Yukon Territory Mass Sighting 1996

On the night of December 11, 1996, over 100 residents of several Yukon Territory communities — including Fox Lake, Carmacks, and the Village of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations — independently observed an enormous unidentified craft during a winter night. Witnesses described a massive disc or oval-shaped object with numerous lights, estimated by some observers as over a mile in diameter, moving slowly at low altitude. The Klondike Highway had numerous witnesses who stopped their vehicles to observe. The event lasted approximately 30 minutes. Researcher Martin Jasek of UFO*BC conducted over 50 witness interviews, compiling one of the most thorough documentation efforts in Canadian UAP history. Witness accounts were strikingly consistent across communities separated by dozens of miles, ruling out mass misidentification. No aircraft, blimp, or satellite could account for the scale and behavior described. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police received multiple reports. The case was featured in a 2009 Canadian documentary.
