UFOs
Over Canada
|
"…the
term 'flying saucer' was used to describe all disk-shaped
objects that
were seen flashing through the sky at fantastic speeds.
Before long, reports
were made of objects other than disks, and these were
also called flying
saucers. Today the words are popularly applied to anything
seen in the sky
that cannot be identified as a common, everyday object.
Thus
a flying saucer can be a formation of lights, a single
light, a sphere, or
any other shape; and it can be any color. Performancewise,
flying saucers
can hover, go fast or slow, go high or low, turn 90-degree
corners, or disappear
almost instantaneously.
Obviously
the term 'flying saucer' is misleading when applied to
objects of
every conceivable shape and performance. For this reason
the military prefers
the more general, if less colourful, name: unidentified
flying objects.
UFO (pronounced Yoo-foe) for short."

UFOs
are, by no means, a recent phenomena. Sightings of unusual
aerial objects go back hundreds...perhaps even thousands
of years! As proof of this, UFOs have been depicted in several
historical
works of art.
Even
the Bible
contains certain accounts which are very similar to some
of the happenings taking place today!
In
the modern age, UFOs have been witnessed around the world
by people from all walks of life, including police
officers, pilots,
fire
fighters, astronauts
and military
personnel.
UFO
sighting reports filed by witnesses such as these must be
regarded as highly reliable because good observational skills
and keen eyesight are vital to the performance of their
duties.
Still,
the ridicule
factor has kept a larger number of credible
people from reporting their experiences with UFOs.
But
here in Canada, the sightings that do get reported eventually
make their way to Chris Rutkowski, from Ufology Research,
who puts out the annual Canadian
UFO Survey.
From
the information he is gathering, the statistics seem to
indicate that UFO sightings are on an increase, from year
to year!
Thus
far, Canada is the only country in the world to produce
such a survey!
