Amherstview ON                                                

Fall 1978 Approx. 1:45 am

"During the fall of 1978, I can't recall the date, I was with some friends drinking at a bar. We closed the bar and were heading to Bath Ontario. While travelling west on Highway #33 west of Amherstview a bright light shone into the car through the back window. The driver of the car pulled over and stopped as we thought that a police car was behind us. We looked out the rear window and saw two very bright lights in the sky. The lights were side by side about halfway up the horizon. All of a sudden the lights gained altitude very quickly and at about the height of 3/4 of the horizon the lights travelled away from each other in a north south direction. I have never seen aircraft move that quickly and I am sure that they were not any kind of airplane. When we reached the house we talked for a few minutes and didn't think that anyone would believe us, but we phoned the police anyway. The police said that the sighting had already been reported by a resident on Amherst Island. I am sorry that I don't have any more information, but it was a long time ago and at the time I wasn't really interested in UFO phenomenon. Thank you.

Our thanks to the witness for sharing this report with us.
