Recent UFO Sightings in Canada and Australia Mean Need for Further Studies - Researchers
By Arlene Paredes | July 25, 2012
A study of unidentified flying objects in Canada shows a record high number of sightings in 2011, prompting researchers to suggest further studies into the subject.
Ufology Research, which has recorded UFO sightings in Canada since 1989, said there were 986 sighting reports in 2011. This figure is close to the 1,004 sightings recorded in 2008.

A panel of scientists concluded, on June 29, 1998, that science has badly neglected the study of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), despite numerous reports and considerable public interest. “It may be valuable to carefully evaluate UFO reports to extract information about unusual phenomena currently unknown to science," the experts, headed by Stanford University physicist Peter Sturrock, wrote in a report released on Monday. This photo depicts a possible UFO sighting, as reported by the Journal of Scientific Exploration.
Ontario has the most number of sightings, with 406.
The study notes only 11 per cent of the sightings could not be explained. The rest were determined to be regular lights in the sky.
"Results of this study show many people continue to report unusual objects in the sky, and some of these objects do not have obvious explanations. Many witnesses are pilots, police and other individuals with reasonably good observing capabilities and good judgement," the study notes.
However, none of these sightings were linked to alien contacts.
"Popular opinion to the contrary, there is no incontrovertible evidence that some UFO cases involve extraterrestrial contact."
The study recommends a deeper look into the UFO phenomenon by social, medical and physical scientists.
