The Sky Canada Project reports

In June 2025 the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada published the report of the Sky Canada Project, a review of how public reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) are handled in Canada. The office consulted federal departments and agencies, experts and other organisations, examined historical records and foreign approaches, and commissioned Earnscliffe Strategies to survey Canadians in 2024. The report found that UAP reports are scattered across government and non-government bodies with little coordination, that there is no official platform for the public to report sightings, and that reports are rarely analysed unless they pose safety or security risks. It made recommendations on reporting, research and international collaboration with bodies including AARO, NASA, GEIPAN and SEFAA.

  • Some public sources estimate that Canadians report between 600 and 1,000 UAP sightings annually (p. 5).
  • In the commissioned survey, one in four respondents said they had personally witnessed a UAP, only 10% reported their sightings, and 40% would not know whom to contact (p. 5).
  • Most federal departments do not compile the UAP reports they receive, and few investigate sightings unless they bear on national security, transportation safety or public safety (p. 5).
  • The report recommends that the lead organisation establish partnerships with international entities such as AARO and NASA (U.S.A.), GEIPAN (France) and SEFAA (Chile) (p. 7).
  • It cites the United States, France and Chile as examples of coordinated, transparent and scientifically driven approaches to UAP reporting (p. 5).
