Canada's 2025 UFO Survey: 1,052 Reports Documented, Ontario Tops Sightings, and a Call for a Federal UFO Reporting Office

To the point

Leanne Sallenback helped document 2025’s 1,052 Canadian UFO reports for Ufology Research’s annual survey (with Tracy Orobko’s Sheridan Lake photographs) led by founder Chris Rutkowski, compiling data from Transport Canada, the National UFO Reporting Center, pilots, and social media to capture 1,006 witnesses across Canada; most sightings involved nocturnal lights (50.24%), the average sighting involved 1.72 witnesses and lasted about 47 minutes, and only 3.42% remained unexplained, with investigators stressing that “Unknown” does not equal extraterrestrial visitation as they consider flight paths, ISS activity, planetary alignments, rocket activity, and drones; Sallenback notes rising public interest and calls for a centralized federal UFO reporting office and more government collaboration, urging people in the South Cariboo and beyond to report unexplained phenomena at canadianuforeport.ca, noting that many sightings in places like 100 Mile House go unreported.
