about once a month for the next 3 months. Each time getting bigger, when I would see it alone I would call my friend and see if he saw them, of course, he did. I wish I would have video taped it tho. It hasn't happened in a year give or take a couple months. I long for the day to see it again and video tape this odd occurrence, if I do happen to video tape it I will post on this wall and send a link to the video. I've even seen a huge black flying object that took up the whole sky with orange lights fly above me. Really fast, silent. It seems hard to believe but I shit you not it happened. I was with 2 of my friends and we talk about it all the time it was one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life. I want answers but I know I won't get them, it sucks, all I can do is hope it happens again and j get to tape it. Thanks for reading. I will post again next time I see something out of the ordinary.

  50. I saw those white lights too about 5 or 6 of them forming an ellipse.That was not usual as no beam of light was seen from ground, lights seemed to have originated above the clouds. It was about 8:30 pm (12/3/16), they were moving slow but after 20 or 30 minutes thes started moving faster following the same pattern. At about 9:10 pm i guess they disappeared.Location = Gurdaspur, Punjab, India.

  51. (Downtown St Louis, MO, 3/20/16 @ 8-830pm) I saw two lights in the very cloudy sky tonight. One going clockwise and one counter clockwise; both in the same path. I didn't see a beam either. I tried capturing the event on camera but from the ground it was too close to get the full circle. I thought it was strange but there must be a sane explanation for this. I didn't find the explanation here, but felt I should document the siting at least. It is still going on now but I'm not staying outside of my apartment building to watch it.

  54. I saw same type of light today (15.07.16) at 7:55 p.m. in Kolkata, India. Two orbs were moving in circular motion for sometime and chasing each other. Then they started to move in a pattern resembling'8'. Afterwards they stopped for 5 minute, then again started to move from left to right and vice versa. They were very fast. It continued till 8.30 p.m.
