It was a clear, cold early February morning when Amy Wilbur saw a flying orange orb in the sky.

Now, the only way she can describe it is by what it was not.

“It wasn’t a fiery ball, it was solid. It almost looked like the moon, but the moon was on the other side of the sky,” said Wilbur. “It couldn’t be a meteor because I’ve seen lots of those.”

Only one explanation remains as to what hovered over the tree line just off Indian Mountain Road on that winter night: an alien spacecraft.

“I tried to reason with everything else it could be,” said the 18-year-old artist.

Wilbur is not alone. Last year there were 483 reported sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects in Canada, four of those sightings came from New Brunswick, according to the web-based Canadian UFO survey which tallies sightings dating back to 1989.

The website is maintained by Manitoba resident Chris Rutkowski, one of the country’s leading UFO authorities.
