If you're in Toronto, join @chrissynewton and yours truly on Dec. 3 for a fireside chat on UFOs...🍁❓🔍
🛸 LET’S TALK UFOs | THE EDGE OF US x PLUTO
What do we really know about UFOs, and what remains unexplained?
Join journalists Chrissy Newton and Daniel Otis for an evidence-focused conversation exploring Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs/ UFOs), from Canadian military encounters to government investigations and the growing global conversation around national security and intelligence.
🇨🇦 From the Yukon object shot down by the Canadian military in 2023 and the disputed “Pac-Man” UFO photograph reportedly circulated among Canadian defence officials, to UAP reports near nuclear facilities, we’ll dig into notable cases, the available evidence, and the questions that remain unanswered.
🌎 We’ll also explore developments in the United States and beyond, examining how journalists navigate the line between credible reporting, speculation, and the unknown.
🎙️ MEET YOUR SPEAKERS
🔹 Chrissy Newton — Writer at The Debrief, host of Rebelliously Curious, and host of Discovery Channel’s Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction.
🔹 Daniel Otis @dsotis — Investigative journalist uncovering Canada’s secret UFO files. His reporting has appeared in more than two dozen publications, including the Toronto Star, VICE, and The Globe and Mail.

Fellow Conservative MP @adamchamb also filed this recent Order Paper Question about UAP detected over Canada, but the response he received only mentions 3 "human-made research" balloons that were shot down over Alaska, Yukon and Lake Huron in Feb. 2023 👉ourcommons.ca/written-questi…🔍

Over a period of 5 weeks in early 2025, multiple witnesses in remote communities near Hudson Bay reported unusual lights, including members of the military's Canadian Rangers... A defence spokesperson tells me they are not "aware of the definitive cause of these sightings."🍁❓🔍

I wish I had different news to share. But 4.5 years since my initial FOI request, I have lost my fight to get UFO reports from Ontario's nuclear power plants. An @IPCinfoprivacy adjudicator has sided with Ontario Power Generation. The UAP data will never see the light of day...☢️

A few people at the @ExploreSCU conference asked how they could help with UAP research in Canada and I encouraged them to file FREEDOM OF INFORMATION requests! If you're looking for a specific idea, I highly recommend starting with a request to your local police force... 🚨 [1/4]

It was great to talk about UAP transparency and national security with @chrissynewton and others at the annual @ExploreSCU conference in Toronto. My two cents? The more governments conceptualize UFOs as a national security issue, the more the public will kept in the dark...🍁❓🔍

Daniel Otis has done the most of any Canadian journalist to get out information on the UAP subject.

Sad to learn that my friend James Bradley passed away earlier this month. James was a writer, a mentor and a hell of a lot of fun to be around. We met in Cambodia more than a decade ago and had a few great research adventures together. He will be missed👉nytimes.com/2026/06/19/us/ja…🖊️

ICYMI here's what Canadian authorities did NOT want you to know about the objects shot down in 2023:
1) Images & video of the Yukon object were held back
2) That object crashed near the village of Mayo
3) Police collected debris from the shores of Lake Huron
Anything else? 🍁❓🔍
