Kensington
A Prince Edward Island man filmed about 22 minutes of unusual lights over the Gulf of St. Lawrence while putting out a bonfire; MUFON later called it a confirmed sighting, and CBC published conventional explanations.
The record
The 22-minute recording is long enough to be checked frame by frame, which is rarer and more useful than most videos, and it attracted both a civilian determination and a broadcast debunking in the same week.
The disagreement between "confirmed" and "conventional explanations" is the honest state of the record, and the site leaves it standing rather than picking a side.
Thin sourcing — verify before citing
This case is included because gaps are worse than thin records, but the sourcing is partial. Do not build on it without reading the original file.
