The Alberta UFO Wave of 1967

In this video I talk about the wave of UFO sightings that happened across the Canadian prairie province of Alberta in 1967. This year was Canada's centennial year, and it had some major UFO incidents.
The Falcon Lake sighting on May 20 and the Shag Harbour incident on October 4 are Canada's most well known UFO encounters. Alberta also saw Canada's first reported "crop circles" near the town of Duhamel on August 5. Funny enough, 1967 also saw Canada open the world's first official UFO landing pad in the town of Saint Paul, Alberta. There have never been any recorded UFO landings at this pad, but Canada has had an incredible amount of sightings throughout the decades.
1967 was a busy year for UFO activity throughout the country, and Alberta definitely had enough reported encounters to fill up a video.
Here are some of the stories I cover in this video:
1 - On February 24 a 13 year old girl sees a UFO above her home in Calgary
2 - April 6 Edmonton airport radar tracks UFO for 2 hours
3 - May 7 14 year old Ricky Banyard tracks UFO for several hours over his neighborhood in Edmonton's south side. Tracks are later found on the road where the UFO's light beam had hit it
4 - A couple in the same neighborhood sees a UFO a few days after Ricky Banyard's encounter
5 - June 2 a pair of sisters see a white UFO hovering above a field near the Duhamel circles site
6 - July 3 a neighbor of the Duhamel circles site sees a multi-colored object rise up from her field and then fly away
7 - Also on July 3 a group of prospectors near Nanton see a large UFO that appears to drop something on the ground below
8 - August 8 David + Beryl Cahill photograph a UFO above their home in Edmonton
9 - Early September a farmer driving near Lethbridge hears a strange noise and then completely loses power in his truck
10 - September 18 fire lookout employee Russ Hill sees a UFO near his tower, and he has another sighting in early October from the same lookout site
11 - Nora Tibbs was driving on Highway 2 south of Calgary when a UFO moved over her car and she completely lost power in her vehicle
12 - October 13 a UFO followed a CNR train for several miles near the town of Mirror
13 - October 14 the RCAF announces interest in possibly sending a helicopter to investigate the July 3 UFO sighting near Nanton
14 - October 20 - 3 people see a large UFO flying over Airdrie
15 - October 31 - Lorne Grovue, one of the 3 prospectors that saw the UFO near Nanton on July 3, sets out to investigate the site to see if he can find the object he thinks he saw drop from the craft. Eventually a massive search ensues to look for Lorne, but he is found unharmed. He states that he saw strange lights in the sky and collected soil samples from a potential drop site
There was a fair amount of general interest in UFOs in Alberta in 1967, and I found a number of newspaper articles from that year talking about the subject.
In 1967 Edmonton had a UFO group that met at the Masonic Hall on 188 Ave, and Calgary's UFO group met at the Centennial Planetarium.

Has anyone else out there had a UFO/UAP/ET encounter at some point in Alberta? I'd love to hear about it. Thanks for watching!

[@Siggi395]

I'm pretty darn sure I saw one in Edmonton about 3 years ago Oct 2 @11 am....the reason I know it was Oct 2,it was my sister's birthday and I just got off the phone to her and it happened one hour later. After the UFO went out of sight(it was travelling east) , my wife and I came out of the McDs(34 st. & 38 Ave) we were in, a squadron of 5 Jets flew in formation from the north to the spot where we first saw the object, which was near the airport. Almost seemed like the airport radioed Cold Lake AFB and asked for help. Absolutely true story.

[@strangenorth]

@@Siggi395 Wow that's wild, thanks for sharing! There are many reported cases where people report military aircraft in conjunction with UFO sightings. Fascinating how many sightings have happened around Edmonton over the decades. Cheers mate!

[@brucenadeau4248]

NOPE BUT I have had two around the same place in Northern Quebec!

[@strangenorth]

@@brucenadeau4248 Thanks for sharing, were they fairly recent sightings?

[@Siggi395]

@@strangenorth I'm going to say it was 2021...it was definitely Oct. 2. My sister's birthday. I should start... I'm a huuuuge believer... almost obsessed with them, but have never seen one until then. I'm constantly looking up in the sky.... but still. What did it looked like?.... Picture a picnic basket, the handle was rotating one way, the bottom was rotating the other way. At first I thought it was a helicopter(it was going about as fast) , but things weren't adding up, a 'copter blades would rotate, but not the bottom. I should add, it was a ways away, but I could still tell the movements it was making. I then when outside, but it went out of sight. Then I went inside into McDs, we finished our coffee and as we were going to my car, that's when the 5 jets flew by. I'm pretty sure there was no event that day to warrant a fly by. I went to a hobby shop to see how big a drone is.... the biggest drone was far too small. Weird.

My dad was a air traffic controller with Transport Canada and he used to work in Fort McMurray and Inuvik NWT. I remember him telling me and others on a few occasions radar would pick up unexplained aircraft regularly. In the early nineties he spotted a row of lights flying over Fort Mcmurray, he said radar didnt pick it up, but he watched them for about 5 minutes and reported it to Edmonton Center. He also said alot of UFO activity over Inuvik seen by pilots he knew well.

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for sharing that's interesting, I've actually heard quite a few stories over the years form air traffic controllers and pilots. Seems like it's pretty much commonly accepted knowledge in that industry. I'm fascinated by the topic and it's neat how much activity there has been in Canada over the years. Cheers mate!

My friend Kevin and I were walking across the pipeline in Royal gardens, this was in the fall of 1978. As we were walking across the grass from my friend's home towards my home which was straight across this pipeline, we looked Eastward where the pipeline stretches all the way to 111th Street. We both froze as we saw this giant sphere encircled by colored lights and a large glowing light sandwiched between two smaller ones. We watched the sphere hovering by one of our neighbors houses for about 5 minutes or so before. I told my friend Kevin to run into my house and grab my mom's Polaroid camera, as I was going to stay there to observe this craft. Moments went by and Kevin did not return with the camera and I was wondering what was taking him so long, I remember pointing at the craft and thinking to myself don't go nowhere. I'll be right back! As I ran into the house. I asked my mom where is Kevin in the camera? My mom replied you're not getting the camera and then I exclaimed there is a UFO outside practically on our doorstep. I asked where is Kevin? My mom looked at me and said he's hiding under your bed. After hearing this, I ran and grabbed my dad's binoculars and quickly ran outside back to the pipeline to observe this strange event. As I got back outside the craft was gone and I stood there looking at the stars but there was no sign of it, so I went back inside and I went to find my friend Kevin. He decided to go to his place afterwards to watch some movies and as we were hanging out we both noticed on the side of our Temple we had the exact same scar. We really don't know what happened. Well we watched this craft for those moments, later on I had some visitations that were unexplainable and for the longest time I was always afraid as if somebody was watching me. We both experienced lost time that night and a chilling feeling that would not leave us, not until many years later when I had a final experience with some grays when I was working as a teacher in lacombe, Alberta in 1996. But that's another story all together.

[@aprilY619]

[@troytromwell]

Wow!

[@angiedjenkins5570]

Reality is stranger than fiction. Fortunately or unfortunately this was a true event when I was 11 years old. 1977, and I've seen many, many unexplainable things ever since then. Nothing seems to surprise me anymore.

The Drake equation leads one to believe between 23-36 intelligent species occupy the Milky Way. I'd love to learn how these visitors have conquered space time. FTL travel, worm holes, dimensional travel? Heck, the visitors may be out of galaxy for all we know. Hoping James Webb discovers GHGs on a planet soon.

[@strangenorth]

When I was younger I always wondered why there was a stigma around believing in intelligent life out there in the universe, it seemed a given just given the vastness of space. It also seems probable to me that there are intelligent civilizations out there that have advanced millions of years beyond human technological capabilities. Thanks for watching!

Fascinating video! Have you ever heard of Dr. Steven Greer? He does this “C5” thing where he gathers people in the US to do this meditation called “merkaba” (the hebrew word for chariot in Kabbalah) and they contact these orbs. Many people believe that these objects and entities are inter dimensional, and not from other planets millions of light years away, which I agree with.

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

Greer's credibility is VERY questionable.

[@shelleygiesbrecht4759]

@@gorgeousgeorge5173 For the most part, I agree. His whole demeanor is unsettling, and one gets the impression that he’s not being up front with a lot of his claims. However, I have come across many others who also claim, based on their own experiences, that these entities are “spiritual” in nature (quantum) and not merely material.

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

@@shelleygiesbrecht4759 I WANT to believe him. But so many holes and as you said, a gut feeling he's a fakir.

Thanks for watching, I find this story fascinating. Yes, I'm familiar with Greer and the idea that some ETs and possibly their craft are interdimensional/spiritual/ethereal in nature and not comprised of the same physical structures that humans are familiar with. Hard to say what's true ultimately. I definitely think that a lot of the UFOs we see on earth are definitely not manned by biological organisms - just because these UFOs often move in a way that would cause damage to biological organisms, at least the way we currently understand them. Cheers!

There used to be a web page called the Alberta UFO Study Group. The site was closed about 10 years or so ago now. People were able to upload their sighting on there where anyone could read them. There was at least 1 sighting uploaded once a week, and most was around Calgary. Some hunters also talked about coming across a deer that was mutilated further north of edmonton. A professor from UofC, who was also a mufon investigator, owned that site. Not sure what happened with it.

Re the sighting in Edmonton at Mount Pleasant graveyard on May 8, 1967: I was 14 at the time. I lived in this area on the south side and used to take a shortcut through the graveyard to and from school. I noticed the burned markings on the top of the hill that weren't there the day before. Unfortunately later on Ricky Banyard retracted his story as fake. I don't know if he was coerced to say that or if it was real. It felt real to me at the time.

​@@strangenorthHis sister told me that when I asked her about it a few years later. Ricky's family is JW so I figured that might be the reason or maybe they didn't believe him? I moved to BC in my mid 20's so I lost touch. That graveyard was wall to wall traffic of lookyloos for months afterwards lol. When I saw it, the charred marks on the top of the hill fanned out from a center. Later it was claimed that this was just charred rocks under the gravel being exposed, but if so, something made them exposed as it wasn't like that the day before.

1967 I was 5 years old living in Oyen Alberta. I was standing at the living room window I was staring at a bright light in the sky to my right. As I was staring at the light something appeared in the living room window right in front of me After that I had trouble sleeping for quite a while. My mom had to take me to doctor get sedities to sleep. I was having problems and my mom took me to doctors to find out what was wrong. I ended up going to Alsask Saskatchewan radar station I talked to a man he asked me questions how to spell my name He had shown me ink blots and asked what I saw. I ended with drawing him a picture of what I saw I drew the window and the light but didn’t know how to draw everything because I was to young. Still wonder about what happened

I'm from lethbridge and I'm Blackfoot and the land here lays on one of the spiritual leylines or a point where they all meet and it is by drumheller maybe that could be a reason

@strange north yup i was on the way to mc donalds at like 12pm i walk outside and saw three spots of light in a triangle they looked like stars. after i thought thats weird three stars in a triangle they moved then i saw a green and red orb darting through my neighbors back yard followed by the triangle of stars splitting on blinked out right away the other on stayed in place while the other one flew off to the middle of the sky it started blinking in and out in and out and then faded away after that i saw a cigar shaped object hover across my street with a red orb on top of it i turned around and saw a car in the middle of the street and he speed off i was with my brother when this happened after a few moments of observing this weird thing no windows just a hunk of something in the sky no sound a helicopter came and chased it ps Edmonton Alberta. previously my dad was out and barbecuing said he saw a red orb i told him its probably just a drone 30 mins later i came out to check up on him and we both saw a red orb though at first i kinda thought nothing of it as my dad and myself do like watching alien shows and i always thought id never see something crazy or out of the ordinary. also 2020 ish i think or 2021 can exactly remember!

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - always cool to hear about people's personal experiences. That sound wild! Was that in Edmonton?

I actually visited the site for the first time last fall, pretty cool - I want to go back this summer because when I was there the visitor center at the landing pad was closed for the season. Thanks for watching, cheers mate!

[@evangoucher783]

In 1967 open pit mining of oil sands started, maybe that has something to do with it?

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - your guess is as good as mine, and I've started looking at other years to see if they had close to the same amount of UFO activity. Cheers!

[@Skoden_lures]

My parents saw one around that year just outside of New Norway or Bittern lake. I don't recall which.

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - interesting, did they talk about that often? Cheers mate

Come on, Alberta has a town named Vulcan… That’s got to tell you how much history Reid must have lol

[@strangenorth]

You know what it's funny you mention that - I'm going to take some video of Vulcan when I pass through to visit this really cool archaeological site in Southern Alberta this summer. I would love to attend their annual Star Trek festival one year too. Cheers mate!

im from central cape breton island. i jus uploaded a video of some lights in seent in the sky the other day on my channel . triangle formation n stuff

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - cool I appreciate the info dude, I subscribed to your channel and I'll check that out. Always like seeing stuff from across this massive country of ours. Cheers mate!

[@johnshields6852]

They've been in our skies since the begining and we still don't know who or what they are, that's not easy to do, obviously their tech is way beyond us, probably by millions of years in some cases, their probably many species from different eras themselves, evolving from different times in the distant past.

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I agree, I think it's possible that there could be multiple civilizations out there in the universe that are millions of years more advanced than us. I also think most of the UFOs people see are not manned by biological organisms. Cheers mate!

They are not what people think they are .

[@alexsetterington3142]

Wow, very mysterious!

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - seems like there is a debate over the nature of these things. Some people think they are physical craft and others speculate they may be more spiritual/ethereal in nature. Not a lot of tangible evidence to work with but a ton of solid eyewitness accounts. Fascinating subject to me, cheers mate!

[@truthhasnoagenda3785]

@@strangenorth for me there's no debate. People need to see how deep the deception is. Almost from birth we are taught lies. The people telling us the lies believe it to be truth. If people really take a step back and challenge their own beliefs you'll see the world is not what it seems. But I digress

[@wendellswendell2001]

As we got better at detecting, they got better at hiding themselves😮

[@strangenorth]

Interesting perspective, I wonder at times if they have the ability to avoid being photographed somehow. As if they can detect when cameras are present so they can avoid them. Who knows. Thanks for watching!

[@wendellswendell2001]

@@strangenorth we can only guess until we get some scientific evidence.

[@dangauvreau9049]

Many new narrations state they are coming from under water/earth.
