In May 1967, a Polish immigrant named Stefan Michalak was hunting for silver in the Canadian wilderness when two glowing objects dropped out of the sky. One landed nearby. He sketched it, approached it, and ended up in the hospital.

His burns were documented. His weight loss was documented. His radiation-like symptoms baffled more than a dozen doctors, including specialists at the Mayo Clinic.

The Royal Canadian Air Force launched an investigation. So did the RCMP. So did the US Air Force. Nobody could explain what happened.

The government eventually sealed the file. The same government, fifty years later, minted his story on a coin. It glows in the dark.

This is the Falcon Lake Incident — Canada's most documented UFO case, and it's still unsolved.
