Main article: Shag Harbour incident

The incident was the purported crash of an Unidentified Flying Object in Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia in October 1967.

1969, Prince George, B.C. UFO

In Prince George, British Columbia, three unrelated witnesses reported a strange, round object in the late afternoon sky on January 1, 1969. The sphere radiated a yellow-orange light and appeared to ascend from 2,000 to 10,000 feet.[1]

1975-1976, Southern Manitoba

Main article: Charlie Redstar

Several sightings were reported of a red glowing UFO, sometimes described as "mischievous" or "playful", sighted in Southern Manitoba in 1975 and 1976.[2]

1978 Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador

In October 1978 Constable Jim Blackwood of the RCMP witnessed a sighting of a flying saucer hovering over the harbour near the town of Clarenville and Random Island. This was reported to him by local citizens. When he arrived at the scene the UFO was still present and quite visible. He had a special high powered viewing scope which happened to be on loan at the time for other surveillance. The craft stayed in the area for approximately an hour and a half. When he switched on the roof lights of his police cruiser the craft appeared to mimic the flashing lights. This made headline news at the time and was broadcast on CBC television and NTV broadcasting in Newfoundland. The craft took off like a shooting star high in the sky and disappeared.[citation needed]

1990, Montreal aerial phenomenon

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 8 to 10 lights forming into a circle above them, emitting bright white rays. The phenomenon lasted three hours, from 7 to 10 p.m., and moved slowly northwards. While none could identify the lights, a few witnesses, according to the next day’s report in La Presse, were ready to express their belief that they were visited by aliens.[4]

A few witnesses say what they saw in a televised interview on CBC.[5]

2006, Ajax, Ontario

A UFO was photographed in Ajax, Ontario.[6]

2007, Chilliwack, British Columbia

2010, Harbour Mille incident

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.[7] Another minor report of this incident came from Calgary where boys playing hockey reported seeing similar objects, about which they stated "We thought they were transformers"[citation needed]

Lindsay May was seen flying across the sky in Ajax Ontario on Feb 14th 2014, nobody knows her current position but are informing the public to keep their eyes open and hide in door ways in case she crash lands into your house.

Canadian UFO survey results

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.[8] 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.[8][9]
