The Henry McKay UFO Archives - UFOs Up Close
Michelle McKay has just launched a website dedicated to her late uncle Ufologist Henry McKay. The site is new and so not finished as it is a work in progress. Michelle will be putting Henry's case files from his Research & Archives on the site. Michelle has kindly gave me 24 hours notice of the launch and also given me permission to share some of the material here.
Henry McKay was the first Director for Mufon Canada, he Investigated for NICAP and was an associate of CUFOS with Dr J Allen Hynek. He also Investigated for APRO & CAPRO (The Canadian APRO).
He was on the board of directors for the “North American UFO Federation” (headed by NASA scientist Dr.Richard Haines) and was their Deputy Director.
Henry McKay started to Investigate UFO's in 1965 until he passed away in 2007 he specialised in Physical Trace case's and created his own UFO Classification System as shown below.
Quote:
The “A” category is the astronomical or aerial observation. Of the UFO reports, this would comprise of approximately 75-80%. Now, unfortunately, I do not have any training in astronomy. A lot of the activity that’s unidentified that’s going on in space may have some military background to it and it’s difficult to extract the information from the authorities. So, I do not pursue that particular area.
The “B” category is below normal aircraft altitude, or at tree-top level if you will.
And the “C” category is contact with the ground or communication with humans.
That’s the three broad categories. “A” astronomical. “B” below normal aircraft altitude or at 500 foot distance if you will. And “C” category is contact with the ground or some sort of communication.”

One of the case file's which is on the website is an Audio recording with an unknown Researcher where Henry talks about harassment from the Authorities.
Here is what Michelle has to say about the tape.
Quote:
“The Henry McKay Confession Tape is an audio cassette tape from 1978 of pioneer UFOlogist Henry McKay (my great-uncle) talking about his experiences of being watched, stalked and harassed by authorities due to his UFO research involvement. I don’t recall if Uncle mentions in this tape that he had to get his local politician involved to finally get his P.O. mailbox back after it “mistakenly” was shut down and taken away from him.
I cranked the volume up as loud as it would go in the video editor, so you might need headphones depending on your speaker system. But most should be able to hear without headphones.
I do not know who Henry (my great-uncle) was talking to in this tape. All I know is that this conversation took place in a car in front of Henry’s home in Toronto, Canada in 1978. About half-way through the tape you will hear it raining outside. At around the 22 minute mark the tape goes blank, I have not done anything to it, this is the way it is on the original tape and I have no idea what caused this. Then the audio comes back. Then around the 27 minute mark the tape cuts off as Henry is mid-sentence and then you hear Uncle do a countdown — no idea what this is all about. Then all of a sudden the tape comes back to the interview in the car. Your guess is as good as mine.
If anybody has any idea as to who Uncle was talking to (the man interviewing Uncle) please leave it in the comments below (no sign-up required) and also include why you think so. Or if anybody has any additional info to anything they have heard in this tape please leave it in the comments. Thank you for your assistance, together we can figure this out!!
In this audio cassette tape Henry talks about his mail being diverted, his telegram being diverted, his telephone being tapped, men watching his house from their car, being chased down the highway by an unknown vehicle, police showing up at his door to harass him from a city over 3 hours away, army showing up at his investigation sites (Henry specialized in landing sites and physical traces), and the monitoring of UFO investigators and researchers. Henry also mentions the Edwin Fuhr case (Regina, Saskatchewan) and that the police told Edwin not to say anything about his UFO sighting. He also mentions the Stephen Michalak case in Falcon Lake, Manitoba. He also talks about Ground Saucer Watch attempting to take the government to court regarding harassment for investigating UFOs. He also talks about his long fight with the government to get the Joe Borda files from the government (over 10 years Henry tried) in Brantford when a UFO landed in a tobacco field.
He mentions “O.P.P” which is the “Ontario Provincial Police”. He also mentions RCMP which is the “Royal Canadian Mounted Police”.
As you will hear in the tape, Henry called the harassment and monitoring from authorities “the loyal opposition”. A very fitting title for them.”

A month or two ago I done some Research for Michelle to find out who it was Henry was talking to. From excerpts in Henrys diary Michelle found a date on the 18th Jan 1978 which listed a briefing with a Mr X. I was able to find out Mr X's real name and where he lived and that he is still alive, however I can not share this information at this moment. I passed the information onto Michelle so it is up to her to contact him.
Here are the screenshots from the diary'
Here is one of Henry's case file's. A Sighting on the 1st January 1970 Duncan, British Columbia.
Quote:
“A number of years ago, a nurse in an intensive care ward at the District Hospital in Cowichan on Vancouver Island observed an intense light shining in, out in the hall from a patient’s room.
Now, the patient at that time should have been resting with the lights off. And the nurse thought that somebody had left the lights on. And she went down to the room to turn the light off. Then she realized on entering the room that the intense light was coming in the window.
So she walked over with intentions of drawing the drapes. When she looked out, hovering at eye level was an 80 ? from her building, because it was between the children’s wing of the same hospital, was a hovering UFO.
She reported that she was, stared in amazement, and was mesmerized. She said this object was hovering there and it contained two creatures. And she said, one sitting behind the other, she said the one sitting in the rear turned slowly and looked directly at her. Then that creature reached forward, placed his hand on the creature sitting in front, and the creature in turn reached down and moved the lever.
She was questioned closely about this and she said she could see the interior of the craft, and when he reached down and moved that lever the vehicle tilted and she could see a greater area of this craft. She said inside she could see some sort of a control panel and these two humanoids were sitting on tall stools, like a child’s seat.
Then the craft started moving slowly away and then she realized she should get other witnesses, and she yelled to the other nurses on duty and they came running down the corridor.
Unfortunately, the one just saw the light moving off in the distance. And another nurse ran down, I believe it was into a small washroom that had a window that had a view of the area where the object was disappearing, and she saw the lights disappearing in the distance also.
Now, here’s a nurse. A mature, would be quite competent in observing something of this nature and reporting it.
This is one case that’s happened out in B.C., and other cases have been reported across Canada.”

Another case on the site is the Jackson's Point Incident 1973, UFO interrupts radio station.
Quote:
Jackson's Point Incident -- UFOs. In this audio from the year 1973 you will hear pioneer UFOlogist Henry McKay being interviewed on CFGM radio station with host Ron Knight when a male calls in saying that he is looking at a UFO in the sky right at that very moment in Jackson's Point, Ontario, Canada. Later in the interview at around the 15 minute mark you will hear the radio station’s phone lines jam, thereby forcing the station to temporarily go off air. Somewhat similar to the infamous Art Bell “Area 51 Frantic Caller” episode found on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee3bld4lTG0
Here is the Interview ~
Here is a video trailer with clips of Henry McKay talking about UFO's.
There is more on the site and Michelle tells me that there is more to come so be sure to check out this new website on a regular basis to see what new info is posted.
Michelle is a member here so with a bit of luck she might drop by and drop us a post or two.
You can find it at this link which is also the source for the information here.
