Robust federal collection, analysis of UFO data could dispel misinformation: report

ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 17 – The Government of Canada launches a federal office to systematically study unidentified flying objects and provide official analysis on sightings across the country.

  • On July 18, 2025, Ottawa should assign a federal department or agency to manage public data on celestial sightings, setting up a service to collect testimonies, investigate cases and release analyses.
  • It notes that no 'cohesive and standardized system' for reporting and follow-up exists in Canada, highlighting the need for systematic investigation, according to the final Sky Canada Project report.
  • The report warns `Stigmatization can have significant consequences, such as discouraging witnesses from coming forward and hindering scientific inquiry`, while noting a minority of sightings remain unexplained due to a lack of reliable data.
  • The report recommends the lead organization dispel misinformation and document common misinterpretations, calling this `a significant step forward in promoting public understanding and combating misinformation`.
  • The report says the federal government should choose a trusted scientific body such as the Canadian Space Agency, drawing on the United States, France and Chile as models.
