A huge disclosure from the Great White North. Daniel Otis reports on and reproduces a “Sky Canada Project” nine-page February PowerPoint presentation. While the document was leaked to CTVNews anonymously, it’s been confirmed as authentic by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor, which will conduct the study. That post has an annual budget of less than $4 million Canadian—currently under $3 million U.S.—and surely it’s for Other Things to Do besides UAP studies. But the presentation is straightforward and sensible: it requests help from other governmental organizations and aims for “the release of a public report by mid-2024.” Otis notes “heightened interest in so-called unidentified aerial phenomena” after the February “shootdowns” in U.S. and Canadian airspace. This adds interest to the question Did Russia Close Down Airspace Because of ‘UFO’ Seen In Video? Newsweek’s Yevgeny Kuklychev answers “Nope.” The real temporary closure seems related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while the video’s an old hoax revivified for the occasion. But Noah Hradek’s plotting and analysis of U.S. NUFORC Geographic Data merits consideration. Among other findings from National UFO Reporting Center figures, Hradek (as have others) discounts the recent “37th Parallel UFO Highway” contention. See also Hradek’s previous work on NUFORC Data Analysis. (WM)
