Shrouded in mystery, unidentified flying objects have been reported in every corner of Canada. Surprisingly, some of these seemingly far-fetched stories may be based in fact, while others will never be explained:

• Residents of Harbour Mille on the island of Newfoundland spent a cold January night in 2010 trying to photograph grey, missileshaped objects flying overhead
• Crop circles near St. Francis Xavier, Manitoba, made for a great front-page photo in the Winnipeg Sun in 1990, the day after summer residents of White Lake noticed a circular object with blinking red lights hovering over the water
• In 1952, the Defence Research Chemical Laboratory (DRCL) and the Defence Research Electronics Laboratory (DREL) established a research facility at Shirley’s Bay, Ontario, that was fully equipped as the world’s first UFO station
• The “Shag Harbour Incident” remains a mystery, although residents are convinced that the dark craft with four white lights that they witnessed crashing into the water in October 1967, was definitely a UFO
• Two teenagers canoodling under the stars near MacGregor,Manitoba, in 1970 reported a seeing a glowing craft in a farmer’s field; the occupants of the craft were small silver men
• After a strange encounter with two flying saucers near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, in May 1967, amateur geologist and prospector Stefan Michalak was left with a headache, nausea and grid-like burns on his chest
• On New Year’s Day 1969, authorities in Prince George, BC, received three separate reports of a yellow-orange sphere flitting across the afternoon sky.
And so many more tales of the unexplained…
