On March 22nd 1997, I went to the north shore of Lake Ontario with two friends. We saw some strange golden lights over the water, at an elevation of 10 degrees or less. They were spherical in shape, and deep golden- to- amber in colour.

We called them "ORBS."

Just prior to our sightings over Lake Ontario, there had been multiple sightings of anomalous lights over the city of Phoenix and the surrounding area of Arizona. These had also, at times, been referred to as "orbs" and could well have been a similar type of "event" to those over Lake Ontario.

A short while later, as our observation group grew in size, and, in its frequency of visits to the lake shore, we called ourselves "ORBWATCH."
