Research and Investigation into Anomalous Light Phenomena
on and over Lake Ontario, Ontario, Canada



HISTORY

Why "ORBWATCH?"

"ORB" noun. Sphere, globe. (Oxford Dictionary.)

On March 22nd 1997 three of us went to the north shore of Lake Ontario with two friends. We saw some strange golden lights over the water, at an elevation of about 10 degrees or less. They were spherical in shape, and deep golden-to-amber in colour so we called them orbs. These in no way resemble the see-through "orbs" that many people capture on camera.

Just prior to our sightings over Lake Ontario there had been multiple sightings of anomalous lights over the city of Phoenix and the surrounding area of Arizona. These had also, at times, been referred to as "orbs" and could well have been a similar type of "event" to those over Lake Ontario.
