Fredericton
CBC reported a New Brunswick man convinced aliens were walking in the provincial capital, on the same week as the United States' first UAP hearing in Congress.
The record
The story is here as a document of the news cycle rather than an aviation or archival case: a regional UFO broadcast on national television in the week the US Congress held its first UAP hearing.
Stanton Friedman, the physicist who became the public face of the subject, lived in Fredericton from the 1970s until his death in 2020. His papers went to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick. Whether they contain sighting reports is not established here, and is worth a direct request.
