CIRVIS = “Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings” — a Cold War-era military reporting protocol still active in Canadian airspace. 500+ reports across ~290 pages released via Canadian FOIA to VICE World News 2021. Key cases from the CIRVIS log: 2001 — Newfoundland police tracking two brightly coloured flying objects. 2009 — Alberta air traffic controllers spotted “solid bright light — appeared too fast to be any commercial aircraft.” 2011 — Manitoba police filmed “unidentified bright yellow and orange light” on dashcam. 2018 (April) — Cargo flight New York to Alaska: “reported an object flying sporadically… moving at Mach 4” over northern Canada. 2018 (December) — Passenger flight Alaska to Seattle: “pulsating lights descending from 60,000 feet.” 2021 — Canadian military flight spotted “bright green flying object — flew into a cloud then disappeared” over eastern Canada. CRITICAL FINDING: Civilian ufologist Chris Rutkowski had a quiet arrangement where Canadian military and Transport Canada were faxing him UAP reports directly. Some CIRVIS forms had instructions to fax copies to Rutkowski. This arrangement abruptly stopped in mid-2021 — exactly when the UAPTF was stood up in the US and UAP became a classified national security matter. “I have noticed an abrupt halt to my receiving of UFO reports through the Department of National Defence and Transport Canada,” Rutkowski said. Sky Canada Project (January 2025): Canada’s Chief Science Advisor released a new UAP report recommending creation of a new federal UAP body. 14 recommendations. 27% of Canadians in 2024 surveyed said they had observed an unidentifiable aerial object. 600-1,000 UAP reports per year in Canada.
