Its stated boundaries excluded collecting first-hand sighting data, making the OCSA Canada's main reporting contact, or proving or disproving extraterrestrial visitors.[^1][^2][^4]\n\nThe report matters because it documents Canada's official contemporary review of UAP reporting and public-science recommendations. It found fragmented reporting across government and non-government channels, estimated 600 to 1,000 Canadian UAP reports annually, and described a 2024 survey in which one in four respondents said they had witnessed a UAP while many did not know where to report one.[^2][^5]\n\nIts recommendations point toward a lead federal entity, a dedicated public reporting service, stronger civil-aviation reporting, public communication, open access to UAP data, citizen-science tools, and international information sharing with organizations such as AARO, NASA, GEIPAN, and SEFAA.[^2]\n\nThe report also places Sky Canada in a longer Canadian record. It summarizes Project Magnet, Project Second Storey, the National Research Council's 1967-1995 public UFO reporting role, and the transfer of related records to Library and Archives Canada.[^2][^6][^7][^8]\n\nRead it as a policy and science-advice source: it does not settle specific cases, but it identifies what Canada would need to make UAP reporting more transparent, more scientifically usable, and less vulnerable to misinformation.[^2][^4]\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Sky Canada Project, Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/science/en/office-chief-science-advisor/sky-canada-project)\n\n[^2]: [Report of the Sky Canada Project: Management of Public Reporting of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in Canada](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/science/sites/default/files/documents/report-sky-canada-project.pdf)\n\n[^3]: [Government of Canada Publications catalogue record for the Sky Canada Project report](https://publications.gc.ca/pub?id=9.954480&sl=0)\n\n[^4]: [Questions and Answers about the Sky Canada Project](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/science/en/office-chief-science-advisor/sky-canada-project/questions-and-answers-about-sky-canada-project)\n\n[^5]: [Annual Report of the Chief Science Advisor 2024-2025](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/science/en/office-chief-science-advisor/annual-reports/annual-report-chief-science-advisor-2024-2025)\n\n[^6]: [Non-meteoric sighting reports gathered by the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics, Library and Archives Canada](https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Record?IdNumber=134925&app=fonandcol&ecopy=e011316514)\n\n[^7]: [Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics collection, Heritage Canadiana](https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_mikan_134925)\n\n[^8]: [Canada's UFOs: The Search for the Unknown, Library and Archives Canada](https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/ufo/)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[{"ref":{"type":"updates","slug":"2026-historical-corpus-expansion","title":"Historical corpus expansion and dossier deepening","url":"https://disclosdex.com/updates/2026-historical-corpus-expansion"},"direction":"inbound","weight":1}],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/links/sky-canada-project-final-report","title":"Sky Canada Project Final Report","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/links/sky-canada-project-final-report","license":"CC-BY-4.0"},"url_external":"https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/science/sites/default/files/documents/report-sky-canada-project.pdf"}
