Canada's chief science advisor, making nearly $400,000 a year, has quietly launched a secret UFO investigation program. But it's not what you think. She's not just studying UFO sightings. She's actually exploring how to make contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. According to Rebel News, we finally got more information on the Canada Sky Project after it operated nearly two years without hearing anything from them. And access to information documents reveal that Dr. Mona Newmar, Canada's top science advisor, assigned 7 employees to launch this UFO contact research program practically in complete secrecy, giving the public nearly no information on what they were doing or when the UFO report was going to be released. Which, fun fact, It hasn't been released yet, even though they said they were going to release that UFO report in the fall of last year. But that's besides the point.
Hey, UFOlogers, I'm Cristina Gomez, and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates. As you may remember, back in February of 2023, a Chinese, Chinese, surveillance balloon drifted across the North American airspace. And after it was shot down off the Carolina coast, something unexpected happened. Canadian citizens began reporting UFO sightings at unprecedented levels. And this surge in UFO reports caught the attention of Dr. Neumer, who saw an opportunity. When parliamentarians started asking questions about whether Canada should be studying UAPs back in 2024, here's what happened.
Topic of UAPs, unidentified aerial anomalous phenomena, and lots has been written and presented to the U.S. Congress on this topic. Scientists and those experts in that field have been have briefed Congress on this. I know that our Canadian minister has been briefed, some of our persons here as well. Would this be a topic that you would be interested in studying?
Mr. Chair, we are actually, we have initiated a study on this. And, you know, we've made it actually public that we are carrying out the study. I must say that it has generated a lot of public interest.
But here's what makes this different from typical government UFO studies. Internal memos obtained through access to information requests reveal that Numer didn't just want to investigate sightings, she wanted to examine the feasibility of contacting extraterrestrial life.

But when Canadian parliamentarians started asking more pointed questions, things got a little interesting. The questioning reveals that Canada had completely abandoned UFO research back in 1995 due to costs, at least so they say. And for nearly three decades, no federal agencies were investigating UFOs. Again, so they say. Numerous single-handedly revived this research without parliamentary oversight, and at an undisclosed cost to taxpayers.
Perhaps offer the following, that based on what we have gathered in terms of information so far, I think that there is room for improvement in terms of the gathering, reporting on the information, and also making it available to researchers and to the public. I think that this is the kind of things that if the information, of course I can appreciate that some, maybe of national security concerns, but I believe that by and large that you can make the information public and I think that's the best way to mitigate. misinformation and those prone to misinformation. Exactly, yeah, thank you.
Here's where this story takes a pretty surprising turn. Numer commissioned a nationwide survey to gauge public support for UFO research. And the results were actually devastating. Only 10% of Canadians support spending public funds on UFO investigation. Think about it. In an era where UFO disclosure has captured global attention, where Congress is holding unprecedented hearings in the United States, and where military pilots are going on record about encounters with craft displaying impossible technology, most Canadians simply do not want their taxpayer dollars spent on it.
The transport department receives an average of 36 UFO reports annually, but these include fireworks, weather balloons, and meteors as well. Canada holds about 9,500 historical UFO reports from 1947 to 1978 in its archives, and not a single one has been verified as genuinely anomalous. which is a little shocking to hear knowing how many famous cases have taken place in Canada.
The access to information documents reveal what numerous team has really been doing. They've been compiling famous Canadian UFO sightings from Wikipedia entries and reaching out to international partners. That's painful. Because I remember back in school, my teachers always said, never, ever use Wikipedia. Not for your essays, not for your homework. You know what? Don't even look at it. Don't even go onto the website because you will find nothing good. And while that might not necessarily be true, it's hard to hear that Canada Sky Project is collecting UFO sightings from Wikipedia.
But when pressed about cooperation with federal agencies, the response was telling. NAF Canada, which is the receiver of many UAP reports, is never, isn't very transparent, and has the Sky Canada Project team sat down with them about how they can release more information for scientific investigations.
I'll have to ask my team if they have sat down specifically with NAFCAN. I cannot answer this, but we have reached out to and sat down with many of the folks that collect the information right now. Have any of the departments or agencies flatly rejected giving you information based on the national security or classification concerns?
I don't believe that they have rejected giving us information. sometimes the information is more complete or, more cryptic than we'd like it to be, which is why in some cases I will be engaging directly with the deputy ministers to make sure that we have the information that we need.
That report still has not been released, raising questions about what they actually found or what they're being allowed to say. The parliamentary questioning revealed that some government departments have been uncooperative, providing incomplete or cryptic information, and Numer had to threaten direct engagement with deputy ministers to get the data her team needed. And this mirrors what we've seen in the US, where agencies like Arrow have been accused of stonewalling congressional investigators.
Okay, and has the Sky Canada Project spoken with with the American UAP office about how they scientifically investigate evidence, such as video and radar, and if so, what have they learned?
We have spoken with several American counterparts, including at the Galileo project that I mentioned earlier, that's looking at this, you know, scientifically with some of the NASA, the chiefs, I've spoken with the chief scientist at NASA and many other individuals who are part of the very active work on UAP in the U.S. So we're -- I think we've been quite well connected, but we're also connected with the Europeans, like with the French agencies as well. Have you had any discussions yourself with the government UAP office in the United States?
Not myself on that. Or your department?
they have with different folks. I mean, I'm sorry, I don't remember, the names, but we can certainly, forward them.
This reveals that Canada is definitely cooperating with American UAP investigators, suggesting intelligence sharing that the public isn't seeing. and numerous specifically mentioned connecting with the French agency because France has been notably transparent about UAP investigation through GPAN, their official UFO investigation unit.
What's really happening here goes beyond simple UFO investigation. Canada appears to be positioning itself within an emerging international framework for UAP transparency. The timing of Sky Canada aligns perfectly with the global disclosure movement. And while American lawmakers are pushing for congressional UAP hearings and threatened subpoenas for classified information, Canada is taking a more academic approach. But that approach comes with a problem.
Without public support, how sustainable is this research? The fact that only 10% of Canadians want to fund UFO research suggests a disconnect between government scientific curiosity and public priorities. And this could explain why the Sky Canada report keeps getting delayed and why parliamentary oversight has been minimal. What do you think? Should Canada be spending tax dollars on UFO research? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. That is it for today. I will see you next time. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
