Transport Canada's "Aeronautical Information Publication" (AIP) has the following to say about CIRVIS Reports ...
1.12 Pilot Reports
1.12.1 General
Pilots are requested to make the following reports in the interests of national security, meteorite research and forest fire and polution control:
1.12.2 CIRVIS Reports
In order to extend the early warning coverage for the North American continent a plan has been developed for the reporting of vital intelligence sightings. These reports are known as CIRVIS reports.
A CIRVIS report shall be made immediately upon the sighting of any airborne, waterborne or ground objects, or activities which appear to be hostile, suspicious or unidentified. A few examples are: unidentified flying objects; submarines; surface warships positively identified as not Canadian or American; nuclear bursts or other violent explosions; or any unexplained or unusual activity which may indicate a possible attack, including the presence of any unidentified or suspicious ground parties in polar regions or other remote or sparsely populated areas.
These reports shall be made to the nearest Canadian or U.S. Government FSS or ATC unit. The first word of the report shall be CIRVIS (pronounced SURVEES), followed by the particulars of the sighting.
(Note: FSS = Flight Service Station ATC= Air Traffic Control)
---------------------------------------------
Transport Canada's Air Traffic Control Operations Manual indicates the following:
256 CIRVIS MESSAGES
256.1 Forward any CIRVIS report received to the appropriate area control centre.
256.2 Area control centres shall forward any CIRVIS report received to the Senior Director at the appropriate sector (Canada East or Canada West) of the Canadian NORAD Region.

... now for JANAP ...
The following document is JANAP 146 (E) which was obtained from the
Computer UFO Network (CUFON) ... I hope no one objects to me reposting it
here ...
This file contains the complete text of: Joint Army-Navy-Air Force
Publication (JANAP 146(E)), CANADIAN - UNITED STATES COMMUNICATIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING VITAL INTELLIGENCE SIGHTINGS (CIRVIS/MERINT) as
released on February 28, 1994 by the Assistant to the Secretary of
Defense.
The regulation is complete including "change No. 2", promulgated May 17,
1977. Only ten of the 33 pages (not including blank pages) are the
"original" JANAP 146(E), the remaining 23 pages are as "Change No. 2".
JANAP 146 is important for a couple of reasons:
1. It is mentioned in the "Bollender Memo" (dated 1969) as being one of
the "reporting channels" by which UFO reports which are matters of national
security are reported; UFO reports "not part of the Blue Book system".
2. This copy is dated 1977 and still bears "Unidentified flying
objects" as one of the items which must be reported despite protestations by
virtually every agency queried that ther has been no interest in UFOs since the
USAF Project Blue Book closed in 1969.
Some hand written notes appear in the released pages, and some typed text is
crossed out generally by a single hand drawn line. This information has been
retained:
1. [ Text in [ ] brackets is crossed out in original ]
2. { Text in curly brackets { } is hand written in original }
3. _Text enclosed with underscores _ _ is underlined in original
4. { |}, {| }, or {|} indicates bars drawn in margin (presumably
indicating areas of additional change)

a possible attack against or through Canada or the United States, includ-
ing the presence of any unidentified or other suspicious ground parties
in the Polar Region or other remote or sparsely populated areas.

(c) Any airborne, seaborne, ballistic or orbiting
{| }object which, the observer feels, may constitute a military threat
{| }against the US or Canada, or may be of interest to military and civilian
{| }government officials.
_SECTION II - PROCEDURES_
202. _General._
a. Communications procedures to be employed will be basically
those prescribed for the communications system or service used. Con-
tinuing efforts will be made by an aircraft originating a CIRVIS report
to insure that each CIRVIS message is received by an appropriate station.
b. Every attempt will be made to verify the authenticity of
CIRVIS reports. Where possible, authentication will be required.
{| } c. The US Air Force, Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR), for
{| }such matters is the Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence (AFIN),
{| }Washington, DC 20330.
203. _Precedence (priority of transmission)._
a. To avoid delays by aircraft in rendering a CIRVIS report to a
ground facility, the word "CIRVIS" spoken or transmitted three (3) times
will be employed, preceding the call, to clear the frequency(ies) over
all other communications, except DISTRESS and URGENCY, to insure its
expeditious handling.
b. Should instances occur, when use of the above procedure fails
to clear the frequency(ies) over all other communications in progress
except as provided for in 203a, the International Urgency Signal "XXX"
transmitted three (3) times or "PAN" spoken three (3) times will be
employed to facilitate disposition of the message to the receiving faci-
lity.
c. When filing or refiling CIRVIS messages with commercial communi-
cations companies, US Government activities will use commercial class of
service designator XV GOVT/EMERGENCY, Canadian Government activities will
use commercial class of service designator RUSH.
d. The following precedence will be employed in the transmission
of all CIRVIS reports, as appropriate, commensurate with the communica-
tions facilities used:

c. A post landing report is desired immediately after landing by
CINCNORAD or RCAF-ADC to amplify the airborne
report(s). this may be filed with either the Canadian or United
States military or civil communications facilities located
at the place of landing. If the landing is not made in
Canadian or United States territory the report should be
2-8 ORIGINAL
=============================================================================
JANAP 146 (E)
made to the nearest Canadian or United States military or diplomatic
representative in that area. The post-landing report will refer to the
airborne report(s) and, in addition, contain a brief resume of weather
conditions at the time of sighting(s), verification of the sighting(s)
by other personnel and any other information deemed appropriate. If the
sighting was identified as friendly and a report so stating was filed
while airborne, no post-landing report is required.
(1) If no airborne report was made as a result of inability
to reach a Canadian or United States communications station, the post
landing report w
