Canada
Canada's UAP record is preserved by Library and Archives Canada (LAC). Two original-research programmes anchor the corpus: Project Magnet (1950–1954) under radio engineer Wilbert B. Smith at the Department of Transport, and Project Second Storey (1952–1954) a classified Defence Research Board panel. Their files plus subsequent civilian and military reports are publicly accessible at library-archives.canada.ca.
Project Magnet
Authorised 2 December 1950 by Department of Transport Deputy Minister C.M. Edwards as a small civilian-side UAP study under Wilbert Smith. Operated until August 1954. Smith's interim report concluded: "It appears, then, that we are faced with a substantial probability of the real existence of extraterrestrial vehicles, regardless of whether or not they fit into our scheme of things." The project was closed; the report remained classified until 1979.
Project Second Storey
A Defence Research Board sub-committee chaired by Dr. Peter Millman of the Dominion Observatory. Eight meetings between 1952–1954. Its final consensus was inconclusive but recommended formal collection of UAP reports — a recommendation that was not formally implemented in Canada.
LAC's role
LAC accessions and digitises both programmes' files under the Access to Information Act. The Project Magnet series (RG 12, RG 24) and Second Storey (RG 25, DRB papers) are publicly indexed and retrievable. Subsequent civilian and RCMP reports are added to the LAC catalogue on an ongoing basis under FOIA-equivalent ATIA requests.
