This is one of Canada's most well known sightings and I wanted to cover it on my channel for those who may not have heard of it.
On November 7, 1990 a guest in the rooftop pool of Bonaventure Hotel saw a UFO in the sky above the pool. This guest quickly notified lifeguard Line St.-Pierre. who would later produce a sketch of the craft. Line St.-Pierre notified the hotel security officer, who also saw the UFO. She also notified a local newspaper called La Presse.
Around the same time, about 1 km away, 2 more men saw a strange light in the sky above downtown Montreal.
Back at the hotel, security officer notified the Montreal Urban Community Police and attempted to make contact with the Dorval Airport (the line was busy).
After La Presse newspaper was notified by Line St.-Pierre, they sent journalist Marcel Laroche to the hotel. He saw the UFO as well, and he took pictures of the object with his personal camera. His pictures (although relatively unclear) would become key evidence in this case.
Another reporter at La Presse, Jules Belliveau, investigated the object at the hotel and confirmed the presence of the UFO.
Francois Lippe was the first police office on scene. he saw the object as well, and then notified his superior officer - Sergeant Robert Masson. Mason arrived on scene and clearly saw the UFO. he then notified the RCMP, who sent investigator Luc Morin to the hotel - he confirmed the presence of the object as well.
The police on scene contacted the Dorval Airport, the Mirabel Airport, and the St. Hubert military base, and they all claimed that they were not picking up any unusual activity over downtown Montreal.
Some people thought that floodlights at a construction site across the street from the hotel could be reflecting off clouds and causing this sighting. But the UFO remained in the sky after police ordered the construction lights to be turned off.
Cloud cover increased in the area over time, and by 10:15 PM the UFO could no longer be seen. At this point, the police and reporters left thew hotel.
Newspaper articles following the sighting caused widespread interest across Canada. In an article published by La Presse, the RCMP made a statement confirming the legitimacy of the event.
One of the 2 men who saw a the strange light over downtown Montreal about 1 km away from the hotel on the night of the sightings was named Bernard Guenette. He was a ufologist who was involved with MUFON, and following the sightings he collaborated with American ufologist (and NASA psychologist) Richard F. Haines to publish a report in spring of 1992 entitled "Details Surrounding a Large Stationary Aerial Object Over Above Montreal". In this paper Haines asserts that there was undoubtedly a large. dense object hovering over the hotel that night - although some people have questioned the conclusions he drew based on his photo analysis.
In 2008, Belgian ufologist Wim Van Utrecht posited that these sightings could have been caused by a rare optical phenomenon known as light pillars, although some disagree with this idea.
At any rate, this event became known as one of Canada's most well-known UFO sighting. It was commemorated with a $20 silver coin produced by the Royal Canadian mint in 2021 as part of their Canadian unexplained phenomena series.
