1967: The Year UFOs Invaded Canada


I have gone through all available records for notes or listings of Canadian UFO cases from 1967.

That year is significant, in my opinion, because of the many unusual sightings and trace cases reported during that year. It was a remarkable time in Canadian history - a decidedly different kind of historical record than usually promoted.

And, since this is Canada's 150th birthday, what a better time to look back on a remarkable period in our history.

And wonder...

Goose AFB Radar Air Traffic Control (RATCON) radar detected target at 30 miles SW, when target was at 4-6 miles S traveling at very high speed, Goose RATCON notified ADC radar site FPS-93 ground radar operators at the 641at AC&W Squadron, which tracked target at 180° (S0 degrees for first 8 sweeps at 200 knots (230 mph) then 4 sweeps at 2,100 knots (2,400 mph).  Target lost over Goose AFB.  Radars on different frequencies.  USAF MAC C-97 [C-54?] pilot Lt Col Gorecki was on approach to Goose runway 27 [heading W] when he sighted moving star-like steady white light visually at estimated 5,000 to 7,000 ft overtaking his 160-knot [180 knots?] aircraft [at 7,000 ft? headed N ?].  [Object heading 015 degrees True at high speed, disappeared in the N.]  (Sparks; Blue Book files;  NICAP;  Project 1947) 5+ mins 3+ witnesses radar-visual)

8 January 1967 - Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador
Pilot and ground radar operators tracked object at 2,100 knots

13 January 1967 –
Hall Beach, Northwest Territories

20 January 1967;
Lake Ontario
10:15 p.m. EST A pilot and his three passengers saw a round, glowing white object the size of a large apartment building, with a ring of red lights around it that blinked off and on. The object was above the plane at about 2,000 feet. The pilot was so disturbed by the sighting that he aborted the flight, returned to the airfield and landed. (Letter to APRO dated April 2, 1967, posted on NICAP web site.)

25 January 1967 22:19 –
Montreal E 65M, Quebec
Air Canada 309 incident. Nocturnal lights were observed by a group of witnesses.

27 January 1967
Beauport (Capitale-Nationale), Quebec
An odd light intrigued a family. Then, estimated on the ground at 2000 feet distance, it intrigued them more. The 3 men leave on snowshoes believing that it is a plane in breakdown. At 200 feet apart, they notice a saucer of 30 x 18 feet, oval, color aluminum gray, dirty with 4 square and incandescent portholes, and what looked like a red light at one end. The red halo becomes an enveloping orange net. The air vibrated and there was a slight whirring. The object rose in a flash and disappeared into the night becoming a tiny star in the sky towards the East and Île d'Orléans. Snow would have melted (50 inches) and the grass would have been burned.

A 14-year-old boy and four others saw a spherical object with spinning top and bottom and with red and green lights (body lights) which they followed and observed for 4 hours. As it hovered at about 200 feet altitude, a "white ribbon of light" (light beam) was emitted from the bottom of the object illuminating the ground. A "muffled whistling noise" was heard as the object hovered. Then a "screaming noise" like a jet engine starting up was heard, all lights went out, and the object took off with 7-8 explosive sounds. Black streaks were found on the charred road surface (physical traces). (Edmonton Journal, 5/8/67, copy in Donald E. Keyhoe Archives files; U.F.O.

9 May 1967 Night –
Edmonton, Alberta
An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft. One multi-colored domed disc was observed by two witnesses, a married couple, for over five minutes.

*May 13, 1967; Colorado Springs, CO
4:40 MDT. At the Colorado Springs airport an object was picked up on radar. During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft. The object blip appeared at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, however, the situation changed radically. The UFO blip pulled to the right (east) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of about 200 ft. The object track passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower. The object was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. This case was written up in the SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, conducted by the University of Colorado, and it was stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely. Besides, what is the probability that an AP return would appear only once, and at that time appear to execute a perfect practice ILS approach? (Wilson)

Scarborough, Ontario
Three witnesses 500 miles to the northeast, in Scarborough, Ontario, saw an elongated object with one red and one white light. It moved slowly, stopped, and slowly flew away. The object responded to light flashes (light reaction) by a witness. (Air Force report form, NICAP files.)

Both hovered 12' above ground. three small men, miner helmets on ground under boom on cigar. Ground marks. At 2:30 a.m. Carmen Cuneo, a night shift worker at a factory in Caledonia, Ontario saw two objects near the factory's scrap heap and dump area: a large cigar-shaped object on the ground, 35 feet long by 15 feet thick, and a hovering disc-shaped object about 15 feet in diameter. The smaller object, tilted up at a 45-degree angle, had a row of orange-lighted windows around its periphery. In the larger object were four square windows emitting a pulsating orange light, and from one end of it projected upward at a 45 degree angle a rod 15 feet long, bearing a large red light at the end. Beneath this light moved three small humanoid figures about three feet tall, wearing miner's hats with small lights on them. They were picking up and examining small objects on the ground with quick, jerky movements. After watching for 10 minutes, Cuneo called co-worker Marvin Hannigan to see it, but by the time Hannigan arrived the humanoids were gone. The two craft started very slowly to rise straight up into the air. After they reached a height of 50 feet they departed at about 40-45 mph without making a sound. At the landing site branches were broken and the brush charred, and an oily liquid was found on the ground.

Beeping heard. Whirlwind. Silent metallic box rotates in the air. Girl levitated.
A woman was walking through her house around six o'clock in the evening in Thompson, Manitoba when she heard an odd beeping sound. It was repeated at regular intervals of about one second, and she wondered what was causing it. She looked out her kitchen window, and saw dirt and loose pieces of paper flying in a large circle around her house. Outside, she found her husband, who had just come home, and five children staring up into the sky. A young boy was holding her eight-year-old daughter down on the ground. Up in the sky a rectangular object hung in the air, slowly rotating counter-clockwise and showing alternating silver and black sides. It was black on its lower surface, and made no noise. The object began moving off at an angle, stopped and hovered, then continued towards the southeast. Until this time the circle of dirt and dust had persisted, but it now died down. The whirlwind was confined to the area immediately around their house and did not affect any other houses on the street. When the object moved away, the dirt fell to the ground. Going to the children, the woman found they were calming down except her daughter, who seemed dazed. The boy explained that the five of them had been playing in the yard when the object first appeared overhead. As they watched, her daughter had been levitated into the air, apparently caused by the UFO in the sky. By the time the other children had come to her aid she was about one meter off the ground and her clothes had edged up her body. Her daughter said she did not remember anything from the time she felt the wind until the time she recovered after being dragged back to the ground.
