I think this PDF collection is much easier to download, and more user friendly, than the somewhat complicated method I posted last year to download individual images of these documents from. Please note: When giving its permission on behalf of the Government of Canada, the Copyright Services branch of Library and Archives Canada requested that I acknowledge the source of these documents as follows: Description: Canada’s UFOs: The Search for the Unknown © Government of Canada.

Questions are good, good ones anyway. Sometimes they answer themselves, sometimes the enrage others, many times they get ignored. However without them no one would.
SECTION B: THE PDF ARCHIVE Last year I wrote a thread here on ATS entitled. That thread referred to the UFO documents which had previously been released in Canada and made available online (but which had – prior to that thread - not been discussed very much online). In that discussion, I speculated that one of the possible reasons for the Canadian documents generating relatively little discussion (apart from the fact that ufology is dominated by authors and researchers from the USA) is that the relevant Canadian government website does not have an option for downloading the entirety of the UFO files. I therefore outlined one method of downloading the documents from. That thread prompted some very helpful input from several members of ATS (particularly freelancezenarchist and ArMaP) to identify and fill in some gaps in the blocks of relevant documents I had identified. However, the downloading method I posted last year required users to put in a reasonable amount of effort. I’m therefore pleased that I can now post (with the permission of the Canadian government) a link to a set of searchable PDF files that I’ve created of the UFO documents released in Canada:.
You can select individual sets of files or download the entire collection by clicking on the “Download Folder” button at the top right of that webpage. Of course, as with all uses of Optical Character Recognition software to convert images into searchable PDF files, the results are only as good as the source material. Tom standage written works.
Many of the images released by the Canadian government are imperfect (and, in some cases, completely illegible). Search results with these PDF documents are therefore imperfect – but I find these results considerably better than not having any search results at all! I would say that the search results are worse than with searches of the UFO documents released by the British Ministry of Defence or the redacted copies of Project Blue Book files released in the USA, but better than the results of searching the unredacted copies of Project Blue Book files. I think that the ability to store these PDFs on your own hard-drive limits reliance on slow internet access to online documents.
Also, being able to search these PDFs for keywords complements the various search options (e.g. By date of a sighting) on. It’s worth having a glance at the search options on the official Canadian website and thinking about the best way(s) to perform any particular searches that you have in mind. If you see something you consider interesting in the PDF files, you may well want to be able to give a link to the relevant document on. To make it easier to find a relevant URL for a specific page within the PDF files, I’ve created a list of image numbers on the Canadian website for each of the 8,759 pages within the PDF files. I’ve uploaded that list of file locations as part of the collection of PDF documents. You can use that document to look up the relevant page number in the PDF documents and get the image number on the official website (e.g.
Page 6780 in the PDF documents has an official image number of ). Basically: (a)The left hand column in that document lists each page number within my PDF archive of Canadian UFO documents (b)The right hand column gives the corresponding long “e” number, which forms part of URL for that page on the official Canadian website. For example, if you want to find an official copy of page number 5063 in my PDF archive then just scroll down to the line beginning “5063” (or do a search for “5063.” – including the full stop after the number) and you’ll find the corresponding “e” number (“e002749627”) indicating that the relevant page is at: Unfortunately, the precise URL for a document on the Canadian archive website varies slightly depending on which block of URLs the long“e” number falls within. All of the URL begin with “data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca” but the part of the URL thereafter varies, e.g. /e/e110/e002744278.jpg (making the URL ' target='blank' class='postlink'data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e110/e002744278.jpg).
The URLs are in different blocks containing different short “e” number (e.g. “/e/e110/”, or “/e/e110/”, or “/e/e120/”), depending on the long “e” number.
The relevant blocks are: (a)from /e/e110/e002744278.jpg to /e/e110/e002749999.jpg (b)from /e/e111/e002750000.jpg to /e/e111/e002750209.jpg. Osted by freelancezenarchist (h)from /e/e120/e002999664.jpg to /e/e120/e002999999.jpg (i)from /e/e121/e003000000.jpg to /e/e121/e003001631.jpg Thus, for example, page 6780 in the PDF documents has an official image number of e002997366 which is in a block beginning with a short e number of e120, so the URL is: To try to make this easier to follow, in addition to posting some new sample pages (in Sections C and D) I’ve update some material I’ve previously posted (in Sections E and F) giving the page numbers in the PDFs and also the relevant URL. This may sound a little complicated, but if you look at one or two examples you should get the hang of it within a minute or so. If anyone has any problems, just post in this thread and I’ll do my best to help (or to further simplify the process). Despite the helpful assistance last year from freelancezenarchist, ArMaP and others last year, some small gaps may remain in this collection of the UFO documents available on. As I mentioned in, some of the (limited) coverage of the web access to the relevant documents had referred to “9,500 files” (while the PDF files I’ve made available contain 8,759 pages): The Toronto based independent news agency ZlandCommunications has learned that the Canadian government under the leadership of the Rt.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has provided open web access to approximately 9,500 UFO files at its archive web site, Library and Archives Canada. A brief summary of government UFO documents relating to Wilbert Smith, Project Magnet and Second Storey can be found on the website of the Library and Archives Canada, at: That summary begins as follows: In 1950, a senior radio engineer from the Department of Transport, Wilbert B. Smith, made a request to his superiors to make use of a laboratory and the department's field facilities in a study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the physical principles connected to them. Smith spearheaded Project Magnet with the purpose of studying, among other occurrences, magnetic phenomena, which he believed would open up a new and useful technology.
The goals of Project Magnet were fueled by the concepts of geomagnetism, and the belief that it may be possible to use and manipulate the Earth's magnetic field as a propulsion method for vehicles. Tests conducted by Smith were reported in November 1951 and they stated that sufficient energy was abstracted from the Earth's field to operate a voltmeter at approximately 50 milliwatts.
Smith believed he was on the 'track of something that may prove to be the introduction to a new technology.' Smith believed that there was a correlation between his studies and investigations into UFOs: '.the existence of a different technology is borne out by the investigations which are being carried on at the present time in relation to flying saucers. I feel that the correlation between our basic theory and the available information on saucers checks too closely to be mere coincidence' (Smith, Geo-Magnetics, Department of Transport, November 21, 1950). It was believed by both Smith and other government departments involved, that there was much to learn from UFOs. Investigations into these sightings and interviews with the observers were the starting point for Project Magnet. In connection with the establishment of Project Magnet, members of other government agencies formed a committee solely dedicated to 'flying saucer' reports. This committee was sponsored by the Defense Research Board and called 'Project Second Story.'
Its main purpose was to collect, catalogue and correlate data from UFO sighting reports. The committee created a questionnaire and interrogator's instruction guide.
The reporting method used a system intended to minimize the 'personal equation'. In other words, a weighting factor was created to measure the probability of truth in each report. Smith explained that most UFO sightings fit into two general types: 'those about which we know something, and those which we know very little.' The PDF files include a copy of the Project Magnet report written by Wilbert Smith, including: The first page of the Project Magnet report at page 6781 of the PDF collection (i.e. Part 23, page 181 of 300).
Wilbert Smith is – to put it mildly - a controversial figure, discussed in dozens of UFO books (see Section G below for relevant references). For example, Timothy Good’s book “Above Top Secret” discusses Wilbert Smith at pages 178-184, 198-200 (in Chapter 8) of the Sidgwick & Jackson hardback edition (with the same page numbering in the Guild Publishing hardback edition and the Grafton paperback edition).
That and states that Wilbert Smith was senior radio engineer with the Canadian government Department of Transport at the time and a highly respected scientist who held a master's degree in electrical engineering and several patents. Similarly, Michael Strainic wrote a biography for the NICAP web site (2002) at: “For the most part, however, the picture is clear: Wilbert B. Wilbert Smith wrote quite a bit about UFOs. Some of his articles appeared in the Flying Saucer Review (“FSR”) magazine – including at the following references: Smith, Wilbert – Flying Saucer Review.
This document has previously been highlighted by some researchers (e.g. In various items by Grant Cameron, e.g.
This memo was also discussed by skeptic Christopher D Allan in his mentioned above. In that article, C D Allan suggested: “the Canadian authorities wanted to allow a period for interested parties to view the files before disposing of them; hardly the action of an authority intent on covering up important UFO data”. However, C D Allen appears to have misread the memo. He says the memo “down-classified the files to the 'confidential' level, adding that they would be made available to persons in a bona-fide organisation”.
In fact, the memo fairly clearly states that the material in the relevant file covers documents “relating to the studies behind project Magnet and, indeed, records much of the discussion in the Department of Transport surrounding project ‘Magnet”” and it this FILE which it was said should not be made available to the public at any time. The relevant documentation therefore went beyond the report itself but it was ONLY THE REPORT which that memo envisaged would be made available to some interested parties. Anyway, my point is merely to highlight that when considering partial extracts from the report presented by researchers, it is desirable to check the underlying document itself to see the precise wording of the relevant comments in their full context.
Above Top Secret
The purpose of making these searchable PDFs available is to make such checking easier and quicker. In any event, I found the memo interesting because it is yet another example of (unnecessary?) secrecy in relation to UFO studies. In relation to many of these UFO documents, an express or implied reason for the secrecy is to avoid faming the flames of interest in UFOs by giving any indication that any government agency has conducted any relevant investigation.
However, in virtually all such cases that motive for secrecy has proved to be counter-productive. Eventually, information about the study has been revealed along with material indicating that the government authorities wanted to keep the relevant material from the public.
This has fanned conspiracy theories in relation to government investigations into UFO reports. Secrecy in respect of UFO reports and investigations feeds allegations of a 'cosmic watergate' (a term used by some ufologists when alleging that Governments are concealing evidence of extraterrestrial visitors to this planet). Even the University of Colorado report on UFOs ('the Condon Report') contains fairly strident criticisms of secrecy in relation to ufo reports. The Condon Report is not generally considered to be biased in favour of ETH proponents. However, a section by Condon himself includes the following: 'It would have been wise to have declassified all or nearly all of the previous reports of investigations of flying saucer incidents.
But secrecy was maintained. This opened the way for intensification of the ‘aura of mystery’ which was already impairing public confidence in the Department of Defense.
Official secretiveness also fostered systematic sensationalized exploitation of the idea that a government conspiracy existed to conceal the truth.' The counter-productive nature of secrecy in relation to UFO investigations has been commented upon by various sceptics. For example, Carl Sagan has made the following comment in relation to the classification of UFO reports: 'The armed forces have a tendency to classify everything in sight. Then the fact that such cases are classified starts rumours. Somebody who is in a position to know realizes the Air Force does have relevant data; and it is just a short step to the idea of official conspiracy to suppress the truth.
Had the data not been classified, then independent scientific judgments would have been possible. In many cases, such independent scientific analysis would show that the cases have a natural explanation. The culprit is classification. I have a friend who says that in America today if you're not a little paranoid you're out of your mind. The military has a responsibility not to add further to the paranoia'. Carl Sagan in 'UFO's: A Scientific Debate' (1972) (edited by Carl Sagan and Thornton Page) at pages 273-274 (in Chapter 14) of the Norton paperback edition.
Similarly, Steuart Campbell (another UFO skeptic) has said: In general, governmental agencies do not have the skill or knowledge to explain UFO reports. But rather than admit this, they either offer ridiculous explanations or conceal information that would enable others to explain them. However, the secrecy involved gives the impression that something important is being concealed, fuelling the UFO myth. Governments are victims of their own preoccupation with secrecy.' 23 Steuart Campbell in his book 'The UFO Mystery Solved' (1994) at page 184 (in Chapter 12) of the Explicit Books softcover edition. It is ironic that a British Ministry of Defence report (“the Condign Report”) was itself kept secret for 6 years despite referring to a covert study group in the USA during the 1950s and commenting that 'the covertness of this investigation subsequently contributed greatly to charges of a government 'cover-up' (Volume 1, Chapter 1, page 1, para 2).
SECTION D: OTHER SELECTED PAGES One series of documents within the Canadian files relates to a report of a fallen “unidentified object” sent to Canadian authorities, with one of the more unusual explanations I’ve seen for such reports. Four pages from that series of documents are shown below (a to d). (a)Page 6621 (i.e.
Part 23, page 1 of 300 – ): Letter from witness stating that on 3rd August 1965 her son had been riding his bicycle when “an object fell from the sky barely missing him” and asking if the government could identify the object. Section E: Burnt by a UFO? The Falcon Lake incident As many of you may know Steve Michalak claimed to see, and be injured by, a UFO near Falcon Lake, Canada on 20 May 1967.
He claimed that a UFO landed near him in the woods, and that when he approached the object and touched it with his gloved hand, it soared away, its exhaust blast leaving a patterned burn on his abdomen and making him ill. This has become one of the classic cases in the history of ufology. This incident is Case 50 in my, since this case was referred to in 54 of the books covered by that article.
This incident also featured in a document (“the Rockefeller Briefing Document”) endorsed by Dr Mark Rodeghier (President of CUFOS), Richard Hall (Chairman of FUFOR) and Walter Andrus (President of MUFON) as containing “the best available evidence for the existence of UFOs”. The Falcon Lake incident has also been discussed in several threads on ATS (including and and has been covered in several UFO documentaries. Several relevant videos can be found on Youtube, including the following segment from the Unsolved Mysteries TV series.
The Falcon Lake incident was one of the UFO incidents investigated as part of the famous (or infamous) UFO study of headed by Dr Edward Condon of the University of Colorado in the 1960s. A member of the Condon team, Roy Craig, visited Canada as part of the investigation of this incident. As outlined below, the results of Roy Craigs’ investigation were detailed in. The Condon Report coverage does not refer to Michalak by name, but it is clearly. Roy Craig subsequently devoted a chapter (Chapter 2, i.e. Pages 14 to 27) of his own book to this incident. The relevant chapter can be read online – see.
Those interested can now read several sets of official Canadian documents relating to this incident. I have found two blocks of documentation relating to this incident, at URLs ending with numbers from (Page 5032) to (Page 5147) and from e002999671 (Page 7069) to e002999770 (Page 7163). (I have also seen a few documents relating to this incident scattered through the files).
Various press clippings appear in the Canadian files and give an impression of the public interest in this particular case: Page 5044 (e002749608). The undershirt shown in the bottom half of that page of Roy Craig’s own book is also discussed in the section relating to: The undershirt which Mr.
A presented had been ripped apart in front, where it was burned. It also carried a patterned burn centered high on the back, the pattern matching, according to Mr. A, the pattern of the UFO's exhaust openings from which the burning vapors had spurted.
A had been burned only on the abdomen, with slight singeing of the forehead. The reason for the presence of a patterned burn on the back of the undershirt was not obvious. The point made by Roy Craig in the Condon Report about the patterned burn being on the back of the undershirt when Michalak had only been burned on the abdomen obviously impressed him, given that he highlights this point again in his book. The disclosed Canadian files include several documents regarding radiation in relation to this incident, including the one below.
The includes two discussions of the radioactivity, including this section: Samples of soil and moss from the area, portions of the burned shirt, and a six-foot measuring tape which Mr. A had left behind were brought to city A. All three were radioactive. When sent to city B for analysis, they were found to be so strongly radioactive that the Radiation Protection Division of the Dept. Of Health and Welfare considered restricting entry to the forest area from which they allegedly were taken. A careful check of the site by a representative of this department revealed that the perimeter of the 'landing circle' and beyond were free of radioactive contamination.
According to his report: “A thorough survey of the landing area was carried out, using a Tracerlab SU14, Admiral Radiac 5016, and a Civil Defense CDV 700 survey meter. One small area was found to be contaminated. This was located across the crown of the rock. There was a smear of contamination about 0.5 x 8.0 inches on one side of the crack. There was also some lichen and ground vegetation contaminated just beyond the smear. The whole contaminated area was no larger than 100 square inches.
All water runoff areas were checked for possible contamination, but nothing was found”. No representative of an independent or official agency was present when the circular area alleged to be the landing site was rediscovered. In spite of an RCMP understanding with Mr. A that no evidence should be removed from the area should he relocate it, radioactive soil samples, (fortuitously selected from the small contaminated area), remnants of cloth, and the measuring tape were represented as having been removed from the area.
Why the cloth remnants and the tape were radioactive was never explained. While these items could have been contaminated by contact with the soil samples, reports received by the project indicated that the items were in separate plastic bags, and major contamination would not be expected. The partially-burned undershirt had earlier been found not to carry radioactive contamination. The tape would have been left some 160 ft. From the landing circle, in an area found to be free of radioactive contamination. Other individuals checked the site for radioactivity later.
One of these was Mr. Epp of city A, who searched the site in Fall of 1967 and found no radioactive material. At the project's suggestion, he had the records of the Dept.
Of Mines and Natural Resources searched for mineral claims in the area filed by Mr. This was requested because of the possibility that Mr. A had deliberately misdirected the earlier searches in order to protect mineral claims. Such claims were filed by him, but not until later in the Fall. The Condon project never received a final report of the analyses of the soil samples taken by the Dept. Of Health and Welfare. The origin of this material is therefore an open question.
Mysterious Universe
The made the following comments in relation to this booklet “This account differs in some aspects from Mr. A's original reports. In the booklet, for example, Mr. A is reported to have stuck his head into the open hatch of the 'saucer' and observed a maze of randomly flashing lights inside the craft. In earlier accounts, Mr.
A stated that he avoided going near the hatch and was unable to see inside it because of the brightness of the light coming from it. The account was chronologically jumbled, and showed a carelessness with fact.” The official Canadian files also include a multiple-page transcript of an interview of Michalak by the RCMP, the first page of which is shown below. Section F: UFO crash? The Shag Harbour incident The Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia incident occurred on 4 October 1967, involving claims that a UFO descended into the water.
The includes the following: The Shag Harbour UFO Incident was the reported impact of an unknown large object into waters near Shag Harbour, a tiny fishing village in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on October 4, 1967. The impact was investigated by various civilian (Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Coast Guard) and military (Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force) agencies of the Government of Canada. The RCN conducted at least one underwater search to attempt to locate the remains of any associated objects. The Government of Canada declared that no known aircraft was involved and the source of the impact remains unknown to this day. It is one of very few cases where government agency documents have formally declared an unidentified flying object was involved. This incident is the subject of a book entitled. It has also been covered in several threads on ATS (Jkrog08’s thread ) and in several documentaries.
Timothy Good Above Top Secret
Those documentaries include the History Channel’s documentary entitled “Canada’s Roswell” (which formed part of the 2006 season of the “UFO Files” series). SECTION G: REFERENCES The purpose of this thread is merely to highlight the fact that the archive of Canadian documents which I’ve previously outlined in another thread: Further details of many of the above issues can be found online and in various UFO books.

Timothy Good - UFO Authority Worldwide research, interviewing key witnesses and discussing the subject with astronauts, military and intelligence specialists, pilots, politicians and scientists, has established Timothy Good as a leading authority on UFOs and the alien presence - the most highly classified subject on Earth. He became interested in the subject in 1955, when his passion for aviation and space led him to read a book by Major Donald Keyhoe describing UFO sightings by qualified observers such as military and civilian pilots. In 1961, after reading a book by Captain Edward Ruppelt, a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, he began to conduct his own research. Since then, he has amassed a wealth of evidence, including several thousand declassified intelligence documents. Timothy Good has lectured at universities, schools, and at many organizations, including the Institute of Medical Laboratory Sciences, the Royal Canadian Military Institute, the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Naval Air Reserve Branch, the House of Lords All-Party UFO Study Group, and the Oxford and Cambridge Union societies. In January 1989, following the dissolution of the Soviet empire, he became the first UFO researcher from the West to be interviewed on Russian television.
He was invited for discussions at the Pentagon in 1998, and at the headquarters of the French Air Force in 2002. He has also acted as consultant for several U.S. Congress investigations.
He is known to millions through his numerous television appearances and has co-produced several documentaries on the subject. Timothy Good's first book, Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up (1987) became an instant bestseller, and is regarded widely as the definitive work on the subject, together with the fully revised and updated book replacing it, Beyond Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Security Threat (1996), which remained for five weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. Alien Liaison: The Ultimate Secret (1991) spent thirteen weeks on the same bestseller list.
Alien Base: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrials (1998) went to No.4 on the Guardian bestseller list. His book, Unearthly Disclosure: Conflicting Interests in the Control of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (2000) was serialized in the Daily Mail. He has also edited a number of books on the subject, including the bestselling Alien Update (1993). Four of these books have a foreword by Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the Defence Staff and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
Need to Know: UFOs, the Military and Intelligence (2006/2007) is now published in paperback in the U.K., U.S and Canada. Good’s latest work - EARTH: An Alien Enterprise – is due for publication by Pegasus Books (New York) in November 2013. Born in London, Timothy Good completed his formal education at The King's School, Canterbury. As a violinist he gained a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where he won prizes for solo, chamber and orchestral playing. His professional career began in 1963 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He played for fourteen years with the London Symphony Orchestra, and has freelanced with the English Chamber Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Mantovani Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra, among others.
Composers he has played for include Leonard Bernstein, Benjamin Britten, Igor Stravinsky and William Walton. He has also freelanced as a session player for television dramas, commercials, feature films, and recordings with pop musicians.
Among those he has recorded for are Phil Collins, Depeche Mode, George Harrison, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, and U2.
