As reported

Triangle over Ottawa (Canada), QC · Canada

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

On Friday August 17th, at 8:30 pm, I saw 2 black objects slowly moving from cloud to cloud in the northwest sky over Quebec near the Ottawa River. I have seen several different ufos in this area over the years, as others have as well, but most could not be seen well with the naked eye these though were big enough to actually see without binoculars or the camera. Looked as if one very well could have been a black triangle and one seemed elongated first time I have seen these types. They went from cloud to cloud in a small area, passing each other a few times. I will try to post both videos. No sounds. The triangle seemed to be venturing south further out than the rest for a minute then pulled up back into the clouds too. There could have been more than 2 but I only saw 2 at any given time. The incident lasted for about 7 to 10 minutes before they disappeared into the clouds then it got too dark to see.

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

Canadian military and radar records answer to the Access to Information Act; historic UFO files are held by Library and Archives Canada. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
