The Falcon Lake UFO Incident

The Falcon Lake UFO Incident is one of Canada’s most renowned and well-documented UFO encounters. It occurred on May 20, 1967, near Falcon Lake in Manitoba. The incident involved Stefan Michalak, an amateur geologist and industrial mechanic from Winnipeg, who reported a close encounter with an unidentified flying object.

The Encounter

On the day of the incident, Michalak was prospecting near Falcon Lake when he claimed to have observed two cigar-shaped, metallic objects descending from the sky. One of these objects landed nearby, emitting a sulfurous odor and a hissing sound. Michalak approached the craft, noting its seamless metal surface and a door-like opening from which he heard muffled voices. Assuming it might be a secret military vehicle, he attempted to communicate in several languages but received no response.​

As he examined the craft, it suddenly emitted a blast of hot gas through a grid-like vent, which struck Michalak in the chest, setting his clothing ablaze and causing burns. He managed to extinguish the flames and retreated from the area, experiencing nausea, headaches, and other symptoms consistent with radiation exposure. Medical examinations later revealed a grid-like pattern of burns on his torso.​

Investigations and Evidence

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), and other agencies conducted investigations into the incident. They found elevated radiation levels at the site, although these were later attributed to natural sources. Samples of metallic debris recovered from the site were analyzed and found to contain high purity silver with traces of other metals. Despite extensive investigations, no conclusive explanation for the incident was determined.
