Description

Hey everyone,
I've been going through some declassified Canadian Access to Information (ATIP) files and found a interesting document. It's a briefing slide for a military operation codenamed "UAP 23," which was the Canadian Armed Forces' (CAF) response to an unidentified aerial phenomenon over the Yukon in February 2023.

The document is a single slide titled UAP 23: - Operational Storyboard.It provides a high-level overview of the mission. What's most significant is that the stated objective of the operation was to "RECOVER & EXPLOIT" the UAP. This is a direct statement from an official source.

The storyboard also details the resources committed to the operation, including:
161+ hours of aerial and ground search.
7/10 of the operational RCAF airframes were used.
145 CAF members were involved.
It also lists the types of aircraft involved (Comorant, Cyclone, Twin Otter, Hercules, Griffon, and Aurora) and includes what appear to be real photos from the deployment and search.

The document was released under the ATIP number A-2023-01307. I've attached a screenshot of the slide, and the full document is available on the Government of Canada's website for public verification.

This is significant as it's one of the most explicit official acknowledgments of a Canadian military operation to recover and exploit a UAP. I've also submitted a new ATIP request for more information, and I'm sharing this to connect it to previous related posts about the UAP 23 shot down in the Yukon, Canada.
