Documents / FOIA release
This Internet Archive item compiles 1965 to 1968 records from National Research Council of Canada files (RG 77, Vol. 306) on non-meteoritic sightings. It contains fireball and UFO telex reports from RCAF stations, RCC Vancouver and the RCMP, covering lights seen over Sydney, Vancouver, Cochrane, Toronto, Whitehorse and Shediac. It also includes an RCMP investigation of a 12 July 1968 impact at Tobin Road, Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, which concluded the object was probably a meteorite, not a UFO.

We have never had any evidence of dangerous things in the sky apart from man-made aircraft during war and the possibility of being struck by lightning in a thunderstorm. Meteorites do fall but the chance of one hitting a person is extremely remote, and the authentic cases of such an event in the whole history of the human race can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
