Project 10073 Record Card and Affidavits — Ontario, Canada, 21 May 1964

On May 21, 1964, three individuals camping on the north shore of Lake McCoy, Ontario, observed four moving lights in the eastern sky. The witnesses, including a lawyer from Cleveland, Ohio, described the lights as having a reddish-orange glow with a texture resembling a Roman candle. The objects moved in an irregular manner from south to north, with the leading light pulling ahead of the others and the rear lights appearing to converge. One witness noted that the leading light turned east upon reaching the northern sky before the objects were obscured by low clouds. The entire event lasted approximately three to four minutes and was completely silent. The witnesses noted that atmospheric conditions earlier that evening had produced rings around the moon, which they speculated might have caused visual distortion if the lights were actually aircraft. Approximately 11:15 P.M. EDT, shortly after the sighting, the witnesses observed two groups of four multi-engine jet aircraft flying directly overhead, followed by the sound of two additional flights. The Office of Special Investigations (OSI) District 5 documented the incident, noting that the sighting could potentially be attributed to aircraft distorted by atmospheric conditions, though the data was insufficient to definitively rule out other possibilities.
