Saskatchewan UFO Case from 1995
I was going through some old files and found a batch of cases reported online in an old NN news discussion group called Paranet. Among the hundreds of cases was this one, taken from an RCMP file and redacted by Mike McClarty, who was very active in Canadian ufology for many years. Not sure what happened to him after he retired, though.

Report - near Rosetown, Saskatchewan
The following is
a statement given by a witness to a UFO sighting near Rosetown,
Saskatchewan to an RCMP officer, and has been re-typed to as closely resemble
the original as possible.
Should any
investigators in the area of the sighting who may not be
aware of this,
wish additional information for follow-up, please
advise me by
e-mail at either: aw560@freenet.carleton.ca

deleted to avoid potential
pestering of reporting personnel
- although the
witness indicates the object made a 45 degree turn, I believe he may mean as much as 90 degrees,
since he stated that the object's turn was from either "north by
northeast" or from "northeast to northwest", which is
greater than 45 degs

On 95-01-29 at approximately 7 p.m. I was
heading east on my grid near my farm. As
we were driving home I noticed a flying object just to the south of the
grid. It was travelling in a north by northeast direction. It was
travelling very slowly for a flying object. The object then
proceeded in the direction at approximately 50 mph. This is very slow for a
plane to be travelling and it was only about 300 to 400 feet above the
ground. The object was flying over my uncle's cattle. The object was
followed by us and then it made a quick northwest direction turn.
The object continued to fly in that direction, but the turn was similar
to a 45 degree angle. This object flew off in this direction. I
figure we got to within about one mile away from it before it took off in
the opposite direction. I've never seen a plane do that sort of turn
before and I don't believe it could unless it flared up and this object
didn't flare up and turn. It is possible it could be a gyrocopter or a
helicopter, but the turn it made was too sharp for a copter, I feel.
Q. When/where
exactly did you see this object?
A. One mile
southeast of my farm on 95-01-29 at 7 p.m. We followed it east on my grid
one mile and we stopped and watched it. The object would have
crossed the grid I was on, right where I was sitting when I decided to watch
the object. The object then continued northeast for about one mile
and then it made its sharp turn and continued northwest.
Q. How long did
you see this object?
A. About five
minutes.
Q. Can you give
me a description of the object?
A. No, not
really. It had red lights, blue lights and white lights.
Q. How many
lights would it have had?
A. Six for sure,
two of each. The blue lights were flashing
irregularly.
Q. How bright was
the light?
A. Just like
regular aircraft lights.
Q. Any shape of
the object?
A. No, that's the
bad part.
Q. How many
objects?
A. One.
Q. Altitude of
the object was?
A. About 200
metres.
Q. What color was
the object?
A. I couldn't
make it out.
Q. Did it make
any sound?
A. I never opened
a window and it was too windy.
Q. What was the
condition of the sky?
A. It was clear,
but it was at dusk so we couldn't see stars yet.
Q. Who all saw
the object?
A. My wife
########################, my children. Also of course
myself.
Q. Anything else
that stuck out about this object?
A. We don't get
many planes that low at that time of day in this area. Also, the unusual
turn that this object made. It was like a 45 degree angle from
northeast to northwest.
