Summary

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.

Hello listeners. I have an interesting topic for us tonight, and it's one that's been playing out quietly, above us all.
