Edmonton's fascination with flat, round objects doesn't stop with pizzas. Sure, the city came in eighth in the battle for the world's best pizza, but the
Canadian UFO Survey released this week says Edmonton had the fourth-highest sightings of UFOs of any city in Canada. The city followed Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
Among the provinces, Alberta also came fourth. Of
Canada's 1,267 sightings in 2015 - the second-highest number on record-, Quebec had a whopping 450 , Ontario 314, and 224 in B.C. By comparison, wild rose country had a paltry 101 reported UFO sightings last year.
(Apologies for the language in the following videos.)
Edmonton's 36 UFO reports included orange and green orbs, blinking red and white and fuzzy lights moving across the sky, a "large blurry cloud," and a "bright round light," moving slowly, which "seemed to flatten in shape." On May 12 last year, a "large green fireball" broke into six pieces and mysteriously disappeared in the city. About a month later, on July 20, "several discs" in the sky "appeared to change colour and come in and out of focus." That report was one of only a handful accompanied by photos or video.
