The annual report from Ufology Research documented 1,981 UFO sightings in Canada in 2012, more than double 2011's record 986.
Chris Rutkowski, a civilian science writer who has produced the Canadian UFO survey since 1989, has just finished compiling all of 2012 reports.
"It's something across the board," said Rutkowski. "People in Canada were actually looking up into the sky more than in previous years."
The objects people witness come in a variety of forms - from triangles and balls of fire, to the more traditionally ovoid-shaped flying saucers, hovering in the sky.X 40% of Canada's UFOs were spotted in Ontario.
Adam Canning, 10, of Lake Charlotte, N.S., is one of the many hundreds of Canadians who are reporting UFOs. He said the UFO he witnessed with a friend earlier this year looked like an orb.
"I could see it in the distance for about a minute and then like boom, it went really fast," said Adam, standing on a hill near his house, pointing at the sky.
Several Ufology experts say if the number of sightings keeps rising, Ottawa will have to pay attention.
