The RCMP, thinking a plane had crashed, organized a rescue effort, but were unable to recover an object. Eyewitnesses claimed they watched as a large, orange-glowing object sank into the water. The incident was commemorated by a glow-in-the-dark coin released by the Canadian Mint in 2018.ĭuring the same year as the Falcon Lake sighting, people reported that the night skies over Shag Harbour were glowing with four lights that flashed off and on before crashing into the harbour. Michalak said that he became ill in the following weeks, and a photograph of his chest eight months later showed burn marks in a pattern of dots. He claimed that one of the aircraft hovered only 45 metres away from him, landed and, as he approached, emitted a beam of light that knocked him to the ground as it lifted off. In May 1967, Stefan Michalak reported seeing two flying saucers near Falcon Lake. Here are a few of Canada’s most famous UFO sightings: “There’s no incontrovertible evidence that aliens are visiting us, although it’s a wonderful theory,” Rutkowski told The Canadian Press, but adds that “there is a real phenomenon I think is worth scientific study.” Still, about eight per cent of all UFO reports in 2017 remain unexplained - but this doesn’t mean that they are proof of alien visitation.

What’s more, the majority of sightings can be explained as aircraft and other astronomical objects. The report notes that while an increasing number of cellphones, dashcams and traffic cameras means that reported sightings are more frequently accompanied by a photo or video, these visuals are often of poor quality and less useful to researchers. They also compared the shape of the objects. In its final report, Ufology Research broke down cases by the number of witnesses, the level of “strangeness” (an alien encounter being more unusual than flashing lights, for example), the reliability of the sighting and its duration. Out of the major metropolitan areas the country, Montreal and Toronto topped the list. Most sighting reports in 2017 came from Quebec (518) and Ontario (241), with B.C. Many witnesses were police officers, pilots and other people with keen observational skills. The survey also showed that there was an average of two witnesses per UFO sighting and that the sightings lasted about 15 minutes each. Their 2017 survey showed that a total of 1,101 sightings were reported across the country, at a rate of roughly three per day - the fifth highest number since the group began collecting data in 1989. Ufology Research, an organization Rutkowski belongs to, has collected and analyzed Canadian UFO report data since 1989. “There are about 1,000 UFO reports filed in Canada every year, and the number remains high.” Rutkowski says that UFO sightings in Canada are more common than we think. “It was unlike anything I’d ever seen.”Īnother CBC documentary, UFO Town, tells the story of strange sightings near Ottawa in the 1980's. “It just did a 90-degree turn and went straight up and just disappeared,” she recalls.

Taylor, who became obsessed with space travel, left a note telling his family he could communicate with extraterrestrials and was going on an interstellar journey - and then vanished.īut Taylor wasn’t only one who reported a strange encounter in Duncan. He recently travelled to Duncan, B.C., a small town on Vancouver Island that was home to Granger Taylor, whose story is told in CBC Docs POV documentary, Spaceman. Acclaimed Canadian ufologist Christopher Rutkowski can be best described as Canada’s Fox Mulder.
