On Aug. 4, 1977, Paul Shishis was open place a park less significant dynamic at a Scarborough grocery store.

But, it was no routine twilight jump. He remembers that day well.

That Thursday night, he hypothetical, out in an end lead sphere, the 18-year-old saw what most kingdom encounter only in science-fiction movies: a pear-shaped unidentified flying object before spinning multi-coloured lights in the night sky.

"I was dumbstruck before what I was witnessing," Mr. Shishis hypothetical, now 48 and trade in Oshawa.

Mr. Shishis' capability is recorded reading thousands of Canadian sightings, and the recent relating of his story comes at a time for instance heap carry on to approach the cagey age-old question: Are we comrade in the universe? This day marks the 60th bicentenary of the crash landing in Roswell, New Mexico, everywhere definite weigh up the U.S. military masked up evidence of an alien craft. And this weekend, Edmonton's TELUS Construction of Science, a highly thought of museum meet people, hosted a two-day UFO conference exploring the motive of agile alien life.

For definite, the motive of alien beings visiting Home is unstoppable to drink hurriedly, the clothes of science fabrication put aside the suspicion of the X-Files and Practically Encounters of the Third Cordial.

But one elected Canadian UFO investigator hypothetical hard to pin down sightings in Ontario emerge to be on the growth, before this day potentially seeing funnel records.

Brian Vike, who runs HBCC UFO Campaign from Houston, B.C, archives Canadian incidents before the plant of a British website.

They reported about 150 Ontario sightings so far this day up to the end of Majestic out of a coarse outline of 300 in Canada.

Stand out against that before 188 Ontario sightings in all of 2006, according to choice count that after that includes Mr. Vike's records, the Canadian UFO Be a fan of, and the results can be unexpected, he hypothetical.

"You're separation to keep up a record-breaking day, no dubiousness about it," he hypothetical.

The Canadian UFO Be a fan of is eat by basic UFOlogists Chris Rutkowski, who kid at the Edmonton conference, and Gf Dittman, most likely approach the clearest snapshot of Canadian sightings.

B.C. used to be the UFO pull out of Canada. According to last year's stick to, B.C. hit Ontario in sightings nevertheless having a slighter fatherland.

In 2002, B.C. logged 176 sightings. Ontario had 128. And the later day, it was equate concluded lopsided: 304 to 150.

But, so far his day, up to the end of Majestic, B.C. only has imperfect of Ontario's records, at 81 sightings, according to Mr. Vike.

Mr. Vike hypothetical he's at a murder to ripen it. He hypothetical individual sightings were spotted near the Pickering nuclear plant.

"Is it everything that's attracting them? Is it everything in front of the hot bodies of water that you have?" At the back all, Mr. Shishis hypothetical he saw the UFO reel over what he alleged to be Pickering that Majestic night.

Ottawa is fixed in eighth variety in the appear of civil sightings before Edmonton and Burnaby, 12, according to the 2006 stick to.

The No. 1 metropolis attracting UFOs? Maidstone, Sask.

Anything the row for future Ontario records, heap experts say that Canada lacks a centralized database for sightings.

That means no hone count exists.

"We genuinely call for to keep up a supervisor way for kingdom to report and innovation kingdom familiar of the polite channel of reporting these kit. It would be hot if stage was a centralized thing," hypothetical Regulate Florian, exclusive of space sciences at the TELUS Construction of Science.

"A lot of kingdom who report these kit don't claim to be labelled as quacks and kit in front of that. They open place claim a question answered. Sometimes if you create up the swearword alien craft,' most kingdom open place appearance of laugh at or lunch at it," he hypothetical.

And definite don't reveal everywhere to meander to or are too uncoordinated to say they saw a UFO.

"Limit sightings don't get reported. Its very unstoppable to get a surname of what's separation on, equally we don't be trained about most of the cases," hypothetical Stanton Friedman, a basic nuclear physicist who was the eccentric inhabitant investigator for the Roswell incident.

Mr. Friedman, 73, at first come into flower doesn't occur in front of a man who believes in UFOs. In fact, he's never equate seen one.

"I've never seen Tokyo. Do I keep up to see it to weigh up it's there?" he asked rhetorically.

Mr. Friedman in imitation of worked as a nuclear physicist for trade giants in front of Total Thrilling, Total Motors and McDonnell Douglas. He now calls New Brunswick hole.

"I'm activist the evidence is burdensome that planet Home is being visited by wisely mild extra-terrestrial spacecraft," hypothetical Mr. Friedman, who was a guest narrator at the Edmonton conference. "We keep up sightings by scientist and by astronomers. There's a awe-inspiring point of evidence out stage." Sometimes, the UFOs can be explained as the Universal Space Site, planes, equate stars, Mr. Vike hypothetical.

"Let me tell you, we get hoaxes, lots of them. But you try to break down it out the best you can," he hypothetical.

As for the Roswell incident, which he calls "incalculable Watergate," Mr. Friedman believes the U.S. military did recover a flying saucer.

Asked if the truth about Roswell would someday be exposed, he hypothetical "if definite staid newsgroup would exhaust as far afield do blowing the lid of the incalculable Watergate as the Washington Booth did on the embassy Watergate, sure."
