The Transport Canada
incident of July 27, 2022, at 2131Z (4:31 pm local time)
Although occurring on July
27, 2022, a CADORS report was made public on February 2, 2023 by Transport
Canada regarding a UFO incident near Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario.
CADORS report 2022O3179 notes:
A member of the public reported seeing an object that could not be
classified as a fixed-wing rotary wing aircraft, a drone, nor any type of
lighter-than-air aircraft. It was over Kitchener, apparently north of Fairview
Park mall, moving silently and rather slowly from around 050. It then made a
wide right turn to a heading around 020, and crossed the approach flight path
to Runway 08 at the Kitchener/Waterloo, ON (CYKF) aerodrome, an obvious hazard
to an incoming aircraft. It maintained the heading of 020 until it was too far
to see. At all times, it remained below cloud base. As it was receding, a small
single-engine plane, a high-wing monoplane with tricycle gear on a heading of
approximately 090, appeared to pass relatively close to this object.
According to the CADORS
information provided, photographs of the UFO were taken but were not included
in the report.
The report came from a
member of the public and not through Transport Canada or Nav Canada, as do most
CADORS reports. It was therefore in the opinion of the witness that object
could not be explained, not in the opinion of aviation authorities.
As this report was not
made public until 2023, it could not be included in the 2022 Canadian UFO
Survey but is noted here as information.
