An Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, man witnessed and took photographs September 17, 2009, of a low flying UFO overhead in Scarborough, according to a statement released by Paul Shishis.
The photographed object does not fit standard UFO descriptions of disc and triangle-shaped objects, but appeared to "morph" in shape, according to Shishis.
He said the object was 100 yards away and between 300 and 500 feet in altitude, when it appeared to "open up," and then "looked like a long sheet of some material - that was approximately 10 to 15 feet in length."
Following is the unedited statement Shishis released September 25, 2009 as a letter to "John Bro."
Hi John, I'm in shock once again man. I 'm real busy at work //-home -bummer - considering all that is happening !
Now here we go again! 3 sightings today. I can tell you - something is definately happening around me and yesterday - there were more military-looking helicopters - apparently following me as I drove home .
This morning - I was up earlier than usual - 5:20AM. I made some tea -was half asleep - and at 5:30am, I went outside to my deck . Here's the scary part, John. I thought in my mind-"show me a sign -if you're watching me."

Within seconds - above where I was looking - I witnessed- one white flash - then paused for 2-3 seconds, more rapid white flashes. Then paused another 2-3 seconds - and witnessed another single white flash.
I was in shock - I silently made a request - and then it happened, eh?? I watched in amazement - hoping for any other flashes - or signs of running lights.
Later I was at work in Scarborough - and I stepped outside - just before 1:00pm. I looked up - and saw a strange large, black object - heading directly towards me. I then pulled my camera from my pocket and start filming.

Immediately, I was able to record the apparently morphing object - as it was approaching from the east. It was only about 100 yards away - at a height of between 300-500 ft. I was hoping for a witness - and then 3 miraculously just showed up!
Then the object appeared to 'open-up' - and it looked like a long sheet of some material - that was approximately 10 to 15 feet in length. I will send all of the photos of this bizarre thing - and you can decide for yourself. I then got into my car and went driving off in the direction that it was traveling; -north / northeast. I proceeded to drive through a maze of industrial streets - and saw nothing.
After a few minutes - I decided to head back for lunch. Immediately, I was startled to see that - approximately 500 yds away - there it was again. I then saw a brilliant, white object - hovering to the north of me. This one appeared to be about a quater- mile away - and maybe a half mile in altitude. I then took some more pictures and a video clip.
I have tried to photograph the white stationary ones in the past - but they never seem to show up in my photos. I have seen what looks like a red light or "aura" around others - and haven't been able to image them. But today I was able to. Maybe it was due to the closeness / proximity - but I got much better detail in the pictures-you be the judge.
You are the first person to whom I'm sending all information. I will send as many as I can. Thanks again for your interest.
Paul Shishis.

Another great report that you are bringing out to a wider audience. I have read your column for some time and until now have not commented, but I shall finally say that you are a shining example of journalism in Ufology. I may be somewhat critical of some of your peers, but in my opinion you are a class act.
Keep up the good work Mr. Marsh.
I agree with the journalistic part of this believers experience. I am not going to put a stink on what you present as evidence. I believe orbs are undeniably a remarkable thing to witness. Your personal relation with these incidents I've seen as something I am impartial to. Karma, coincedance, mental telepathy..who knows? I was not there. It must have been wierd for you though. I do have to say the first image has a higher percentage of being a semi filled poly balloon. The words that seem to show at an angle of its folds kinda did it for me. But I am only one set of eyes. I do hope to see your video in the future, maybe I am not seeing something. My mind is not closed off to more proof.
Thanks for the kind words Instant Karma. I try to cover UFO reports as they happen, but before they are investigated, so you have to consider it all raw material - but something I think is worthy of reading.
"then took some more pictures and a video clip."
So where's the video clip?
I second that Instant Karma!!!
Very interesting pix Paul. I too seem able to see them
when I want, white and silver orbs that is...
I have to say, just looking at the enlargement, this looks like a common trash bag. The smaller white object seems to be the lightweight smaller bag you're given at places like Rite Aid or some grocer's. Until there's definitive evidence of uncharacteristic movement and then comparisions of debris in thermal winds - one has to place this squarely in the blowing debris folder.
In stead of assuming everyone but UFO investigators are idiots and do not have a grasp of reality, we should look and listen. In the image of the morphing UFO, it indeed looks like mylar and trash bag, but we are seeing one of several modalities the observer recounts. I do not think such mundane material can change shape to a sheet, and have studied dimensional physics enough to know that if these craft use a dimensional shifting component, or indeed is from a neighboring dimension where form and shape do not exactly relate in our dimension, local shifts can occur due to relationships with terrestrial components like sunlight, proximity of the viewer or other such anomalous unknown effects and relationships.
I myself have filmed such morphing objects and know how frustrating it is for our linear thinking and hard-stable-reality demanding awareness is. Our perceptions must however be augmented with higher levels of thinking before we dismiss such seeming straw-grasping identification

All well and good... except I can read the word "Discovery" on the side just below the Discovery channel logo all within a map of the earth picture. So...
A famous UFO investigator once said that about 90% of all sightings are explainable objects/occurrences. I know Advance life forms and their craft are of course real, and I also know that 90% of what we see are explainable. These two pictures to me do in fact clearly show trash bags! One white and one Black, blowing in the wind. Does that mean someone elses pictures of something similar are not 'real' ? Nope, but these are trash bags to me.
Was open to maybe....until he mentioned the helicopters following him home all week.
Then he became just another WACKO.
I know how he feels. I have helicopters flying around my house all the time. Yes I live near a Military base but that's irrelevant.
Glad to see that lathropwells understands UFO 101 .UFO-U-Find-Out lathropwells. If you earn to learn,to teach each in study.You can further yourself study/research to the next level>>> UFO- 102.Human military response of a non human presence in a given area.Do your homework lathropwells -if that in truth is your name.There are 1000's of cases about Abductees/Contactees worldwide Remember>> Unused knowledge is Ignorance -wake up kid *~* Peace be with you PMS
Looks like a fisherman's hat with writing on it on top of a piece of trash.
Yeah this guy seems to think he has a mental connection with aliens.
CRAZO!
In reply to IMHOTEP: You know, it's hardly uncommon for paranormal experiences either with or without strong evidence to have a mental/spiritual element. I guess that must seem strange for people who aren't used to it. But for a someone who actively practices religion or the occult, that aspect seems as mundane as gravity.
Indeed this is Dickeido's fault
ONORE DICKEIDO?
Pure woo, plain and simple.
looks like a trash bag lol
Yeah, you can clearly read 'Discovery Channel' on the object. People like this take away from the more credible sightings. This guy needs to step away from the crack pipe.
Just a floating trash bag. No big deal..
Looks like 2 plastic bags in the lower 2 photos, and the top photo is a fishing hat on a Mr. Potato Head...lol
A year later I finally see the hat and Mr. Potato Head! Thanks.
are you serious?!? lol..why would you even bother putting up such non descript pictures with no background reference? Are we suppose to believe that a mutilated plastic object is indicative of alien visitation? As if in 1 million years we too will advance technologically to the point where we to will be able to fly a metalic piece of twisted and mutilated metal? Or better yet?! A piece of plastic shyt!! lmao!!
That isn't a UFO. It looks like a hat with a face mask pulled out. You can see writing on the hat.
it's a kite , haha
Hefty... Hefty... Hefty... Wimpy...Wimpy...Wimpy...
Hey, I'm a believer and I never like to miss an opportunity to tell about an incident that happened for a friend and I as we were driving through the mountains of North Carolina years ago. Well my friend and I were driving, I was driving a 1992 Isuzu Q-16 pickup truck. We saw these "gold sparks" going across the sky from west to east. Well I can't remember if he called my attention to it or if we saw it together or if the thing itself just didn't somehow call both our attention to it. But I looked and at first I thought it was some kind of fireworks. But no. As I was watching it while driving, the gold sparks stopped and a black disc shot up into space at an astronomical rate of speed from where the gold sparks stopped, at this sort of one oclock angle. I knew I had seen a UFO. Now no, we didn't see any aliens so I can't assume this wasn't something that the USAF didn't build, but my God it was fast. I couldn't believe anything manmade would go up into space that fast.
Balloon definitely
Balloon
I am telling you people right now, I know what this thing really is!
It's none other than The Smog Monster from the Godzilla movies!
Because of of global pollution and global warming, the smog monster has come to make tasty snacks of us all!
If you remember, the smog monster could shape shift and fed off of the pollution from factories.
I am going to my underground bunker now where I can watch the destruction from the safety of my concrete walled room, which has a door made from several layers of steel and titanium.
Although I cannot say if that will be enough to save me from the smog monsters acid vomit!
AAAaaaaahhhh!!!
He squished his pack of players light cigarettes and took a pic of them as he threw them away..........lol.
So far the comments seem to come from a lot of kids trying to outdo each other in the smart remarks department.
Mostly I am noticing the Examiner suddenly showing up in the news carrying stories usually reserved for the alternative sites I have read for years. Nice to see you guys getting your first whiff of fresh coffee. About time. Thanks
If I were a UFO - I would make it a point to look like something very mundane; or be invisible. Question: Which is more likely - Humans being the ultimate beings in the universe / basically; Gods ? Or something so far beyond us -- that not believing - makes us the Wackos??
I don't know if this guy is right; or not. But I applaud his enthusiasm; and honor his right to share his beliefs - without bashing him; be him 'right' or 'wrong.' One day... something strange will be real. I continue to look and learn.
Humans are easy to fool. All it would take would be to look like something mundane. Then be certain that all related materials are met with ridicule.
wow- nice story about helicopters and stuff- so wheres the video of the shapeshifting trashbag
("I looked up - and saw a strange large, black object - heading directly towards me. I then pulled my camera from my pocket and start filming. ")
Oh good grief, no one was born yesterday! This sort of cruddy excuse for UFO's give the real deal a bad name.
Twit!
Guess you have to learn to click on links, young'en.
'The Real Deal' of UFOs?? What would that be??
a UFO is correctly defined as an OBJECT; that is up in the sky; lacking an exact indentification. Guessing is not enough. It is harder to 'prove' something doesn't exist than to prove that it does. At least the guy is trying. @#$% off!
'Gives the real deal a bad name' hahahahahahah!!
A flying ribbed condom.
If you ask me it looks like it says obama like one of those presidential voting signs on top of ballons in a bag.. Flying trash
A different form of life.
Give me a break! The top photo is a head shot of Paul Shishis wearing a blue and white fishing hat from an amusement park with green alligators on the sides! Enlarge the photo and look!
It looks like it has print/writing/Logo on it. You can see there is wording. It is probably signage that got loose and fluttered away.
You really got me! You really got me! Oh no!
It's one of those advert blimps you see tethered along the road. This one broke free and is somewhat deflated. Someone just lost about a 3K investment!
looks like a pop up tent with a beer logo on it
NO S__T!!! (meaning: I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH BILL B. ABOVE!)
"So far the comments seem to come from a lot of kids trying to outdo each other in the smart remarks department."
I know NOTHING about UFO pics and authenticity OR balloons, OR military craft......I DO KNOW more than I want about Extraterrestrials (probably NOT how to spell them, though!)...
and have had many experiences...SO! WHETHER THIS MAN IS "right" or Truthful or what........mind your own danged business if all you can do is SHOW THE ____ OFF!!! THAT IS WHAT YOU"RE DOING!!!!!admit it! and you ain't that clever, either...it got old on the first page...didn't bother with going on to the second page of comments....why not find a chatroom for smartasses or video games instead of gunk this site up with your "humorous" almost hatefulness!....this sorto of site...DUH!!! Is for people who WANT to know about and "TALK" about UFOs........
it a waste plastic in the air and has white plastic inside..change form with wind
