00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:05,240
hello it's Wednesday May 24th 2017 you

2
00:00:10,549 --> 00:00:07,710
are listening to inception radio network

3
00:00:14,289 --> 00:00:10,559
voice of the fringe majority this is

4
00:00:18,109 --> 00:00:14,299
Carol Carl with UFO headline news

5
00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:18,119
tonight skywatching can include a little

6
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:20,760
bit of stargazing you can look for Deneb

7
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:22,699
the brightest star in the constellation

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:26,550
Cygnus the Swan the night sky chart that

9
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:28,650
you can see later at UFO headline news

10
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:31,800
calm will show you a lovely view it

11
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:33,360
depicts what you'll see toward the

12
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:35,579
northwest in mid to late evening during

13
00:00:39,709 --> 00:00:38,070
the month of May it's a view from mid

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:39,719
northern latitudes but with a little

15
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:42,570
imaginative juxtapositioning you can see

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:44,190
what it's like from where you are on

17
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:46,530
planet earth it's by looking in this

18
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:48,809
direction you can get a good look at the

19
00:00:53,090 --> 00:00:50,940
bright star Deneb that ought to be

20
00:00:56,450 --> 00:00:53,100
visible even in tonight's moon drenched

21
00:00:59,299 --> 00:00:56,460
skies according to earth sky org this

22
00:01:02,510 --> 00:00:59,309
star is part of not one but two striking

23
00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:02,520
star patterns or asterisms and it's one

24
00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:04,140
of the most distant stars we can see

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:07,080
with the eye alone well over 1,000

26
00:01:10,539 --> 00:01:07,890
light-years away

27
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:10,549
Deneb is part of the summer triangle

28
00:01:14,570 --> 00:01:13,080
asterism pattern along with the Stars

29
00:01:17,060 --> 00:01:14,580
Vega and Altair

30
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:17,070
it's that triangle it's going to be well

31
00:01:21,679 --> 00:01:18,990
up in the east and mid evening next

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:21,689
month on these Northern Hemisphere late

33
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:24,210
spring evenings you might not be able to

34
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:26,070
see the whole summer triangle until

35
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:28,740
later at night the star Altair will be

36
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:30,630
the last of these three stars to rise

37
00:01:36,109 --> 00:01:33,360
but you can see the bright star Deneb

38
00:01:38,590 --> 00:01:36,119
it's to the lower left of Vega and it's

39
00:01:40,819 --> 00:01:38,600
the summer triangles brightest star

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:40,829
Deneb is also part of something a

41
00:01:45,649 --> 00:01:43,890
smaller something a cross like pattern

42
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:45,659
it's the brightest star in the

43
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:48,600
constellation Cygnus the Swan if you

44
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,610
look at that cross like pattern

45
00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:52,799
indicated on the chart you can find

46
00:01:57,980 --> 00:01:55,350
later you might be able to imagined in

47
00:02:00,980 --> 00:01:57,990
AB as the point marking the short tail

48
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:00,990
of the long necked Swan flying toward

49
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:04,170
the south and this is how early arabian

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:06,840
stargazers saw it the named Deneb comes

51
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,090
from the arabic and it means tail in

52
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:11,760
skylord Deneb is often said to be the

53
00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:12,660
tail

54
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:14,790
the Swan and don't forget that little

55
00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:19,650
star Alba Rio Al bi REO that marks the

56
00:02:24,650 --> 00:02:22,680
Swans head but the team at earth sky org

57
00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:24,660
reminds us there's another way to see

58
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:26,670
this pattern of stars that works just as

59
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:30,060
well in more modern sky lore the pattern

60
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:31,860
is sometimes called the northern cross

61
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:35,340
it looks like a cross right so if you

62
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:37,110
prefer to see the cross instead of the

63
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:40,110
swan Deneb marks the head of the cross

64
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:43,410
cross or swan it's a lovely pattern to

65
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:45,990
pick out on the skies dome astronomers

66
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:47,640
know that Deneb is one of the most

67
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:49,620
distant stars we can see with the

68
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:52,590
unaided eye the exact distance to Deneb

69
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:55,350
can only be estimated those estimates

70
00:03:01,160 --> 00:02:58,560
range from about 1,400 25 light years to

71
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:01,170
perhaps as much as 7,000 light years

72
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:04,020
away at any of these estimated distances

73
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:07,020
Deneb is one of the farthest stars for

74
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:09,930
the unaided human eye to see it is so

75
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:12,690
far away that the light that reaches the

76
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:15,390
earth today started on its journey well

77
00:03:21,860 --> 00:03:19,380
more than 1,000 years ago bottom line

78
00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:21,870
the star Deneb is part of the summer

79
00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:24,660
triangle asterism and it's part of the

80
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:27,300
constellation Cygnus the Swan Swan

81
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:30,060
enthral a night sky which can also be

82
00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:33,030
seen as a cross so look for the star to

83
00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:36,630
nab tonight as well at over 1,000

84
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:37,350
light-years away

85
00:03:43,130 --> 00:03:39,630
it's one of the most distant stars we

86
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:43,140
can see with our eye alone we found an

87
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:46,230
update on that emergency ISS repair

88
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:49,350
spacewalk mission it wasn't easy

89
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:52,110
apparently it's slow to be published the

90
00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:54,120
usual sources just simply have the

91
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:56,190
notification that the walk was going to

92
00:04:03,500 --> 00:03:59,280
take place well we found this from blogs

93
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:03,510
dot nasa.gov headline short spacewalk

94
00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:06,570
complete after successful installation

95
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:08,430
work that's the good news

96
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:11,250
expedition 51 commander peggy whitson

97
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:13,680
and flight engineer Jack Fischer of NASA

98
00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:17,130
concluded their spacewalk at 10:06 p.m.

99
00:04:25,159 --> 00:04:20,280
Eastern Daylight Time this particular

100
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:25,169
post was made at 10:13 a.m. May 23 2017

101
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:26,490
so we're going

102
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:28,470
take it that mark Garcia found this news

103
00:04:33,469 --> 00:04:31,050
and immediately went to work to get it

104
00:04:35,809 --> 00:04:33,479
to us now we're getting it to you gentle

105
00:04:38,510 --> 00:04:35,819
listeners that spacewalk lasted two

106
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:38,520
hours and 46 minutes during that time

107
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:40,680
the two astronauts successfully replaced

108
00:04:45,559 --> 00:04:43,410
a computer relay box and installed a

109
00:04:47,689 --> 00:04:45,569
pair of antennas on the station to

110
00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:47,699
enhance wireless communication for

111
00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:51,000
future spacewalks space walkers have now

112
00:04:56,510 --> 00:04:54,479
spent a total of 1,250 hours and 41

113
00:04:59,960 --> 00:04:56,520
minutes working outside the station

114
00:05:03,350 --> 00:04:59,970
during 201 spacewalks supporting the

115
00:05:04,969 --> 00:05:03,360
assembly and maintenance of the ISS this

116
00:05:05,420 --> 00:05:04,979
was the tenth spacewalk for Peggy

117
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:05,430
Whitson

118
00:05:10,670 --> 00:05:08,130
who moves into third place all time for

119
00:05:13,249 --> 00:05:10,680
cumulative space walking time it was

120
00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:13,259
Jack Fischer's second walk it began when

121
00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:15,180
the two NASA astronauts switched their

122
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:18,180
spacesuits to battery power at 7:20 a.m.

123
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:21,050
Eastern Daylight Time aboard the ISS

124
00:05:26,529 --> 00:05:23,759
they were going to begin a spacewalk

125
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:26,539
planned to last only 2.5 hours

126
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:29,039
expedition 51 commander Peggy Whitson

127
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:31,500
and flight engineer Jack Fisher were

128
00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:34,080
replacing that critical computer box oh

129
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:37,080
and what ever did they wear and well

130
00:05:40,939 --> 00:05:39,630
Peggy Whitson was wearing the white suit

131
00:05:43,339 --> 00:05:40,949
with the red stripes

132
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:43,349
she was the extra-vehicular crew member

133
00:05:48,529 --> 00:05:45,840
one or Evie one Jack Fischer

134
00:05:50,779 --> 00:05:48,539
extra-vehicular crew member - Evie -

135
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:50,789
wore just that attractive white suit

136
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:53,580
with no stripes you can find it in the

137
00:06:00,249 --> 00:05:57,330
NASA archives NASA TV and we'll post a

138
00:06:03,770 --> 00:06:00,259
link to that later at UF o headline news

139
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:03,780
yes it's wayback Wednesday and to grease

140
00:06:08,719 --> 00:06:05,849
the wheels of that particular machinery

141
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:08,729
let's go to UFO stalker calm for an

142
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:11,280
older sighting it's MUFON case number

143
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:14,310
eight three nine zero eight the date of

144
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:18,900
this sighting is March 31st 1992 but it

145
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:20,880
didn't get reported by anybody involved

146
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:24,270
until the 22nd of May this year it took

147
00:06:29,629 --> 00:06:27,030
place in Nottingham no not England

148
00:06:34,159 --> 00:06:29,639
Nottingham Maryland in the United States

149
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:34,169
there's a summary four or five huge disk

150
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:37,949
shaped objects hovering low over power

151
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:40,410
lines witnessed by several people

152
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:43,890
including police the viewing specifics

153
00:06:50,630 --> 00:06:47,850
include a distance quite close 21 to 100

154
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:50,640
feet initially the altitude treetop

155
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:54,570
sighting duration 30 minutes the object

156
00:06:58,940 --> 00:06:56,310
features are simply described as other

157
00:07:01,930 --> 00:06:58,950
the object flight path was stationary

158
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:01,940
and this thing was shaped like a disc

159
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:04,350
Nottingham Maryland had this kind of

160
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:06,000
weather at the time of this observation

161
00:07:11,870 --> 00:07:08,760
a maximum temperature of 57 degrees

162
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:11,880

163
00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:14,130
minimum temperature of 42 degrees

00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:16,950
Fahrenheit six degrees Celsius the

165
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:20,730
visibility factors maximum 10 miles 16

kilometers down to a minimum of three

167
00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:26,400
miles five kilometers it was foggy at

168
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:30,390
the time here's what happened one night

169
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:33,210
I was sitting inside watching TV when my

170
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:35,160
father came in from taking the trash

171
00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:37,890
down to the curb he was very excited he

172
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:39,540
was saying I had to come outside and see

173
00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:42,000
something but when I asked him what it

174
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:45,780
was he just said I don't know so I went

175
00:07:49,910 --> 00:07:47,850
outside and found several of our

176
00:07:52,850 --> 00:07:49,920
neighbors standing in the street

177
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:52,860
pointing to the sky I looked up and saw

178
00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:56,940
four or five huge oval disc shaped

179
00:08:00,800 --> 00:07:59,520
objects silently hovering in the sky

180
00:08:03,770 --> 00:08:00,810
above the powerlines

181
00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:03,780
they were behind the houses you could

182
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:06,480
see the object outline its coloring was

183
00:08:11,690 --> 00:08:09,360
dark gray and rectangular shaped lights

184
00:08:14,210 --> 00:08:11,700
spaced equally around the perimeter of

185
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,220
all of the object they were blinking

186
00:08:18,860 --> 00:08:16,800
sequentially one of our neighbors called

187
00:08:20,990 --> 00:08:18,870
the police who came out they called

188
00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:21,000
local airports who said nothing was

189
00:08:25,310 --> 00:08:23,700
flying over our area at the time they

190
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:25,320
said they'd file a police report and

191
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:27,570
they called more police officers to come

192
00:08:32,810 --> 00:08:30,570
out and see these objects several people

193
00:08:34,969 --> 00:08:32,820
stood there watching these objects the

194
00:08:38,450 --> 00:08:34,979
object stayed totally still they were

195
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:38,460
silently hovering and then after 30 to

196
00:08:44,089 --> 00:08:41,430
40 minutes they all just disappeared

197
00:08:46,910 --> 00:08:44,099
they didn't take off or fly away they

198
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:46,920
just disappeared we all stood there for

199
00:08:50,810 --> 00:08:48,690
a while after they left to see if they

200
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:50,820
were going to come back several people

201
00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:52,170
said that even though we could no longer

202
00:08:56,390 --> 00:08:53,880
see the object

203
00:08:59,930 --> 00:08:56,400
they felt like the objects were still

204
00:09:01,730 --> 00:08:59,940
there maybe just hidden somehow during

205
00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:01,740
all of this my neighbor was recording

206
00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:03,870
with an old VHS camera

207
00:09:09,380 --> 00:09:06,420
the next day she played the tape only to

208
00:09:12,590 --> 00:09:09,390
find the screen was snow but you could

209
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:12,600
still hear what was going on this was an

210
00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:14,880
incredible close encounter sighting

211
00:09:19,550 --> 00:09:17,640
witnessed by multiple people including

212
00:09:22,010 --> 00:09:19,560
police officers and I've never

213
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:22,020
understood how it didn't make the news

214
00:09:30,380 --> 00:09:27,090
back in 1992 well it kind of did make

215
00:09:32,750 --> 00:09:30,390
our niche world news just now huzzah and

216
00:09:34,940 --> 00:09:32,760
let's toss in another huzzah over the

217
00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:34,950
good luck that it was a mutual sighting

218
00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:37,380
while not just mutual make that multiple

219
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:40,980
involving the police outstanding from

220
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Nottingham Maryland to New York New York

golden light-emitting formation changed

227
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:08,220
disappeared sighting specifics offer a

228
00:10:13,550 --> 00:10:10,770
viewing distance here over one mile the

229
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:13,560
altitude was unknown the entire sighting

230
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:16,290
duration was one minute but the object

231
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:18,930
features are described as unknown its

232
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:21,210
flight path was stationary and its shape

233
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:24,090
was star like there isn't any report of

234
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:26,640
meteorology so let's just read this

235
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:30,630
short report formation of golden lights

236
00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:34,290
observed over Lake Ontario the lights

237
00:10:38,210 --> 00:10:36,660
were in a v-shaped pattern this was

238
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:38,220
according to the other witnesses but

239
00:10:44,450 --> 00:10:40,830
when I observed them the pattern seemed

240
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:44,460
more random the oddest part is they all

241
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:48,210
disappeared instantly I'm familiar with

242
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:50,250
flares used by both the United States

243
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:52,830
and Canadian Coast Guard but I've never

244
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:55,170
seen them in a tight formation and I've

245
00:11:01,070 --> 00:10:57,570
never seen them all burned out at the

246
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:01,080
exact same moment at first glance they

247
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:03,150
appeared to be fireworks but they did

248
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:06,240
not do the fade flutter descend that

249
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:07,720
fireworks do

250
00:11:13,189 --> 00:11:09,970
I'm startled mostly by the fact that

251
00:11:15,629 --> 00:11:13,199
these objects all went away instantly

252
00:11:18,119 --> 00:11:15,639
this broadcaster is reminded of the

253
00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:18,129
famous meme of the New York second

254
00:11:23,369 --> 00:11:20,439
perhaps that's an intergalactic Lee

255
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:23,379
known thing perhaps something to do with

256
00:11:27,869 --> 00:11:24,810
the space-time continuum

257
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:27,879
well we're revving up the engines on the

258
00:11:32,850 --> 00:11:30,699
way back Wednesday machine its purring

259
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:32,860
and whirring over in the corner it's

260
00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:35,529
going to take us north to Manitoba

261
00:11:43,199 --> 00:11:40,060
Canada and back to 1967 May 20th to be

262
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:43,209
specific this gets a byline for Kevin

263
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:45,839
Raulerson from the Winnipeg Free Press

264
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:50,649
com white shell Provincial Park the

265
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:51,610
truth is out there

266
00:11:58,379 --> 00:11:56,110
but so still are the answers New Mexico

267
00:12:01,019 --> 00:11:58,389
may have it's Roswell Britain has its

268
00:12:04,379 --> 00:12:01,029
Rendlesham forest Nova Scotia has shag

269
00:12:06,329 --> 00:12:04,389
harbour but Manitoba also has a claim to

270
00:12:08,939 --> 00:12:06,339
stake when it comes to one of the most

271
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:08,949
notable unidentified flying objects

272
00:12:15,210 --> 00:12:12,370
sightings around the world 50 years ago

273
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:15,220
an amateur prospectors saw something

274
00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:17,410
that a remote spot in this provincial

275
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:19,480
park that changed his life and the lives

276
00:12:25,079 --> 00:12:22,089
of his family members and not always for

277
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:25,089
the better no one knows for sure what

278
00:12:29,579 --> 00:12:27,370
Stefan Michalak saw while he was looking

279
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:29,589
for signs of gold and silver in the

280
00:12:34,829 --> 00:12:32,170
rocks in pre-cambrian Shield but

281
00:12:37,139 --> 00:12:34,839
numerous military and scientific experts

282
00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:37,149
went to that site tested the area

283
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,180
repeatedly and interviewed him and in

284
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:42,160
the end the report of the United States

285
00:12:46,499 --> 00:12:44,350
government sponsored UFO project

286
00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:46,509
concluded that the incident was quote

287
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,800
unknown and quote surprisingly it was

288
00:12:55,530 --> 00:12:52,720
only a few days ago that for the first

289
00:12:57,929 --> 00:12:55,540
time Stefan Michalak see August son Stan

290
00:13:00,540 --> 00:12:57,939
who was 9 years old at the time

291
00:13:02,579 --> 00:13:00,550
has co-written a book it launched

292
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:02,589
recently it's about how his family

293
00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:04,660
experienced unwanted attention from

294
00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:07,180
authorities and the media and he visited

295
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:10,120
the site itself the big bang of the

296
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:12,430
incident and the elephant in his

297
00:13:19,049 --> 00:13:15,519
family's life quote I've always wanted

298
00:13:21,059 --> 00:13:19,059
to do it and then not in quotes Stan

299
00:13:21,570 --> 00:13:21,069
said earlier this month shortly before

300
00:13:23,370 --> 00:13:21,580
going to

301
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:23,380
these sights accompanied by the Free

302
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:26,890
Press quote I don't know why this is

303
00:13:31,650 --> 00:13:29,110
closure putting the book together as

304
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:31,660
kind of a farewell and then I'm done

305
00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:34,000
this will be the first and last time

306
00:13:38,340 --> 00:13:36,520
it's a chapter of our family life and

307
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:38,350
history that remained before us for a

308
00:13:45,270 --> 00:13:41,590
long time and quotes the what Stephan

309
00:13:50,070 --> 00:13:45,280
who also went by Steven and Steve saw on

310
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:50,080
May 20th 1967 at about 12:15 p.m. it's

311
00:13:53,970 --> 00:13:52,150
now known around the world by another

312
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:53,980
name it's called the Falcon Lake

313
00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:56,650
incident and it's considered one of the

314
00:14:03,090 --> 00:13:59,290
most documented UFO sightings of all

315
00:14:05,730 --> 00:14:03,100
time in a short 40-page booklet titled

316
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,740
my encounter with the UFO which

317
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:07,360
McCulloch wrote a few months after the

318
00:14:12,690 --> 00:14:09,760
sighting in his native polish he had it

319
00:14:16,170 --> 00:14:12,700
translated into English and in this book

320
00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:16,180
that he wrote in 1967 McCulloch said

321
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:19,420
quote up until the time and the events I

322
00:14:24,210 --> 00:14:22,030
am about to describe I had no special

323
00:14:26,580 --> 00:14:24,220
interest in flying saucers and other

324
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:26,590
strange phenomena one hears about time

325
00:14:31,980 --> 00:14:29,560
and again maybe they're real maybe not

326
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:31,990
but I had never been seriously concerned

327
00:14:38,970 --> 00:14:35,710
about them not until May 20th 1967 when

328
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:38,980
I perhaps as nobody else or at least a

329
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:41,920
very few came in such close contact with

330
00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:44,260
one of those strange objects commonly

331
00:14:49,020 --> 00:14:48,040
called UFOs and quotes it seemed to go

332
00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:49,030
something like this

333
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:52,480
it began when michalak 51 married with

334
00:14:57,210 --> 00:14:54,670
three children and a self-described

335
00:14:59,340 --> 00:14:57,220
amateur prospector went out to white

336
00:15:01,830 --> 00:14:59,350
shell on the Friday of the first long

337
00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:01,840
weekend of the summer he was looking for

338
00:15:06,930 --> 00:15:04,600
precious metals as he'd done before he

339
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:06,940
stayed at a motel that used to be on the

340
00:15:10,830 --> 00:15:08,500
south side of the trans-canada highway

341
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:10,840
at 5:30 a.m.

342
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:13,510
he got up crossed the road and began

343
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:15,550
finding his way north through the pine

344
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:18,370
trees and rock formations eventually

345
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:20,410
Stan McCulloch got to the peninsula on

346
00:15:26,130 --> 00:15:23,200
top there were exposed rocks trees and

347
00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:26,140
scrub a lake on one side a marsh on the

348
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:29,080
other two sides he was chipping away at

349
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:31,090
a quartz formation just after eating

350
00:15:35,260 --> 00:15:34,390
lunch when he was quote startled by the

351
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:35,270
most

352
00:15:38,890 --> 00:15:37,310
cannae cackle of the geese that we're

353
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:38,900
still in the area something had

354
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:42,440
obviously frightened them and then I saw

355
00:15:46,690 --> 00:15:44,000
them too

356
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:46,700
cigar shaped objects with humps on them

357
00:15:51,790 --> 00:15:49,850
about halfway down from the sky they

358
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:51,800
appeared to be descending and glowing

359
00:15:57,610 --> 00:15:55,250
with an intense scarlet glare as these

360
00:16:01,810 --> 00:15:57,620
objects came closer to the earth they

361
00:16:03,370 --> 00:16:01,820
became more oval in shape and quotes one

362
00:16:06,730 --> 00:16:03,380
of the objects took off a few minutes

363
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:06,740
later while the second one landed about

364
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:10,070
50 metres from where he was crouching he

365
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:11,510
said there was an opening near the top

366
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:13,730
of the craft with brilliant purple light

367
00:16:18,940 --> 00:16:16,550
coming out after waiting several minutes

368
00:16:23,410 --> 00:16:18,950
he went closer stopping when he heard

369
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:23,420
voices quote they sounded human although

370
00:16:27,790 --> 00:16:25,370
somewhat muffled by the sounds of the

371
00:16:30,130 --> 00:16:27,800
motor I was able to make out two

372
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:30,140
distinct voices one with a higher pitch

373
00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:33,290
than the other end quotes still thinking

374
00:16:37,210 --> 00:16:35,240
it was likely some type of new American

375
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:37,220
craft my colleague called through the

376
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:39,890
opening at first in English when he

377
00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:41,510
didn't receive any response he called

378
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:44,120
out in other languages he even stuck his

379
00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:46,640
head in the opening where he saw quote a

380
00:16:53,170 --> 00:16:50,480
maze of lights and quotes the opening

381
00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:53,180
suddenly closed but just before the

382
00:16:58,180 --> 00:16:56,240
craft took off he touched it it was so

383
00:17:01,330 --> 00:16:58,190
hot it burned the glove he was wearing

384
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:01,340
quote all of a sudden the craft tilted

385
00:17:05,170 --> 00:17:02,690
slightly leftward

386
00:17:07,570 --> 00:17:05,180
I turned and felt a scorching pain

387
00:17:10,449 --> 00:17:07,580
around my chest my shirt and my

388
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:10,459
undershirt were afire a sharp beam of

389
00:17:15,070 --> 00:17:13,610
heat had shot out from the craft I tore

390
00:17:15,820 --> 00:17:15,080
off my shirt and undershirt and threw

391
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:15,830
them on the ground

392
00:17:21,430 --> 00:17:19,610
my chest was severely burned gentle

393
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:21,440
listeners you can see photographic

394
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:24,290
evidence of those severe burns there's a

395
00:17:31,030 --> 00:17:27,230
photo that shows curious dime-sized

396
00:17:34,060 --> 00:17:31,040
spots in a grid pattern on his chest and

397
00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:34,070
indeed newspaper photos of the time says

398
00:17:38,790 --> 00:17:36,440
the story show Michalak his pajama top

399
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:38,800
open you can see a series of circular

400
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:41,690
third-degree burn marks they make a

401
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:44,170
square pattern on his chest

402
00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:47,480
then Michalik began to get a headache he

403
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:48,800
started to vomit he

404
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:51,380
felt weak he was able to stumble out of

405
00:17:56,110 --> 00:17:53,510
the bush and later that evening he

406
00:17:57,690 --> 00:17:56,120
boarded a bus back to Winnipeg his

407
00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:57,700
eldest son Mark drove him to

408
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:00,400
Misericordia Hospital to treat his burns

409
00:18:06,190 --> 00:18:03,410
doctors there and doctors in the United

410
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:06,200
States never could say how he got the

411
00:18:10,810 --> 00:18:08,540
burns the next day he gave his first

412
00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:10,820
press interview the first of many in the

413
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:13,580
coming days months and years ahead with

414
00:18:19,060 --> 00:18:15,950
media law enforcement government and

415
00:18:21,310 --> 00:18:19,070
military authorities a box of the

416
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:21,320
booklets written when McCulloch and the

417
00:18:25,660 --> 00:18:23,150
family grew tired of answering the same

418
00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:25,670
questions from strangers was stationed

419
00:18:30,580 --> 00:18:27,440
by the front door so mark could just

420
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:30,590
hand them to the curious Michalek

421
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:32,510
concluded the booklet by not blaming

422
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:35,810
whatever or whoever was on the craft for

423
00:18:40,090 --> 00:18:38,570
his injuries but the burns and suffering

424
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:40,100
I'd endured were not caused by any

425
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:42,710
aggressive moves of the craft or its

426
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:45,200
occupants if I'd stayed farther away

427
00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:46,970
from the craft I wouldn't have been

428
00:18:51,910 --> 00:18:49,190
burned or suffered in any other way I

429
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:51,920
offer this warning to all who may

430
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:54,530
encounter such a craft keep far away

431
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:56,930
from it far enough to protect yourself

432
00:19:01,570 --> 00:18:57,850
end quotes

433
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:01,580
now who was Stefan Michalak at the

434
00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:03,470
beginning of his booklet he introduces

435
00:19:08,260 --> 00:19:05,750
himself as having been born 51 years

436
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:08,270
earlier in Poland then emigrating to

437
00:19:13,150 --> 00:19:11,750
Canada in 1949 after the quote turbulent

438
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:13,160
years of the Second World War that

439
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:16,880
started in my homeland and quotes those

440
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:19,370
turbulent years included becoming a

441
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:21,770
junior officer in the Polish army just

442
00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:24,170
before the Nazi blitzkrieg stormed in

443
00:19:27,910 --> 00:19:26,270
and took over that country and then

444
00:19:29,470 --> 00:19:27,920
joining the Polish Home Army in

445
00:19:31,930 --> 00:19:29,480
resistance operations against the

446
00:19:34,450 --> 00:19:31,940
Germans because they were associated

447
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:34,460
with him his future wife Maria and her

448
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:37,010
two sisters were arrested and sent to a

449
00:19:42,490 --> 00:19:40,490
concentration camp in 1943 all three

450
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:42,500
survived they were liberated two years

451
00:19:48,850 --> 00:19:46,760
later so Stephan Steven Steve Michalek

452
00:19:51,370 --> 00:19:48,860
he was now serving with the resistance

453
00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:51,380
against the communist regime he was

454
00:19:56,050 --> 00:19:53,390
forced to escape the country even though

455
00:19:58,810 --> 00:19:56,060
Maria now his wife had one child and was

456
00:20:01,960 --> 00:19:58,820
pregnant with another they didn't see

457
00:20:02,649 --> 00:20:01,970
each other for almost a decade they

458
00:20:04,389 --> 00:20:02,659
first lived

459
00:20:06,430 --> 00:20:04,399
in regina where their third child was

460
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:06,440
born and then eventually moved to

461
00:20:13,479 --> 00:20:10,369
Winnipeg in May of 1967 he was working

462
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:13,489
at inland cement located on Kenaston

463
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:16,099
Boulevard behind the IKEA when he went

464
00:20:20,769 --> 00:20:18,710
off to the white shell park for what he

465
00:20:23,349 --> 00:20:20,779
figured would be one more weekend of

466
00:20:25,479 --> 00:20:23,359
looking for precious metals by all

467
00:20:28,149 --> 00:20:25,489
accounts McCulloch was not somebody who

468
00:20:31,089 --> 00:20:28,159
lied and certainly was not somebody who

469
00:20:33,070 --> 00:20:31,099
was seeking publicity he wanted someone

470
00:20:34,749 --> 00:20:33,080
to tell him what he saw he felt it was

471
00:20:38,109 --> 00:20:34,759
his duty to report this to the

472
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:38,119
authorities if you go by horse it takes

473
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:39,950
about 45 minutes to get to the site

474
00:20:44,739 --> 00:20:42,049
located a few kilometers north of the

475
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:44,749
town site of Falcon Lake the trails

476
00:20:49,450 --> 00:20:47,090
narrow marked with a few elevation

477
00:20:52,330 --> 00:20:49,460
changes there are boulders and small

478
00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:52,340
rocks that horses try to avoid there are

479
00:20:56,979 --> 00:20:54,169
plenty of tree branches and trunks that

480
00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:56,989
force detours there are streams and

481
00:21:02,469 --> 00:21:00,080
boggy areas you have got across but at

482
00:21:04,210 --> 00:21:02,479
least there is a trail when the

483
00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:04,220
colleague first went to the site he was

484
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:06,080
simply walking through the bush looking

485
00:21:08,859 --> 00:21:06,769
for minerals

486
00:21:10,749 --> 00:21:08,869
he couldn't even find the site the first

487
00:21:13,899 --> 00:21:10,759
time that he tried to locate it for

488
00:21:16,389 --> 00:21:13,909
police and then for Life magazine it

489
00:21:19,330 --> 00:21:16,399
took a month before he managed to find

490
00:21:20,889 --> 00:21:19,340
the site itself a half century later

491
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:20,899
everything has changed

492
00:21:26,379 --> 00:21:23,450
then immature trees are now mature

493
00:21:27,729 --> 00:21:26,389
towering over the site young trees have

494
00:21:29,769 --> 00:21:27,739
filled in some of the sightlines

495
00:21:32,469 --> 00:21:29,779
michalak would have had much of that

496
00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:32,479
Flat Rock area is now covered by lichen

497
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:35,840
and short plants but the outlines of the

498
00:21:40,389 --> 00:21:38,090
site and there's a drawing you can find

499
00:21:42,629 --> 00:21:40,399
later at UFO headline news these

500
00:21:46,089 --> 00:21:42,639
sketches were made by memory for the

501
00:21:48,669 --> 00:21:46,099
RCMP and Royal Canadian Air Force it

502
00:21:50,889 --> 00:21:48,679
took most of Stan's lifetime to get to

503
00:21:53,619 --> 00:21:50,899
his father's site maybe it was part of

504
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:53,629
his personal catharsis of finally seeing

505
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:56,450
that spot seeing it through his dad's

506
00:22:01,389 --> 00:21:59,090
eyes but the overriding thought he

507
00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:01,399
expressed aloud was simply quote what

508
00:22:07,570 --> 00:22:04,840
the hell was he doing here end quotes

509
00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,580
holding a copy of the hand-drawn map his

510
00:22:11,919 --> 00:22:09,679
father had made of the site Stan

511
00:22:14,829 --> 00:22:11,929
continued to stand in place while

512
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:14,839
looking around then he walked around

513
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:16,550
examining for a few seconds

514
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:18,260
the line of Courts running through the

515
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,290
rock he peppered UFO expert Chris

516
00:22:25,780 --> 00:22:23,600
Rutkowski who had traveled with him to

517
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:25,790
the site with questions to get a better

518
00:22:30,970 --> 00:22:28,610
sense of where everything was and then

519
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:30,980
he walked some more shaking his head

520
00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:34,010
back and forth and then he looked off

521
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:35,870
into the distance seeing only reeds

522
00:22:41,530 --> 00:22:38,810
water and mud where he was and the lines

523
00:22:44,170 --> 00:22:41,540
of the trees in the distance it might

524
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:44,180
not have been what Stan expected quote

525
00:22:50,590 --> 00:22:47,210
there's nothing here to attract there's

526
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:50,600
no entrance and quotes he said but I

527
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:53,750
guess this was justice stop my dad

528
00:22:58,420 --> 00:22:55,550
chipped it some rocks he took a break

529
00:23:00,130 --> 00:22:58,430
and if this thing hadn't happened he

530
00:23:02,830 --> 00:23:00,140
would have moved on until he was tired

531
00:23:05,460 --> 00:23:02,840
and then gone back to the hotel but

532
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:05,470
that's not what happened and quotes

533
00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:07,790
seeing the site didn't shake his

534
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:09,950
continued belief of what his father had

535
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:12,770
seen quote I always believed that what

536
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:14,810
he said was the truth I think what

537
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,570
happened is exactly as he described it

538
00:23:23,650 --> 00:23:19,760
pisses me off that people didn't believe

539
00:23:26,380 --> 00:23:23,660
him I still get angry and quotes here's

540
00:23:28,540 --> 00:23:26,390
where Chris root Kowski comes in perhaps

541
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:28,550
a familiar name to you gentle listeners

542
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:31,130
he's a research coordinator of winnipeg

543
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:33,110
based ufology research

544
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:36,170
he's Canada's foremost UFO expert he

545
00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:38,510
said the Falcon Lake incident is one of

546
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:41,270
almost 2,000 sightings from Manitoba's

547
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:45,050
historical records quote if it's a hoax

548
00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:47,450
it has enough complications to make it

549
00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:49,640
one of the best on record and quotes

550
00:23:54,970 --> 00:23:52,880
root Kowski said he continued quote it's

551
00:23:56,860 --> 00:23:54,980
even better than Roswell because with

552
00:23:59,140 --> 00:23:56,870
that when the government denies anything

553
00:24:01,600 --> 00:23:59,150
happened and it takes effort to get to

554
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:01,610
the place but Falcon Lake is part of

555
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:05,270
Manitoba's history quote there were UFOs

556
00:24:10,060 --> 00:24:07,670
in shag harbour that thing crashed into

557
00:24:13,090 --> 00:24:10,070
the ocean there was another in rivers

558
00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:13,100
Manitoba and a case in calgary where a

559
00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:15,440
photograph was taken of a silver object

560
00:24:20,170 --> 00:24:17,750
right across canada there were an

561
00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:20,180
amazing number of sightings for some

562
00:24:26,830 --> 00:24:23,750
reason and quotes in the almost 1,200

563
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:26,840
annual reported UFO sightings every year

564
00:24:30,380 --> 00:24:28,410
across Canada

565
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:30,390
apparently three to five percent can't

566
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:33,330
be explained away quote none say they've

567
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:35,490
been visited by aliens but these are

568
00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:37,920
very curious cases and quotes said

569
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:40,830
rutkowski he said he not only has copies

570
00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:42,930
of the hundreds of documents produced by

571
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:45,840
the authorities chrisrip Kowski says he

572
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:48,510
also has in his possession a piece of

573
00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:51,690
the melted radioactive metal that was

574
00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:54,390
found at the site he says that from his

575
00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:56,280
knowledge of all the other cases the

576
00:25:01,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Falcon Lake incident is notable because

577
00:25:04,490 --> 00:25:01,490
McCulloch reported just the facts no

578
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:04,500
embellishment in quotes with or without

579
00:25:10,070 --> 00:25:07,290
embellishment there's more information

580
00:25:13,130 --> 00:25:10,080
