In this video I talk about the wave of UFO sightings that happened across the Canadian prairie province of Alberta in 1967. This year was Canada's centennial year, and it had some major UFO incidents.

The Falcon Lake sighting on May 20 and the Shag Harbour incident on October 4 are Canada's most well known UFO encounters. Alberta also saw Canada's first reported "crop circles" near the town of Duhamel on August 5. Funny enough, 1967 also saw Canada open the world's first official UFO landing pad in the town of Saint Paul, Alberta. There have never been any recorded UFO landings at this pad, but Canada has had an incredible amount of sightings throughout the decades.

1967 was a busy year for UFO activity throughout the country, and Alberta definitely had enough reported encounters to fill up a video.

Here are some of the stories I cover in this video:

1 - On February 24 a 13 year old girl sees a UFO above her home in Calgary
2 - April 6 Edmonton airport radar tracks UFO for 2 hours
3 - May 7 14 year old Ricky Banyard tracks UFO for several hours over his neighborhood in Edmonton's south side. Tracks are later found on the road where the UFO's light beam had hit it
4 - A couple in the same neighborhood sees a UFO a few days after Ricky Banyard's encounter
5 - June 2 a pair of sisters see a white UFO hovering above a field near the Duhamel circles site
6 - July 3 a neighbor of the Duhamel circles site sees a multi-colored object rise up from her field and then fly away
7 - Also on July 3 a group of prospectors near Nanton see a large UFO that appears to drop something on the ground below
8 - August 8 David + Beryl Cahill photograph a UFO above their home in Edmonton
9 - Early September a farmer driving near Lethbridge hears a strange noise and then completely loses power in his truck
10 - September 18 fire lookout employee Russ Hill sees a UFO near his tower, and he has another sighting in early October from the same lookout site
11 - Nora Tibbs was driving on Highway 2 south of Calgary when a UFO moved over her car and she completely lost power in her vehicle
12 - October 13 a UFO followed a CNR train for several miles near the town of Mirror
13 - October 14 the RCAF announces interest in possibly sending a helicopter to investigate the July 3 UFO sighting near Nanton
14 - October 20 - 3 people see a large UFO flying over Airdrie
15 - October 31 - Lorne Grovue, one of the 3 prospectors that saw the UFO near Nanton on July 3, sets out to investigate the site to see if he can find the object he thinks he saw drop from the craft. Eventually a massive search ensues to look for Lorne, but he is found unharmed. He states that he saw strange lights in the sky and collected soil samples from a potential drop site

There was a fair amount of general interest in UFOs in Alberta in 1967, and I found a number of newspaper articles from that year talking about the subject.

In 1967 Edmonton had a UFO group that met at the Masonic Hall on 188 Ave, and Calgary's UFO group met at the Centennial Planetarium.

I hope you found this video interesting and informative, and if you'd like to watch more of my content in general please consider subscribing to my channel - I upload at least one new video per week.
