Vice News reported that late on July 30, two pilots of separate aircrafts, one military and one commercial, reported that a mysterious green UFO disappeared into the clouds above the Gulf of Saint Lawrence off the Atlantic coast of Canada.According to an Aug. 11 report to Canada's aviation incident database (Canadian government), both flights saw a bright green flying object that "flew into clouds, then vanished." According to the report, the object didn't impact either flight's operations.One of the planes that reported sightings was a Canadian military aircraft, which flew from an Ontario base to Cologne, Germany. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight from Boston to Amsterdam was the passenger flight. Steffan Watkins (aviation and shipping researcher) looked at transponder data for both flights and found that the military plane had climbed 1,000 feet (390 meters) at the time of sighting. This could have been to either avoid the object or take a closer look, Watkins tweeted.It is possible that the UFO was a meteor streaking through space.Watkins said, "Yes, I know [the UFO viewing] occurred at the Perseid meteor shower's early stages," but he didn't say anything to make it sound like a buzzkill. The incident was tagged by the Canadian aviation report with the catchall "weather balloon meteor, rocket and UFO" but it is possible that a space rock could have been involved.Vice was told by a spokesperson for Canada's Department of National Defense that unlike the U.S. Defense department, Canada does not keep track of UFO sightings. There are still plenty of civilian UFO enthusiasts north of the border. In December 2019, a private collector donated more that 30,000 documents related to UFOs to the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, including documents on Falcon Lake, Canada's most famous UFO case. Live Science previously reported.In June 2021, Pentagon released a long-awaited document on over 140 UFO sightings made by U.S Navy pilots. Although the report stated that most of the UAP [unidentified air phenomena] reported likely do not represent physical objects, there is no evidence to suggest that aliens are responsible for any of these incidents.This is only the nine-page unclassified version of the report. The Guardian reported that some of the "juiciest details” in the report are hidden in a classified annexe, which the public will not see.Original publication on Live Science
