Keeping
an eye on the sky
Michel
Deschamps, a UFO researcher/historian, has spent several
years compiling data on UFO sightings in Sudbury and Northern
Ontario.
He
has investigated abductions, UFO crash sites and obtained
"official" UFO documents.
Deschamps
has witnessed 17 sightings since the age of nine.
He
encourages people to contact him with their experiences
and is currently writing a book on the history of flying
objects, abductions, crop circles and other paranormal
activities across Northern Ontario.
Deschamps
shared his findings at a workshop during the weekend at
Rayvin's Eclectic Enchantments. It was the first one he
has presented in six years.
Only
a handful of people attended, but one could tell by the
binders of documents he hauled in with him that Deschamps
takes his work very seriously.
He
stood behind a podium and said when it comes to the subject
of UFOs, people are more "close-minded" than
they were 15 years ago.
Today,
people are reluctant to admit they've seen something unusual
hovering in the skies overhead and are even more reluctant
to leave their name with him.
Glancing
at Sudbury Star newspaper clippings, it's surprising the
amount of space that was dedicated to reports of flying
objects.
