Record made available to NORAD
Press Release
For Immediate Distribution
Toronto [ZNN] An investigator with MUFON Canada - a Canadian organization that investigates UFO sightings - has uncovered a recent Transport Canada report of a pilot sighting of a UFO.
The document in question clearly indicates a pilot reported an object categorized as a UFO. The determination as to what this object was is inconclusive - however the report does verify that the Canadian government - in this case Transport Canada, continues to monitor unauthorized incursions by unknown objects into Canadian airspace.
Several terms are used to describe UFOs by the Department of National Defence - however the term UFO remains consistent. Tracks of interest (TOI’s), Unknown Tracks and Non-Correlated Targets are frequently used by NORAD (the North American Radar Defence system) to describe unidentified objects.
In this particular incident the pilot of a Boeing 737-200 while flying over Nunavut (North West Territories of Canada) reported observing an unidentified object. Subsequently NORAD was advised.
According to Ryan Stacey Deputy Chief Investigator of MUFON Canada there is much more to this report than first meets the eye.
Stacey told ZNN: "We have known for years that Transport Canada has been using the code word “drone” as a re-classification for UFO's. It seems they have just given up, or perhaps, they thought no one was looking. I filed the AIA request on behalf of MUFON Canada to show that we are watching, we are paying attention, we know UFO's exist and we also know that they are not telling us."
As mentioned, Stacey has filed a Canadian Access to Information Request on behalf of MUFON Canada about Record #40* in an attempt to obtain answers about the status of this event. This request may add to the mounting scale of evidence that the Canadian government continues to add to the 9500 UFO files already in its possession at Library and Archives Canada.
This filing by MUFON Canada also adds to mounting evidence about how, when and where NORAD continues to scramble its CF-18 jets to intercept unidentified craft entering Canadian airspace. According to the NORAD Commander in Colorado - each year over the last five years, 1800 tracks of interest have been captured on radar with 75 intercepts.
Despite this remarkable number of incursions into Canada's airspace - no Canadian news outlet has published in depth analysis of these occurrences, nor have any sought to assign reporters to investigate reports of UFOs or to contact NORAD, Transport Canada or the Department of National Defence for their comments.
ZlandCommunications contacted Stu Bundy, MUFON Canada's National Director for his take on this matter. Bundy said, "As Canada's only civilian UFO investigative body, MUFON Canada wants to work with all government agencies to bring forward to the public the reality and importance of the UFO matter. The time to end the secrecy is now and to begin a free and open dialogue about a matter that is vital to public interest. I encourage the media to join us in this effort."
Access to Information officials in Ottawa Canada have acknowledged receipt of the MUFON request. Any significant results will be published here by ZNN.
Questions still remain about NORAD and Transport Canada's involvement in the UFO matter - what are they capturing on radar, what are these jets intercepting, why is this information not being made public and what might be the significance of Record #40?
One thing is clear - MUFON Canada is watching.
