1967, The Falcon Lake Landing, Stephen Michalak’s Alien Encounter

(Before It's News)

An important UFO close encounter of the second kind comes to us from Canada. This amazing account details the experiences of Stephen Michalak of Winnipeg. Michalak earned his living as a mechanic, but was an amateur geologist, and while enjoying a few days off, he decided to do some prospecting. He tried his luck in the Whiteshell Provincial Park.

This area was by no means new to Michalak.

He had spent considerable time in the vicinity of the lake there. Michalak had followed reports of quartz veins being found in the area around Falcon lake. There were also reports of silver being found, and Michalak was on the trail of the valuable metal on May 19, 1967. He had traveled by bus from his home town of Winnipeg to a motel on the Trans-Canada Highway the night before.

Stephen rose early that morning, heading into the vast beauty of the wilderness. Only a couple of hours had transpired before he found a quartz vein by a small brook. After breaking for a quiet lunch, he resumed his work. At about 12:15 P.M. his attention was drawn away from his labors by the sound of geese passing overhead.

Looking up to see them fly over, he was shocked to see two red, glowing, elongated objects descending from the skies. As they came ever closer, their shape was defined more as disc-shaped. As he stood mesmerized by the sight, one of the craft abruptly stopped and hovered in midair.

The other continued its downward flight until it landed on a big, smooth rock only about 150 feet from him. The hovering craft began to move away, and as it went, it changed colors from red to orange, and finally gray.

It disappeared into the clouds above him. The landed craft also began to change its color in the same pattern. Finally, the gray turned into what appeared to be “hot stainless steel,” with a golden glow.

Michalak had been wearing his protective welding glasses earlier, and now they protected his eyes from the brilliant purple lights shining through openings in the front of the craft. He could now smell something..like sulfur, and hear a type of hissing sound. Curiosity overcame him.

He knew he was looking at something he thought he would never see, a craft from another world. The only emotion more powerful than his curiosity was the gripping fear that held him in his tracks. He did have the presence of mind to sketch the object, never moving a step.

After approximately 30 minutes, he was frightened to see a door open from the side of the object. He could now see inside the craft! The interior was brilliantly lighted.

Pulling all the courage together that he possessed, he moved ever closer to the other worldly craft.

As he reached a point about 60 feet from the mysterious flying machine, he could hear two voices conversing above other sounds coming from inside the object.

Being a multi-linguist, he tried several languages to communicate with whoever… or whatever was inside. All of his efforts failed to draw a response from inside.

Undaunted, he moved even closer. He reached the door, and stuck his head inside. He saw a large panel of different colored lights, and other light beams crossing in different directions.

Michalak would later describe the flashing lights as resembling lights on a computer.

He saw no one in the craft, and decided not to push his luck any farther. He moved back away from the door. Suddenly, three panels moved together, hiding the door. His attention was now on the exterior of the craft. He later described the surface as “highly polished colored glass with no breaks or seams in its surface.”

He reached out his hand to touch the polished surface, and his glove was melted. Suddenly the object suddenly moved, and as it did, a vented opening was exposed, like a type of exhaust port. He estimated it’s size as about nine inches high by six inches wide.

Heat was vented through the opening, setting Michalak’s shirt and undershirt on fire. He was now in great pain. He quickly tore off his top garments, and turned to see the craft ascending back into the skies. He felt a rush of air as it made it’s departure. He could still smell the craft after it had disappeared.

Knowing that he needed medical attention, he quickly tried to mark the spot. Using rocks, pine cones, loose dirt, anything he could find, he made a landmark. A severe headache now was complicated by a sick stomach. He broke into a cold sweat, and vomited.

On his way back to his motel, he had to stop several times to ease his stomach pain.

After being refused help from a passing police officer, he finally reached his motel. It was now 4:00 P.M. He entered the coffee shop, and asked someone to recommend a doctor.

The nearest doctor was in Kenora, 45 miles east of Falcon Lake. Because of the distance, he decided to return home instead of making the trip to Kenora. The next bus would not arrive for about four hours, so he rested in his room, and phoned his wife.

He told her only that he was in an accident, but was OK. He instructed her to have their son meet him at the bus terminal in Winnipeg. He arrived there at 10:45 P.M. His son took him to the Misericordia Hospital immediately.

He was treated for his headache, nausea, and the grid-like burns on his chest. Theorists came out of the woodwork suggesting that his burns were from a barbecue pit, or some other common object.

Stephen Michalak made not a cent from his story. He paid all of his own medical expenses, including a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for additional treatment. To defray these costs, he wrote a privately funded booklet on his experience, but it lost money.

Ultimately, Michalak was seen by more than a dozen doctors in the United States and Canada.

The site of the experience was investigated by the RCMP, RCAF, other government officials and civilian groups. America’s Condon Committee also joined the investigation.

Nothing conclusive was every offered to debunk the fantastic account of Stephen Michalak. His story is unique in many ways, and is accepted as genuine by many UFO groups and investigators.

One Of The Strangest Alien Abduction Cases In China Ever Told

(Before It's News)

One of the strangest abduction case in China 1994–Case#2: Meng Zhaoguo Incident (English version)
 

The Meng Zhaoguo Incident refers to a supposed (CE3K) close encounter of the third kind, experienced by a man of the same name, which took place in Red Flag Forest in Heilongjiang.

In 1994, Meng Zhaoguo reported that he and a relative had followed what he thought was a weather balloon after they saw a white, shining object descend into Red Flag Forest.[2] According to his recollection, on finding the downed object, he found that it was in fact a spacecraft, flanked by Template:Convert tall six-fingered aliens.

After the initial encounter, Meng claimed to be was suffering from ongoing harassment from the entities, and reported being taken to their spacecraft and forced to copulate.[1] He claimed that on the subsequent 17th of July he was abducted from his house and shown Wikipedia:Jupiter, which the entities claimed was their homeworld.

His story was examined by the UFO Enthusiasts Club at Wuhan University throughout 1997. They concluded that whilst the initial contact may have occurred, the subsequent reported events were almost certainly untrue.[1] However, the state-sponsored UFO Research Society concluded that his claims were true.

In June 1994, while working at the Red Flag logging camp in the northwest portion of Wuchang, Meng Zhaoguo and two coworkers alleged they had seen a strange metallic shine coming from Mount Phoenix. Meng went to investigate what he thought was a downed helicopter. When he approached the site he stated that something hit him in the forehead, knocking him out.

A short time later, Meng claimed he encountered a 10 foot tall female alien with six fingers and braided leg fur. Other than that, she looked human.

He maintains that for 40 minutes he had sexual intercourse with the alien while floating above his sleeping wife and daughter. The alien then disappeared, leaving Meng with a 5 cm scar on his thigh.

While these strange & sexual occurance are Meng’s claims, this apparantly was not backed-up (or confirmed) by the two co-workers that allegedly also saw the same the strange metallic shine at the same time that meng allegedly saw it.

Apparently, he might have been knocked over, fainted, and fell asleep, having this dream. His sleeping wife & daughter did not confirm his account.

He then alleges a month later to have levitated through a wall and encountered other aliens aboard their craft. He asked to see the female alien again, but was told that it wasn’t possible. He states they told him that on a distant planet the son of a Chinese peasant, his child, will be born in 60 years (Wikipedia:2054). Meng’s theory is that the aliens had hinted to him, that his child will be born from the intercourse that he had in the prior month with the female alien and that it will take sixty (60) years for the female alien to concieve & be preagnet with his future child.

In September 2003, Meng was given a medical exam and a lie detector test and placed under hypnosis (WP) in an attempt to reveal the authenticity of his claims. Wikipedia:Zhang Jingping, who organized the testing, said that Meng’s results indicated that he told the truth. Zhang also stated that after a doctor had checked Meng’s scar, they concluded that the scar “could not possibly have been caused by common injuries or surgery.”

STRANGE MANEUVERING ALIEN DISC OVER DAVIS CALIFORNIA

(Before It's News)

At about 5:29 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, June17, 20014, I walked out my gate to look across open fields of tomatoes looking across another 12 miles of oak and crops or dry scrub toward the slightly hazy mountains on the west of the big, central valley.  So, I was looking due west and just slightly north of the canyon entry to Lake Berryessa. It was clear and sunny outside. Looking due west at about 1500-3000 feet and 1 1/2 to 3 miles from me I saw a large, brightly reflected metal face, seemingly wedge-shaped in stationary, possibly hovering mode (not making sound), which, after about 1 second, disappeared.  Then it appeared again, this time in more or less the same place. It was clearly a large; roughly 35-60 foot metal canopy and it shifted position so suddenly that it could not be a normal curved aerodynamic maneuver. 

After another 2 or three seconds, it appeared again, this time with crisp, clean definition. It was a smoothly domed, shiny metallic saucer that had a dark metallic (blackish or dark bluish) apron around its lower rim.  I noticed a kind of fast, very elastic distortion of the air and light at the edges of the disk, a field effect as it hovered with a slightly wobbly center of gravity. After 2-3 seconds in plain view, it suddenly folded into a kind of space and, after a couple of seconds, appeared about 2-4 kilometers to the southeast and farther away.  Then, after a few seconds, it appeared about a kilometer closer (still to my west-southwest) It hovered, again making no sounds, then began to shift position, then appeared to possibly be joined by another.  I essentially felt a communication asking me if I would want it shot down, which I certainly didn’t. But then I pulled back to a merely observational, studious mind-frame.  Unlike some people, I don’t welcome incursions by what appear to be so-called “gray”-related aliens. Instead, I am on highly active, expanded watch for if and when such cases arise. As a citizen, I don’t want aliens to enter and operate at will in our atmosphere.  I followed the disk as it began to move in a northwesterly direction, moving at about half a mile to a mile per second, following the line of the mountains as they grow gradually taller – out along the range, looking north-northwest along the Big Valley’s western rim.  The disk hover flew, causing a kind of flickering of its outlines as it moved. In order to see where it went, I followed north along a dirt road for 80 yards in order to not lose sight of it. 

Then it was joined by first one, then two and then, finally, four other domed objects, each featuring a kind of oscillatory, linear creasing of (gravity) space just beneath them. They hovered, clearly aware of each other’s positions, then one began to swoop down toward the ground suddenly, faster than any aerodynamic form could without fatal injury, then they all faded out and were gone.

Elk Abducted By UFO Witnessed In Mt. St. Helens

(Before It's News)

Elk abduction witnessed, 1999

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Location: Mt. St. Helens, Washington
Date: end of February 1999

Time: around noon

Shortly before noon 14 forestry workers had just broken for lunch and were heading for the crew vehicle. Francisco and Agustin were nearly at the turnout, Manuel and two others were walking up the slope from an old overgrown access road, while the rest of the crew was scattered, most midway between the two groups on the north facing hillside. Francisco stopped to rest momentarily and watched the 14 elk of a herd that had been browsing all morning on a nearby slope northeast of them. Then out of the northeast, he spotted a strange moving object. The UFO presumably had already dropped some 70 feet down the height of the Douglas fir trees bordering the dirt road and was now drifting over a hilltop. Skimming the clear cut at brush top level and hugging the contour of the hill, the UFO appeared to be heading slowly toward the herd of elk. The object’s initial location was approximately 800 yards distant and 200ft lower in elevation than Francisco’s location. At first Francisco mistook it for a bi-colored paraglider silently drifting in for a landing. The object had a strange, slow wobble. It showed red on the right half, white on the left. Francisco quickly realized that he was not seeing any type of glider. The object advanced toward the elk herd, staying close to the ground as if in a “stealth mode”. When the elk became aware of the object, they bolted. Most tried running up the slope to the east, but the going was slow. A lone elk separated from the herd and headed north. The craft targeted the loner and moved in. Surprised and astounded, Francisco shouted to Agustin, “Look at that, Look at that!” The clear cut terrain prevented movement for the animals, innumerable small deciduous trees had trunks cut about 18” above the ground, transforming them into sharp stakes pointing skyward. The trunks, bristling with branches, lay helter-skelter, presenting crisscrossing barricades. The lone animal could not run fast. The wobbling craft, moving no faster than between 5 and 7 mph easily overtook it. The craft moved directly above the female elk and somehow lifted it into the air without any visible means of support evident to the observers. At this point, the animal ceased discernible movement, no kicking legs, no struggling body, and no indication of consciousness. The witnesses were amazed that the craft could lift the 500 pound animal. The “wing span” of the object measured not much longer than the length of the elk about 7 to 8 feet. The captured elk its head apparently against the ventral surface of the craft, and body standing stiffly upright, was lifted off the ground-just enough to clear the underbrush. The craft continued its slow, wobbling oscillation. The suspended elk moved likewise as if she were a solid metal sculpture welded to the craft. After the craft acquire the animal, it moved away at the same slow pace, to the north, following the contour of the land. The elk’s feet were observed sweeping circles, in conjunction with the craft’s movement, just above the brush and tree tops. Within a short time the craft approached the forest edge that defined the end of the clear cut area. Apparently the craft did not stop or maneuver in time to avoid hitting some of the lower branches. Because of the considerable distance of the craft, the witnesses could not discern exactly what had hit the trees whether the craft, the elk or something else is unknown. After hitting the branches, the witnesses saw it dip sharply and reverse direction before ascending vertically in front of the tree line. All three had the impression that the object had almost dropped the animal. Once above the tree top level, it moved over the forest margin and continued northward, dipped out of sight momentarily and then ascended at roughly a 45 degrees angle into the distance until it was obscured by the clouds.

13,000 Year Old Black Knight Satellite/U.F.O That NASA Knows of – Mayan Pakal Spacecraft

(Before It's News)

Black Knight also known as the Black Knight satellite is an alleged object orbiting Earth in near-polar orbit that ufologists and fringe authors believe is approximately 13,000 years old and of extraterrestrial origin.
Authors claim that there is a connection between long delayed echos and reports that Nikola Tesla picked up a repeating radio signal in 1899 which he believed was coming from space. The satellite explanation originated in 1954 when newspapers including the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the San Francisco Examiner ran stories attributed to UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe saying that the US Air Force had reported that two satellites orbiting the Earth had been detected. At this time no man-made satellites had been launched.

In February 1960 there was a further report that the US Navy had detected a dark, tumbling object in an orbit inclined at 79° from the equator with an orbital period of 104.5 minutes. Its orbit was also highly eccentric with an apogee of 1,728 km (1,074 mi) and a perigee of only 216 km (134 mi) At the time the Navy was tracking a fragment of casing from the Discoverer VIII satellite launch which had a very similar orbit. 

In 1973 the Scottish writer Duncan Lunan analyzed the data from the Norwegian radio researchers, coming to the conclusion that they produced a star chart pointing the way to Epsilon Boötis, a double star in the constellation of Boötes. Lunan’s hypothesis was that these signals were being transmitted from a 12,600 year old object located at one of Earth’s Lagrangian points.

An object photographed in 1998 during the STS-88 mission has been widely claimed to be this “alien artefact”. 

People analyzing these pictures have claimed that it could be the Pakal Spacecraft, a supposed Mayan spacecraft written about by Erich von Daniken.

Megalithic Works In Cusco Peru Made Long Before The Inca Existed

Archaeological Remains of Hatunrumiyoc. It is a wall constructed with the stone type “green diorite” (right wall) and is located outside the palace attributed to Inca Roca. The wall is admirable due to its polygonal architecture, whose front comprises almost the entire Hatunrumiyoc Street.

Hatunrumiyoc is known because it contains the famous “twelve-angle stone”. The palace was located at the corner of Hatunrumiyoc and Herrajes streets, which is currently occupied by the Archbishop’s Palace and by a museum of colonial art that is open to the public.

As you will notice in the above photo, the higher stones are MUCH smaller than those below; this appears to be Inca repairs done to an older megalithic wall.

The green andesite comprising this wall is at least as hard as granite, and thus could not be shaped with the Inca’s bronze tools. Also take into account that the stone is not local, but comes from at least 30 km away, and that the wall is 2 m thick…

As well, the ancient builders incorporated animal shapes, such as this snake in the design of the wall. The more I look and live in Cusco, the more I see that rather than being the founders of the city, the Inca FOUND it…

THE RODIN COIL: THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF ALL TIME?

In what might be the greatest discovery of all time, Marko Rodin has figured out how to 3-dimensionally model the mathematical language of nature.  As student of Marko Rodin Randy Powell says in his Ted Talk in 2010, “They say mathematics is the language of god, but until now nobody has been speaking god’s language”.

Some of the practical implications of this technology are said to be:

• Inexhaustible free energy
• An end to all disease
• Produce unlimited food
• Travel anywhere in the universe
• Build the ultimate supercomputer
• Obsolete all existing technology

Unfortunately, despite Marko Rodin’s work being peer-reviewed by some of the most prestigious names in science, it has suffered from a tremendous lack of attention.  Because of their unwillingness to sell out to private interests, the information remains in the hands of exhausted volunteers like Randy Powell.

The goal of Marko Rodin and his volunteers at Vortex Based Mathematics is “to create a grassroots energy and technology revolution by turning this knowledge over to the public in an open-source project. Science museum exhibits for kids, a simple book, a simple DVD, that’s all we’re looking to do.  We want to turn it into the hands of the people to produce and save the whole world”.

Thunderbird Sightings!

(Before It's News)

Thunderbird is a term adopted from Native American culture. It has become a popular catch-all term for all giant flying birds seen by people that are of unexplained origins.  In the Native culture, this was a symbol of a supernatural bird with special powers. 

We have yet to see an authentic verified photo of a carcass, but there are some great vintage-appearing photos being passed around. The one (above) has a nice vintage hunters look to it. 

The Tombstone Epitaph newspaper posted an article in 1890 about two cowboys shooting a giant bird. It was described as having smooth skin (like a bat) and featherless with a face like an alligator. They were said to have stretched the bird out against a barn and nailing it up to reveal it had a wingspan as wide as the barn. The description, admittedly, fits the flying dinosaurs of the pterodactyl type. 

Saskatchewan (above)

New Mexico (above)

Wyoming (above)

 

Jabiru (above), a stork from Mexico to South America with a 7-9 foot wingspan. Some believe this is a possible culprit for what people are calling a “thunderbird” but it seems pretty obviously a water bird to anyone who would see it and the size is not so tremendous as to terrify.

Wonder about sightings in your state?

Sighting in Virginia
Sightings in Illinois
Sightings in South Texas
Sightings in Alaska

Could Thunderbirds exist? It seems hard to believe anything exceptionally large can fly in our skies without us knowing about it, yet I know we have tall hairy people in our woods that have remained hidden from us, but they have a great advantage- it's harder to see one person who blends in with the shadowed woodlands moving about on another hillside than to look up at the big open sky and see a cryptid fly by.

 

Our hardest obstacle to proving something like a Thunderbird is getting a good measure of its true size while filming or capturing something that can take flight. So far as I can imagine, we aren't capturing one any time soon.

What’s The Real Deal About The Atacama “Alien”?

(Before It's News)

Researchers made a mysterious discovery in Chile’s Atacama Desert in 2003. This tiny skeleton looked human, but had many features that left scientists scratching their heads. When the images hit the internet, many people assumed the only explanation could be aliens. Thankfully, more reasonable heads prevailed and the remains were subjected to a battery of forensic testing in order to identify how this anomalous skeleton, nicknamed Ata, came to be.

So what made this specimen so peculiar? For starters, the skeleton was only 15 centimeters (6 inches) long. Many initially speculated that the remains were from a premature birth or miscarried fetus, though others disregarded the whole thing as a hoax.

Ata’s size isn’t the only thing that perplexed researchers; a host of physical deformities did not make it entirely clear if the skeleton is human or a non-human primate. Humans have 12 ribs, but this individual only had 10. The skull indicated the organism could have had turricephaly, which gives the head a cone-shaped appearance (which really didn’t help dissuade people from thinking Ata was an alien). Additional deformity of the face and jaw made the head look squished, giving it an appearance that was even further away from a typical human. 

The skeleton remained in a private collection until 2009, when it had been brought to a symposium in Barcelona. In the fall of 2012, scientists were given an opportunity to study Ata via x-rays, CAT scans, and genetic sampling. Imaging showed that the chest cavity still had the remains of lungs and a heart inside. The Atacama Desert is one of the most arid regions on the planet, and would allow biological material to preserve incredibly well. 

The preliminary genetic results do indicate the skeleton is definitely of human origin, but about 9% of the DNA tested did not match the human genome reference. While 9% sounds like a huge discrepancy, it just refers to the sequence portions used for reference, not the entire genome. These results are well within the expected parameters for contamination and degradation of the DNA after spending so long exposed to the elements. The preliminary results of the mitochondrial DNA were consistent with a haplotype found in Chile, meaning Ata’s mother was local to the area where the remains were found. 

One of the most amazing discoveries from the analysis was that Ata was not a fetus. There were mature teeth present in the mouth and the bones were well-developed, with the leg bones showing growth plates that one would expect to see in a 6-8 year old child. While the testing did provide answers, it also raised many more questions. How could a 6 year old child only be 6 inches long? 

There are a few possibilities to explain this:

• Dwarfism: It is possible that Ata was the afflicted with an extreme case of dwarfism, though the smallest person ever confirmed was 54.6 cm (21.5 in) tall. Also, no genetic indicators of dwarfism have been identified yet.
• Progeria: Ata could be a fetus that suffered from an extreme form of progeria, which brings about symptoms of aging very early in life. However, there aren’t any genetic indicators of that disease yet, either.
• Mummification: It is possible that the genotype and phenotype aren’t matching up because there weren’t any genetic anomalies. Ata may have been stillborn or miscarried and then subjected to badly-performed desiccation or mummification, causing the bones to take on such an odd appearance. But, this explanation can’t account for the two missing ribs or growth plates within the bones.

While we do know that Ata was human and most definitely not an extraterrestrial (no matter what the “documentary” Sirius has to say), that’s about the extent of what can be said for sure. More thorough genetic testing is still ongoing and researchers are trying to reconcile the base pairs that did not match up with the human reference. The only information that has been released so far has been preliminary, though the researchers have pledged that further results will go through the appropriate peer-review channels and be published in an accredited scientific journal.
