Guardian Case (1989)

The Guardian Case of 1989 is one of the most intriguing and enduring UFO sightings in Canadian history. Centered near the rural area of Carp, Ontario, just outside of Ottawa, the case unfolded primarily through an enigmatic individual known only by the pseudonym “Guardian.” This anonymous figure mailed packages containing video footage and documents to multiple UFO researchers, capturing the attention of the UFO community both in Canada and abroad.

The central piece of evidence in the Guardian Case is a video, allegedly filmed on the night of November 4, 1989. The footage reveals what appears to be a landing of an unidentified object with bright lights in a field. To add to the spectacle, the video also depicts military helicopters hovering around the location, implying an immediate and serious response from authorities to the mysterious event. The package sent by Guardian also contained documents, a map of the supposed landing site, and even fingerprints.

Given the pseudonymous nature of Guardian, much of the investigation hinged on the footage and accompanying materials. Bob Oechler, an American UFO researcher and former NASA mission specialist, took particular interest in the case. Along with Graham Lightfoot, another UFO researcher, Oechler made several trips to the Carp area to investigate. They spoke to local residents and even managed to locate the exact field where the event purportedly took place, identifying it by matching the background trees and pond features seen in the video.

Not only did the video seem to show a craft of some sort landing, but the documents provided by Guardian also spoke of a global conspiracy involving world governments, suggesting that the Carp landing was one of several similar events worldwide. The implication was that extraterrestrial beings were in covert contact with Earth.

One book specifically looks into the case: “The Canadian UFO Report: The Best Cases Revealed” by Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman. While the Guardian Case is only a part of this book, it provides a comprehensive look at Canada’s most intriguing UFO sightings.

While most of the focus has been on the video footage, the helicopters in the video have also raised numerous questions. No official record of a military exercise on that specific date in that specific area has been produced, leading proponents to claim that this was indeed a rapid military response to an actual unidentified landing event.

Carp is a compact rural community located in the western part of Ottawa, the capital of Canada. The area is called West Carleton. The area features a mix of farmland, forested zones, and wetlands. The swamps or marshy areas would be consistent with the natural landscape common to many rural parts of Ontario.

These swamps on or near Corkery Road became the backdrop for one of Canada’s most famous and debated UFO incidents. According to the story, it was in a field near this area that the alleged UFO was filmed landing by an anonymous individual using the pseudonym “Guardian.” Subsequent investigations by UFO researchers were guided by maps and other details sent by Guardian, leading them to a specific site that matched features visible in the video.

Swampy or marshy areas can add an additional layer of complexity to investigations of any sort. For one, they can make access to a site more challenging. The conditions of wetlands can also rapidly alter any physical traces, complicating efforts to document evidence conclusively.

In the narrative surrounding the Guardian Case of 1989 in Carp, Ontario, there are reports that military helicopters, speculated to be Apache and Black Hawk models, were observed the night following the alleged UFO landing. These helicopters were said to hover near the location where the unidentified object was reported to have touched down. Furthermore, it has been claimed that materials or wreckage from the UFO encounter were subsequently transported to a secure, undisclosed facility located in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario.

It has been claimed that 3 bodies were recovered.

The distance between Kanata and Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport is about 25 to 35 kilometers apart, or roughly 15 to 22 miles. Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport has the capacity to handle military aircraft and has hangers and facilities that could be used for military purposes when needed.

The Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) facility commonly referred to as DRDC Ottawa and Kanata are within 20-30 kilometers (approximately 12-19 miles) of each other.

A CIA program focused on mind control and interrogation techniques, operated experiments at McGill University in Montreal during the 1950s and 1960s. These experiments were run out of the Allan Memorial Institute. Dr. Ewen Cameron, the psychiatrist who led these experiments, used controversial techniques like electroshock therapy and drug-induced states to try to modify behavior and extract information. This project was part of a larger, mostly U.S.-based program aimed at researching mind control, often without the consent or even knowledge of the subjects involved.

Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) or ELF waves have been the subject of research, with a claim that they can be used for mind control. Research into ELF waves has explored a variety of applications, from submarine communication to geological study.

The following text is said to be part of a letter written by an anonymous individual known as “Guardian,” who claimed to have evidence of a UFO incident that supposedly occurred in Carp, Ontario, Canada in 1989. The letter presents an elaborate account involving Canadian and American Security Agencies, covert military operations, and alien technologies. Here is the letter:

“Canadian and American Security Agencies are engaged in a conspiracy of silence, to withhold from the world the alien vessel seized in the swamps of Corkery Road, Carp, in 1989.

UFO sightings in the Ontario region had intensified in the 1980’s, specifically, around nuclear power generating stations. On Nov. 4, 1989 at 20:00 hrs Canadian Defense Dept. radars picked up a globe shaped object traveling at phenomenal speed over Carp, Ontario. The UFO abruptly stopped, and dropped like a stone.

Canadian and American Security Agencies were immediately notified of the landing. Monitoring satellites traced the movements of the aliens to a triangular area. (see aerial map) off Almonte and Corkery Roads.

The ship had landed in deep swamp near Corkery Road. Two AH-64 Apaches and a UH-60 Blackhawk headed for the area the following night. The helicopters carried full weapon loads. They were part of a covert American unit that specialized in the recovery of alien craft.

Flying low over Ontario pine trees the Apache attack choppers soon spotted a glowing, blue, 20 meter in diameter sphere. As targeting lasers locked-on, both gun-ships unleashed their full weapon loads of 8 missiles each. All 16 were exploded in proximity bursts 10 meters downwind from the ship.

The missiles were carrying VEXXON, a deadly neuro-active gas which kills on contact. Exposed to air the gas breaks down quickly into inert components. Immediately after having completed their mission the gun-ships turned around, and headed back across the border.

Now the Blackhawk landed, as men exploded from its open doors. In seconds the six man strike team had entered the UFO through a 7 meter hatchless, oval portal. No resistance was encountered. At the controls, 3 dead crewman were found.

With the ship captured, the US Air force, Pentagon, and Office of Naval Intelligence were notified. Through the night a special team of technicians had shut-down and disassembled the sphere. Early the next morning Nov. 6, 1989 construction equipment and trucks were brought into the swamp. The UFO parts were transported to a secret facility in Kanata, Ontario.

As a cover story the locals were informed that a road was being built through the swamp. No smokescreen was needed for the military activity as Canadian forces regularly train in the Carp region. Officially nothing unusual was reported in the area. Although someone anonymously turned in a 35mm roll of film. It was received by the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa. The film contained several clear shots of an entity holding a light. (see photo) At this time the photographer is still unidentified.

The humanoids were packed in ice and sent to an isolation chamber at the Univ. of Ottawa. CIA physiologists performed the autopsies.

The reptilian, fetus-headed beings, were listed as CLASS 1 NTE’s. (Non Terrestrial Entities) Like others recovered in previous operations, they were muscular, grey-white skinned, humanoids.

The ship was partially reassembled at the underground facility in Kanata. Unlike previous recoveries this one is pure military. Built as a “Starfighter” it is heavily armed and armored. In design no rivets, bolts, or welds were used in fastening, yet when reconstructed there are no seams. The UFO itself is made up of a matrixed dielectric magnesium alloy. It is driven by pulsed electromagnetic fields generated by a cold fusion reactor. All offensive capabilities utilize independently targeting electronic beam weapons. In the cargo hold were found ordnance racks containing fifty Soviet nuclear warheads. Their purpose was revealed by advanced tactical/combat computers located in the flight deck.

The most important alien-tech find were the 2 millimeter, spheroid, brain implants. Surgically inserted through the nasal orifice the individual can be fully monitored and controlled. The CIA and Canadian Govt have actively supported mind-slave experiments for years. Currently the Univ. of Ottawa is involved in ELF wave mind control programs. A continuation of the CIA psychological warfare project known as MKULTRA, started at the Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal.

Using ELF signals transmitted at the same wavelength the human brain uses, the researchers could subliminally control the test subject. The alien implants utilize the same principles except that the whole unit is sub miniaturized and contained in the brain. Fortunately the implants can be detected by magnetic resolution scanning technology. All individuals implanted by the aliens are classified as ZOMBIES.

The ZOMBIES have been programmed to help overthrow Mankind in the near future.”

At its core, the Guardian—a mysterious figure who supplied a plethora of materials, including video footage and documents—serves as both the linchpin and the enigma of the investigation. From UFO researchers to military involvement, the case has been dissected from multiple angles, yet definitive answers remain elusive.

The documents and video footage provided sparked not just investigations into the possibility of extraterrestrial life but also touched upon broader issues like covert governmental activities and even mind control experiments.
