UFO
Yukon Research Society
Who We Are:
UFO Yukon Research Society was formed in 2001 after the October 2000 UFO Conference held in Whitehorse. About a dozen individuals became interested. The founder Martin Jasek, moved to BC in 2001 and Hans Grasholm became the cornerstone of the organization until he passed away unexpectedly in 2005. Interest in keeping the monthly meetings going dwindled. Today, Martin Jasek continues to investigate Yukon as well as BC UFO sightings with the help of Cher Davidson who resides in Whitehorse.
