Michael Ryan, host of the popular podcast “UFO Talker” based in Trenton, Ont., has been researching UFOs for over 40 years and has written several publications on the subject.
Along with his commentator, Christine Scott from Regina, they produce a weekly show that averages 95,000 downloads per year and has listeners in 25 countries around the world.
While researching for the program, Ryan stumbled upon declassified documents from the national archives of the RCMP, which included reports of UFO sightings from the 1960s and ’70s.
Among the reports, five sightings in southwest Saskatchewan caught his attention, all of which were reported in 1967. Confirmation of these sightings was found in archives of the Regina Leader Post and Shaunavon Standard.
One particularly intriguing report came from a school bus driver and passengers who witnessed a bright light while driving near Shaunavon. The UFO hovered over the bus for several minutes and terrified the students, according to the report.
This incident, along with others from the same year, included reports from a clergyman, a doctor, a man (Lloyd Studer) and his wife, and a woman named Evelyn Brown who claimed to have taken a photograph of a silver object.
Ryan is particularly interested in hearing from the students who may have been on that school bus half a century ago; they would now be of retirement age.
Since he had a similar experience as an eight-year-old in the United States, Ryan understands the impact it can have on one’s life.
The UFO podcaster/researcher believes it’s highly unlikely these reports were faked. He’s hoping that with the passage of time people who were once too embarrassed to speak publicly about their own UFO sightings will come forward.
He encourages anyone with information to reach out to him via email at [email protected].
