In recent years, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) have transitioned from the fringes of public discussion into a topic of serious international discourse. Documents like the recent Inquiry of Ministry response (Q-2934) shed light on Canada’s limited but notable involvement in these discussions within the Five Eyes alliance. This article examines the facts, raises key questions, and highlights the implications for experiencers and investigators.
The Meeting: Canada’s Participation
On May 24, 2023, the inaugural Five Eyes Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Caucus Working Group Meeting occurred. The event was hosted and organized by the United States, as confirmed in the Ministry’s response. While the meeting’s agenda and specific details remain under U.S. jurisdiction, it was revealed that two Canadian officials attended:
Â
1) A representative from the Royal Canadian Airforce
Â
2) A representative from the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command
Â
However, citing the Access to Information Act, the Canadian government withheld further details, emphasizing its role in safeguarding sensitive information that could pose risks to national security or defence if disclosed. Stating that disclosure could be injurious to national security and defence.Â
National Defence conducted a manual search of its records to determine if the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) participated in other UAP caucus working group meetings. The response confirmed no further participation by CAF members in subsequent discussions.
Key Questions for Experiencers and Investigators
The agenda, meeting details, and even the identities of Canadian officials remain undisclosed. Why is transparency limited, especially when UAPs are increasingly recognized as a global concern? Greater transparency could reassure the public and offer experiencers the validation and resources needed to understand their encounters better.
- Could the classified nature of these discussions indicate the presence of groundbreaking information?
- Why has Canada’s participation in the Five Eyes UAP caucus been minimal? Is this due to a lack of resources, prioritization, or something else?
- Does the absence of further participation indicate a shift in Canada’s UAP-related strategies?
- How does Canada’s participation (or lack thereof) align with the experiences of those reporting UAP encounters?
- Will Canada’s involvement in multinational discussions lead to more resources or support for experiencers?
Our Perspective
The Experiencer Support Association (TESA) has long advocated for a balance between national security and public transparency. We emphasize bridging the gap between experiencers and official investigations. Documents like this highlight the need for continued advocacy, as governments remain hesitant to share details that could provide clarity or support to those directly impacted by UAP encounters.
In the end, Canada’s participation in the Five Eyes UAP Caucus represents a significant step in multinational cooperation on this enigmatic topic. However, the lack of transparency and limited involvement leaves much to be desired. For experiencers and investigators, this is both a moment of progress and a call to action. By continuing to seek answers and advocate for transparency, we can ensure that UAP phenomena are addressed in a way that includes those who have experienced them firsthand.
