Hi Mike,

That would be my take on that as well. If you are not receiving
reports then your stats are going to interpret this as a lack of
sightings. But if you have never heard of the place in the first
place, how do you know where to report.

UFO investigation by any government agency in Canada appears on
the surface to be dead-and the public knows it. They usually
default to their old standby the RCMP or local police. Even the
National Research Council's so called UFO investigative body
neve investigated these things but rather used the reports to
filter out fireball and meteor reports for the scientific
community.

I find that the RCMP in particular are reluctant to release any
information about UFO reports due to the privacy act, citing the
right to privacy of any individual making a report. The Mounties
clam up. There is some suggestion that some UFO reports are
getting channelled through NORAD in St. Hubert, Quebec, if the
report is made initially to the military.

Perhaps it's our fault but it appears that it's time to light a
fire under some of these agencies because I'm sure the general
public have a different take on the number of UFO sightings
occurring in Canada.
