Oval over Shuniah, ON · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside alone at my camp taking pictures of the northern lights. Nobody else was around/outside. Suddenly a extremely bright light appeared in sky that hovered silently in the sky on the border of the tree line and beach for approx 8 minutes. I looked away at one point for a brief moment and returned in the direction of the light and it had disappeared suddenly without any noise. I was able to take a picture. In the picture the brightest light in the sky is the object that I saw which appeared suddenly and and then disappeared. It was clearly visible with my eyes. The last picture shows the same area with no light prior to it appearing.

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.
