Saskatchewan, UFO dead zone?

Or

Hot spot?

By: Steven G MacLeod

Saskatchewan a land locked prairie province of Canada whose residents, can be proud to live in the nations breadbasket. With a population of 1.13 million and a landmass of 651,900 square kilometer this equates to around 2 people every square kilometer, think about the everyday events that you don't notice going on within your own house and scale that up to what could be going on around us with no one there to notice or perhaps UFOs are just rare in Saskatchewan.

Between 1949 and 1981 Saskatchewan has 572 UFO reports open to public view online at www.collectionscanada.gc.ca compare that with Saskatchewan's next door neighbours Alberta with 963 reported sightings between 1949-1981, and Manitoba with 938 sightings between 1949-1981, you can see that Saskatchewan's neighbours have more reported sightings by a fair margin.

With Alberta this makes sense as it has the largest population of the prairie provinces at 4.15 million which works out to around 6 people every square kilometre meaning a lot more eyes to witness unusual phenomenon when those events take place.

Manitoba however has a similar population to Saskatchewan with 1.28 million meaning roughly 2 people per square kilometre yet the number of reported sightings is much closer to that of Alberta's which raises the question of why?

Is this purely related to population or are UFO's giving Saskatchewan little attention compared to the other provinces? Like most of the questions raised about the paranormal an answer of “yes” or “no” just isn't possible so we are left to theorize. My theory is that UFOs how we traditionally think of them as intelligently controlled flying objects, where they come from or what causes them are not important, they do not appear to or have any reason to recognize national, provincial, or state borders therefore the drop in sightings around the area that makes up less populace Saskatchewan makes sense. What about the high number of sightings in Manitoba? This could possibly be attributed to the fact that since 1922 the provinces capital of Winnipeg has been home to CFB Winnipeg a Royal Canadian Air Force Base and the Canadian Air Division Headquarters and Canadian NORAD Region Headquarters and as popular UFO-logy lore goes, where the air force is so are the UFOs.

To better illustrate this the latest sightings reported to www.nuforc.org that range between 1999 and 2017 fall more in line with this population theory, Saskatchewan had 183, Alberta had 496, and Manitoba had 209. Perhaps 40 or 50 years ago some new military aircraft was being tested and based at CFB Winnipeg? Accounting for the higher number of sightings between 1949-1981.

So then does this mean we are being avoided like the plague or worse yet ignored? Or is there activity happening all around us all the time but there is just no one there to see it?
