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.

Time of observation: 19:15 EDT (checked clock) Flying on top of layered cloud, well below us. The Captain drew my attention to an unusual set of lights to the south One large bright white light and 6 small ones. It looked like a large kite about 20 deg. above the horizon at 90 dogs to the aircraft. While we were looking at this set of lights we saw a big fire ball that star- ted as a very bright white light and grew into a large red ball. It then turned violet in color then light blue. We saw two of these, I checked the clock. The first one was at 19:19 EDT the second at 19:21 at 19:35 EDT one large pear shape cloud glowing pale blue was drifting slowly eastward. T/O Bob Ralph who is presently training to become a Captain had written the basic flight informations, time and position on a piece of paper. He also made a diagram at the time, photostat included.
