Niagara Ufo Mystery Is Solved
"The Standard"
PORT COLBORNE - Was it a UFO or a hot air balloon?
Actually, it was just a stray balloon from a Saturday night wedding reception.
A representative from Sherkston Shores said a couple was celebrating their wedding at the beach that evening.
"The whole theme was around the Make a Wish Foundation," said the Sherkston employee, who declined to be identified.
During that celebration, the revelers released lighted helium balloons into the air above the popular resort.
"That was part of the whole wish. They lit them and they went up," the woman said.
But when campers at the park saw the spectacle that evening, someone called 9-1-1 to report a UFO, she added.
"They just assumed - I don't know what they assumed," she said.
Port Colborne Fire Prevention Officer Mike Bendia said there were several calls to 9-1-1 that night, reporting something unusual over Lake Erie.
While some callers might have reported seeing UFOs, he said the call firefighters responded to was a little more realistic.
