Seen any UFOs lately? If so, you are not alone. According to the authors of this book, over three million Canadians admit to seeing a UFO. Of course, not all are flying saucers navigated by little green aliens. Some might be aircraft, satellites, balloons, meteors, ball lightning, or other identifiable objects.

It’s not surprising so many people see UFOs. According to this book they’re all over Canada, crashing into the sea off Nova Scotia, circling Goose Bay in Labrador, touching down in a northern Ontario forest, stealing villagers (and corpses) in the Arctic, peeking into farm kitchens in Quebec, cruising around Winnipeg, threatening to invade Ottawa, streaking through the sky over Vancouver, or making crop circles in Saskatchewan. Sometimes it is a single object — perhaps a shiny ball or saucer-like disk — but occasionally whole trains of the mysterious objects have been sighted. Some observers attempt to photograph UFOs but, unfortunately, the photos never turn out. Frequently, many people see the same mysterious flying object. None, however, are prepared to give their names so their stories cannot be confirmed. Other witnesses are simply abducted by the aliens, making verification a challenge.

The government, it is believed, knows more about these alien invasions than it is willing to admit. The book reviews what is presumed to be the Canadian government’s history of investigating UFOs; apparently almost all of this activity is/was highly classified and cannot be confirmed. It is known, though, that a UFO landing pad was built in St. Paul, Alberta, as a gesture to welcome aliens.

The authors attempt to survey UFO sightings and have a database of over 5,000 reports. While they cannot prove aliens have landed in Canada, there is no proof they haven’t done so. Readers inclined to give the little green men the benefit of a doubt will find the book provides lots of material to support that position.
