Canadian UFO Report
John Magor, Duncan, British Columbia
History
Canadian UFO Report was a quarterly magazine on UFO sightings and related subjects, published by John Magor from Duncan, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It appeared from 1969 and ran through the 1970s, drawing heavily on sightings from British Columbia and the rest of Canada. It was later incorporated into a successor publication, Journal UFO, issued by UP Investigations Research Inc. in Ontario.
Magor, a journalist by background, edited the magazine from Duncan and worked with a consulting editor, Brian Cannon, who maintained an extensive case file. Together they compiled Canadian sighting reports that had often received little national attention, among them the wave Magor described in a feature on the 1967 sightings across the Cariboo country and the Yukon. Magor drew on this material for his later books on the subject.
Canadian UFO Report belongs to the documentary record as the principal Canadian UFO magazine of its period and as a record of Canadian sightings that the national press of the time largely passed over. It documents the Vancouver Island and Cariboo activity of the late 1960s and 1970s and the work of the small Canadian research network that gathered around Magor. Documented issues include Volume 1, Number 6 (November 1969) and Volume 1, Number 7 (Summer 1970).
Canadian UFO Report stands as the principal record of the 1967 Cariboo and Yukon wave and of the Cowichan District Hospital close encounter at Duncan in 1970. It was later incorporated into the successor publication Journal UFO.
