Ontario remains tops for UFO sightings in Canada

Article content

Many people have wondered whether earthlings are alone in the infinite universe or if there are other intelligent life forms out there in the cosmos.

But it seems Ontario is filled with believers who claim they have seen something on the extra-terrestrial front.

Researchers at Casino.ca looked at sighting entries reported to the National UFO Reporting Center from 1974 to 2024 to find where you are most likely to encounter a UFO across Canada and the United States.

Ontario is considered the UFO capital of Canada given the 21,884 encounters reported, with sightings described as “orbs with 20 lights,” “black triangles moving fast,” and mysterious “spherical objects.”

So for every 667 people, one UFO has been sighted, making it the highest UFO-to-human ratio out of all the provinces and territories.

Alberta was a distant second, with residents reporting 624 sightings over the years, bringing the total to 1 UFO per 700 people.

That’s a meagre one UFO per 8,692 people, according to the data.
