The truth is out there. And it may have zoomed over Winnipeg last month. Three air traffic controllers at Winnipeg International Airport were among the witnesses who reported seeing an unidentified flying object streak thorough the sky on March 28 about 9:45 p.m.
"I don't think this was the 5:15 from Mars on an approach, but certainly we have to classify it as unexplained. We don't have any evidence to classify this as an extraterrestrial. It's puzzling," said Chris Rutkowski, a Winnipeg UFO researcher.
Didn't appear on radar
Rutkowski interviewed the three air traffic controllers who saw the object.
"It sounded a little like an airplane ... but they were absolutely positive (it wasn't)," he said, adding the object did not appear on the airport's radar.
One eyewitness, who asked to remain anonymous, said the object looked like a bright red point of light travelling low in the southwestern sky.
"I don't particularly believe in Martians but I have an open mind. There is something else out there," the man said.
It seemed to be flying at more than 400 kilometres per hour from west to east, he added.
"It was kind of angling away," he said.
He watched the object for 30 seconds, until it imploded into a smaller white light then disappeared.
Another witness, who also asked not to be named, said he had no idea what the object was.
"I've seen a lot of things and we can't find an explanation for this," he said.
Rutkowski said there were nine reports of UFOs that were similar in description from across Canada that same night.
"So in this case, now we have very qualified multiple observers," he said.
There are about 700 documented UFO sightings each year in Canada, he said.
Rutkowski is hoping to locate more people who saw the object.

"No doubt, more qualified than you have seen objects that have not or cannot be identified."
It's just a shame that many make the giant leap from an UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object to one that they IDENTIFY as an extraterrestrial intelligently controlled object.
It's not a shame, it's human nature.
However, I wasn't referring to those types. I was referring to trained, credible professionals such as air traffic controllers, pilots, cops, doctors engineers etc.......

There are about 700 documented UFO sightings each year in Canada, he said. If they are undocumented, how does he know?

There's a lib at work who's frustrated --- He asks everyone "Did you vote for Bush?" And nobody admits it (except me).

...This is my biggest fear. Hillbilly Aliens. It would be depressing to drive through a trailer park and see a space ship up on blocks. "We're gonna resgister our mother ship in the next Monster truck reality event"...They're morons!!! Please, let them land, they might be here to get me out of this trailer...

"I don't particularly believe in Martians but I have an open mind . . . ," the man said. That's okay man. The Martians believe in you. And that's all that matters.
