Getting publicity for his UFO reporting facility is difficult - consequently he spreads snail-mail far and wide in his bid for witness feedback. Toronto, yesterday, took a double-hit of UFO coverage in the press - the Toronto Star article and the following 'Letter of The Day' in the Letters To The Editor section of The Toronto Sun - on page 15... ebk ----- Dear readers, Every Canadian recognizes November 11th as "Remembrance Day", a day set aside to remember those who fought and died in past wars, giving up their lives for freedom. For those of us who are involved in UFO research, this date has special significance in the annals of the unexplained. This year, November 11th will mark the 25th anniversary of the "CFS Falconbridge UFO Incident". On the morning of November 11, 1975, four unidentified targets were picked up on radar by military personnel at the Canadian Forces Station Falconbridge and witnessed by several observers, including OPP and Regional Police officers. Some folks reported that they were followed down the highway by one of these objects. Authorities offered two explanations for the sightings: the now infamous Venus/Jupiter explanation. Then, in 1979, changed the verdict from planets to ice crystals in the clouds that somehow reflected sunlight and created images in the sky. But when viewed in the light of the evidence and the testimony of the witnesses, the explanations simply don't stand up. This event is known throughout the world, having been mentioned in numerous books; it is considered to be one of the best radar/visual UFO cases on record. But it is not the only one. I've heard many reports where a local resident would call the radar base to report unusual lights in the sky and in turn, were told by base personnel that the objects were already being tracked on radar for the past half-hour! The witnesses would then be told that they would be contacted at a later date by someone at the base; no one ever got in touch with these witnesses again. Today, the abandoned buildings that make up the radar installation stand as a silent reminder of the military activity that took place there on a daily basis, and more specifically, of the historical event of November 11th, 1975. On another note, 1999 has been a bumper crop year for UFO sightings, with 34 individual reports made by highly credible people; some of these folks were absolutely skeptical of UFOs until their encounter. In a few weeks, a new year will begin. And I am positive that UFO activity in the Sudbury area and elsewhere will once again pick up. My best advice to you all: Watch the skies! If you or anyone you know has any information about this or any other cases, please contact me by dialing (705) 670-2759 or e-mailing me at: ufoman@ican.net. Confidentiality is assured. Cordially, Michel M. Deschamps MUFON Provincial Section Director for Sudbury, Ontario & UFO Eyewitness/Researcher/Historian
