Montreal Center, hi.

CargoLux Italia 93 papa kilo maintaining 350.

CargoLux 93 papa kilo heavy, Montreal Center.

Good morning.

And just curious, are you still seeing those lights?

Yeah, sometimes [unclear]. It looks like it’s more than one and a sort of circling.

Now it’s going from right to left.

So, sort of a little bit towards us.

But it’s actually a very high altitude.

So, it’s a bit weird.

Okay, so it’s above you by quite, quite a distance.

Yeah, for sure.

It’s the distance away is hard to say but we’re at 35.

So, they got, they must be at least, I don’t know, five, 50 thousand, 60 thousand or something high.

So, and they seem to be sort of a circling.

It’s [unclear].

There seems to be more than one.

And it shows certainly in a sort of brighter, bright white color.

And then it disappears again, it fades away.

So, it fades in and fades out.

All right.

Thank you very much.

Did you want to make a report on that?

I wouldn’t know what to say.

So I don’t know, if you guys don’t notice anything,

I don’t know if it’s necessary to make a report out of it though.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

I’ll pass it along just as an anonymous report.

Yeah okay, that’s fine. We’ll see what we do with it later on.

Maybe we write something or I’ll let you know.

Roger.

And CargoLux Italia 93 papa kilo, just to let you know there was a flight from the south,

northbound and descending towards Quebec City, which is off your ten o’clock by about 100 miles.

They saw the same thing roughly a half an hour ago.

Yeah, that would be the same direction as well for us.

So I guess we’re not just dreaming then, huh?

No, you’re not the first one tonight.

We have had reports in the past in this general area of significant laser

activity, but it’s usually seen from the ground and not up high.

Yeah, here it’s, it’s like you would say a satellite, but then it moves way too fast

to be a satellite.

So, it’s not of course not really fast.

It just moves at a normal pace, but for a satellite it would be too fast.

But it’s strange that it sort of fades in and out in a bright white color, like shining

the sun [unclear] shines on satellite or something.

All right.

Thank you very much for that.

I’ll write it up.

Unless it has [unclear] a light on it or something.

I don’t know.

But that seems a bit not realistic.

Okay, thanks.

CargoLux Italia 93 papa kilo.

Just curious, are those lights gone now or have they passed behind you?

No, they’re still the same direction, same altitude and distance more or less.

They’re a little bit faint now, but they sort of start moving towards each other and then

they disperse again, like three or four objects that we can see.

And they sometimes give this little mini very short flash as well.

So yeah. Weird.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

It does not appear if we are actually getting closer.

So, I’d say they must be higher or very high and very far away.

All right, I’ll make a note of it.

Thank you.
