Running parallel to Project Magnet, Project Second Storey was a highly classified Canadian government committee organized by the Defense Research Board to evaluate UAP data objectively. It brought together defense scientists and intelligence officers to standardize UFO reporting across the Canadian military. While the project ultimately recommended continued data collection, no further public reports were issued and the committee was quietly wound down within three years. Its papers were partially declassified by Library and Archives Canada decades later, revealing internal scepticism about the quality of available sighting data but no firm conclusion. The project is now studied as Canada's principal Cold War-era state response to the UFO question, alongside the parallel Project Magnet.
