The document surveys the existing fragmented landscape of UAP reporting across Canadian federal departments including DND, Transport Canada, NRC and others. It notes estimates of 600–1000 annual public reports and public survey data indicating one in four Canadians claim to have witnessed a UAP. The study highlights the absence of a centralized, standardized federal protocol and recommends enhanced coordination, better data collection methods, and greater public transparency while maintaining scientific rigor. It explicitly frames the issue as one of scientific inquiry and aviation safety rather than assuming extraordinary explanations, consulting stakeholders including GEIPAN and domestic scientific bodies. The full report builds on this preview to guide future Canadian policy.
