Orbs and lights in Alberta

October 15, 2026, 7:35 AM

I saw something weird in the sky this morning. I was driving to work from Alberta Beach to Winterburn in Edmonton. At the Stony Plain turnoff I noticed what I thought was a meteor falling southeast in the sky. I watched it the whole drive, and around Acheson it started going straight down. When I got to Winterburn it then turned and went straight horizontal west. When I parked at work I got a couple of my colleagues and we watched it. All the sudden a second one showed up and they started hovering around each other.
