The Canadian military has confirmed it participated in a May 2023 forum for Five Eyes intelligence partners that was held by the director of the Pentagon’s UFO research program.
“Our nation’s militaries routinely exchange information on a number of subjects as part of our long-standing cooperation as partners in defence,” a Canadian National Defence spokesperson told CTVNews.ca. “While the details of the meeting remain classified it can be characterized as the sharing of information on the subject of UAP and no further details can be shared at this time.”
Following decades of denial and dismissal by U.S. authorities, both the Pentagon and NASA are currently studying what they call “unidentified anomalous phenomena” or “UAP,” terms for what are more commonly called “unidentified flying objects” and “UFOs.”
NASA held its first public meeting on UAP(opens in a new tab) last week, nearly a year after launching an independent study(opens in a new tab) into the subject. The 16-member panel included NASA experts and the director of the U.S. Department of Defence’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which was established in July 2022(opens in a new tab) to expand previous Pentagon UAP research efforts.
