Michel M. Deschamps, MUFON Ontario Provincial Section Director reports: 

A UFO flap erupted on the north shore of Lake Huron.  Several sightings took place in Blind River, Ont. (population  3,353), a town on Provincial Highway 17 about 150 kilometers (90  miles) east of Sault Sainte Marie. 
 
 

The Sudbury Star March 15, 1999. 

While driving from Elliott Lake to her home in Blind River, one  witness saw a large, ball-shaped light in the night sky, which  suddenly blinked out. The sighting took place Monday, February  22. 

Then on Friday, February 26, at around midnight, a red light  was seen hovering over some Canadian National railroad tracks  in Blind River by three witnesses in two separate vehicles. The  one in front was driven by a male witness, a carpenter, who was  heading home. The second vehicle was being driven by a woman who  was accompanied by her daughter. 

The driver of the first car pulled over to the side of the  road to get a good look at the light. He was about 30 to 40 feet  away from it, as it hovered there. Suddenly, the light started  to move, and the driver sped away. 

As the second car drove by, the two witnesses spotted the  object as it went into the clouds." They then spoke to the  carpenter, who "described it as a red pulsating light  approximately 30 inches (about 75 centimeters) in diameter. 

And more recently, on Saturday, March 13, (1999) at around 3  a.m., the same woman (witness) got up to go to the bathroom and  heard a low hum, similar to an electrical sound, which she  thought was coming from the refrigerator. When she walked out of  the bathroom, she noticed that the hum was much louder and was  coming from outside. She put on her coat and Ski-Doo boots and  went out to investigate. 

And, as she looked up, she saw a large cigar- shaped object as  it flew over her house. She said it was traveling from west to  east. It contained a large cylindrical light at the front,  followed by a smaller light at the back, like a horizontal  exclamation mark. She observed it for about ten to fifteen  seconds, then ran into the house to get her binoculars. When she  came back out, the object was further away to the east, and the  humming sound was faint. The witness said the object was lower  than a jet, but as high as a small plane. The sighting lasted  approximately five minutes.
