This happened in Pickering (Ontario) na farm:

Being a thirteen year old young man, I went out early Sunny and clear summer morning with a rifle of the father, to hit the targets and headed to the barn.

From the northeast, slowly and slowly moved across the sky, turning (I guess it can be called tumbling) cylindrical object about 2000 feet in the air. It was like a gigantic, shiny chrome tin can, and when she slowly fell down, I could see that the flat bottom and top were identical and seemed to have metallic scratches or Matt chrome pattern in the shape of circles, while the hand was transparent, reflective chrome. There was no sound, no light, no Windows, it was solid metal.

To clarify what I saw there. I was going to go target shooting, my first thought in those split seconds was that someone threw in the sky a tin can so I could shoot. I quickly realized that this is not a tin, and I realized that it would be ridiculous of me to shoot her.

I just stood and watched 2 minutes as the object crossed the farmer's field. I could see his shadow in the field when he passed, and I watched as he slowly disappeared on the horizon for many miles.

Years later, I raised a family, ran a business and never thought about this event until I happened to take a book from the library called "UFO Report" or something like that and flip through it. There I saw some drawings which looked certainly very similar, perhaps even identical, to the bottoms of that "tin cans".

The article talks about crop circles and things I've never heard of, but I was curious. Sorry for my ignorance on these issues. Of course, I remember to this day, and, incredible as it may sound, I even tried some rudimentary experiments to see if I could recreate such a thing in his basement, using electrical magnets and the beam of light.

Original news

On a farm, as a thirteen year old youngman, I went out early on a sunny and clear summer morning with my father’s 22 rifle to do some target shooting, heading to the barn. Above, from the north east, moving slowly and leisurely across the sky, turning end over end, I suppose one could call it tumbling, was a cylindrical object aprroximately 2000 feet in the air. It looked like a gigantic, shiny chrome tin can, and as it slowly tumbled, I could see the flat bottom and top were identical and seemed to have metallic scratches or brushed chrome designs shaped in circles while the sides were clear reflective chrome. There was no sound, no lights, no windows, it was solid metal. To clarify what I was seeing, there I was about to go target shooting, my first split-second thought was that someone had thrown up a tin can into the sky for me to shoot at. I quickly realized that was no tin can and I understood it would be ludicrous of me to shoot at it. I just stood and watched 2 minutes as it crossed the farm fields, I could see it’s shadow in the field as it passed and I watched it slowly disappear into the horizon miles away. Years wemt by, I raised a family, ran a business and never really thought about that event until I happened to take a book from the library called “UFO Report” or something like that and flipping though it, I saw some drawings which looked certainly very similar, perhaps even identical, to the bottoms of that “tin can”. Reading up on it, the article talked about crop circles and things I’ve never heard of but I wondered if the ends of that object, were electromechanically pulling, one end pulling the other on an on-off sequence, causing it to slowly tumble in the end-over-end manner I described. Pardon my ignorance on these matters. Of course I remember it to this day and as improbable as it sounds, I’ve even tried some rudimentary experiments to see if I could recreate such a thing in my basement utilizing electical magnets and a beam of light.
