The 2025 Canadian UFO Survey (with Chris Rutkowski)

/

In 2025, more 1052 UFO sightings were reported across Canada, an average of one every eight hours.

In this episode, we are joined by Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski to break down the findings of the 2025 Canadian UFO Survey, an annual report that collects and analyzes sightings from civilians, researchers, and government sources to better understand what people are seeing in Canada’s sky.

The discussion unpacks the common characteristics such as colour and shape, where reports are coming from, when they are most commonly seen, why Nova Scotia stands out, notable cases, and how things like satellites, drones, and social media are changing what we think of as a UFO.

Obama, Trump, The American UFO Files, and Witness Reports of UFOs Above Canada

/

In this episode, we break down a truly unexpected UFO story. A recent interview with former U.S. President Barack Obama ended with a rapid-fire round of questions, and one of them, about the existence of aliens, set off a strange chain reaction. The moment quickly spiraled beyond the interview itself, leading to current President Donald Trump announcing a full release of government files on UFOs, and even resulting in Hillary Clinton being asked about the topic during a deposition connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

In the episode’s second act, we dig into a collection of listener-submitted UFO sightings from across Canada. The stories include two mysterious cylindrical objects appearing over Alberta, a triangular craft spotted in the sky above Ontario, and a strange, deeply spiritual encounter reported in British Columbia.

UFOs Above Canada - News and Witness Reports - December 2025

/

In UFOs Above Canada, we are joined by Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski for a wide-ranging conversation about UFO news, history, and eye witness reports.

In this episode we break down two major Canadian UFO news stories, including the announcement of an upcoming auction featuring a sizable and historically significant UFO document collection, and a strange August UFO event that was witnessed by people across large parts of eastern Canada.

We also turn our attention to several listener-contributed UFO sightings from across the country. From puzzling lights to a bizarre burnt circle in the grass, Chris offers his expert insight while we explore what might be behind these reports and why they continue to capture the public imagination.

The Summer of UFOs: Canada’s 1975 Wave (with Chris Rutkowski)

/

In the summer of 1975, Canada experienced one of its most intense and widespread waves of UFO activity. From glowing orbs lighting up the skies over Manitoba to structured craft witnessed by RCMP officers in Saskatchewan, hundreds of reports flooded in from across the country. Some sightings even left behind scorched earth and damaged vegetation—tangible traces of something unexplained.

In this episode, we’re joined by Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski, who has spent decades cataloging and analyzing reports like these. Together, we explore the most notable cases from that summer, dig into the official government documentation, and ask the big question: what was really happening in Canada’s skies during Canada’s summer of UFOs?

Edwin Fuhr and the 1974 Langenburg, Saskatchewan UFO Event

/

Langenburg, SK - Sept 1974

Saskatchewan farmer named Edwin Fuhr claimed to have witnessed something extraordinary—five metallic, saucer-shaped objects hovering over his field. As he watched in stunned silence, the objects spun rapidly, emitted a grey vapor, and then shot off into the sky without making a sound. What remained were five mysterious circular imprints in the grass—physical evidence that even an RCMP investigation couldn’t explain.

Nearly 50 years later, the Langenburg UFO incident remains one of Canada’s most compelling unexplained encounters. What did Fuhr really see that September morning?

In this episode we are joined by Canadian UFO researcher and writer Chris Rutkowski to explore the sighting, the investigation, and the broader implications on UFO history.

Canada Gets Serious About UFOs - the Sky Canada Project Report Preview (with Chris Rutkowski)

/

In this episode of Nighttime, we examine the newly released preview of the Sky Canada Project, an initiative led by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada to review how Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs/UFOs) are reported, analyzed, and understood.

Joining Jordan is renowned UFO researcher and science writer Chris Rutkowski, who served as a consultant for the project. Together, they unpack the key findings of the report, discuss the surprising gaps in Canada’s approach to UAPs/UFOs, and explore the recommendations that could transform how we study this mysterious phenomena.

Canada is getting very serious about UFOs.

The 1970 Duncan, BC UFO Incident (did a UFO hoax get commemorated on a Canadian coin?)

/

Duncan, BC. New Years Day 1970. Just before dawn.

Doreen Kendall, a nurse at the Cowichan Hospital, wanted to open a window and get some fresh air in a patients room. As the curtains parted, a blinding light being projected from an object hovering just outside the window froze her dead in her tracks. The beings she claimed to see operating the object, they changed her life forever.

In the case of the Duncan UFO Incident, the story doesn't end there. The royal Canadian mint just released a coin commemorating this event, which leads us to the latest Incident in the story of the Duncan UFO Incident.

A local 81 year old man came forward and revealed what he claims to be the true story of what happened... and if you believe him, it was a simple hoax that went much further than anyone planned.

Tonight, in this episode, UFO researcher and writer Chris Rutkowski and I are going to attempt to understand the 1970 Duncan, BC UFO Incident.

the US Congressional Hearing on UFO/UAP

/

We are going to do something I rarely do.... Cross the American border.

Given this series title UFOs above CANADA and Nighttime’s tag line CANADIAN crime, mysteries, and the weird this is clearly a unique situation.

Just last week, three former American military officials revealed in a congressional hearing that they believe the American government is covering up the recovery of a downed extraterrestrial spacecraft and the non human biological materials it contained.

In this episode we are joined by UFO researchers Martin Willis (who attended the hearing) and Chris Rutkowski.

Two Halifax Police Officers and a UFO (with former Cst. Rick Prescott)

/

In June of 1997 two Halifax Regional Police officers took a break from the action to have a coffee and catch their breath.

They pulled into a dark lot behind a Tim Hortons, pulled their cruisers window to window, and began to chat... unaware their lives were about to change forever.

Within warning an object appeared in the sky that they have been trying to explain for over 25 years.

In this episode I'm joined by Rick Prescott, formally Cst. Prescott of the Halifax Police, to tell us about the two Halifax Police officers and the UFO.

UFOs Above Canada - the St. Paul, Alberta UFO Landing Pad

In this episode Chris Rutkowski and I discuss one of Canada's many UFO secrets.

This isn't one of those secrets anyone is trying to keep though...

I'm sure the town of St. Paul, Alberta would love to have the world find out about their unique contribution to Canada's UFO history.

Many Canada's may be unaware that back in 1967, the mayor of St. Paul Alberta decided to have the world's first UFO landing pad built and the monolithic concrete structure still stands today... waiting to it's first arrival.

In this episode of Nighttime our topic is the St. Paul, Alberta UFO Landing Pad

UFOs Above Canada - Chris Rutkowski on being the Canadian Government's UFO guy

/

In all my time of knowing Chris Rutkowski he never mentioned to me that the Canadian Government's official process for the handling of UFO reports includes him. A strange relationship that only became public as a result of Freedom of information requests by journalists and civilian investigators.

In addition to all that he has a new book 'CANADA's UFOs Declassified' to tell us about and we have a recent instance of UFOs being brought up by a member of Parliament during hearings in Ottawa to break down.

In this episode of Nighttime, Chris Rutkowski and I get in to all of it.
