The 1970 Duncan, BC UFO Incident (did a UFO hoax get commemorated on a Canadian coin?)

/

Duncan, BC. New Years Day 1970. Just before dawn.

Doreen Kendall, a nurse at the Cowichan Hospital, wanted to open a window and get some fresh air in a patients room. As the curtains parted, a blinding light being projected from an object hovering just outside the window froze her dead in her tracks. The beings she claimed to see operating the object, they changed her life forever.

In the case of the Duncan UFO Incident, the story doesn't end there. The royal Canadian mint just released a coin commemorating this event, which leads us to the latest Incident in the story of the Duncan UFO Incident.

A local 81 year old man came forward and revealed what he claims to be the true story of what happened... and if you believe him, it was a simple hoax that went much further than anyone planned.

Tonight, in this episode, UFO researcher and writer Chris Rutkowski and I are going to attempt to understand the 1970 Duncan, BC UFO Incident.

the US Congressional Hearing on UFO/UAP

/

We are going to do something I rarely do.... Cross the American border.

Given this series title UFOs above CANADA and Nighttime’s tag line CANADIAN crime, mysteries, and the weird this is clearly a unique situation.

Just last week, three former American military officials revealed in a congressional hearing that they believe the American government is covering up the recovery of a downed extraterrestrial spacecraft and the non human biological materials it contained.

In this episode we are joined by UFO researchers Martin Willis (who attended the hearing) and Chris Rutkowski.

Two Halifax Police Officers and a UFO (with former Cst. Rick Prescott)

/

In June of 1997 two Halifax Regional Police officers took a break from the action to have a coffee and catch their breath.

They pulled into a dark lot behind a Tim Hortons, pulled their cruisers window to window, and began to chat... unaware their lives were about to change forever.

Within warning an object appeared in the sky that they have been trying to explain for over 25 years.

In this episode I'm joined by Rick Prescott, formally Cst. Prescott of the Halifax Police, to tell us about the two Halifax Police officers and the UFO.

For over 30 years Chris Rutkowski and his group UFOlogy research has been collecting, compiling, and analyzing data associated with Canadian UFO reports. They share their findings in the Canadian UFO Report.

UFOs Above Canada - the St. Paul, Alberta UFO Landing Pad

/
<

In this episode Chris Rutkowski and I discuss one of Canada's many UFO secrets.

This isn't one of those secrets anyone is trying to keep though...

I'm sure the town of St. Paul, Alberta would love to have the world find out about their unique contribution to Canada's UFO history.

Many Canada's may be unaware that back in 1967, the mayor of St. Paul Alberta decided to have the world's first UFO landing pad built and the monolithic concrete structure still stands today... waiting to it's first arrival.

In this episode of Nighttime our topic is the St. Paul, Alberta UFO Landing Pad

UFOs Above Canada - Chris Rutkowski on being the Canadian Government's UFO guy

/

In all my time of knowing Chris Rutkowski he never mentioned to me that the Canadian Government's official process for the handling of UFO reports includes him. A strange relationship that only became public as a result of Freedom of information requests by journalists and civilian investigators.

In addition to all that he has a new book 'CANADA's UFOs Declassified' to tell us about and we have a recent instance of UFOs being brought up by a member of Parliament during hearings in Ottawa to break down.

In this episode of Nighttime, Chris Rutkowski and I get in to all of it.

Elon Musk Is Responsible For Many Canadian UFO Reports (aka what is the starlink satellite constellation)

/

Listeners of Nighttime, consider this episode a sort of public service.

This episode has the power to ease the minds of many people out there who feel they have witnessed a fleet of alien invaders in the skies above Canada.

The story usually manifests itself in one of two ways; it's either a photo showing a series of aerial lights in a straigh line, or a witness account from someone who saw a series of objects flying one after the other in a sort of liner formation.

Well, if you see this type of photo or hear this story don’t immediatly rush to your emergency shelter.

ELON MUSK, the billionaire inventor and entrepreneur may very well be behind in.

In fact, Elon musk may be partly responsible for the rise in Canadian UFO reports.

In this episode of Nighttime, Canadian UFO researcher and data analyst Chris Rutkowski will tell us about Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellite Constellation and what role it plays in the rise in UFO reports.

UFOs Above Canada - 5 - the Canadian Government and UFOs (with Matthew Hayes)

/

After releasing the prior episodes in this series, outlining my son's ufo event and the MUFON organization, I've heard from listeners curious if (and to what extent) the Canadian government is involved in the reporting and investigation of UFO events. 

In this episode of Nighttime I'll speak to someone well positioned to tell us all about our governement's surprising history with the UFO phenomena.

When Trent University PHD Candidate Matthew Hayes was considering a topic for his doctoral dissertation, he found inspiration late at night while exploring one of the many rabbit holes a google search for "UFOs" found him in.

When Mattew happened upon an archive of Canadian Government documents related to UFO reports, he found his field.

Matthew Hayes' has spent years collecting, analyzing, and trying to understand the history of the Canadian Government's relationship with the UFO mystery.

UFOs Above Canada - 4 - Reporting the 2018 Dairy Queen UFO Event

/
cover.jpg

When considering the next topic to cover, I turned to the UFOs Above Canada facebook group for recommendations. As I took note of the many great ideas the group members shared, something else that caught my attention.

Two people from opposite corners of Canada posted details of their recent UFO sightings. The reports were different in nearly every way, but had one commonality. Each solicited help identifying the anomalous object and requested advice on where next to turn.

Immediately this episode's topic, Reporting a UFO, was the obvious next step, but I never expected it to show up on my doorstep the way it did.

Just as I began research for this episode, the gods of podcasting and whomever controls the strange objects in the sky saw to it that I would get a person lesson in UFO reporting.

In this episode, I'll share the story of my 5 year old son Dominic's recent UFO sighting, our experience reporting it, and share the findings of the investigation that followed.

UFOs Above Canada - 3 - Why Should We Care About UFOs?

/

Like any question that concerns odd lights in the sky, why we should we care about UFOs? is nuanced, subjective, and with many answers.

For part 3 of UFOs Above Canada, I've reached out to a motley crue of friends, podcast family, and Nighttime listeners to provide you a cornucopia of opinions on tonight's question... 

Why should we care about UFOs?

UFOs Above Canada - 1 - What is a UFO?

/

In UFOs above Canada I set out to remove the mud clouding the waters that UFOs may or may not be crashing into and present the phenomenon as I see it... 

Compelling, fascinating, inspiring, and most of all... a reality!

With this episode being the first in this series, it only makes sense to tackle the most misunderstood three letters in this entire field... U.F.O. 

In this episode the foundation for the series will be established by asking UFO writer MJ Banias the surprisingly complicated question… What is a UFO?
