New Brunswick protected airspace
A CADORS report logged an unidentified aerial phenomenon over protected airspace in New Brunswick — the kind of record that sits in a federal database and never gets analysed.
The record
CADORS report 2002A0096 covers an incident on 14 February 2002 near protected airspace in the province. It is a real entry in a real federal system, and it is the kind of record most researchers never see because nobody publishes the analysis.
The pairing matters: this sits in the same series as the 2018 Baffin Island report and the 2013 Stephenville reports, and all three are cases where the government logged the sighting and then did nothing with it.
Coverage comes from The Walrus, which is journalism rather than the file itself. The report number is given so it can be requested directly.
