U.F.O. Seen Over Ottawa

Several residents of the Ottawa area reported seeing an Unidentified
Flying Object Monday Night.

One caller to CFRA 580 said it was a large, bright, white ball of
light that travelled northeast at around 8 o'clock.

Denis Legault has been sky-watching for 27 years with the Ottawa
Valley Astronomy Group, he says the object was probably a piece of
space rock that was too large to burn up right away in the upper
atmosphere. Legault says the particles of dust and rock create a
brilliant flash of light as they ignite and disintegrate in the
lower atmosphere.

Ottawa ranks second in Canada for the number of UFOs reported each
year. Vancouver reports the most.
