celebrations and spots throughout the

00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:06,159

the report of a local farmer there 42

20
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:15,119
years ago captured the imaginations of

21
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:16,560
generations of poles

22
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:17,920
and stirred up a fair amount of

23
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:20,479
speculation and conspiracy theories

24
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:23,520
in the early morning on may 10 1978

25
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:26,320
jan walski a 71 year old farmer was

26
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,759
heading home through the woods in a

27
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,040
horse-drawn cart

28
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:31,280
in a documentary film made that same

29
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:33,600
year a visit or on the threshold of

30
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,320
mystery

31
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,960
wolsky describes what happened next he

32
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,119
saw two creatures about five feet tall

33
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,360
ahead of him as he got close they split

34
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:43,119
up so he could pass between them

35
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:45,280
they then jumped up into his cart and

36
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:47,600
started babbling in a strange language

37
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:49,840
they had slanted eyes green skin and

38
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,799
webbed hands

39
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,399
they were wearing black one-piece

40
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,640
outfits with hoods and had a hump just

41
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,920
above their shoulders

42
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:57,920
according to walsky they were polite

43
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,040
when they jumped on

44
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:01,200
so why not let them sit down two

45
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,119
journalists christina adamska and

46
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:05,600
enrique pomorski interviewed wolski on

47
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,640
tape in july

48
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,640
and he gave them a detailed account of

49
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,000
the events that followed

50
00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:12,080
wolsky came to a clearing and he saw a

51
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:14,239
white rectangular craft with what looked

52
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:14,560
like

53
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:17,120
rotating drills and tubes on each corner

54
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:19,040
it was hovering about five meters above

55
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:20,800
the ground and close to the size of a

56
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:21,520
bus

57
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:23,920
using gestures the creatures told him to

58
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,560
stop

59
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,400
the horse was scared by the craft and

60
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:28,239
one of them grabbed the reins

61
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,680
once the carriage was stopped the

62
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:31,599
creatures jumped down and gestured for

63
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,720
walskie to follow

64
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,480
when they got to the craft there was a

65
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:36,560
small elevator that went up to a door on

66
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:37,840
the side facing them

67
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,239
one creature got on the elevator wallski

68
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:42,560
got on with it and they rode up together

69
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:44,879
inside the craft he saw several black

70
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,879
birds lying on the floor at the base of

71
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:48,080
the opposite wall

72
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:50,000
they seemed to be paralyzed there were

73
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:52,000
also two creatures like the ones who had

74
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,879
brought him there

75
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,959
he saw eight to ten benches big enough

76
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:56,720
for a single person to sit

77
00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,800
the creatures still using gestures to

78
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,120
communicate told him to get undressed

79
00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:03,040
he took off his jacket and started

80
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,159
unbutton his shirt

81
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,319
as he undid the top two buttons the

82
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:08,159
creature that rode up with him undid the

83
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:09,120
bottom two

84
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,800
when his shirt was off he was made to

85
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:12,319
understand that they wanted him to

86
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,599
undress completely

87
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:15,680
once he was undressed a creature came up

88
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,800
to him it had an

89
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,319
object in its hand that wallski

90
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,800
described as an appliance in the form of

91
00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:22,400
two dishes combined

92
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,159
it held the device up in front of him

93
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,400
and then rotated him holding his arm

94
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:28,480
it then lifted his arm up did something

95
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,080
with the device on his side

96
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:31,920
and then moved on to his back and his

97
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:34,239
other side he was then given a signal to

98
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:35,280
get dressed

99
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,959
as he did so he looked around and

100
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,040
noticed there were no windows or lights

101
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:41,280
the entire inside was black with a gray

102
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,440
tint the creatures began eating some

103
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:45,040
sort of food that was shaped like

104
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:47,280
icicles they were breaking off pieces

105
00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,879
and putting them into their mouths

106
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:50,799
he was offered some and he declined by

107
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:51,920
shaking his head

108
00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:53,840
as he went to leave he took off his cap

109
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,560
to say goodbye and the creatures bowed

110
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:58,480
wolsky drove to his house and arrived

111
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,319
there just before 8 am

112
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,159
he told his three sons that there was a

113
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:04,000
craft floating in the air and that they

114
00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:05,120
should go see it

115
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:06,799
they alerted some neighbors and a group

116
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,200
went out to the field followed by walsky

117
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,200
when they got there the craft was gone

118
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,280
but they saw lots of small rectangular

119
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:15,439
footprints all over the area

120
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,320
polish ufologist sebignublania heard

121
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,560
about the case shortly after it happened

122
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,560
he arranged for walsky to be examined by

123
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:24,960
a psychiatrist and wolsky was reported

124
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,000
to be sane

125
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:28,320
blania found a six-year-old boy adam

126
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:30,960
popiowek who had also seen the craft

127
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:32,639
worried it was going to crash into their

128
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,080
house he alerted his mother

129
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:36,400
but when she came out the craft was gone

130
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:38,320
blania became the person to talk to

131
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:39,280
about the incident

132
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,120
and he gave numerous interviews to the

133
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:43,600
press he published a book titled the

134
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:44,800
emelson incident

135
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,720
in 1996. in the fall of 1978

136
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:50,960
a visit or on the threshold of mystery

137
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,960
was aired on polish television

138
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,880
the case became widely known and

139
00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:57,120
tourists soon flocked to the site

140
00:05:01,469 --> 00:04:59,040
holskey recalled there being as many as

141
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,479
fourteen buses at a time

142
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,919
gigoschwazinski artist of the popular

143
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:05,360
thorgal comic books

144
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:07,199
created a comic strip depicting the

145
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,400
encounter titled

146
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,400
incomers which was first published in

147
00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:12,320
1980 in the magazine

148
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:15,120
relax many polls took pride in having

149
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:16,240
their own aliens

150
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,840
but others determined to find a more

151
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:19,680
prosaic explanation

152
00:05:23,469 --> 00:05:22,479
an article by marek kippa published july

153
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:23,479
17

154
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,800
looks into some attempts to solve the

155
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:30,960
mystery according to the article

156
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,120
police investigated and concluded that

157
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,280
walsky had dreamed the whole event

158
00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:37,520
another explanation was that the story

159
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:39,759
was cooked up by the communist regime

160
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:42,000
to direct public attention away from the

161
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,720
badly slumping economy at that time

162
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:46,400
while these conclusions didn't have much

163
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,720
to back them up a thorough analysis was

164
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:50,160
undertaken by author

165
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,080
bartosz artetowski blania died in 2003

166
00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:56,240
and ortotowski bought his archives from

167
00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:57,199
his sister

168
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:00,319
in his 2013 book the polish people's

169
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,120
republic's

170
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:03,759
secret ops and ufos herdatowski

171
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,800
presented evidence

172
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,800
that adam poppiwak's statement was

173
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,960
influenced by blania but he was unable

174
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:11,039
to make a conclusion as to the source of

175
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,240
walsky's story

176
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,919
he did however come up with an

177
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,680
interesting hypothesis

178
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,919
according to artatowsky blania and

179
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,280
another ufologist

180
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:21,919
whittolt warzonic made a bet around a

181
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,360
month before the incident

182
00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:25,199
blania claimed he could get someone to

183
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,639
hypnotize rajanic

184
00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:29,120
and implant false memories warzonic

185
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:30,720
didn't think this was possible and

186
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:31,840
accepted the bet

187
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:33,520
the hypnotist was successful and

188
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:34,960
warzonic lost

189
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:37,440
warzonic a hypnotist himself wanted to

190
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,639
get back at blania

191
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,240
and planted the emelson story in

192
00:06:44,550 --> 00:06:42,560
wolsky's brain he knew blania would

193
00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,560
investigate the story and publicize it

194
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,560
and warzonic intended to reveal the

195
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,240
truth and make a fool out of him

196
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,560
his plan failed because blania worked so

197
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:52,319
quickly to bring credibility to the

198
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,960
story

199
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,800
that no one would have believed rorjonic

200
00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,400
had he tried to debunk it

201
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,319
despite the attempts to explain the case

202
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:00,560
away it still has its proponents

203
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,560
one group went so far as to raise money

204
00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:04,479
for a monument to mark the event and

205
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:06,720
preserve it as a part of polish history

206
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:08,800
the nautilus foundation was formed in

207
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:09,919
2001

208
00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:12,000
the group is dedicated to studying and

209
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:13,840
investigating the paranormal

210
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:16,560
and in 2005 due to their efforts a

211
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:18,400
memorial was raised consisting of a

212
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:20,400
piece of granite with a steel cube on

213
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:21,039
top

214
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:23,120
a polished section of the granite has

215
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:24,840
the text on 10 may

216
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:28,800
1978 in emelson a ufo object landed

217
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:31,520
the truth will astonish us in the future

218
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:33,360
there is also a sculpture depicting one

219
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:35,520
of the creatures described by walsky

220
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,400
a time capsule was buried there in 2011

221
00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:40,639
to be opened in 3011.
