The UFO Phenomenon

Canadian UFO sightings on the rise

Sightings of unidentified flying objects hit close to an all time high in Canada last year.
A new report released on Tuesday indicated 986 sightings across Canada in 2011, Ontario saw the most sightings with 406 reports. Specific cases range from a grey, disc-shaped object south of Winnipeg to a 'grapefruit' shaped object witnessed in Ontario. One report even detailed sightings of strange luminous 'creatures' but this has yet to be investigated.

"Ontario is getting more of the share of the UFO reports every year," said the National Ufology group's director Chris Rutkowski. "There used to be an emphasis on the west, in some of our earlier reports, but now it seems to be distributed a little better."
More than half of all the UFO sightings in Canada last year were of simple lights in the sky, the study notes. Witnesses also reported point sources of light, spheres and boomerangs. But about 11% of all the reports couldn’t be explained.

Thanks for the news Saru ! Most of us here in the U.S. Love our Du-Canadian Buddies ! Me for one ! The trend seems to be growing in the last year. Its always amazeing to me that they run in cycles like this. The copy cat ,ect gang reporting seems to never change. I just cant wait until someone gets a really good quality photo ,video of a mile or two wide starship in low orbit ! and then follow it up with the exact ship say at two or three thousand feet msl. That would be a view to see ! Would bring back images of District 9 movie wouldnt it ? Well Until then ! Keep Looking Up ! justDONTEATUS.

Seeing a clear picture of a mile wide object, in focus, would take away all doubts. Providing it stood up to detection of hoaxes, after all Hollywood makes great looking alien spacecraft. I tend to think that people are seeing something in the sky, the mass sightings are tough to ignore. I lean more towards unidentified aircraft, objects, or unique atmospheric conditions. Alien spacecraft traveling unimaginable distances across the galaxy would be highly unlikely to use "running lights" while in earths atmosphere, especially if they are here maliciously.
