“Is it a comet, an aircraft, or satellite debris burning up in the atmosphere? A Winnipeg woman is asking for help to explain a mysterious object she caught on camera.”
“McLeod said she filmed the strange object Monday night between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., just as the sun set. “
Prof. Jaymie Matthews, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia, ruled out several possibilities.
"A comet that bright, that close to the Sun, visible in the twilight sky, would have been spotted by professional and amateur astronomers long before last night," ... "He added that it was also definitely not a meteor, fireball or a disintegrating space debris.”
Chris Rutkowski, director of the Winnipeg-based Ufology Research Institute, said his best guess would be a plane.
