1990, Montreal aerial phenomenon [edit]

On November 7, 1990, in Montreal, Quebec, witnesses reported a round, metallic object of about 540 metres wide over the rooftop pool of the Bonaventure Hotel. Eyewitnesses saw eight to 10 lights forming into a circle above them, giving off bright white rays. The phenomenon lasted three hours, from 7 to 10 p.m., and moved slowly northwards. While no one could identify the lights, few, according to the next day’s report in La Presse, were ready to express their belief that they were visited by aliens.[3]

A few witnesses say what they saw in a televised interview on CBC:

2006, Ajax, Ontario [edit]

A UFO was photographed in Ajax, Ontario.[4]

2007, Chilliwack, British Columbia [edit]

Dave Francis and Kelly McDonald witnessed a UFO over UCFV campus in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Francis said, "I really think it was a UFO. I don’t really care if anybody else believes me ... it was the craziest thing I ever saw. Whatever it was, they were moving from place to place as a unit [and then] just faded away." McDonald said, "I know that I saw something that wasn’t from here. I’ve never seen anything move that way. It wasn’t birds. [As the UFO approached] it broke apart into 20 or more of these little spheres ... birds don’t dive-bomb in at each other."[5]

2010, Harbour Mille incident [edit]

Main article: Harbour Mille incident

During the night of January 25, 2010, witnesses in Harbour Mille, Newfoundland and Labrador reported multiple UFO sightings. A photograph taken by a resident revealed one of the UFOs to resemble a missile. An investigation by the community's police force and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is under way, though the Office of the Prime Minister has stated that the UFOS were not missiles.[6] another minor report of this incident came from Calgary where boys playing hockey reported seeing similar objects where they stated "We thought they were transformers"

Canadian UFO survey results [edit]

According to the 2002 Canadian UFO Survey published by Ufology Research of Manitoba, Toronto had the largest number of sightings with 34, followed by Vancouver with 31 and Terrace, B.C. with 25 reports.[7] In 2002, a typical UFO sighting lasted approximately 15 minutes.

The Canadian Federal Government currently (2007) directs all UFO sightings to Chris Rutkowski of Ufology Research of Manitoba.[7][8]
