The former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer, called on governments, namely the US, to disclose information about increasing UFO sightings. While shocking to hear from a government official, in 2013, governments are not able to keep UFO sightings secret like previously done in the past. As pressure increases, blame is placed on current drone activity and missile testing.

CANADA

Paul Hellyer, an engineer and politician, spoke out in front of Congress and declared from his reports that there are alien species, four types specifically identified, different types have different agendas and that there are aliens living on earth right now.

The 2012 Canadian Ufology Survey released a report that revealed the number of UFO sightings across Canada doubled since the year before, now a record high of around 2000 sightings in one calendar year.

Mobile phone access reaches three quarters of the population. UFO sightings are captured in real-time and upload to numerous forms of social media as images or video. Activity has increased so much around the world that even airports have been shut down due to unidentified activity in the sky.

China closed the Xiaoshan Airport when a strange glowing object was spotted in the sky. Inbound and outbound flights were delayed for four hours. The residents of Hangzhou uploaded photos online of a hovering object covered in a golden hue and said the flying object emitted red and white emissions of light.

RUSSIA

Many UFO sightings in Norway, Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon and Jordan have been blamed on Russian missile testing. Italian astronaut, Luca Parmitano, captured an image from the International Space Station while his colleague, Mike Hopkins, tweeted that he “saw something launch into space today” and he was “not sure what it was but the cloud it left behind was pretty amazing.”

MEXICO

PERU

Due to “increased sightings of anomalous aerial phenomena” in Peru, the air force announced it is reopening the office responsible for UFO investigations.

Colonel Julio Vucetich, the head of the air force’s aerospace interests division told reporters that “many people don’t report UFO sightings” and declared that is because “they fear they will be labeled mad or made fun of, but nowadays with new technology, cellphone videos, Facebook, Twitter, they can be much more open, without feeling that they are the only ones who have seen what they’ve seen.”

USA

The National UFO Reporting Center in the US said UFO spottings increased 42 percent from 2011 to 2012. Drones are currently being blamed for the increase. The CEO of the drone consulting firm Unmanned Response, Tony Hallett, summed up the overwhelming response from the public as “they’ll see something flying around the neighborhood with an LED light on, and…it’ll be an unidentified flying object for them.”

Nobody can be quite sure about what they are seeing. They can however find comfort in fellow onlookers seeing the same sighting and capturing it from all angles. According to some governments and organizations, UFO sightings are increasing. As they flood the internet, the former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer, is joined by the citizens of the world, in waiting to hear disclosures from the US on the subject matter. Although, official statements from any government in the world are rare, the internet might create the right kind of pressure for a discussion.
