The Canadian government has made available 9,500 files on UFO sightings and direct government actions related to national policy concerning craft of unknown origin. These once-restricted and secret files originate from the Department of National Defense, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Department of Transport and the National Research Council. These files describe thousands of Canadian UFO sighting reports in great detail. Although the UFO files compiled by high level government officials provide an interesting chronology of Canada's accumulation of UFO sightings, many of the files also tell a dramatic story about how high level government officials orchestrated meetings, agendas, memoranda and Ministerial letters designed to play-down and ultimately cover-up the UFO issue with measures similar to those used by the American government.
A group of UFOs has been photographed hovering over London by Google Street View.
Nine mystery silver discs can be seen above a bookmaker's shop in an image of Bethnal Green, east London, taken last year.
They appear to be flying in neat formation in three rows, attracting the attention of several passers-by, in the photograph of Wolverley Street.
One man can be seen craning his neck to look at the unidentified objects passing overhead as he strolls down the road.

According to a number of visitors to Rendlesham Forest, bears are roaming the Suffolk countryside.
At least three people claim to have seen the grizzly beasts in the forest within the last week, although bears are not native to Britain.
Bizarre sightings are nothing new to the site which is a favourite among conspiracy theorists after UFOs were supposedly spotted there in the 1980s.
One of those who saw the creature is Jenny Pearce who said: "I was on the green at Rendlesham Forest having a picnic with my three-year-old son and his friend's family.
"After the picnic we stayed to play and explore the woods. While we were in the forest I saw a large animal moving through the trees ahead.
If the fireball and explosion witnessed by residents along the mid-Atlantic coast Sunday night was a meteor, it's likely that it survived to hit the ground, an astronomy expert says.
The explosions occurred one to two minutes after the fireball disappeared, which means that a meteor penetrated deep into the atmosphere, said Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky and Telescope magazine. That makes it more likely that meteorites survived to hit the ground, although it is not certain.
MacRobert encouraged eyewitnesses to report what they saw at American Meteor Society, or at Spaceweather.com. Scientists can predict where to look for meteorites on the ground "if enough people can accurately reconstruct the flight path that they saw in the sky, or if they can simply say 'It went behind that tree,' " he said.
S. Kent Blackwell, an amateur astronomer, was sky-watching in Pungo when the explosion occurred around 10 p.m. Sunday.
"This brilliant green meteor was probably two or three times brighter than the full moon," Blackwell said. "Then it turned orange with a white core and disappeared."

Kasilof has no shortage of unusual characters and strange happenings, but earlier this month some odd lights in the night sky were not just reported, but also photographed by a local woman.
"It was on (March 14) when I first witnessed them," said Kristy Leslie, who lives in the Irish Hills subdivision of Kasilof.
The lights she saw were not on an extraterrestrial craft, rather they were on helicopters, but ones unusually adorned with illumination.

On March 11, 2009 Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research posted a "report" on tracks/large footprints that were found in Moricetown, British Columbia by Melvina Nazeil. I ran out to the area, met Melvina and was shown the tracks in the snow. For me, there was no doubt in my mind that something large and unusual traveled through her Mother's property. Photos were taken, also a hair and blood sample collected from the scene.
Thank you to Barb Campbell, (UAD Research) the hair sample results are in. Barb did up a good report on her findings which identified the hair belonging to a Moose. I did mention this in my written report, that maybe the hair came from a Moose, but still I had no fact to say this was so and this had to be checked out in case it did turn out to be a hair from something else.

A second witness has come forward from Ohio with a similar report after a March 28 sighting there.
We previously reported that an Ohio woman watched "unusual lights" in the sky March 28 at 3 a.m. She said the lights were rotating on a horizontal axis and were red and green. They were similar to chaser lights, she said, and blinking about 120 times per minute. While the disc-shaped object appeared to be hovering just above I-75, it then slowly descended behind some hills.
The second witness described a similar object on the same date, but between 9 and 10 p.m. - 18 hours after the first sighting. She described the object as rounded, with three lights.
The two witnesses are in different Ohio towns.
In Virginia on March 29, two different witnesses from the Chesapeake area reported a flash in the sky followed by a loud "boom" sound.
In Washington, a witness reported that on March 8, he saw a cigar-shaped object in the distance over wooded hills. "It was not the typical fat stogie-like cigar shape," the witness stated, "'but rather a long silver colored tube with edges rounded in front and back. I could also barely make out two small blotches of red at even distances from the front and back."
In Maryland on March 29, a witness reported a baseball-sized fireball with a bright green flame.
