The night of Sunday, October 6, 1996, a motorist driving on Route 417 near Embrun, Quebec saw "a ball of light gleaming in the sky the size of two full moons. The colors were changing from orange to pink." The UFO flew parallel to the highway at an altitude of 300 feet (95 meters). Just after 1 a.m., the UFO crossed Route 417 ahead of the driver and flew away to the south, where it vanished.
On Saturday, October 19, 1996 at 11:45 p.m., Al Martinez, an engineer at Laval University, was at home on Highway 132, on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River, about six miles (8 kilometers) southwest of Quebec City. Suddenly, Martinez noticed "a very strange and unusual flying wing (hovering) over his backyard." A few moments later, a dazzlingly bright beam enveloped his house, and the building began to vibrate.
A few houses away, a neighbor coming home from work saw the UFO hovering over the Martinez home. Hearing the rumbling noise, he and two other neighbors joined the stunned and shaken Martinez in the yard, watching as the UFO flew away.
On Thursday, October 31, 1996, at 3:30 p.m., a man in Canada's capital city of Ottawa looked at the sky and "watched a strange glowing ball dart downwards."
