#422 Canada’s Most SHOCKING True UFO Story - Charlie Red Star

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠ Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity k...
