It was in the last week of October that some very odd things happened in the area of Hamilton harbour. In fact, everything was very different in appearance from back in the summer time. If indeed, all the lights that we were watching, were shoreline lights, it seems very odd that they would come and go, some nights a city would be there, on other nights, pitch darkness.

I became very interested in the Hamilton section of the lake. I did some searching on the Internet and this interesting little item popped up, dated back in 1994:

SIGHTING: It was a hot and muggy evening in Hamilton and for whatever reason my mother was washing the dishes in the kitchen. We have a window right over the sink that has a direct view to the Hamilton harbour. My mother noticed some strange lights floating over the harbour-front so she went upstairs to my bed room to wake me up and tell me of the sighting.

I quickly jumped off my bed and grabbed my telescope and ran off to the backyard to see if I could get a better look at the objects. The objects I saw did not look to be made up of solid mass, but rather tiny balls of orange energy; like miniature suns. They were floating and moving around ever so slowly and the odd thing is that they started to line up in strange formations like the shape of an upside down "V" for example.

I ran back inside and called up the local police department and I was put on hold for 15 minutes, then finally another different person asks me what the problem is and I report the sighting. The operator said that their phones had been ringing off the hooks about the sighting. Again I was put on hold. Finally, 10 minutes later, a man gets back on the phone and says that, "It was a search party looking for a missing boat."
