🛸 LET’S TALK UFOs | THE EDGE OF US x PLUTO
What do we really know about UFOs and what questions are we still afraid to ask?
Join journalist and podcast host Chrissy Newton and journalist Daniel Otis for an evening of conversation exploring Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), national security, intelligence, and the search for answers.
From a mysterious object detected over the Yukon by the Canadian military in 2023 to disputed UFO imagery reportedly circulated among Canadian defence officials and UAP reports near nuclear facilities, we’ll examine the evidence, the unanswered questions, and what it all means.
No sensationalism. No easy answers. Just curious minds, tough questions, and a conversation that goes beyond the headlines.
📍 Pluto
📅 December 3
🕢 7:30–9:30 PM
Come curious. Leave questioning.
🎟️ In-person and livestream tickets.

🛸 LET’S TALK UFOs | THE EDGE OF US x PLUTO
What do we really know about UFOs, and what remains unexplained?

Conservative 🇨🇦 Member of Parliament @BrandenCPC is demanding UAP answers from Ottawa. The government has 45 days to respond to this "Order Paper Question" on UFO briefings and the @ChiefSciCan's Sky Canada Project report 👉 ourcommons.ca/written-questi… 🍁❓🔍
Fellow Conservative MP @adamchamb also filed this recent Order Paper Question about UAP detected over Canada, but the response he received only mentions 3 "human-made research" balloons that were shot down over Alaska, Yukon and Lake Huron in Feb. 2023 👉ourcommons.ca/written-questi…🔍
Over a period of 5 weeks in early 2025, multiple witnesses in remote communities near Hudson Bay reported unusual lights, including members of the military's Canadian Rangers... A defence spokesperson tells me they are not "aware of the definitive cause of these sightings."🍁❓🔍
I wish I had different news to share. But 4.5 years since my initial FOI request, I have lost my fight to get UFO reports from Ontario's nuclear power plants. An @IPCinfoprivacy adjudicator has sided with Ontario Power Generation. The UAP data will never see the light of day...☢️
I want to thank @CDNConstFound lawyer @JoshDehaas for his excellent pro bono work on my appeal, which was unfortunately frustrated by a recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling... Read the full Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario decision here👉norma.lexum.com/ipc-cipvp/or…🔍

A few people at the @ExploreSCU conference asked how they could help with UAP research in Canada and I encouraged them to file FREEDOM OF INFORMATION requests! If you're looking for a specific idea, I highly recommend starting with a request to your local police force... 🚨 [1/4]

It was great to talk about UAP transparency and national security with @chrissynewton and others at the annual @ExploreSCU conference in Toronto. My two cents? The more governments conceptualize UFOs as a national security issue, the more the public will kept in the dark...🍁❓🔍
Who's attending the @ExploreSCU conference in Toronto this weekend? I'm really looking forward to meeting many of you in person for the first time. And on Saturday afternoon, I'll be sharing my thoughts on government transparency and national security during a panel discussion!🔍

Daniel Otis has done the most of any Canadian journalist to get out information on the UAP subject.
The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies has invited me to join a panel discussion on national security and government transparency at their upcoming conference in Toronto, which runs from July 24 to 26. For more details on the @ExploreSCU event, visit 👉explorescu.org/conferences/s…🔍

Sad to learn that my friend James Bradley passed away earlier this month. James was a writer, a mentor and a hell of a lot of fun to be around. We met in Cambodia more than a decade ago and had a few great research adventures together. He will be missed👉nytimes.com/2026/06/19/us/ja…🖊️
