00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,520
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:08,840
In this episode, we're talking 
about UFOs over Winnipeg. 

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,440
That's correct, UFOs over 
Winnipeg, specifically over the 

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,800
Winnipeg River north of Fort 
Alexander up here in Manitoba, 

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,600
Canada. 
Now this first article comes to 

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,080
us from NDTV, ndtv.com. 
Title says alien sighting 

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:28,720
question mark Canadian couple 
spots mysterious glowing orbs in

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,840
the sky, the objects as bright 
as the sun. 

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,160
We're seeing flying S above the 
Winnipeg Rivers north. 

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,440
Sure. 
This is dated June 29th. 

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Got a spectacular picture here. 
These two very, very bright 

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,400
orbs. 
When they say they're bright as 

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,000
the sun, they're not kidding 
around. 

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,000
And you can see the reflection 
coming down the water. 

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,160
It almost looks like a beam of 
light coming down off these 

16
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,560
sinks. 
In this photograph, a Canadian 

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,160
couple was left stunned after 
they saw two glowing UFOs above 

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,960
the Winnipeg River. 
Justin Stephenson and his wife 

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,880
Danielle Daniel Stephenson were 
driving through Fort Alexander 

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,760
on May 14th when they spotted 
the mysterious orbs with yellow 

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,280
lights. 
The objects as bright as the 

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,280
sun, quote UN quote, were seen 
flying S above the river's North

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,880
Shore, disappearing behind a 
cloud. 

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Stevenson, a self-proclaimed 
skeptic of extraterrestrial 

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,120
life, described the experiences 
like being in a sci-fi movie, 

26
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,480
with the objects appearing as 
super bright like a fire in the 

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,600
sky. 
He began recording footage and 

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600
wondered if they were witnessing
an extraterrestrial encounter. 

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,160
What the blank is that? 
He exclaimed in the footage 

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,480
shared to Facebook. 
Yo, I think we're seeing 

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,440
something. 
The encounter has convinced him 

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,120
there is indeed life beyond 
Earth. 

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,160
I was skeptical before I saw 
this, but now this has given me 

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880
the proof I need that there's 
something out there other than 

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,160
humans, he said, according to 
the New York Post. 

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240
The footage has sparked 
widespread interest, with many 

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,200
calling it a strange anomaly and
a clear shot of UFOs. 

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Oh my word, what is that? 
It's pretty scary. 

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,560
It's so close to home. 
Yikes. 

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,360
A user commented under the 
video, which now has been viewed

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,080
over 650,000 times. 
Another user claimed it could be

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,600
a drone or a UFO, while someone 
else offered a more logical 

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,520
explanation. 
Uh oh, time for the author to 

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,120
get in some debunking here. 
While someone else offered a 

45
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,400
more logical explanation saying 
it was quote swamp gas from a 

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,560
weather balloon mass trapped in 
a thermal pocket and refracted 

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,360
light from Venus. 
Now I really hope that the 

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,560
author of this article isn't 
that out of touch let's say 

49
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,960
because clearly the person that 
left that comment wasn't trying 

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320
to offer a more logical 
explanation. 

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,320
They, they were just using a 
little irony when they, when 

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,840
they bring up many of these 
silly excuses that were given 

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,040
for UFOs, swamp gas, weather 
balloons, thermal pockets, Venus

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400
refracted light. 
So I would not call that a more 

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,000
logical explanation. 
I would call that pointing out 

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280
the absurdness of these excuses.
It goes on here. 

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480
It says Canada has seen a surge 
in UFO sightings with at least 

58
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,000
17 reports filed in 2023. 
Credible sources, including 

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,920
pilots and crews from WestJet, 
Air France and British Airways, 

60
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,160
have come forward with accounts 
of unexplained sightings. 

61
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,880
In February 2023, two airline 
pilots reported strange lights 

62
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,840
in the sky over Quebec, with one
crew member describing the 

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,320
phenomena as a bit weird. 
The sightings are documented in 

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560
an online aviation incident 
database maintained by Transport

65
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Canada. 
Yeah, we've talked about that 

66
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,560
before on the program. 
Really, really strange stuff 

67
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,200
that happened there. 
Now, I want to take a look at 

68
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560
this next article before we move
on to a site that actually 

69
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,840
happened back in 1967 and the 
same general area up there. 

70
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Lots of UFO stuff happening up 
in the province of Manitoba. 

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360
This next article is from New 
York post.com. 

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,440
It says Canadian couple spots, 
mysterious sun like glowing 

73
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560
UFOs. 
Yo, I think we're seeing some 

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,600
aliens. 
This is written by Natalie 

75
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,240
O'Neill dated June 28th, 2024. 
Says a Canadian couple made it 

76
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,520
out of this world discovery when
they spotted 4 UFOs glowing as 

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,280
bright as the sun above a local 
river. 

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,360
Now this is up there in 
Manitoba. 

79
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,520
That's a province in Canada, up 
near Winnipeg, right there in 

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,560
the middle of the country on the
southern kind of toward the 

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,920
southern end of Canada. 
Justin Stephenson and his wife, 

82
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Danielle Daniels Stephenson, 
were driving through Fort 

83
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Alexander at around 10:00 PM. 
May 14th when they saw several 

84
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,120
mysterious orbs with yellow 
lights hovering above the 

85
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Winnipeg River, they said. 
Stephenson, 49, began shooting 

86
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,080
footage of the cosmically cool 
site as he wondered aloud if he 

87
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360
was witnessing an 
extraterrestrial rendezvous. 

88
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,040
What the blank is that he could 
be heard saying in the footage, 

89
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Yo, I think we're seeing some 
aliens. 

90
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,920
The jaw-dropping footage shows 
two objects with sun like lights

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,760
flying S above the river's North
Shore before two more appear 

92
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400
behind a cloud. 
Now this picture is even cooler.

93
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,200
The first picture only had two 
orbs on it. 

94
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,520
This one's got four and all four
of them have these very bright 

95
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,120
reflective, almost like beams of
light coming down that you can 

96
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,680
see there. 
Looks like we're reflecting off 

97
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,080
the water. 
Possibly really neat goes on it,

98
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,320
says. 
Stevenson, a self-proclaimed 

99
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,000
skeptic of otherworldly life, 
said he's convinced the flying 

100
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,400
objects aren't from planet 
Earth. 

101
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,040
It felt like we were in a sci-fi
movie, he told Kennedy News and 

102
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,520
media. 
They were super bright, like a 

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
fire in the sky. 
It's got a picture of him and 

104
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,320
his wife here. 
I was skeptical before I saw 

105
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,760
this, but now this has given me 
the proof I need that there's 

106
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,880
something out there other than 
humans, he said. 

107
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,760
Daniel Stephenson, 32, posted a 
clip of the close encounter on 

108
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,480
Facebook, where it has been 
viewed more than 650,000 times 

109
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,160
as a Friday, while observers 
with observers is calling it a 

110
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,320
strange anomaly and a clear shot
of UFOs. 

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Wow, they've got a blown up 
picture of this thing too. 

112
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,040
Yeah, just not sure what this 
thing is. 

113
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,680
It is really, really weird. 
Some critics pointed out the 

114
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,240
objects could be helicopters, 
drones or flares dropped from 

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,480
planes and obscured by clouds. 
And that's, that's just a 

116
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,480
fantasy thinking the naysayers 
going to have their opinions, 

117
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,960
but I disagree. 
Stevenson said. 

118
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,440
Well, you don't have to be that 
observant of a person to realize

119
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,360
that these things are not 
helicopters or drones. 

120
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,160
Really, really great footage 
there. 

121
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,680
And the pictures of the thing 
are spectacular. 

122
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Like I said, I'll put the links 
over at Kofi. 

123
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,000
As always, thanks to the people 
that support the program there. 

124
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520
It really helps out and it 
Spotify and also to everybody 

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,560
that likes, follows and 
subscribes gives the anomaly on 

126
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,280
this program rolling. 
Now this area, like I said, is 

127
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,200
up near Winnipeg. 
I'll put a link to the map. 

128
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,400
If you just go to if, if you 
just look at a map here, like 

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Winnipeg is going to be north of
North Dakota and Minnesota say 

130
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680
so. 
If you just head directly north,

131
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,200
I don't know what, maybe a 
hundred, 150 miles or something,

132
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,400
they have Winnipeg and then you 
have this Fort Alexander, the 

133
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,360
Winnipeg River, that whole area 
up in there. 

134
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:42,760
They do have a history of UFO 
encounters and sightings. 

135
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
I want to take a look at one of 
these more famous ones. 

136
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Now. 
This next encounter happened at 

137
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,600
Falcon Lake, Canada, which is 
oh, about two hours South, I 

138
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,440
suppose. 
It says here on Google from Fort

139
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Alexander. 
Now the sighting we just talked 

140
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,240
about, that's Fort Alexander. 
That's at the very southern tip 

141
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,760
of Lake Winnipeg up there in 
Manitoba, the central province 

142
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,960
in Canada, and it looks like a 
very wilderness area outside of 

143
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,440
the city of Winnipeg being a 
little South of there. 

144
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,760
I'm just saying that the a lot 
of a lot of timber in that area.

145
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Now if you go, oh, about two 
hours more or less S to a little

146
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,440
bit SE, you get on to an area 
called Falcon Lake. 

147
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,400
And there's the lake itself 
there in this little town. 

148
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,280
And this is another kind of area
out in the country, but within 

149
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,880
driving distance of Winnipeg, 
where many years ago there was a

150
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,880
another UFO encounter, this one 
quite involved. 

151
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000
This article here is from 
cbc.ca. 

152
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,080
It tells us Falcon Lake incident
is Canada's best documented UFO 

153
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,880
case, even 50 years later. 
This article written May 19th, 

154
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,600
2017. 
Son of man involved in famous 

155
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,920
Manitoba UFO case has written a 
book about ongoing mystery. 

156
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,440
It's got a picture of the fellow
here. 

157
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,560
This gentleman's name was Stefan
Stefan or Steven Mekalak and it 

158
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,840
says he was treated at a 
hospital for burns to his chest 

159
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,760
and stomach that later turned 
into raised sores on a grid like

160
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
pattern. 
Looks like someone just took a 

161
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,920
hot griddle and stuck over the 
top of him. 

162
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,600
I mean I'm counting 12345. 
Like little maybe squares or 

163
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,960
circles and there's maybe 5 down
and five across. 

164
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Picks up most of this guy's 
Billy and it's really bizarre 

165
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,280
looking how that could have 
happened. 

166
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Stan Milichek can still vividly 
remember when his dad came home 

167
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,400
sick and injured after something
happened in the Falcon Lake 

168
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,560
Woods in Manitoba in the May 
long weekend of 1967. 

169
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,480
It was something that put his 
family life into upheaval and 

170
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,120
remains one of the world's best 
known UFO encounters. 

171
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,720
Quote I recall seeing him in 
bed. 

172
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,600
He didn't look good at all. 
He looked pale, said Mick Locke,

173
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,360
who was nine years old at the 
time and was allowed to see his 

174
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,560
dad for a couple of minutes on 
the day after what soon would 

175
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,360
become known as the Falcon Lake 
incident. 

176
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Then there was the smell. 
When I walked into the room, 

177
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,200
there was a huge stink in the 
room, like a real horrible aroma

178
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,200
of sulfur and burnt motor. 
It was all around and it was 

179
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,440
coming out of his pores. 
It was bad, said Michalak, who 

180
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,440
co-authored the book when they 
appeared, when they appeared 

181
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,200
with Winnipeg UFO researcher 
Chris Rakowski. 

182
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,000
And it's got that. 
It's got a diagram here of his, 

183
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:51,280
of his dad that drew this this 
spacecraft, and it's got all the

184
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,200
notations on it. 
Looks like a classic flying 

185
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,120
saucer to me. 
It says Stefan Michalak's sketch

186
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,920
of the strange craft he 
encountered. 

187
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,680
The book will be launched on 
Saturday. 

188
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,400
Of course, this is from a few 
years ago in conjunction with 

189
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,640
the 50th anniversary of the 
incident. 

190
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,200
I was very afraid. 
My dad had been injured and I 

191
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,880
didn't know anything about it, 
Michael Lock told CBC News in 

192
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,080
recalling that Saturday 50 years
later. 

193
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,800
Within a couple of days, 
however, not only did he know 

194
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,080
more, so did much of the public.
The story about his dad being 

195
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,040
burned by a UFO ran in the 
Winnipeg Tribune newspaper. 

196
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,960
And that's when everything 
pretty much hit the fan, 

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Michalak said. 
Stefan Michalak was an 

198
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,040
industrial mechanic by trade and
an amateur geologist who would 

199
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,640
like to venture into the 
wilderness around Falcon Lake, 

200
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,440
about 150 kilometers east of 
Winnipeg, to prospect for course

201
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,880
and silver. 
So he's about 100 miles away. 

202
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,880
He had staked some claims for 
prior year and set out on the 

203
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,480
May long weekend in 1967 to 
explore some more. 

204
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:03,360
On May 20th, 1967, Stephen was 
near a vein of courts along the 

205
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,480
pregame along the Pre Cambrian 
Shield in the area when the 51 

206
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,120
year old was startled by a 
gaggle of nearby geese that 

207
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,000
erupted into a chattering of 
honks, according to his 

208
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400
accounts. 
As he reported in newspapers at 

209
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,400
the time and since repeated in 
books, magazines and on TV shows

210
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,000
like Unsolved Mysteries, Stefan 
looked up and saw two cigar 

211
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,520
shaped objects with a reddish 
glow hovering about 45 meters 

212
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,920
away. 
So these things look like 

213
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,880
they're what, about 150 feet 
away or something? 

214
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,120
One descended, according to 
Stefan's account, landing on a 

215
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,040
flat section of rock and taking 
on more of a disk shape. 

216
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,360
The other remained in the air 
for a few minutes before flying 

217
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,120
off, believing it to be a secret
U.S. military experimental 

218
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,080
aircraft. 
He sat back down and sketched it

219
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,040
over the next half hour. 
Then he decided to approach 

220
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,920
later, recalling the warm air 
and smell of sulphur as he got 

221
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,440
closer, as well as a whirring 
sound of motors and a hissing of

222
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,120
air. 
So this thing was sitting here 

223
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,000
for quite a while. 
It sounds like it's got a 

224
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,240
picture of his shirt here he's 
worn. 

225
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,200
He's got this kind of, you know,
muscle man shirt on, sleeveless 

226
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600
T-shirt. 
And it's got some pretty serious

227
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,920
burn damage done to it. 
And then it's also got a couple 

228
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,600
pieces of metal. 
Looks like he recovered. 

229
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,720
It goes on here. 
It says a piece of radioactive 

230
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,520
metal that was retrieved from 
the crash site in 1968. 

231
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,800
It was found in the cracks of 
the pre Cambrian rock. 

232
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,240
So this little chunk of metal 
had fallen down in between those

233
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,160
rocks. 
Apparently. 

234
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:42,240
He also noted a door open on the
side with bright lights inside. 

235
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:46,360
And he said he heard voices 
muffled by the sounds of the 

236
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,760
craft. 
This is one of these, another 

237
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,480
one of these situations where 
you seem to have a craft that 

238
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,360
maybe it's disabled and the 
occupants inside are trying to 

239
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,480
figure out how to correct the 
situation. 

240
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,080
A recurring theme, it seems 
like. 

241
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,080
He goes on and says he also 
noted a door open on the side 

242
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520
with bright lights inside and 
said he heard voices muffled by 

243
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,640
the sounds from the craft. 
He said he called out, offering 

244
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,960
mechanical help to the Yankee 
boys if they needed it. 

245
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760
The voices went quiet but did 
not answer. 

246
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,880
So Stefan tried to tried in his 
native Polish, then in Russian, 

247
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,840
and finally in German. 
Only the whirr and hiss of the 

248
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,720
craft responded. 
He claims he went closer and 

249
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,400
noted the smooth metal of the 
ship with no seams. 

250
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,240
He then looked into the bright 
doorway, pulling on the welding,

251
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840
putting on the welding goggles 
he used to protect his eyes 

252
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,560
while chipping at rocks during 
prospecting. 

253
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,120
Inside, Stefan said he saw light
beams and panels of various 

254
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,200
colored flashing lights but 
could not see anyone or any 

255
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,880
living thing. 
When he stepped away, 3 panels 

256
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280
slid across the door opening and
sealed it. 

257
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,680
He reached to touch the craft 
which he said melted the 

258
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,200
fingertips of the glove he was 
wearing. 

259
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,200
So this thing must have been 
hot, but I wonder if if the heat

260
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,000
was radiating off it or if the 
heat was just located on the 

261
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,600
middle itself because it seems 
like he walked up to it OK, and 

262
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280
if it was hot enough to melt his
gloves. 

263
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,520
Under normal situations, you 
would think that that heat would

264
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,160
have been radiating off that 
craft and it would have been hot

265
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,480
as you approached it. 
But it almost seems like the 

266
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,120
heat was just contained to the 
skin of that craft until he 

267
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840
touched it. 
It says the craft then begin to 

268
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,480
turn counterclockwise and Stefan
says you notice a panel that 

269
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,480
contained a grid of holes. 
Shortly afterward, he was struck

270
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,040
in the chest by a blast of air 
or gas that pushed him backward 

271
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,520
and set his shirt and cap 
ablaze. 

272
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,080
So he sees this panel, this grid
panel, the same grid pattern 

273
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,720
that he has on his belly. 
And it seems like what happened 

274
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,960
was this craft is it blasted off
hot air and gas came out through

275
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
that grid panel. 
And that hot air and gas is 

276
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,440
probably what just what just 
fried his skin right there. 

277
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,080
And that was that. 
Some radiation or burns or 

278
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040
whatever. 
He ripped away the burning 

279
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,880
garments as a craft lifted off 
and flew away. 

280
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,320
Disoriented and nauseous, Stefan
stumbled through the forest and 

281
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,920
vomited. 
He eventually made his way back 

282
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,000
to his motel room in Falcon 
Lake, then caught a bus back to 

283
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Winnipeg. 
He was treated at a hospital for

284
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720
burns to his chest and stomach 
that later turned into raised 

285
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,320
sores on a good like pattern, 
and for weeks afterward he 

286
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,360
suffered from diarrhea, 
headaches, blackouts and weight 

287
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,240
loss. 
Once the story was out, the 

288
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,760
RCMP, the Air Force, the media, 
various government agencies and 

289
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,320
hordes of gawking members of the
public descended on. 

290
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Mickalack's small River Heights 
bungalow in Winnipeg. 

291
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,040
Has a picture of this fellow 
here wearing the goggles that he

292
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880
had. 
That's who Mickalack refers to 

293
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,600
in the title of the book, Whose 
endless visitors and phone 

294
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,240
calls, the media and people 
camping on the lawn, The people 

295
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,000
who would follow Mickalack to 
school one day, peppering him 

296
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,800
with questions. 
It just flipped our lives over, 

297
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,040
he said. 
It took several years before it 

298
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,280
finally died down. 
After that, and until the day he

299
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,839
died in 1999 at the age of 83, 
Stephon believed he never should

300
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:26,760
have said a thing, Michael Act 
said. 

301
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,960
But at that time, he felt it was
a duty. 

302
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,200
He wanted others, if they were 
to see the same thing, to avoid 

303
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,120
it and not get hurt, Michael Act
said. 

304
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,560
And Poland, before Stephon moved
his family to Canada, he was a 

305
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,840
military policeman with a set of
moral guidelines that he lived 

306
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,840
by. 
That is, if something happened, 

307
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:47,960
it should be reported. 
Michalak said. 

308
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,680
In addition to constant probing 
from authorities, the family 

309
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,520
endured condemnation and 
criticism in the public. 

310
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,680
Stefan's sanity was questioned 
and Michalak was bullied in 

311
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,600
school. 
All that depersoning for 

312
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,200
reporting a UFO sighting though,
he wished he hadn't seen 

313
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,840
anything. 
Stefan never backed away from 

314
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,280
the story either. 
He also claimed to have seen 

315
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,120
aliens and still considered it a
secret military craft. 

316
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,440
If you ask him what it was he 
saw, he could describe it in 

317
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,680
intimate detail, but he would 
never say, oh it was definitely 

318
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,640
extraterrestrials because there 
was no evidence to prove that, 

319
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,560
said Michalak. 
He might ask, what do you think 

320
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,160
I saw? 
But right up until he died, his 

321
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,760
story never changed one iota. 
Nothing about it or how he told 

322
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,280
it and all those years since and
with some 300 pages of 

323
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,680
documentation on the encounter, 
there's nothing so far that has 

324
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,520
flawed his story, Michael X 
said. 

325
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,720
So what does he think? 
I'm not so close minded that I 

326
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,440
can't entertain the possibility 
that it's otherworldly. 

327
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,080
I can't discount that. 
But without specific evidence to

328
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,440
show me that it is, I don't 
know, Michael X said. 

329
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,560
What I can tell you is that I'm 
an aviation fanatic, a huge 

330
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,680
aviation buff, and I am very 
familiar with how aviation 

331
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,400
technology has advanced in the 
past 50 years, and there was 

332
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,600
nothing even close to that and 
that works anywhere at that 

333
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,800
time. 
The case was investigated 

334
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,760
intensely by a number of levels 
of government, and the official 

335
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,120
conclusion, even from the United
States Air Force, was that the 

336
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,640
cause was unexplained, Grotowski
noted. 

337
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,040
The Falcon Lake incident is 
possibly Canada's best 

338
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,440
documented UFO case, he said. 
That even beats Roswell, the 

339
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,560
alleged flying disk that landed 
in New Mexico in 1947, because 

340
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,640
the United States still doesn't 
recognize that anything happened

341
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,120
in Roswell. 
Out of the ordinary items were 

342
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,560
later retrieved from the 
encounter site, including 

343
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,240
Stephen's glove, shirt and some 
tools, which were subjected to 

344
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,560
intensive analysis at the RCMP 
crime lab. 

345
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080
None. 
No one could determine what 

346
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,880
caused the burns. 
At the landing site was a circle

347
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,840
about 15 feet in diameter, 
devoid of the Moss and 

348
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,680
vegetation growing in other 
areas of the same rock 

349
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760
outcropping. 
Soil samples, along with samples

350
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,640
of clothing, were tested and 
deemed to be highly radioactive.

351
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,920
So were pieces of metal that 
were chipped out of the cracks 

352
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,240
in the rock. 
About a year after the incident,

353
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
the metal had somehow been 
melted into the cracks. 

354
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,040
Many of the items have long 
since been lost as they were 

355
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,280
transferred through various 
authorities and agencies, 

356
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,680
however. 
Rakowski and Miclach still have 

357
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,520
one piece of the metal, which 
remains radioactive. 

358
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:34,240
Still sick in 1968, with 
recurrences of burns showing up 

359
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,920
on his chest and suffering from 
blackouts, Stefan went to the 

360
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. 
Doctors did a thorough 

361
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,800
investigation and even sent him 
to a psychiatrist who came back 

362
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,480
with a report that that this is 
a fellow who's very pragmatic, 

363
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,720
very down to earth, pardon the 
pun, and does not make up 

364
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,280
stories. 
Mutowski said. 

365
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760
If dad hoax this, remember we're
talking about a blue collar 

366
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,760
industrial mechanic. 
If he hoaxed it, then he was a 

367
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,320
freaking genius, said Mccallack.
Well, I think he just had an 

368
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,000
honest experience, reported what
he saw, reported what happened 

369
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,360
to him and had the physical 
evidence in the forms of these 

370
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:17,040
burns or injuries on his on his 
stomach to show that something 

371
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,320
absolutely had happened. 
You can see this T-shirt here, 

372
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,040
part of it's burnt, it has this 
grid pattern just just drilled 

373
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,040
right into it, like almost like 
dots or or large, you know, some

374
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,680
of them are almost kind of a 
square shape repeatedly just 

375
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,440
just burnt into the cloth of 
this T-shirt. 

376
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,880
What whatever came out of that 
thing, besides being hot, it had

377
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,760
some of the property about the 
radioactivity or whatever that 

378
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,240
caused the injuries of this man,
caused the damage to the 

379
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,640
clothes, but more than that 
showed that he definitely came 

380
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,800
in contact with something. 
Lots of weird things going on in

381
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,160
Winnipeg and have been for a 
long time. 

382
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,480
Until next time, this is UFO 
warning over and out.
