UFOs reported through Transport Canada on March 18-19, 2024 For a few years, it has been unusual for more than one UFO report to be included in the daily Transport Canada incident reports. Over the past few days, there have been four.

  The latest AARO report on UAP has been released, and many UFO fans are panning it already, likely because it doesn't say that aliens are here.  Actually, there is some interesting detail in the report, which I will get into another time, but what I'd like to do quickly is point out that for the first time, we have a decent breakdown of the cases that are being reported to AARO. The latest AARO report includes a few pie charts, such as this one on UAP Morphologies (i.e shapes of UAP that were reported): If this looks familiar to anyone who has been viewing the annual Canadian UFO S ..read more

    “Darn that NASA! Why don’t they do what we want them to do and admit UAP are alien spacecraft?” The furore has not died down. UFO buffs are still distrustful of NASA for what it said (or didn’t say) in its UAP report released in September 2023. Never mind that it was late, or that they didn’t want to say who would be the new UAP director. Or even that by their own admission they won’t be looking at classified UAP data. What, exactly are they hiding? Actually, as I noted in my interviews on NewsNation, CTV, and CBC, it’s really not as bad as most ardent UFO fans are stating. The ..read more

One of the sources for official Canadian UFO/UAP documents has been the CADORS reports published by Transport Canada, the Canadian equivalent of the FAA in the USA. CADORS are Civilian Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System incident reports, which include a broad set of categories ranging from Bird Strikes, Runway Excursions, Medical Emergencies, Security Events, and Crew Incapacitation (don't ask).  One of the most interesting categories is: Weather balloon, meteor, rocket, CIRVIS/UFO. CIRVIS are Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings, and can refer ..read more

  The 2022 Canadian UFO Survey Overview Since 1989, Ufology Research (formerly Ufology Research of Manitoba) has solicited UFO case data from known and active investigators and researchers in Canada. The goal has been to provide data for use by researchers trying to understand this controversial phenomenon.  2022 marked the 34th year of collecting and analysing Canadian UFO report data by Ufology Research, with the total number of Canadian UFO reports in the database now more than 23,500 in total. Tables of most Canadian UFO reports included in the annual surveys from 1989 to the p ..read more

  Some Interesting UFO Sightings Reported in 2022 In 2022, out of the 768 UFO/UAP reports that were recorded or received by researchers, a small number were of objects that seemed more interesting than others. These ranged from a saucer-shaped object that hovered over a boat near Vancouver, to an arrangement of lights seen over a field in Quebec. One person submitted 37 separate reports of UFOs photographed by an infrared camera, and there were 45 incidents of interest noted by Transport Canada, including a pilot’s observation of what appeared to be a person in a “wingsuit” at an altitude ..read more

  The “Chinese Spy Balloon” of February 2023 Regarding the international incident of the observation and tracking of a Chinese reconnaissance balloon over the USA in February 2023, it can be noted that several CADORS incident reports during the past 20 years involved high altitude balloons in Canadian airspace reported by pilots. In 2022, for example, CADORS incident report 2022A0621 concerned a large balloon seen on July 5, 2022, over New Brunswick. That evening, the pilot of an American Airlines Boeing 787-8 from Chicago/O'Hare, IL (KORD) to Rome, Italy (LIRF) reported seeing “...a ..read more

One of the classic Canadian UFO cases of all time, the giant UFO seen by dozens of witnesses on the night of December 11, 1996, was described in many different ways. But the most vivid description was that by children in a family that watched it move across the sky near Carmacks, Yukon. Martin Jasek traveled throughout Yukon and interviewed more than 35 witnesses of the remarkable object, who observed it from many different locations that night. In his greatly detailed analysis of the case, he included the Carmacks observation: This group of 5 witnesses to the UFO sighting in Carmacks ..read more

  The past few weeks, there has been a rash of recent incident reports of interest that have been made public by Transport Canada. On November 11, 2022, the pilot of a commercial airliner flying from Montreal to Paris reported a drone flying uncomfortably close to his aircraft. The flight was at 9,000 ft and the crew watched as the drone flew within 200-300 ft off the left wingtip. This all took place as the airliner was approximately over Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, about 40 km east of Montreal, at 12:42 pm local time. It was noted as CADORS report 2022Q4099. Of course, a drone is not a ..read more

From the Ufology Research files: On September 8, 2002, a pilot was flying at 43,000 ft, 60 miles west of Nain, Labrador, and reported a UFO that "looked like a balloon." The object was above his plane, at an estimated altitude of 47,000 ft. Map of the area, above. The sparse report filed with the Canadian Department of National Defence had little additional information ..read more
