St. Paul UFO landing pad
The town of St. Paul, Alberta, built a concrete 'UFO landing pad' as its Canadian centennial project; Defence Minister Paul Hellyer opened it on 3 June 1967.

The account
It was meant as a gesture of welcome and a tourist draw, with a time capsule to be opened in 2067 and a map of Canada made of stones from every province. In 1990 Mother Teresa visited it, and a UFO hotline and display later followed. It is a cultural landmark, not evidence of anything.
The sceptical view
A civic stunt that worked: it is a tourism symbol, and the town says so.
