Full Description of Event/Sighting: It was an early morning. I awoke at 3:45am, Monday, May 26 with no possibility of going back to sleep. I decided to head to Starbucks at Thickson and 401/Consumers Rd and wait for the 6:00am opening. I arrived at about 5:35am. I was parked facing north on the west side of the store's front parking lane. It was a cool morning so I decided to sit in the warmth of my car, seat reclined, eyes closed, listening to morning radio. The morning sky was clear with strong winds kicking up in the wake of the sunrise. At about 5:40 I opened my eyes briefly and saw an object in the sky through the windshield. It came into view from the west side of the Starbucks store. I saw the object for about 5 seconds and got a very odd feeling about what I was looking at because it did not appear conventional.

I jumped out of the car to get a clearer and closer view. The object appeared about half a mile away to the north and I measured it like it was flying beside an office tower, so approx: 35 stories or 350-400 feet high. It was square shaped and yet was rounded at the corners, so square but not so square. Trying to rationalize the object, I thought it was one of those advertising balloons that may have broken free from a retail store. Instinctively, I knew from that distance that it was too big to be an ad balloon. As I watched it move, I realized it was heading in a semi-circular direction. So yes it was in a controlled turn moving from south/south west direction and veering west.

For the entire time I observed the object, it did not appear to be jostled or tossed around by the strong morning winds...like a balloon might be. As the object moved out of it's turn, it headed straight out in a westerly direction, neither gaining or losing altitude. Not only was it's directional line constant, but so was it's speed...odd for those weather conditions. The object proceeded in it's path for about an eye squinting minute, until it was completely out of view.
