The Moncton Icosahedron (also known by code name Operation Close Encounter, or simply the Moncton Spaceship) is an extraterrestrial spacecraft that entered the Earth's atmosphere and suspended itself above the Canadian city of Moncton, located in the Maritime province of New Brunswick, on July 5, 2009. It is the only technological object that is not originally made by humans. Named the Moncton Icosahedron by the American military in the first stages of Operation Parkfield, it has as of June 2012, remained suspended 78.5 metres (257.6 feet) above the city, and no forms of life has appeared out of the spacecraft. It is in the shape of a Compound of five octahedra type Icosahedron, and is covered with an advanced form of ferro-fluid. It measures 227.1 feet (69.2 metres) across, from point to

| - The Moncton Icosahedron (also known by code name Operation Close Encounter, or simply the Moncton Spaceship) is an extraterrestrial spacecraft that entered the Earth's atmosphere and suspended itself above the Canadian city of Moncton, located in the Maritime province of New Brunswick, on July 5, 2009. It is the only technological object that is not originally made by humans. Named the Moncton Icosahedron by the American military in the first stages of Operation Parkfield, it has as of June 2012, remained suspended 78.5 metres (257.6 feet) above the city, and no forms of life has appeared out of the spacecraft. It is in the shape of a Compound of five octahedra type Icosahedron, and is covered with an advanced form of ferro-fluid. It measures 227.1 feet (69.2 metres) across, from point to point, on each one of it's spikes. Most of the residents of Moncton have been relocated to separate districts, in order for the military to have a continued presence of the American and Canadian military within the downtown part of the city. Over 70% of the city's area has been fully militarized by a joint American-Canadian government co-operation, the American-Canadian Moncton Co-operative, abbreviated into the ACMC, protects and maintains the area surrounding the object. The United Nations formed this branch with the collaboration of the American and Canadian government to ensure to safety and security of the earth and its people. The reactions to the presence of the Moncton Icosahedron have ranged from violent to welcoming across the world. Many nations find the object as a threat to the world, and humans. Since the initial presence of the object, the Canadian military has grown by 1500%, with the total Canadian military expenditure reaching C$71.8 billion in 2010, largely supplemented by the American intervention. The UN headquarters has deemed to site "unsafe for any human presence, and a possible threat if approached", according to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during the special session of the United Nations General Assembly on July 7, 2009. As a result, no unauthorized person is allowed within a one km radius of the object, in accordance to UN law. The Canadian and American governments have entered in similar laws and restrictions into their legal systems. International support for this movement is widely supported, since most critics believe that the object is questionable in its intentions, and maybe provoked into violent acts if approached. Most operational ACMC facilities with the militarized zone are on the edge of the zone, and to the east of the city. The western part of the city host the most government agencies and embassies in the area. The eastern part of the city is largely deserted homes and highway checkpoints.
