This Internet Archive upload holds declassified Canadian records sent to the National Research Council's Meteor Centre, which filed them as non-meteoritic sightings. Most are RCAF and Canadian Forces message reports from 1965 on lights and objects seen over Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Cochrane, Whitehorse and other places. The later material dates from 1968. It includes RCMP reports from Shediac and Sydney Mines. The police concluded the Sydney Mines object that hit power lines was probably a meteorite.

Mr. Wm. A. Warren,
30.52nd Ave.,
Lachine, P.Q.
Jacques Cartier Barracks Longueuil, Quebec. 9th February, 1967
## Dear Sir:
Attached is one copy of an R.C.A.F. Air Force Police report dated January 31st, 1967 concerning an unidentified falling object which fell in the Val d'Or, P.Q. area on January 27th, 1967. It is understood that a message reporting this incident was forwarded to you on January 30th, 1967.
As of this date the entry hole in the ice is still identified by a wooden marker. May it be noted that the temperature at the time of impact, and for the remainder of the night, was $ - 2 5^{\circ} $ . The hole, when examined by Mr. Gauthier, had diminished by freezing to 12 to 15 inches in diameter. When eventually located, some twelve hours later, the hole had diminished further to about 8 inches in diameter.
Val d'Or authorities report that to date no further examination of the area has been made by any agency.
Littale
Flying Officer for Commander Air Defence Command
