Canada's preeminent ufologist has seen an uptick in reported sightings of unidentified flying objects in recent days suggesting more Canadians are turning their eyes to the sky after U.S. fighter jets shot down three separate objects over the weekend.
Chris Rutkowski, with Ufology Research in Winnipeg, has been collecting and analyzing Canadian data on unidentified flying objects, or unidentified aerial phenomena as it's more recently been referred to as, for nearly 35 years.
Ufology Research's latest study released earlier this month suggests there were 768 UFO sightings in the country last year — a slight increase of about six per cent from the previous year. Rutkowski found one person in Quebec reported nearly 40 separate sightings, which accounted for the higher number. The number of reported sightings in Canada last year was the fourth-lowest over the past 20 years.
"When a person reports seeing a UFO, whether you're a pilot or just an average person on the street, you may be seeing something that is quite significant and potentially of value to researchers," he added. Government officials on both sides of the border have stated there is no indication the objects were the work of aliens or "extraterrestrial activity."
Ufology Research's study found in 2022 about eight per cent of all UFO reports were classified as unexplained while 14 per cent were explained — meaning researchers determined the sightings were a known object such as a Chinese Lantern, a photographic defect, satellite or astronomical object. Another 44 per cent matched the description of a conventional object and therefore had a probable explanation, while 34 per cent of the sightings lacked sufficient evidence to make a determination.
