Unsolved Mysteries Falcon Lake UFO incident.

Just watched this on Unsolved Mysteries..

Location: Falcon Lake, Manitoba
Date: May 20, 1967
Description: Falcon Lake is located in the Whiteshell Provincial Park in southeastern Manitoba, Canada. The lake is reputedly named for Métis poet/songwriter Pierre Falcon (1793-1876). Falcon Lake is a community in Manitoba with a population of 390.








History: On May 20, 1967, fifty-one-year-old Stephen Michalak was prospecting in Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when a UFO appeared from the sky. He described it as two cigarette-shaped ones, one of which landed near him. He claims that he saw a grid-like exhaust vent on the side of it, which shot out a large amount of gas that set his clothes on fire. Mysterious burns also appeared on his body. The UFO then went up into the sky and flew away. Stephen went to the hospital complaining of pain and sickness due to the encounter. A few weeks after it, he took RCMP to the location of the landing site and a semicircle from it was still there. To this day, no one has been able to explain what happened to him or what the UFO was, but interestingly, the burns from it are still on him.

Background: Stephen lived in Winnipeg, Canada, but was in Falcon Lake on vacation with his wife and children.
Investigations: The RCMP became involved soon after the encounter and became skeptical when Stephen initially could not locate the landing site. They also learned that he had consumed large amounts of beer on the night before the encounter. However, in July, he was able to locate the site, and the RCMP was able to locate radiation there.
Extra Notes: This case first aired on the November 4, 1992 episode.
Results: Unsolved. Stephen died in 1999, but the burns remained on his body. Currently, the Canadian Government identifies the case as "unsolved".

Interesting case this.  This is one that the Canadian Government investigated.  It has the lot.  A human witness, physiological effects on the witness, physical evidence in damage to clothing and environmental evidence in radiation readings at the site.

Here is Michelaks's drawing of the UFO.

But Dr. Horace Dudley, a radiologist and APRO advisor at the University of Southern Mississippi, observed that Michalak's: . . . nausea and vomiting followed by diarrhoea and loss of weight is a classical picture of severe whole body [exposure to] radiation with x- or gamma rays. I would guess that Mr. Michalak received on the order of 100-200 roentgens. It is very fortunate that this dose of radiation only lasted a very short time or he would certainly have received a lethal dose. [Lorenzen and Lorenzen 1968: 40-41]

On returning to the site, "They found a ring of debris, thought to have been made when the object lifted off. In addition, they found bits of Michalak's shirt and his tape measure which he had left behind. When they returned to Winnipeg, they informed the RCAF of their findings. "  More physical evidence. http://ufo-joe.tripod.com/cases/michalak.html

The case is covered very well by  Chris Rutkowski on the UFO Joe site.  The controversial radiation readings and metel found at the site which was also looked at by labs are covered. http://ufo-joe.tripod.com/cases/michalak.html


NOTE:  Vril-ya and other persons who find my attitude to weak cases irritating.  This is the kind of evidence that I see as interesting.  Surely you will agree that this is more significant than some white dots on a picture.
