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.

## 23 June, 1967 Mr. J. M. McCormick Plantagenet Ontario Dear Mr. McCorpLock: The substance which you need to use consists of strips of metal-coated plastic. It has the property that a target-cloud of it in the air is a good reflector of radar waves. If dropped by aircraft it will confuse radars and bake them from observation. It comes in small balls that normally break apart when dropped from an airplane. It appears that you caught a place which had not broken up. During world war 11 it came to be called "window" or "chaff". Yours sincerely, PA 2 . Upper Atmosphere Research
