Hawcs. It's a far quieter helicopter than you expect, and the light might make sense?

Have you had your eyes checked lately? Maybe CP's resident eye doctor, Hes, can do it for you?

Seems crazy, with the hovering and all, but it would certainly look different than any airplanes we normally see around here/around now. Something moving slowly towards or away from you might look like it's hovering.
The one that was here has a red tail and wing tips, and it is shiny.

Oh sure, so aliens are fine, but a time travelling B-17 is out of the realm of possibility?

Need the Avgeeks, but my guess would be a plane heading directly at you, banking to its left to adjust course, then banking back right to head directly at you again. This would give the illusion of it standing still, then moving in a straight line to the right, then standing still again. Since you were looking west the light was likely just the setting sun perfectly reflecting off the bottom.

It was a UFO. They ran out of gas and needed a ride to the gas station.

But who was piloting the plane?
I'm thinking Bigfoot or Cthulu.

Your butt isn't sore this morning is it? Did you lose any time? Did you wake up with an alien looking dollar bill stapled to your shirt?

Well if the object wasn't carrying a transponder ATC radar at best would have only got a hit on a primary target with no altitude/speed information. This primary radar (unless things have changed) is the "Golf Ball" located just NE of YYC. In cases like this a controller may issue an advisory to a flight nearby so they can look for it.

Dave: Well, I mean, we travel 250,000 light years across the universe, abduct humans, probe them anally and release them.
Kevin: Yeah... AND?
Dave: Well, doesn't it seem kind of point-LESS?
Kevin: I really don't think about it.
Dave: Well don't you think you should?
Kevin: No, I don't think I should. I don't think I should question the leadership of our Great Leader
Dave: Oh, come on! I mean, we've been coming here for 50 years and performing anal probes and all that we have learned is that 1 in10 doesn't really seem to mind.
Kevin: Well, do you have a better plan than our Great Leader?
Dave: Yes I do, I do have a better plan. My plan is that we DON'T travel 250,000 light years, we DON'T abduct any humans and, this is the best part, we DON'T do any anal probing.
Kevin: [sarcastic] Oh, great plan! Do you realize how many people Intergalactic Anal-Probing employees?
[They see that the next victim is ready. They put down the coffee and do the same motions as before, except Dave is very reluctant this time.]
Kevin: Well back to work.
Dave: Awww..
Kevin: Ready the anal probe.
Dave: [unenthusiastic]Anal probe is ready.
Kevin: Commence anal probing
Dave:[rolling eyes, exasperated] Couldn't we at least abduct their political or religious leaders instead of just any idiot in a pickup truck?!?!
Kevin: I'm sure the Great Leader has his reasons
Dave: [sarcastic] Well, I'm sure the Great Leader is just some sort of twisted ass freak!

I saw a ufo today. And a raven. Got a picture of both....
I didn't know I got the pic until just now. I'm not sure if it will show up too well. But it's a oddly shaped thing in the clouds above the bird. Right after I took it I saw a streak across the sky and heard a whoosh. Damn aliens.

Graeme Willy: You are an alien!
Paul: To you I am, yes.
Graeme Willy: Are you gonna probe us?
Paul: *Why* does everyone always assume that? What am I doing? Am I harvesting farts? How much can I learn from an ass?
