That shape seems to be implied to be a ‘circle’ or ‘sphere’, although I can imagine a Triangle or Square object being equally scary. “residents, including this CBC reporter, reported seeing a large, white shape slowly move across the horizon before disappearing from view.” Actually, now it just sounds like they’re talking about a cloud…

So... a lonely cloud just after sunset? This is always the coolest thing to see when the sun under the horizon illuminates things at high altitude. It happens a lot with rocket launches like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K_zd8YAUYDY/hqdefault.jpg

Sunrise/sunset. Cloud is still in sunlight. Not a ufo. Just an interesting cloud getting a moment in the spotlight.
