Today’s Weather Trivia:
1 August 2005: According to a UFO-monitoring group, UFO reports in Canada were down by 36% from the same time last year. This dearth of reported sightings was surprising as, in summer, people at cottages or camping out look at the sky more. The fact that it was the wettest summer on record in Canada and largely overcast skies prevailed even when it was not raining might explain the low number. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
