The truth is out there, and it may even be somewhere over northern Saskatchewan. 

According to the Canadian UFO Survey, 1,131 UFO reports were officially filed in Canada in 2016, making it the fifth year in a row above 1,000 cases.

The survey was conducted by Manitoba-based Ufology Research, along with investigators and researchers across the country.

The research company even provided photos sent to them by Canucks who swear they spotted spaceships. 

A third of UFO reports were recorded during the summer with June, July and August combining for 37.7% of all cases.

Not surprisingly, the provinces with the largest populations also tended to have the most UFO reports, the survey noted.

Quebec posted the highest percentage of UFO sightings in the country with 38.5%, Ontario reported 26.3%, and BC was responsible for 17.2% of UFO sightings nationwide.

Broken down by city, Montreal came in first, with 73 sightings, while Vancouver came in second, with 70. Toronto rounded up the top three, with 65 sightings.

The top 10 cities in Canada for UFO sightings in 2016 were:

  1. Montreal: 73
  2. Vancouver: 70
  3. Toronto: 65
  4. Hamilton: 28
  5. Ottawa: 24
  6. Edmonton: 23
  7. Calgary: 18
  8. London: 18
  9. Quebec City: 18
  10. Winnipeg: 17
