Credible UFO Reports Are Being Ignored, Declassified Canadian Government Documents Reveal

Just after midnight on Sept. 20, 2016, a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) squadron in Ontario received a call from Vancouver air traffic controllers about a “vital intelligence sighting.” Approximately 20 minutes earlier, an Air Canada Express pilot flying to the city reported “3 red lights 3,000 feet above him and going slower” while 25 thousand feet over an uninhabited stretch of British Columbia’s rugged north coast. 

According to declassified documents acquired by Motherboard, the RCAF reviewed radar data, but found nothing near the plane. Within an hour, reports had been faxed to the Canadian government’s transportation department and the air force’s secretive Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Division in Winnipeg. There appears to have been no further follow-up. 

“I don’t dispute they saw the strange light,” aviation consultant and former RCAF fighter pilot John ‘Jock’ Williams told Motherboard. “And it may or may not be of strange origin—who knows? But all I know is I’m not impressed with the level of investigation.”
