When I first moved to the city a few years ago I was living on the top floor (17th flr.) of a high rise overlooking the river valley. One night I was awake at 3 am and went out on my balcony. It was extremely dark as in was overcast with heavy clouds that seemed only 100 feet above me. While looking to the south I noticed something gliding through the air towards me 50 feet above the building. I could barely see it against the clouds. It had no lights of any kind or propellers. It was totally silent as it went directly over my head at maybe 50 miles an hour. What ever it was flew north. It had a wingspan of maybe 16 feet and a length of 12 feet. The weird thing was there wasn't any kind of sound at all, not even the air against the wings, and the fact that it was 3 am on a very overcast night near downtown Edmonton. This was the view from my balcony.
