PRESENT: JJ and DM SET UP: 18.45 hrs. E.S.T. WEATHER CONDITIONS:   Very calm, small ripples on the water.  Virtually no breeze. Stars clear. Mild at 5 degrees Celsius. VISIBILITY: Clear along the shore line and out over open water. arrived at our designated location at 18.45 hrs.  E.S.T.  This location gives us a height of 20 feet above the water's surface, with an actual horizon of 5.1 Nautical, or 5.9 Statute Miles. The temperature was mild enough to not even need gloves.  I set up the camera, having surveyed the horizon for any "anomalies."   There were several "clumps" of lights directly out (in South East direction) from where I was standing, which had not been there on Sunday night.  ( The far shoreline, at this point, is approximately 28 Statute Miles from our location, and only the plume of Niagara Falls, and the top of the high tower at Niagara are visible on a clear day.) These "lights" comprise small groups which appear to blink or "sequence," and this sequencing appears to increase in speed when an ORB is in close proximity. DM arrived at 19.00 hrs.  with astronomical binoculars.  There was NO SIGN of the LIGHT PILLAR.  This would indicate that, based on past experience, there was unlikely to be much ORB activity. REPORT FROM NOTES: ORB appeared in the DARK AREA (the area of horizon east of the St. Catharines/Niagara illumination) at 19.17 hrs.  at approximately 10 degrees elevation.  It was seemingly coming towards us and then turned west, increasing in altitude to approximately 17 degrees elevation.  It continued heading west and climbed in altitude again, reaching approx.  20 degrees. The ORB then levelled off, turned east and lost some altitude.  It then gradually descended, turned around one more time, heading west, and constantly losing altitude.  The ORB continued west, remaining at same luminosity, and turned towards the east.  The ORB was now down as low as about 2 degrees elevation.  The ORB brightened up considerably at this time.  It then continued heading east, further into the DARK AREA. It passed "BIG RED," which is the name we have given to a "beacon" which intermittently appears, and seems to be related to ORB activity. After passing BIG RED, the ORB seemingly disappeared.  Duration of sighting:  approximately 10 minutes.  A second ORB appeared in the DARK AREA at 20.14 hrs.  at approximately 8 degrees elevation, but closer to St Catharines than the previous event. The ORB came towards us and turned east, descending to about 5 degrees.  It then turned around and travelled in a westerly direction, gradually lowering, became fainter and seemingly disappeared.  Duration of sighting: approximately 4 minutes.  There was no further activity, although the groups of "lights" on the horizon continued to blink or sequence, as we had noticed them doing last year. Pack up time: 21.15 hrs. JJ
