Drones Causing Worldwide Spike In UFO Sightings

     There was once a time when UFO sightings turned out to be easily identified objects like weather balloons, lenticular clouds, satellites, meteorites, planets, conventional aircraft, weather anomalies and other normal things.

Now, here come the drones, the newest addition to the growing list of misidentified things in the sky that many people claim are ships from another part of our galaxy. (Watch the HuffPost Live video below)

Here's the big problem with all of this: Not only do these unmanned objects look like UFOs or flying saucers, a lot of them are deliberately and inexpensively created to look like UFOs or flying saucers.

From a "flying saucer" drone created by a Canadian science center to deliberately fool people at a baseball game (see image above), to a news agency's hovering, camera-mounted craft observing a large crowd of protestors in Moscow, drone technology is used for military purposes as well as consumerism trickery.

CORRECTION: Upon looking back at the HuffPost Live video interview at the top of the story, this reporter discovered that he gave an inaccurate statement about UFOs. He said, "Literally, 4 to 5 percent of every UFO sighting or report can be easily explained if you give it a chance to be explained." What he meant to say (and thought he said) was that 4 to 5 percent of UFO reports can't be easily explained. Those are figures that have stood the test of time ever since the U.S. Air Force ended Project Blue Book -- its more than 20-year study of UFOs -- in 1969. Your reporter regrets the slight error.

UFO Sightings Soar in Manitoba, Across Canada

      More Manitobans are spotting unexplained objects in the sky than ever before.

An annual UFO survey released this week by Winnipeg-based Ufology Research, shows record-breaking UFO sightings in the province last year. There were 124 in 2012, compared to 81 the year before.

The only other time the number of sightings surpassed the 100 mark was 112 in 2004, according to the Ufology group, which has collected data for 24 years.

A similar trend is happening across the country, with a record numbers of UFOs reported in all provinces except Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island.

The total number of sightings in Canada for 2012 was 1,981, far exceeding the previous record of 1,004 in 2008.

Ufology Research director Chris Rutkowski said the spike could be due to better Internet access or military exercises in populated areas. . . .

Record number of Canadians report UFO sightings in 2008

People Looking Up

     More Canadians than ever saw something unexplained up there last year.

The Ufology Research Group says in 2008, Canucks saw a record number of unidentified flying objects across the Great White North.

The Winnipeg-based volunteer group recorded 1,004 sightings last year – the highest number since the group started tallying sightings in 1989.

"My position is there is something that is being seen by people," research coordinator Chris Rutkowski told the Sun today. "There's no proof that aliens are coming to Canada in any great numbers but what we're saying is that there are enough reports and many of them are unexplained so we think science should take a better look at it."

There could be a variety of reasons why reports are up, Rutkowski said, including more space junk, more people embracing astronomy and even the economic downturn.

"It could be the economy, maybe people are looking upward for some help in the economy since it doesn't seem like anybody else is helping," he said.

Rutkowski says the vast majority of sightings turn out to be explainable objects like airplanes but around 10% didn't have a ready explanation.

"That got whittled down to a little over 1% that are what we call higher quality unknowns where there was some decent investigation, the witnesses were cooperative, some diagrams, maybe some photos," he said.

The strangest sighting of the year was in Wadena, Sask., in March.

Two cars travelling on a highway there had to brake suddenly when both drivers saw a gray and metallic object fly directly across the road in front of them.

"Maybe the aliens have to be ticketed for flying too low? I don't know," Rutkowski said with a laugh.
