Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty seven, a man was digging for gold
0:03
Speaker 1: in a forest in Canada when behind him he heard
0:06
Speaker 1: this sudden commotion. It sounded like geese getting really startled
0:09
Speaker 1: and flying off in different directions, and so he put
0:12
Speaker 1: down his pickaxe, he stood up, he turned around, and
0:15
Speaker 1: what he claimed happened next is referred to as the
0:19
Speaker 1: Falcon Lake Incident, and it's considered to be one of
0:22
Speaker 1: the most credible paranormal stories of all time. But before
0:25
Speaker 1: we get into that story, if you're a fan of

0:52
Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. Just before eleven pm at
1:08
Speaker 1: night on May twentieth, nineteen sixty seven, a fifty year
1:11
Speaker 1: old man named Stephan McCulloch staggered into the Massara Cordia
1:16
Speaker 1: Hospital in Winnipeg, Canada. Stephan was so physically weak that
1:20
Speaker 1: his oldest son Mark was there with him physically holding
1:23
Speaker 1: him up, carrying him into the hospital. When the nurses
1:27
Speaker 1: at the front desk saw the pair walk in, they
1:29
Speaker 1: immediately got up and walked around their desk over to
1:32
Speaker 1: these two guys and said, hey, what's going on? What's
1:34
Speaker 1: wrong with him? And so Stephan at this point is
1:37
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable he can barely talk, but he takes a
1:40
Speaker 1: deep breath and then he tells the nurses that earlier
1:42
Speaker 1: that day he had been burned on his chest and stomach,
1:46
Speaker 1: and now he had this blinding headache and he was
1:48
Speaker 1: so nauseous and he could barely walk. The nurses knew
1:51
Speaker 1: clearly this is an emergency, and so they quickly ushered
1:54
Speaker 1: the pair down the hall to an exam room. And
1:57
Speaker 1: then a couple of minutes later, doctors came into the
1:59
Speaker 1: room and they asked Stephan to show them his burns. Stepan,
2:03
Speaker 1: who was already lying on his back on the exam table,
2:06
Speaker 1: slowly reaches down and grabs the bottom of his shirt
2:09
Speaker 1: and he lifts it up, and the doctors are stunned
2:12
Speaker 1: at what they see on his stomach there was a
2:15
Speaker 1: very strange burn pattern that none of them had seen before,
2:18
Speaker 1: and so the doctors they move in to get a
2:20
Speaker 1: better look at his injury, and as they're staring at it,
2:23
Speaker 1: they ask Stepan to explain how he got this burn. Now,
2:27
Speaker 1: what the doctors didn't realize is that Stefan was very conflicted.
2:31
Speaker 1: He knew if he told the truth about how he
2:34
Speaker 1: got this burn, then he would open himself and his
2:37
Speaker 1: family up to ridicule and skepticism. But as he's laying
2:41
Speaker 1: there and the doctors are waiting for his answer, he
2:44
Speaker 1: finally decides that the right thing to do here is
2:46
Speaker 1: just tell the truth, and so he takes a deep
2:48
Speaker 1: breath and then tells the doctors what happened to him.
2:52
Speaker 1: And by the time he was finished telling this story
2:54
Speaker 1: of what happened to his stomach, the doctors had stopped
2:58
Speaker 1: looking at his injury and instead were just standing in
3:01
Speaker 1: the middle of the room staring at Stefan with eyes
3:04
Speaker 1: wide and their mouths open. They were all literally speechless.
3:08
Speaker 1: Within twenty four hours, Stephan's story had made news all
3:12
Speaker 1: over the world, and his story had attracted the attention
3:16
Speaker 1: of numerous US and Canadian secretive government agencies who were
3:21
Speaker 1: keen to interview Stepan one on one to really find
3:24
Speaker 1: out what he knew. In short, what Stephan claimed happened
3:28
Speaker 1: to him, dubbed the Falcon Lake Incident, was a very
3:33
Speaker 1: big deal. However, the farther this story went and the
3:36
Speaker 1: more people that heard it, the more people started to
3:39
Speaker 1: question the validity of this story. It just seemed too
3:43
Speaker 1: unbelievable that maybe Stephan is just lying, or this is
3:47
Speaker 1: a hoax. And so before I tell you Stephan's actual
3:50
Speaker 1: account of what happened at Falcon Lake, I'm going to
3:54
Speaker 1: give you a little context about who Stephan was prior
3:58
Speaker 1: to the incident, because ultimately the Stephen's credibility in your
4:02
Speaker 1: eyes will determine if you really believe what happened to him.
4:06
Speaker 1: Stephan was born in the early twentieth century in Poland,
4:09
Speaker 1: and when World War II broke out, he was captured
4:12
Speaker 1: by the Nazis and put into one of their concentration camps.
4:16
Speaker 1: It was called the gross Rosen Camp and it was
4:18
Speaker 1: located in Poland. During his time at that camp, Stephen
4:22
Speaker 1: would bear witness to the Nazis perpetrating some of the
4:25
Speaker 1: worst atrocities ever committed against humanity. In total, approximately one
4:31
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand people were held prisoner at
4:34
Speaker 1: the gross Rosen Camp, including Stephen, and of those one
4:38
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand, forty thousand of them would
4:41
Speaker 1: be killed, primarily on site at the camp or on
4:45
Speaker 1: a Nazi led death march. After the camp was finally
4:48
Speaker 1: liberated in early nineteen forty five, Stephen worked as a
4:51
Speaker 1: translator for the US Army, helping them continue to liberate
4:55
Speaker 1: other concentration camps across Europe. But by nineteen forty six,
5:00
Speaker 1: Stephan was ready to leave Europe and start a new
5:03
Speaker 1: life somewhere else and put World War Two behind him,
5:06
Speaker 1: and so he and his wife, who also was held
5:09
Speaker 1: in a concentration camp during World War II, fled Poland
5:13
Speaker 1: with their three young kids and resettled in Winnipeg, Canada,
5:17
Speaker 1: and for the next twenty years, the mccallis lived a
5:20
Speaker 1: very peaceful life. Stephan would find work as a mechanic
5:23
Speaker 1: at a cement factory, and his wife and his kids
5:26
Speaker 1: would make many friends and fall in love with the
5:29
Speaker 1: Winnipeg community. However, the McCulloch's life would take a sudden
5:33
Speaker 1: turn for the worst on May twentieth, nineteen sixty seven,
5:36
Speaker 1: that was the day of the Falcon Lake incident. Stephan
5:40
Speaker 1: was a very passionate amateur prospector. A prospector is someone
5:44
Speaker 1: who searches the earth for mineral deposits, usually gold or silver.
5:49
Speaker 1: Stephan would spend much of his off time traveling all
5:52
Speaker 1: over Canada to different wilderness areas to basically hike around
5:56
Speaker 1: the forest and up over the mountains, stopping to hack
5:58
Speaker 1: into the earth with his pick ax in hope of
6:01
Speaker 1: discovering treasures underneath the surface. Now, Stephan almost never found
6:06
Speaker 1: any treasures on any of his prospecting journeys, but he
6:09
Speaker 1: wasn't really in prospecting for the riches. Stephan just loved
6:13
Speaker 1: being outdoors and being in nature. It was very calming
6:16
Speaker 1: and peaceful for him, and considering how traumatic his earlier
6:20
Speaker 1: life had been being in the concentration camp during World
6:23
Speaker 1: War Two, finding moments of peace in his life was
6:27
Speaker 1: very important to him, and so in May of nineteen
6:29
Speaker 1: sixty seven, Stephan decided to go out on another one
6:33
Speaker 1: of his prospecting trips, this time to an area called
6:36
Speaker 1: Falcon Lake. Falcon Lake is a fairly large Lake located
6:40
Speaker 1: about one hundred miles to the east of Winnipeg, and
6:42
Speaker 1: surrounding this lake was a big forest that Stephan had
6:46
Speaker 1: heard contained silver deposits tucked away in the hillsides. And
6:50
Speaker 1: so on Friday, May nineteenth, Stephan was ready to go
6:54
Speaker 1: on this trip, and so he packed up all this
6:56
Speaker 1: prospecting equipment. He said goodbye to his wife and his kids,
6:59
Speaker 1: and then he left the house and made his way
7:01
Speaker 1: to the bus stop where he hopped on a Greyhound bus.
7:04
Speaker 1: Two hours later, he got off the bus at the
7:07
Speaker 1: stop closest to Falcon Lake, and from there he made
7:10
Speaker 1: his way to this cheap motel that was right on
7:12
Speaker 1: the side of the highway. He got a room, he
7:14
Speaker 1: got a quick bite to eat in their cafe, and
7:16
Speaker 1: then returned to his room and went to bed. The
7:18
Speaker 1: next morning, May twentieth, nineteen sixty seven, so the day
7:22
Speaker 1: of the Falcon Lake incident, Stephan woke up early, right
7:25
Speaker 1: around five am, and by five thirty am he had
7:28
Speaker 1: all of his equipment either in his backpack or on
7:31
Speaker 1: his belt, and he was making his way out of
7:33
Speaker 1: the motel's front doors. Right outside of this motel was
7:36
Speaker 1: the highway that ran left to right, and on the
7:39
Speaker 1: other side of that highway was this huge forest that
7:42
Speaker 1: Falcon Lake was deep inside of. And so after Stephan
7:46
Speaker 1: left the motel, he crossed over that highway and began
7:49
Speaker 1: walking into the woods. And for the next several hours
7:52
Speaker 1: Stephan just kind of meandered his way through the woods.
7:55
Speaker 1: He wasn't on a trail, he was just using his
7:57
Speaker 1: compass to make sure he was generally walking in the
8:00
Speaker 1: direction of Falcon Lake. At around nine am, so he's
8:03
Speaker 1: been hiking now for several hours, he looked up ahead
8:06
Speaker 1: and he saw there was a clearing on the side
8:08
Speaker 1: of this hill, and so Stefan walked into this clearing
8:11
Speaker 1: and two things became immediately apparent. One, he was right
8:15
Speaker 1: near Falcon Lake. From his perspective on this clearing, he
8:18
Speaker 1: could look down just a couple of hundred feet and
8:21
Speaker 1: there was the lake. And two, the reason this clearing
8:24
Speaker 1: existed and why no trees were growing on it at all,
8:27
Speaker 1: is because under his feet was just a huge rock face,
8:31
Speaker 1: like a quartz vein that was running across this hillside.
8:34
Speaker 1: And so this was like the perfect place for Stephan
8:38
Speaker 1: to begin prospecting, and so he set his things down.
8:40
Speaker 1: He got out his pickaxe, he got his welding gloves on.
8:43
Speaker 1: He put on his welding goggles as well. They protected
8:47
Speaker 1: his eyes from any rocks that were flying as he
8:49
Speaker 1: was hacking into the ground, and then he got to work.
8:52
Speaker 1: For the next couple of hours, Stephan very diligently hacked
8:55
Speaker 1: away at this big rock, but he didn't find any
8:58
Speaker 1: silver or anything else note. And so around eleven am
9:02
Speaker 1: Stephan was hungry and tired, and so he put his
9:05
Speaker 1: pickaxe down, he took his goggles off, he took his
9:07
Speaker 1: gloves off, and he sat down on this rock facing
9:10
Speaker 1: the lake to have some lunch. And as he sat
9:12
Speaker 1: there enjoying his food, all he could hear in the
9:15
Speaker 1: distance was the sound of a few geese down on
9:17
Speaker 1: the lake making some noise, but other than that, it
9:20
Speaker 1: was totally quiet. After he was done eating, he put
9:22
Speaker 1: his gear back on and got back to work. About
9:26
Speaker 1: an hour later, at around twelve to fifteen pm, Stephan
9:29
Speaker 1: was still hacking away at the rock, when despite all
9:32
Speaker 1: the noise he was making as he smashed the ground
9:35
Speaker 1: with his pickaxe, he could hear a really loud commotion
9:39
Speaker 1: coming from behind him. And it turned out when he
9:41
Speaker 1: stopped the pickaxe. The commotion sounded like geese honking and
9:45
Speaker 1: going wild, and so he dropped his pick axe. He
9:47
Speaker 1: took his goggles, put them up on his forehead, and
9:50
Speaker 1: then he stood up, and he turned around and he
9:53
Speaker 1: looked down towards the lake where he heard all these
9:55
Speaker 1: geese going crazy. And the first thing he noticed was
9:58
Speaker 1: there were some geese on lake that appeared to be
10:01
Speaker 1: flying off in different directions like they had been startled.
10:04
Speaker 1: But what really immediately caught his attention was not the geese,
10:09
Speaker 1: but what had very likely startled the geese, and that
10:12
Speaker 1: was two bright, glowing red objects that were flying slowly
10:17
Speaker 1: across the lake towards him, kind of roughly over where
10:20
Speaker 1: the geese were. Yesterday, my pet frog, seagull Lung, and
10:29
Speaker 1: I went to the frog park, and as I watched
10:31
Speaker 1: Old Lungey gallop over to his other frog friends to
10:34
Speaker 1: join their game of high Alai, I noticed something very
10:37
Speaker 1: distressing poor old See, poor old seagull Lung was the
10:41
Speaker 1: only frog not in a Halloween costume, and so immediately
10:45
Speaker 1: my parental instincts ticked in and I sprinted over and
10:49
Speaker 1: ripped Old Lungey off the high Alie field and then.
10:51
Speaker 2: Before long we were speeding home at over one hundred
10:54
Speaker 2: miles per hour, where we crashed into the front of
10:56
Speaker 2: the house. And then after climbing out on a twisted
10:58
Speaker 2: steel and wreckage me an old lungy hob me and
11:01
Speaker 2: old Lungy hobbled over to our steam powered laptop, and
11:05
Speaker 2: after getting that bad boy fired up, I was on
11:07
Speaker 2: the internet looking for the best loouiverine costume for frogs
11:11
Speaker 2: money could buy. But as I was browsing, I got
11:17
Speaker 2: luckily Old Bney slap me right in the cocksacks and said,
11:21
Speaker 2: Papa too.

Speaker 1: or click the link in the description below. Okay, back
12:28
Speaker 1: to the story. And now these objects, they were cylindrical,
12:37
Speaker 1: They appeared to be about maybe thirty or forty feet wide.
12:40
Speaker 1: They didn't have any sort of emission coming off of them,
12:42
Speaker 1: They weren't making any noise. They were just kind of
12:45
Speaker 1: slowly making their way over towards where Stephan was. Now,
12:48
Speaker 1: as Stephan is watching this happen, he wasn't fearful. He
12:52
Speaker 1: assumed those have to be military aircraft. As it was
12:56
Speaker 1: this part of Canada, Falcon Lake is very remote. There's
13:00
Speaker 1: not many people around, and so logically it made sense
13:03
Speaker 1: that perhaps there's a military that's doing training exercises in
13:07
Speaker 1: this area. And so feeling much more intrigued than fearful,
13:11
Speaker 1: Stepan just continued to watch as these red aircraft got
13:15
Speaker 1: closer and closer to his side of the lake. And
13:18
Speaker 1: then when these two craft were about two hundred feet
13:21
Speaker 1: away from where Stephan was standing, they came to a
13:24
Speaker 1: stop and they were just hovering in the air, and
13:26
Speaker 1: then one of the craft suddenly turned orange and began
13:29
Speaker 1: going up into the clouds, and then at some point
13:32
Speaker 1: just vanished. And then the other craft, instead of going up,
13:35
Speaker 1: just continued descending very slowly, now very clearly towards this
13:40
Speaker 1: open rock face that Stefan was standing on. Now again,
13:44
Speaker 1: Stepan was totally convinced that these were military aircraft, you know,
13:48
Speaker 1: conducting some sort of exercise, and so he's not fearful.
13:52
Speaker 1: He is just intrigued by what he's seeing. And in fact,
13:56
Speaker 1: by this point he had convinced himself that this second
13:59
Speaker 1: aircraft that was now coming down to land on these
14:02
Speaker 1: rocks must have experienced some sort of issue and they
14:05
Speaker 1: were landing in order to fix it. And Stephan even
14:08
Speaker 1: thought to himself, well, hey, I'm a mechanic, maybe I
14:11
Speaker 1: can help the pilot or pilots with whatever's going on
14:14
Speaker 1: with their craft. Once the craft finally did touch down
14:17
Speaker 1: on the rocks about one hundred and fifty feet away
14:20
Speaker 1: from Stephan. It changed colors from red to stainless steel
14:24
Speaker 1: with an orange glow around the outside of the aircraft,
14:28
Speaker 1: and inside of this craft a really bright purple light
14:32
Speaker 1: came on that Stefan was only aware of because there
14:35
Speaker 1: was a couple of small holes on the outside of
14:38
Speaker 1: this craft where this purple light was coming through. But
14:41
Speaker 1: these little rays of purple light coming out of this
14:44
Speaker 1: craft were so bright that it actually was hard for
14:47
Speaker 1: Stephan to look directly at the craft, and so his
14:50
Speaker 1: welding goggles were still in his forehead, so he pulled
14:53
Speaker 1: them down, put them over his eyes, and his welding
14:55
Speaker 1: goggles had a kind of tint to them, so it
14:57
Speaker 1: was like he was looking through sunglasses, and with the
15:00
Speaker 1: he was able to continue looking at the craft. And
15:03
Speaker 1: so through his goggles, Stephan is still just standing in
15:06
Speaker 1: the same spot where he first saw these craft, and
15:09
Speaker 1: he's watching this craft that's now landed one hundred and
15:12
Speaker 1: fifty feet away from him, and he's fully expecting any
15:16
Speaker 1: minute for the pilot or pilots to come out of
15:19
Speaker 1: the craft and explain what's going on. But at first,
15:23
Speaker 1: nothing happens, and so Stephan is just standing there waiting
15:26
Speaker 1: for something to happen, when he realizes he has his
15:28
Speaker 1: sketch book in his pocket. Stephan liked to bring his
15:31
Speaker 1: sketch book along on his prospecting trips because he liked
15:35
Speaker 1: to sketch things, and so he figured while he waited
15:37
Speaker 1: for the pilot or pilots to emerge, he would sketch
15:40
Speaker 1: the craft, and so for the next couple of minutes
15:43
Speaker 1: that's what he did. And then after he was done
15:45
Speaker 1: sketching it, he put his sketch book away, and then
15:48
Speaker 1: really nothing happened for about another thirty minutes. He just
15:51
Speaker 1: stood there and the craft remained motionless. But after about
15:55
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of the craft having landed, it opened. There
15:58
Speaker 1: was like a sliding door or on the side of
16:00
Speaker 1: the craft facing Stephan, and it revealed the beautiful, bright
16:05
Speaker 1: purple interior of this craft. But from Stephan's perspective, because
16:09
Speaker 1: of how bright the lights were and how far away
16:11
Speaker 1: he was, he couldn't tell what was inside of the craft.
16:15
Speaker 1: But Stephan's thinking, okay, clearly, now the pilot or pilots
16:19
Speaker 1: are coming outside, and so Stephan felt really relieved and
16:22
Speaker 1: he was just standing there waiting to talk to whoever
16:25
Speaker 1: was inside, but again nothing happened. And so, now feeling
16:30
Speaker 1: just plain curious, Stephan decided, you know what, I'm going
16:33
Speaker 1: to walk over there, and I'm going to yell into
16:36
Speaker 1: this open door to the pilot or pilots inside and
16:40
Speaker 1: make sure they're okay. And so he starts slowly making
16:43
Speaker 1: his way across the rock face towards this craft and
16:46
Speaker 1: this open door, and when he gets about sixty feet
16:49
Speaker 1: away from the craft, he suddenly stops because now he
16:53
Speaker 1: can hear from inside of this craft the sound of
16:56
Speaker 1: two voices talking to each other. He can't really tell
16:59
Speaker 1: what they're saying, but very clearly there is communication happening
17:03
Speaker 1: inside of this craft. And so Stephan assumed that must
17:07
Speaker 1: be the pilots, and so he called out to them
17:09
Speaker 1: in English. And the second Stephan yelled out to this craft,
17:14
Speaker 1: the voices immediately came to a stop and they did
17:16
Speaker 1: not respond to Stefan, And so Stephan is calling out
17:19
Speaker 1: to them in English, you know, hey, are you okay?
17:21
Speaker 1: What are you doing in there? And when English didn't work,
17:24
Speaker 1: Stephan called out in Russian, he called out in German, Italian, French, Ukrainian,
17:29
Speaker 1: and when all of those didn't work, he went back
17:31
Speaker 1: to English and just continued kind of calling out, trying
17:34
Speaker 1: to get them to please come out and talk to him.
17:37
Speaker 1: But he got no response, and no one came out
17:40
Speaker 1: of the craft. And so at this point Stephan thought, Okay,
17:42
Speaker 1: I'm totally committed, so I need to keep going and
17:45
Speaker 1: make sure the pilot or pilots are okay. And so
17:48
Speaker 1: he continued walking closer and closer to this open door
17:51
Speaker 1: of the craft, and when he got about ten feet away,
17:54
Speaker 1: he was suddenly struck by the incredible craftsmanship of this craft.
18:00
Speaker 1: He couldn't see any rivets anywhere on this amazing piece
18:04
Speaker 1: of machinery, meaning this craft appeared like it had somehow
18:08
Speaker 1: been carved out of one enormous piece of steel, which
18:12
Speaker 1: seemed totally impossible. Also, Stephan noticed there were no insignia
18:17
Speaker 1: on the outside of this craft. There was no flag
18:20
Speaker 1: or anything kind of denoting who was flying it. There
18:23
Speaker 1: was really nothing on the outside of the craft. But
18:27
Speaker 1: Stephan just kept on going until he was standing right
18:30
Speaker 1: outside of this open door. He's only a couple feet
18:33
Speaker 1: away from it, and now he's looking directly inside and
18:36
Speaker 1: he doesn't see the pilot or pilots, and in fact,
18:39
Speaker 1: because of how bright this purple light is coming out,
18:42
Speaker 1: even with his goggles, it's really hard to see what's
18:45
Speaker 1: inside of this craft. But he can clearly see inside
18:49
Speaker 1: there is some sort of panel in the back of
18:51
Speaker 1: the craft with lots of flashing lights, almost like a computer,
18:54
Speaker 1: and there were other kind of columns of light moving
18:57
Speaker 1: around inside the craft at different angle. But after looking
19:01
Speaker 1: in this craft for only a few seconds, the door
19:04
Speaker 1: suddenly slid shut and then Stephan, without really thinking about it,
19:08
Speaker 1: reached out and touched the craft. And the second he
19:12
Speaker 1: did that, two things happened. One the hand that he
19:15
Speaker 1: touched the craft with he was wearing a big welding glove,
19:18
Speaker 1: and the second he made contact with that craft, the
19:21
Speaker 1: leather glove began to melt, not even catch on fire,
19:24
Speaker 1: it just instantly began to melt, and so he began
19:27
Speaker 1: frantically ripping the glove off to get it off of
19:30
Speaker 1: him to avoid injury. And then the second thing that
19:32
Speaker 1: happened is the craft began rotating counterclockwise until this vent
19:37
Speaker 1: that was on the outside of the craft, one of
19:40
Speaker 1: the very few things that was on the outside of
19:42
Speaker 1: the craft that actually Stephan had noted in his sketch.
19:45
Speaker 1: He had drawn this grate that sat on the outside
19:48
Speaker 1: of the craft. This grate rotated around until it was
19:52
Speaker 1: aimed directly at Stephan. Now, to picture this great picture,
19:56
Speaker 1: like a vent you would see inside of a building
19:58
Speaker 1: where air conditioning blows air out of right, It's kind
20:01
Speaker 1: of like that same size the size of a license
20:03
Speaker 1: plate on a car. And instead of there being vertical
20:06
Speaker 1: slats along the vent like you would see with an
20:09
Speaker 1: air conditioning vent cover, on this vent, on this craft,
20:13
Speaker 1: it was like a checkerboard pattern with little buttonholes all
20:16
Speaker 1: over this fent. And so Stephan is looking at this
20:19
Speaker 1: vent and then suddenly something shoots through the vent like
20:23
Speaker 1: an explosion that hits him square in the chest and
20:26
Speaker 1: lights him on fire. His shirt is literally in flames,
20:29
Speaker 1: and so Stephan is frantically trying to rip off his shirt.
20:32
Speaker 1: He throws it on the ground, he's stomping the flame,
20:34
Speaker 1: and as he's doing that, he looks up and sees
20:37
Speaker 1: this craft has somehow immediately shot into the sky and
20:41
Speaker 1: is now disappearing into the clouds now. Stepan had no
20:45
Speaker 1: idea what just happened. All he knew is his chest
20:48
Speaker 1: and his stomach now hurt tremendously. But before he could
20:52
Speaker 1: deal with that, he developed this unbelievable headache. He suddenly
20:56
Speaker 1: felt so nauseous, and he felt delirious like he was drunk.
21:00
Speaker 1: Trying not to panic Stepan, who now is shirtless and
21:04
Speaker 1: badly burned, he ran over and grabbed some of his
21:07
Speaker 1: things and then he began heading back into the woods
21:10
Speaker 1: to make his way back towards the motel. It would
21:12
Speaker 1: take him several hours of stumbling through the forest, stopping
21:16
Speaker 1: periodically to vomit, but he would eventually reach the highway.
21:19
Speaker 1: He would cross over, and he would make his way
21:21
Speaker 1: into the motel right around four pm. And when he
21:24
Speaker 1: got there, he made his way into the cafe and
21:26
Speaker 1: he asked the staff if they knew where the nearest
21:29
Speaker 1: doctor was. These staff members would later tell investigators that
21:33
Speaker 1: when Stephan came tumbling into the cafe without his shirt on,
21:37
Speaker 1: looking totally horrible, they assumed he was drunk, but after
21:40
Speaker 1: talking to him, he didn't smell at all like alcohol. Instead,
21:44
Speaker 1: he reeked of this horrible sulfur smell. The staff would
21:48
Speaker 1: tell Stefan that the nearest doctor was forty five miles away,
21:52
Speaker 1: and so at this point Stephan decided his best bet
21:54
Speaker 1: was actually to just get on a bus and go
21:56
Speaker 1: back to Winnipeg, where his family could take him to
21:59
Speaker 1: the nearest hospital. And so somehow Stephan managed to make
22:03
Speaker 1: his way to the bus stop. He hopped on a
22:05
Speaker 1: Greyhound bus, he went to Winnipeg, and then his oldest
22:08
Speaker 1: son Mark met him at the bus stop and practically
22:11
Speaker 1: carried him into the hospital. The very strange checkerboard burn
22:15
Speaker 1: pattern found on Stephan's abdomen, where he claims this craft
22:19
Speaker 1: turned its vent then fired on him, were determined not
22:24
Speaker 1: to be thermal burns, meaning he didn't get them from
22:27
Speaker 1: something hot touching his skin like everyone initially suspected. Instead,
22:32
Speaker 1: they were determined to be chemical burns. But literally no
22:36
Speaker 1: one doctors, scientists, government agencies, no one could figure out
22:40
Speaker 1: what chemical actually burned his skin. In fact, no one
22:45
Speaker 1: was ever able to actually identify what was causing all
22:49
Speaker 1: of these ailments that Stephan was complaining of, from the
22:52
Speaker 1: headache to the nausea to the weakness to these burns.
22:55
Speaker 1: And he was tested for basically everything from radiation poisoning
22:59
Speaker 1: to very common ailments and illnesses and everything came back negative.
23:04
Speaker 1: Experts would go out to Falcon Lake to the area
23:07
Speaker 1: that Stephan described seeing this craft, and sure enough they
23:10
Speaker 1: would find an open rock face, and right around the
23:13
Speaker 1: area that Stephan described was the circular burn pattern, as
23:17
Speaker 1: if something had been perched right there that shot some
23:20
Speaker 1: sort of exhaust into the ground. And the area around
23:23
Speaker 1: this landing site was determined to be highly radioactive, although
23:28
Speaker 1: it is assumed that the reason that area is radioactive
23:31
Speaker 1: is because there is a vein of radium that runs
23:34
Speaker 1: underneath the rocks near the area. However, what no one
23:38
Speaker 1: could explain away were the three identical pieces of what
23:41
Speaker 1: looked like metal, which actually turned out to be a
23:44
Speaker 1: very rare type of silver, that were located near this
23:48
Speaker 1: burn circle. Now, even though the Falcon Lake area was
23:52
Speaker 1: known apparently for having silver deposits up in the hillsides,
23:56
Speaker 1: this silver, these three pieces of silver were not from
23:59
Speaker 1: the hillsides of Falcon Lake. This silver was heavily manufactured
24:04
Speaker 1: someone something some machine had manipulated the metal to bend
24:09
Speaker 1: and be cut in a very particular way, and all
24:12
Speaker 1: three of these pieces of very rare silver were highly radioactive.
24:17
Speaker 1: They would also find traces of this very rare type
24:20
Speaker 1: of silver that seemed to have seeped into some of
24:24
Speaker 1: the loose rocks that were inside of that burned out circle,
24:28
Speaker 1: almost like the silver had melted into the rock. But
24:32
Speaker 1: despite these pieces of evidence that do seem to suggest
24:36
Speaker 1: that Stephan really did see some craft land on these rocks,
24:41
Speaker 1: and despite the fact that the US government and the
24:44
Speaker 1: Canadian government both thoroughly investigated this case and they were
24:49
Speaker 1: not able to debunk it. They basically said, well, something happened,
24:52
Speaker 1: but we don't know what. Despite all of that, Stephan
24:56
Speaker 1: and his family's lives were forever upended after this incident.
25:00
Speaker 1: Stephan was ridiculed and accused of lying and of being crazy,
25:05
Speaker 1: and his kids were unfortunately bullied at school. Shortly before
25:09
Speaker 1: Stephan died in nineteen ninety nine at the age of
25:12
Speaker 1: eighty three, he was asked if he regretted coming forward
25:15
Speaker 1: with this story, and he would say, yes, I wish
25:18
Speaker 1: I never told anyone, But he would also say at
25:21
Speaker 1: the time he really felt like he had a duty
25:24
Speaker 1: to tell the world about what happened. Stephan never changed
25:28
Speaker 1: his story, and he never came out and said I
25:31
Speaker 1: think this craft came from another world, another planet, another universe.
25:35
Speaker 1: He just said, look, I think it was an experimental aircraft.
25:39
Speaker 1: That's it. He also never made a dime on this experience.
25:43
Speaker 1: If anything, he lost money because he paid to write
25:47
Speaker 1: a forty page pamphlet that explained what happened to him,
25:50
Speaker 1: and then he left all these copies on his porch.
25:53
Speaker 1: So if newspeople showed up, or if nosey neighbors showed
25:56
Speaker 1: up and had questions, he would just point to the
25:58
Speaker 1: stack of the books and say, take one and read it.
26:03
