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.

When we looked again for the bite like lights, they were gone, nothing left but the stars. I had asked on our first talk to draw me a diagram of what he had seen. This was on the 5th of Oct. On the 8th as I was sorting out this material I realized that it would be better to have three original diagrams, as a copy of this report was to go to three different places. I did not have the first diagram with me when I asked him to draw the others. Only after looking at all three did I realize it would be better if I sent a photostat of all three. You will notice that on the second and third diagram the position of the two fire balls, as called them, is reversed. This might have a definite meaning to a trained Investigator. is unaware of this fact: I have known for 14 years and he is not the type to go around making up stories. He also requested that I do not get him involved in any correspondence or telephone calls. If further information was required, it would have to come from me. I assured him that his request would be requested.
