'People are actually seeing things': Manitoba a hotspot for unidentified flying objects
On a clear night in Manitoba, people may see all sorts of things in the sky – planes, birds and perhaps, a UFO.
It seems the province is a hotspot for unidentified flying objects.
Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski told CTV there are reports dating back to 1792.
"David Thompson was in an area that was now around Thicket Portage in 1792, and it was winter," said Rutkowski. "They saw a mass of gelatinous luminosity moving through the air. It actually approached them. And when it was a few hundred feet from them, it dropped to the surface of the lake and vanished from site."
The researcher said while most UFO reports are later identified, about 17 per cent are officially labelled as unexplained.
"After being involved in this for more than 30 years, there is a real phenomena," said Rutkowski. "It's not something that's made up, it's not hallucinations. People are actually seeing things."
What those things are, remains unknown.
Manitoba means "land of the great spirit" indeed, I lived there and there are very strange things like this:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...
Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away..
