The footage takes place at night and shows a large brightly lit object sitting on the ground next to a cluster of four red flares.
I saw the Guardian tape for the first time on the popular TV program Unsolved Mysteries. Investigators probably would've dismissed Guardian's latest material as a hoax once again if it weren't for one other item he included: a videotape. The so-called DND documents didn't read like government papers, but instead told a rambling story about an ideological war involving "Red China," "Iraqu" (sic) and "Grey Aliens." There was also a bit about a secret project test centre in Carp, Ont. This new material from Guardian was even stranger than the first batch.
In addition to more reports of UFO crashes in the West Carleton area, they also sent documents allegedly from Canada's Department of National Defence (DND), diagrams explaining how alien spaceships evaded our radar systems, and a series of playing cards covered with ramblings about religion and government conspiracies. The story of the UFO crash read like bad science fiction, while the alien photos looked like nothing more than someone standing in a field in a dark outfit and a hockey mask.Ī couple of years later, Guardian returned, and they'd upped their game. Most investigators dismissed the material as a hoax. There were also photographs of what Guardian claimed was an alien being. The packages contained a typewritten story about a UFO crash that allegedly took place in West Carleton, which was a rural township outside of Ottawa. began receiving packages from someone calling themself "Guardian." In 1989, UFO investigators in Canada and the U.S. This story would also become the focus of a CBC documentary, UFO Town.ĭuration 1:52 A UFO investigator recalls tracking down evidence in his teens after a mysterious 'Guardian' sent out 'UFO evidence' around the world. Then, one night in 1993, I saw a videotape that would not only give me that chance, but would also change the course of my entire life. I dreamed of the chance to investigate my first case. I watched documentaries and TV shows about the paranormal. I spent my time reading every book on UFOs I could find, familiarizing myself with popular cases like the Roswell, Falcon Lake, Shag Harbour and Rendlesham Forest incidents. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of UFO cases to investigate in Whitby, Ont. The truth was out there, and I was prepared to find it on my own if I had to. Like Mulder, I was a bit of a loner, especially at school, where it was decidedly uncool to be interested in UFOs and the paranormal.
I found a kindred spirit in Fox Mulder, the UFO-obsessed FBI agent working paranormal cases with his skeptical partner, Dana Scully.
I watched them so many times I practically wore out the tapes.īut it was The X-Files that made me want to become a UFO investigator. The Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It was the 1980s and the encounter came via VHS. I was very young when I saw my first UFO.
