| Ontario, Canada Sighting For what it's worth, in the Fall of 1971 I had an intense encounter in Ontario, Canada about 75 miles from anywhere. We were on a road that had about a 150 mile stretch between major towns (a couple of really small towns were here and there, but they were really far apart). It was an incredibly clear night, no moon, no lights from civilization to disrupt the view. We were bored. There were four of us in the car. My husband of the time was driving, I was sitting in the middle and our friend Yvonne was sitting beside the passenger window. Our friend Darryl was laying in the back seat taking a nap. Since Yvonne was bored, she was watching the sky. She saw two objects that were quite bright and seemed to be chasing each other. She pointed them out. All of us started to watch these objects (we woke up Darryl in the back seat). There were clearly disc shaped and made no discernible sound. It was like they were playing tag or having a dog fight. They did impossible things. I saw one go forward incredibly fast, stop instantaneously, and then back up going as fast as it had gone forward. I saw the other one make a ninety degree turn without slowing down. Rumors about UFOs had been spreading and we had heard about them. (I was born in 1950.) There were various stories. Up until that night I had thought it would be really neat to see one and wasn't afraid of the sky or the night or the stars. We felt some kind of connection with the objects (like in our minds, telepathy). One of the objects left very quickly. It was as if it had completely left our known universe, or solar system, in an instant. When it sped off, I could feel it inside my body (perhaps a low frequency sound wave that can be felt but not heard?). The other craft stayed in the area. At this point I could "hear" myself talking to the occupants and I told them that I had heard about them and that some of them were good and some of them were bad and wondered what kind they were. I clearly heard a "Don't worry. We're just here to watch." I thought back, "Okay. You watch us and we'll watch you." It then came down to just above the treetop level and matched our car speed (which by then was probably around 40). I could see the outline of the trees against the light of the craft. It was clearly a saucer-shaped object and it was spinning. Again there was no sound, even though it was now so close, but again I could "feel" it inside my body. Did I mention that it was around 2 am or so when we first sighted these objects and that it was 75 miles to the next town? At that point, my conscious memory picks up when we are approaching the next town and the sun is coming up. We are all four quite wide awake and talking about what we just witnessed and trying to decide what, if anything, we should do about it. We thought about going to the police, then figured that a) they wouldn't believe us and think we were crazy or on drugs (which we weren't at the time), or b) if they did believe us and went to check it out it was so far away, and the craft was so fast, there was little likelihood that it would still be there, so there would be nothing for them to find, and then we would be back to a. So, we didn't tell anyone. This happened in September, around labor day. Up north. At that time of year, the sun is starting to come up later in the day. We were only 75 miles away from the next town when the experience started. At the beginning we were doing average highway speeds (around 55). No matter how I calculate it, I have some missing time...at the minimum several hours. The fact that everything was so clear up to the moment that the craft matched our car speed, and then there is this huge gap (we never saw it leave, it just suddenly wasn't there anymore) is highly suspicious. From that night on, I started years of nightmares about being trapped on a spaceship trying to hide and not having anywhere to go. I was terrified of the night sky. I definitely did NOT like the idea of EVER seeing one of those objects ever again. Through hypnosis (I finally couldn't stand it anymore) I recreated/recaptured the events that I could not consciously remember. Of course, I will always wonder whether those recaptured memories are accurate or not, since my conscious mind did not have those memory patterns. But considering the event, the loss of time, and the ensuing nightmares and fear, I can only assume that some traumatic event took place that night. My opinion is that there is, without a doubt, something going on, and it frustrates me that we have people who think it's "funny" to create fake evidence and fool us (like we're all stupid for believing them) and people who aren't willing to look at what evidence there is and try and figure out what is actually going on. I, from my experience, do not believe that this is a benign phenomena. Whatever it is, whether it's beings from another planet, another plane of reality, the future us, a manifestation of our subconscious that has infected the human race, it was not a pleasant or beneficial experience for me, or for a lot of ordinary people out there. We need to know more. For what it's worth, though, I do believe that something happened to me. I have no hidden agenda. I know what I saw, and there was no moon, or clouds, or swamp gas, or drugs, or reason for us to make up such an encounter. I have driven on deserted roads in the dark before and since and not seen a thing. Niagara On The Lake Residents of Niagara on the lake were seeing so many strange and mysterious sights and lights in the skies above Lake Ontario in the 1975 - 80 period that that they gave them little heed. It was the tourists attending the Shaw Festival who found them remarkable. The celestial shows were visible over the lake between Oakville and Oshawa and beyond. The lights were brighter than the planets and stars. They were always the same color, deep orange. Their movements were executed at ultra high speeds. The lights moved erratically around in the dusky sky, often making ninety degree turns. The mystery lights were repeatedly observed by numerous residents, among them Harry Picken, an aeronautical engineer and president of Genaire Limited, a St. Catharine's based firm which produces high technology components for the Department of National defense. Picken was a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute. Harry Picken saw the lights for the first time at 9:30 PM on April 9, 1975. He described what he saw to John Dueck, a newsman with the Niagara Advance, April 17, 1975. There were three or four lights in the sky. At times they remained stationary; then they moved in an erratic way. They were glowing, orange color, and at times turned suddenly very bright, like a Roman candle, and then would go out again. The lights were certainly not those of an aircraft. Aircraft do not create lights of orange color and are not of an intensity as these lights were. Through binoculars we could see aircraft flying above Toronto with much dimmer bluish and red lights. The landing lights create an altogether different effects. The illumination of the lights in the sky had an entirely different source that that of airplanes. Picken said much the same to Paul Wilson of the Niagara Falls Review on March 15, 1980: They're seen most often in the winter months when there are high waves on the lake. Usually conditions are such that nobody in their right mind would be involved in maneuvers. Rescue would be impossible. Besides, through my work I have a good idea of the activities of the air force. It's not them. These objects are not mirages. They move in a positive fashion as if controlled by some form of intelligence. And almost invariably their lights dim when aircraft pass overhead from Toronto. I offer no opinion. But I do say there are certain things we don't understand. When he was interviewed by Michael Clarkson of the St. Catharine's Standard, October 11, 1980, Picken stated: "What people are seeing cannot be explained away as physical phenomena... there's nothing in science to match it." In the year 1800, as Clarkson noted, Mrs. Simcoe, wife of John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, was the first person to observe (or at least mention) globes of light in the sky over the lake. In 1975, a right angled, bar like streak or band appeared in a Landsat satellite image of the Welland area of the lake. In the October 1981 issue, the editors of Ommi published a photograph of an immensely long, cylindrical vehicle with portals and a rounded nose, light green and dull gray in color. Over the years a host of UFOlogists have suggested that the mystery lights are really unidentified flying objects which come not from deep space but from the depths of Lake Ontario where there may be found a secret submarine UFO base Sudbury, Ontario The Sudbury Incident What did observers see over the city of Sudbury the night of November 11, 1975 ? Did they see UFO ? Did the radar screens of the NORAD station at nearby Falconbridge really respond to the presence of UFOs in the sky over Sudbury ? These are some of the questions raised by Philip J. Klass in UFO: The Public Deceived (1983). More to the point, after gathering existing first hand evidence, he came to an independent conclusion. Perhaps because his answers to these questions are plausible, they are not calculated to bring satisfaction to those predisposed to belief in UFOs. The commander at the Falconbridge radar station was notified at 5:45 AM that the station had received a number of reports of UFOs over Sudbury. The commander observed, "All reports were similar in that three to four objects, described as bright, round objects with no apparent velocity, were sighted over the city of Sudbury." As the Falconbridge personnel had not noted any unidentified targets on their long range surveillance radar, they decided to turn on their height-finder radar and look for targets in the direction of Sudbury. In doing so they observed a target at an altitude of about 36,000 feet moving slowly from west to east. Station personnel, sent outside to watch the lights in the sky, reported that one of them "appeared to ascent at a high rate of speed. Simultaneously..... the height finder reported a change in altitude ... from 36,000 feet to 72,000 feet in a matter of two minutes." The commander discussed the persistent radar target with NORAD officials. The 23rd Region decided to dispatch two F-106 interceptors from Selfridge AFB, Michigan, to investigate. By now it was broad daylight but the pilots could find no craft-like objects, only high-altitude clouds laden with ice crystals that reflected the sunlight. Such clouds were capable of returning radar energy and producing blips on the Falconbridge height-finder radar. In the opinion of the commander, this could account for the "anomalous propagation". As for the lighted objects seen in the night sky with the naked eye, Klass concluded: "This is not surprising, considering that a very bright Jupiter was visible after 2.30 a.m. local time. On the night of October 20, NBC-TV whose programs can be seen by Canadians living near the U.S. border, had rekindled interest in UFO's with a dramatic two-hour film recounting the alleged UFO abduction of Betty and Barney Hill." Therefore, to answer the questions posed above, observers in Sudbury saw the planet Jupiter; they did not see UFO's; and the radar screens at Falconbridge independently responded with blips from ice crystals, not alien spacecraft. No UFOlogist is going to accept any conclusion supplied by Philip J. Klass. No matter how knowledgeable and reasonable Klass may sound, they argue, he is a charter member of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOPS), the principal sceptical group. One student of such matters has compared Klass with the surgeon who finds it necessary to boast that he has not lost a patient yet. The reader should examine Clear Intent: The Government Coverup of the UFO Experience (1984) for a point of view on the Sudbury incident at variance with Klass's. The authors of this book, Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J. Greenwood, take pains to point out that the "considerable concern" expressed by governments in the United States and Canada to "the UFO phenomena." They find that the Sudbury incident was responsible for "probably one of the most significant modern examples of suspicious unknown air activity possibly affecting national security." Pickering - UFOs And Ontario Hydro The Pickering Nuclear Generating Plant at Pickering, east of Toronto, is owned and operated by Ontario Hydro and is one of the world's largest nuclear power generating facilities. Security personnel at the Plant reported seeing clusters of bright red pulsating objects in the sky on two nights, 31 December 1974 and 4 February 1975. On both occasions the balls of light were observed to hover in the night sky above Lake Ontario for about half an hour. The incidents were described by Yurko Bondarchuk in UFO: Sightings, Landings and Abductions who noted that at the time of the two sightings Reactor Number 3 was temporarily disabled. He offered the suggestion that the UFOs might be on a "spy" mission. Pickering / Dennis Prophet Dennis Prophet's life was changed when he saw his first UFO. An RCAF veteran and the operator of an automobile dealership in West Hill, near Pickering, a town east of Toronto, Prophet had no interest in unidentified flying objects until 16 January 1974. That was the night that he experienced his first sighting. "When you've seen what I have seen and what my family has seen, you've got to believe", he explained. It was the sight of an oval, orange glowing object in the sky toward the east that excited him. He was talking with an employee on a cold night outside his West Hill dealership when they saw the UFO. It was at an altitude of about 1,500 feet. It appeared to be hovering over the Cherrywood Hydro lines in Pickering, Ontario. After watching it hovering there for about 10 minutes, we noticed it coming closer to us. As it came closer, we observed a ribbon of light that appeared to be revolving on the top, which indicated that it had some form of cabin or observation tower on the top of it. To define more clearly the ribbon of light, it appeared like a miniature rainbow revolving around the top of an observation deck. While hovering, it maintained the same altitude. Being an extremely cold night, the employee suggested that we step back into the showroom and for other reasons I felt the same way. While observing the object at very close range for a further 5 minutes, we saw it slowly begin to rise, accelerating in a spiral pattern to an altitude of some 4,000 to 4,500 feet, where it stopped for a moment, hovering, then started to move across the sky to the north. The object was observed for a further 10 minutes by my employee and another witness, my wife. I had called home and asked her to look into the sky to see if she could spot the object, which she did for some 10 minutes as it headed in a northerly direction still at an altitude of about 4,500 feet. The whole sighting lasted from 11 p.m. to 11.25 p.m. It seemed in the range of a quarter of a mile away. That was simply the first in a series of sightings many of which were spotted in the vicinity of the Pickering nuclear power plant. Prophet equipped and modified a van for UFO tracking purposes. "It's a 1974 Dodge Royal Sports man, soon to be a $15,000 UFO research unit complete with a dome for observational purposes, a telephone, a number of binoculars of various power, spotting scopes, including a Schmidt-Celestron 8 inch casgrain telescope for night viewing." The quotations come from Gene Duplantier's Foreword to Prophet's own illustrated pamphlet The Amazing West Hill- Pickering Sightings (1975). Duplantier added, "Since 1974, he has seen several hundred strange objects in the night skies but only nineteen that could be classified as genuine UFO's." Prophet soon joined the MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), a U.S. based organization, and planned to establish a Canadian group with the same aims. He proposed to call it the Reptune Research Organization. There is a reference in his booklet to Henry McKay, the provincial director of MUFON, an electrician by training. Elsewhere McKay predicted, "Some time before 1977, I'm confident that I'll have a face-to-face meeting with extraterrestrial creatures who've landed their craft on Ontario soil. These creatures are exploring Earth, just as we're sending out craft to investigate the Moon, Venus and Mars." McKay quoted J. Allen Hynek, the scientist who established the Center for UFO Studies in Illinois and who coined the phrase, "close encounters of the third kind." Apparently Hynek once said, "I don't know why, but there are more UFO sightings in Canada than anywhere else in the world." Elmira, Ontario My younger brother and myself had a sighting, I believe in 1974, maybe 1975 of August or September. I was 13 and my brother 11. I don't know the year for sure but the chestnuts were all out and ready for picking. I lived in a small town called Elmira in Ontario Canada, a few miles from Kitchener. My younger brother and myself went on what we called a chestnut hunt. You see we played this game in school where you put a small hole in the chestnut and then you tie a string through it. To play the game you would lay your chestnut on the ground and the other guy would slam his chestnut onto your chestnut to try and break it, then it would be your turn and so on. The winner would be the one with his chestnut intact. We went out into the country side to get to this big old tree we new of. It was on our way back walking down one of our roads in Elmira is when we saw it. It was above the tree tops which were at least 150 feet tall, coming towards us but moving slightly to our right and going up on an angle. It looked like an upside down "V" shaped object with a glow of colors (reddish, yellow) around the edges. It made no sound at all that we could hear. I pointed it out to my brother so he could see it. Then it slipped into the clouds. It was partly cloudy outside and the. Unknown Amherstview, Ontario Fall Of 1979 Hello...My younger brother has encouraged me to write you and tell you of my 'sighting' that happened way back in 1979?, when I was 16 years old?. So here it goes; I was a teenage girl and I lived in Amherstview, Ontario. (just a small sub-division west of Kingston, Ontario...along Lake Ontario.) It was Fall, as I remember the air being chilly and it was really windy and the leaves were blowing off the trees as we walked. My girl friend and I, had eatin supper and were on our way to the stores to 'hang-around' with our friends. We'd just left my house, walked up our street hill, went through a fenced pathway and were walking towards the park. (South towards Lake Ontario, You can see the Lake across the highway from where I was.) I was listening to her talk and was watching the ground as I walked, thinking I wished I had of stayed home cause it was chilly out when....the weirdest feeling came over me, everything went silent (accept her)...and this big shadow cast came over top of us...I was filled with fear to look up..as I knew something was above us...I looked up and saw it, I was stunned for a minute, in shock! I looked around us then, (there's a row of the 'backs' of houses up on a hill backing unto the park)...I could see a family eating their supper around their kitchen table, I thought...'turn around you idiot's, look at this', and I could see the trees still blowing, but where I stood, everything was still...I then stopped, and Robin stopped talking by then too and she was looking up in amazement...(her mouth dropped open). Above us was an enormous round space craft? It was huge it covered the whole park and was just above the trees, it made no noise at all...I like to describe it as being a Mica colour, (like the rock called Mica), almost irridescent or glowing, there was a dome like 'belly' in the middle that was a darker colour and all along the top of it were red blinking lights...digital lights, like on a digital clock, you know? This flying craft was actually 'hovering' over us, as though it were looking at us while we stood stunned looking at it. Then the silence was broken with Robin letting out the most deafening scream...she started running towards the lake, I didn't know what to do, so I ran behind her..that's when I noticed the aircraft was moving slowly now also in the same direction we were running and I came to mysenses..."Robin, I yelled, turn around, where are you going?, turn around, lets run back...she finally turned around and we started running back towards the pathway's to my house...The flying craft kept goingtowards the lake but extremely slow...My heart was just pounding with excitement and I was running as fast as I could because I figured Icould show it to my parents before if flew out of sight...Robin was inhysterics, bawling and crying and totally out of breath when we reached my house. I plowed through our kitchen door and convinced my parents to come out in the backyard...Dad, Dad, I seen a flying saucer...Dad come here, quick! Look do you see it??? See the red lights??Do you see them?? Well that's 'all' both my parents were able to make out was the red lights flashing. (As by then the craft was through the park across the highway and over Lake Ontario just to the left of Fairfield National Park). My Father then decided to call Kingstons Airport and ask if anything was 'flying' at the moment in that area..(as the Airport is in that direction)..we figured they must beable to see it out there window...but the guy on the phone said "He doesn't see anything, and nothings in that area, that maybe your daughter saw a star twinkling...sometimes people mistake stars for UFO's". (What a jerk). Then he also called the local radio station to see if anyone else reported anything unsual, but they said "Nope", and hung up. It was quite the experience...and I'm still trying to talk myself out of what I saw, cause how could that be? For several years later, I experienced some weird dreams, I blamed on the 'experience.' One where I'm in this bright room standing alone and above me are 2 men with pale white skin and big dark eyes and wearing long ivory robes, they are standing on some belcony, peering at me over a railing of some kind...they don't speak, but I know what they're saying....one is a 'good' man and one is mean, the good man demands for them to release me 'because she's one of the good ones' but the mean man is not too pleased about the decision to release me...then I wake up! The other dreams are pretty scary....of 'them' attacking earth and so on. Well I hope you 'believe' my story, I'd be willing to take a lie detector test. As for Robin...I've lost contact with her over the years...after that night things weren't the same with us. She, for instance, told me she never wants to discuss this 'flying' thing ever again, and if I tell anyone and they ask her, she'll deny seeing anything. (I don't understand why she wouldn't want to discuss it...who cares what others think, I know I'm not crazy...I KNOW WHAT I SAW and I will never forget it!! Many Thanks To This Witness For Sending Their Report To HBCC UFO 1 1/2 Miles North Of Clarendon, Ontario, Palmerston Township, Frontenac County December 30, 1976, 5:55 PM Outside of our home, the brothers saw an object about 300 - 400 yards from their home and about tree height. The description given is as follows: It was circular and very bright and appeared to have prongs of about the same brightness emanating from the sides. (Name Deleted) heard something in the yard and went outside to see what it was and upon seeing this object, yelled to his brother (name deleted) to come out and see it - (name deleted) saw it and it seemed to remain in the same place for 10 seconds and disappeared at once.

| Little Britain Ontario - North-Western Tip Of Lake Scugog November 27, 1972, 10:10 PM I am enclosing a copy of a letter which has been forwarded to the Ontario Provincial Police at Stayner, Ontario, and would appreciate it very much if you find the time to read it, and the contents of this letter to you. Being a concerned citizen, I would very much like to know about these so called UFOs and what the Air Force is doing about them. It may also be of interest to you, that on November 27, 1972, at about 10:10 PM, my family and I were traveling south of Little Britain and we watched a red speck of light descend from a pin point from the south-western sky. As it gradually descended at a fantastic speed towards earth it became larger. It hovered over the north-western tip of Lake Scugog being the next concession over from where we watched, and then for about 20 minutes it glowed red brightly and fading and glowing brightly again. It was about the size of a water tower cut in half as we viewed it across the fields, until it suddenly disappeared. Again on January 8, 1973, my two daughters and I were driving in an easterly direction towards Lindsay from Little Britain at about 5:00 PM when the sky was clear and a pale blue in color, when all of a sudden a brilliant white light appeared before us on the north side of the road. I remembered reading somewhere that someone flashed a flashlight at one and it had flashed back so I thought I would do the same thing. I put on my car lights on and off three times and in return, the huge light flashed back at us three times where I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car. Two other cars sped by us and they obviously saw the same thing we did, but as I opened the door of the car and stood up, the light moved faster than we could follow it, over to the south of us which was on our right almost over our car. We were unable to determine its shape but did observe that it made no sound, and was about the size again of the top half of a water tower and then it completely disappeared. I have often seen these strange lights in the skies at all hours of the night in particular, and have seen their erect behavioral patterns, along with others I have known and of whom did not report to the police. I reported sightings to the A.P.R.O. at Tucson, Arizona, and to the Orillia radio station and this last one to the O.P.P. at Stayner and Lindsay. It is one thing to view these strange craft at a distance but to have one as near to my family and I as the one at Stayner, it is a much different matter. Also, one evening this January 18, my 10 year old daughter was found in shock when I arrived home from work at about 9:20 PM. She was white in color and couldn't speak and it took me almost 1 1/2 hours to get her to talk to me what had happened. Apparently she saw a "cigar-shaped" object hovering at tree top level out in front of our place where we live in Lindsay. The flashing blue lights drew her attention to look at what it was. She stated that the lights were "twirling". It sounds similar to what (name deleted) saw of whom lives at (deleted). She also told me all about her experience with objects of this nature. A couple I was acquainted with from Little Britain told me that they were followed three times by a brilliant white light from Markham to just north of Port Perry and I know others, many others, who have related their encounters with UFOs I want to know why the public isn't being told or informed about these and why stories in the newspapers or reports on the radio are being "hushed up" so to speak on something that is obviously the greatest discovery of out time. Your kind attention to this very serious matter would be greatly appreciated, and I remain, Yours very truly, (deleted) PS - I am hoping you will reply to my letter as I intend to find out some answers from somewhere about these "things". Below: are two drawnings The witness made of the sighting. One is the location (Map) and the other a rough copy of what the craft looked like. |
