Press Release - For Immediate Distribution
Toronto [ZNN] ZlandCommunications has
been successful in using the Canadian Access to Information Act to
obtain first-hand data from the Department of National Defence in Ottawa
indicating that Canadian NORAD CF-18 jets were scrambled to intercept ‘unknown
tracks' that had entered Canadian airspace in an unauthorized manner as
recently as 2001.
ZlandCommunications has also been successful in
obtaining Canadian government documents that indicate correspondence, internal
memos and discussions by joint intelligence committees suggesting Canadian
government officials were concerned about UFOs and were involved in discussing
attempts to keep information from the public about UFOs. Ministers of Defence
on at least two separate occasions attempted to explain government
policy and activity concerning UFOs.
One joint
intelligence committee memo suggests that plans be made should a UFO land
on Canadian territory; while another clearly states that Canada should
follow the lead of the US Air Force to keep information about UFOs from the
public.
Each of
the documents below not only describes government UFO documentation, but they
each specify actual 'incidents’ demonstrating that the UFO phenomenon has
been assessed, analyzed and sequestered at high levels
of intelligence and military authority in Canada.
[Ed.
Note: The entire 89 page AIA information document obtained by ZNN includes
air traffic controller notations on UFO reports, RCMP officers' reports,
tracking notations and citizen reports on UFOs. These are beyond the scope
of this press release however they are available upon request.]
WHAT
SPECIFICALLY HAS ZNN UNCOVERED?
ZNN has uncovered and acquired
five discrete government and NORAD documents.
Three of
these documents originate from government archives. One document
has been obtained by ZNN through the Access to
Information Act. The final document is correspondence from the Hon.
Peter MacKay former Canadian Minister of National Defence to the news director
of ZlandCommunications. (See Document E below.)
None of
the following documents require authentication - as each is original. Details
of the repository of over 9500 Canadian UFO related government files is
available upon request.
WHY IS
THIS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST BY ZNN SIGNIFICANT?
As stated
in Chapter 2 of the JANAP (Joint
Army Navy Air Force Publication) an agreement between the US and Canada, little
doubt exists that the unauthorized incursion of
unidentified flying objects into Canadian airspace is of national
security concern to both countries.
Communication
Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings (CIRVIS)
list unidentified flying objects among the
eight categories of vital intelligence to be reported.
The
Canadian documents listed below, in addition to the now de-classified NORAD
SECRET EVENT STATUS report in the possession of ZNN, indicate
the Canadian government has been and remains vitally concerned about the
unauthorized incursion of unidentified flying objects within Canadian airspace
- so much so that highly trained pilots, the expansive technical and radar
resources of NORAD, in addition to NORAD’s most sophisticated aircraft -
CF-18s - are all employed to chase and intercept unknown craft at sub-sonic
speeds at 35,000 feet with little or no reported success.
[Ed.
Note: It is note-worthy that Minister MacKay in his correspondence
to ZNN - after a less-than-thorough examination of
the facts and questions submitted to him by ZNN -
attempts to explain these event sightings to ZNN as migratory
geese or flocks of birds. ZNN is unaware of any species of
ornithoids capable of flying at 35,000 feet at over 400 to 500 mph.]
All of the above raises serious and unacknowledged questions:
All of the above raises serious and unacknowledged questions:
- What command structure is in place to authenticate and mobilize a decision to chase UFOs tracked on NORAD radar systems?
- What reporting mechanisms are in place to inform or brief elected officials on these events?
- Does the Canadian Cabinet of Ministers receive documents or briefings on this matter?
- Why is none of this national security information ever scrutinized by media or members of the Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons?
- What kind of craft are able to elude NORAD’s most sophisticated aircraft?
These
and other questions bring into sharp focus substantial historical,
on-going and covert discussions and documentation about the UFO
phenomenon among Canadian government agencies - none of which
has ever been openly addressed by bureaucrats, military officials or elected
representatives.
In this context, and in the opinion of ZNN research staff, these discussions and the available documentation are so substantive that it may represent sufficient evidence - if not proof - that:
In this context, and in the opinion of ZNN research staff, these discussions and the available documentation are so substantive that it may represent sufficient evidence - if not proof - that:
a)
Unidentified flying objects are real;
b) Both
Canada and the US have put in place mechanisms for tracking, reporting on,
and pursuing unidentified flying objects;
c) The
Canadian and American governments consider these objects as authentic;
d) No
attempt has been made by government, NORAD or Canadian Air Force officials to
inform the general public about these concerns.
Conclusion: Factual evidence exists that
the UFO phenomenon is of sufficient authenticity as to be of a real and
on-going concern to the Canadian government and its joint NORAD operations with
the USA.
The second
reason why this freedom of information request is significant is that it
represents an initial step in raising the need for a serious,
on-going and in-depth investigation into what these objects may
be and why the Canadian government and its military are so reluctant to carry
on an open dialogue within the House of Commons, with the media and with
the citizenry of Canada.
It
remains the position of ZlandCommunications that the
historical and on-going government documentation and military activity - both
domestic and international - is sufficient evidence to launch either
co-terminus or independent investigations by media and government over-sight
agencies to assess shadow-government or intell-agency(s) complicity in covert
operations that deny the public its democratic rights with respect to the
nature of the UFO issue and extraterrestrial interaction on the planet.
Finally -
this freedom of information request is significant because - as seen
in ZNN’s correspondence to then Minister of Defence the Hon.
Peter MacKay - the Minister avoided answering 9 of the 10 questions put to him
by ZNN.
This lack
of transparency surrounding a national security issue suggests that
either Canadian government officials are totally ignorant of the facts
surrounding the UFO matter or - they and the infrastructure of government
and its military have something to hide with respect to the existence of UFOs.
It
further suggests that members of the Official Opposition and leaders of other
parties in the House of Commons demand answers from both the Prime Minister of
Canada and the current Minister of Defence the Hon. Rob
Nicholson and the former Minister of Defence the Hon. Peter G. MacKay
- not only about the correspondence and documents listed below but about:
1) The
Canadian government’s position on the issue of unidentified flying
objects;
2)
NORAD’s records outlining the frequency with which Canadian jets
are scrambled to track, intercept or identify craft of unknown
origin, and;
3)
Seeking answers to the 9 other questions put to the Minister in the ZNN correspondence
to him.
To date,
the mainstream press has remained silent on this front - avoiding any
in-depth investigation - despite the evidence that
government agencies and the military take the UFO matter very
seriously.

NORAD SECRET Status Events
The following pages are part of an 89 page set of documents that
were obtained by ZNN through the AIA (Canadian Access to Information
Act). The report catalogues the scrambling of 2 CF-18s out of COMOX AFB in
British Columbia Canada in 2001 to chase three 'unknown tracks’. It should be
pointed out that during this episode - a MEDVAC (Medical Evacuation jet) was
also involved in the visual confirmation of the "unknown tracks”.
It also should be noted that large sections of these documents
have been redacted in white. Over 50% of pages one and two are redacted. Note
also that within the ATC flight transcripts obtained by ZNN multiple
time-segments of the activities performed by the CF-18’s have been redacted
under the provision of section 15(1) of the Access to Information which states the head
of a government institution may refuse to disclose information:
(a) relating to military tactics
or strategy, or relating to military exercises or operations undertaken in
preparation for hostilities or in connection with the detection, prevention or
suppression of subversive or hostile activities...

QUESTIONS PUT TO HIM BY ZNN RE: ABOVE NORAD DOCUMENTS.
These correspondence reflect exchanges between the office
of the former MoD the Hon. Peter MacKay and ZNN about his
knowledge of this incident concerning specific questions put to him by ZNN.
It should be noted that:
a) The Minister failed to respond to all 10 questions but one,
and,
b) He was unable to locate the NORAD Status Event report that
was obtained by ZNN. [The Minister’s response is shown first.
The questions from ZNN are below the Minister’s response.] https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnx6bGFuZGNvbW11bmljYXRpb25zfGd4OjdiMDhkZmM0OThjNDNmZTk
