Posts like these were circulating on Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday night, with people suggesting there was a UFO crash near Jackhead, Man. It was actually an airplane being used in a military training exercise, according to the Canadian Forces (?)
Numerous Social media (including our own) reports of a possible UFO sighting last night near Jackhead, are not true, says the Canadian Forces, which attributed the bright light people saw to an airplane from a training exercise.
On Wednesday night, several people said on Twitter and Facebook that they saw a bright light in the sky, fuelling speculation that it may have been an unidentified flying object.
The rumour became stronger when photos were posted of Canadian Forces vehicles in the area, with some people claiming the military was there to contain a UFO crash site.
But it was not a UFO at all, says Lt.-Col. Paul Davies, commanding officer 38 Territorial Battalion Group, which is involved in an Arctic Response Company Group training exercise on Lake Winnipeg this week.

“There’s no aliens, just my friends in the air force who are out there helping us on this exercise,” Davies confidently told CBC News on Thursday.
“I have the commander of that air force contingent sitting right beside me and, you know, he assures us that that was not a UFO, but that was him.”
About 150 military personnel are taking part in Exercise Arctic Bison 2015, which includes the 38 Canadian Brigade Group, the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, the 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, and 440 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Davies said soldiers are training to deal with a plane crash and provide ground search and rescue support in the Arctic.
The bright light that people saw, he explained, came from an airplane that takes off very quickly.
“From a distance it may have looked like it was going straight up in the air, but it wasn’t,” he said. “It was just us out there playing our games.” (what Cowboys and Aliens?).
The exercise wraps up on Sunday……But, I’m pretty sure there will be more ‘denials’ off the Canadian Military!
