The following accounts are taken from the actual transcripts of sightings filed with, first, the National Research Council, and finally, archived and microfilmed by the National Archives of Canada.  The National Research Council maintained a file of unidentified aerial phenomena (UFOs to us) under a category titled: "Non-Meteoric Sightings".   UFOs referred to below are "unidentified flying objects"... unidentified to the observer.  They may be nothing more than mis-identified natural objects, but read these accounts and try to imagine what kinds of natural objects could lead to the following reports.

AUFOSG (Alberta UFO Study Group) has transcribed a number of these microfilm records and presents a sampling here for your information. Wherever a name or other personal identification is indicated in the original record, we will preserve individual confidentiality while still trying to give enough information to allow the reader to visualize the event.

Knowing how these reports are often viewed by those who are skeptical and have never experienced such an event, we can only marvel at the courage that some of these individuals exhibited to file these reports in the first place.  We offer no explanation or judgment  with these reports... they are presented to you based entirely upon the information originally filed with the National Research Council.
