Saturday, 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: May twentieth, nineteen sixty seven had been a busy one, 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: with large numbers flocking to the popular recreational spot located 26 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: on the shores of Falcon Lake to celebrate the first 27 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: day of the Long Victoria weekend. Things had calmed down 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: somewhat by the afternoon. As slot headed out for a 29 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: routine patrol along the highway with the time approaching three pm, 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: he was distracted by the sight of a man walking 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: stiffly along the south shoulder, carrying a briefcase in one 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: hand and clutching his stomach with the other. As Salotky's 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: car drew closer, the man looked up suddenly and waved 34 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: frantically toward the officer. After a quick you turn, Salotki 35 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: brought the car to rest about ten feet from the man, 36 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: who looked to be about fifty and was dressed in 37 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: light colored trousers with a brown jacket and a gray 38 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: cap on his head. As the man stared intensely at 39 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: Salotki through the windscreen, seeming a little unsteady on his feet. 40 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: Only then did Saloki realize that the man's chest was 41 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: completely bare underneath his jacket, with what appeared to be 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: streaks of charcoal smeared across it. Salotki put on his 43 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: hat and stepped from the vehicle. Stay away from me, 44 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: said the man, suddenly, holding a hand out toward the officer. 45 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: Is everything okay, sir, asked Salotki. Taking a step closer, 46 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: he could see the man's eyes red, his stomach and 47 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: chest were two, as though he'd been out under the 48 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: sun all day. He was also clearly inebriated, thought the officer. 49 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean it, said the man. Don't come any closer. 50 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: Why not, said Saloki, Because I've just seen two spaceships, 51 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: and I'm afraid you might get radiation poisoned from me, 52 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: said the man, without missing a beat. Salocki did his 53 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: best to stifle a laugh, then realized the man wasn't joking. 54 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: The officer looked toward the low line of trees bordering 55 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: the highway to the north and toward the endless empty 56 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: sky above them, as one car after another swept past. 57 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: When Saloki asked the man for some id He padded 58 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: his pockets, then held up a finger as if suddenly 59 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: remembering something. He popped the latches on his briefcase, then 60 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: took out a sheet of pain berth from inside it 61 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: and held it out in front of him as far 62 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: as he could reach without stepping any closer to the officer, 63 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: then motioned for Sloke to take it. Sloke rolled his eyes, 64 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: then grabbed it from the man, who then shuffled back 65 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: a few paces. Slotke scanned the document. Well, mister mccrlac, 66 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: you mind telling me what you've been doing out here 67 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: this afternoon mc carlac or Stefan mccarlac to give him 68 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: his full name. Winced in pain, then hesitated for a moment, 69 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: as if I'm sure about what he was about to 70 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: say next. Then finally he began to talk. He'd spent 71 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: the morning roughly two miles away to the north, out 72 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,559 Speaker 1: in the brush of the surrounding area known as White 73 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: Shell Provincial Park, prospecting on a claim he'd been working 74 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: for a good few months. Things had been going well 75 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: when out of nowhere he spotted two glowing red lights 76 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: approaching from a distance. As the lights drew closer, he 77 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: realized they were in fact aircraft, only they looked nothing 78 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: like anything he'd ever seen before. Both were source of 79 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: shaped about thirty six feet wide, with a dome at 80 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: the top. When the objects got to within one hundred 81 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: and fifty meters of where he was, one of them 82 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: descended from the sky and landed on a small shelf 83 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: of rock not thirty meters from where he was standing. 84 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: Assuming there was some kind of military vehicle, he approached 85 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: the craft and even touched it, only for it to 86 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: suddenly become searingly hot as it began to take off again. 87 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: Then a blast of hot air had shot out of it, 88 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: knocking Micrlac over and tearing his shirt off, damaging his 89 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: hat and undershirt too. Moments later, the craft rose up 90 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: into the sky and, along with the second vehicle, shot 91 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: off at tremendous speed and then disappeared into a cloud. 92 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: He showed Slotki where he'd been struck by the hot air, 93 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: pulling his jacket open to reveal a strange gridlike pattern 94 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: of what looked like small circular burns on his stomach 95 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: in a five by four rectangular pattern. Sulochi then saw 96 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: also that the black stuff smeared over them was some 97 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: kind of ash. Then Miss Carlac showed him the back 98 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: of his cap, which had also been burned, and said 99 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: that he'd put the damaged undershirt in his briefcase, But 100 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: when Sloki asked to look at it, mis Carlac refused, 101 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: worried that it might somehow poison him if he got 102 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: too close to it. After making a drawing of the 103 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: objects for Suloki to take back to his superiors, mis 104 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: Carlac declined the offer of a lift back to Fulken Beach, 105 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: where he was staying in a nearby hotel, then thanked 106 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: the officer for his help and set off on his 107 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: way again. Slotki returned to his car, where he sat 108 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: for a moment, watching the strange man as he ambled 109 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: off along the shoulder of the highway, realizing then that 110 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: despite his first impressions, he hadn't smelt any alcohol on 111 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: his breath at all. Then Slotki put his car into 112 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: gear and pulled out into the road. You're listening to 113 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: Unexplained and I'm Richard McClean smith. By four pm, Constable 114 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Slotkey was back at his desk at the Royal Canadian 115 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: Mounted Police Detachment Office, when he was informed that a 116 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: man was waiting for him outside in the car park. 117 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: It was mcarlac, wanting to know where the nearest hospital was. 118 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: Mccrlac once again refused to lift to get there, claiming 119 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: he didn't want to put the officer in any danger, 120 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: and promptly headed off to find the nearest bus station. 121 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: Later that night, mccrlac received treatment for thermal burns at 122 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: the Miseracordia Hospital in Winnipeg, where he lived. When he 123 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: finally arrived home, mccarlac contacted the Winnipeg Tribune newspaper and 124 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: told them about his incredible story. Though no one was 125 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: on hand that night, reporter head that Chisvin was sent 126 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: round to his home on Lindsey Street the following night 127 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: to get the details. On arrival, she was greeted by 128 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: Stefan's wife, Maria, and led into the living room, where 129 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: she found a seemingly weakened, pale Stefan convalescing on the sofa. 130 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: Mccarlac claimed to have been vomiting constantly ever since coming 131 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: into contact with the unknown craft, and had not been 132 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: able to keep any food down, not even bread or milk. 133 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: He was also plagued by terrible headaches and a bizarre 134 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: taste that he couldn't seem to shake from his mouth, 135 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: like burning electrical wire. Heather looked to Maria, who confirmed 136 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: it was all true. The deep concern for her husband 137 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: etched clearly on her face. The couple's equally worried children 138 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: had also gathered to join them, nineteen year old Mark 139 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: and nine year old Stan. A third child, Eva, was 140 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: away from home at the time. Heather flipped open her 141 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: notebook and asked Stefahn to tell her everything. Stefan mccarlac 142 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: was born in Poland in nineteen sixteen and had survived 143 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: the Second World War, having first fought in the Poli Army, 144 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: then joined the Polish Resistance when his country fell under 145 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: the occupation of Adolf Hitler's Germany. After five years under 146 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: German occupation, despite the war being over, Poland soon found 147 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: itself effectively occupied by Stalin's dictatorial Soviet Union, who in 148 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: nineteen forty five helped establish a Polish Communist government. The 149 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: following year, Stefan and Maria were married. Two years later, 150 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: their family of two had become four with the birth 151 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: of a daughter and son. But as the Communist government 152 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: with the support of the Soviet Union began a violent 153 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: crackdown on anyone who opposed the new regime. Mircarlach grew 154 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: increasingly worried for his and his family's future. After fleeing 155 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: to Germany alone, he then emigrated to Canada in the 156 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: hope of bringing his family with him. It wouldn't be 157 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: until a further ten years, however, before mccarlac's could be 158 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: finally reunited. By nineteen sixty seven, Stefan worked as an 159 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: industrial mechanic for the Winnipeg branch of the Inland Cement Company, 160 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: having become enamored with the great outdoors. Since moving to Canada, 161 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: he developed a passion for geology and the art of prospecting, 162 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: all of which led him to be at Falcon Lake 163 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: on the evening of Friday, nineteenth of May, where he'd 164 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: stayed the night in a hotel before making his way 165 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: to a small claim he'd been working about half a 166 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: mile west and two miles north of the lake the 167 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: following morning. The claim was located in a large open 168 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: patch of scrub on the edge of a small body 169 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: of water, surrounded by birch and pine. That morning when 170 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: he arrived there, sometime around eight am. He startled a 171 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: flock of geese as he approached, worried they might hassle him. 172 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: Mccarlac was relieved when they quickly down and seemed to 173 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: no longer notice him. Mccarlac then promptly got to work 174 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: measuring out a large quartz vein he discovered near the 175 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: spot before. He took out his hammer and began to 176 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: chip away at it. After a few good hours work, 177 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: Stefan had just taken a break when he was startled 178 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: by pained screeches coming from the geese who were flapping 179 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: and splashing about on the water. Turning to see what 180 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: all the commotion was about, mccarlac spotted a strange, fuzzy 181 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: red light far off in the distance above them, in 182 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: a south southwesterly direction. Then he spotted a second one 183 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: just behind it that seemed to be following the same path. 184 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: As the lights came closer, he realized with some surprise 185 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: that they were in fact aircraft of some kind, shaped 186 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: like saucers that appeared to be spinning at high speed. 187 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: Believing the aircraft were simply recent additions to the Canadian 188 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: Air Force, mec carlac watched them with a calm sense 189 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: of intrigue as they drew closer and closer, until one 190 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: of them dropped down and landed about thirty feet away, 191 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: while the other stayed hovering in the sky. With the 192 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: craft having landed, as mec Carlac continued to explain its rotation, 193 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: velocity began to decrease, and with it, so too did 194 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: the intensity of its red glow. Like a hot coal 195 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: getting cooler, it dimmed steadily until with the glow gone completely, 196 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: the craft was revealed to be made from some kind 197 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: of metallic material that was a light brass in color. 198 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: After apparently watching it to do nothing for ten minutes, 199 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: mec Carlac then claimed a hatch opened up on the 200 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: side of it, through which he was able to see 201 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: a bright, multi colored column of light shining out from 202 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: in sight, surrounded by ribbed walls. It was then that 203 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: he heard the voices. They were quiet at first, but 204 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: grew steadily louder, like a group of men excitedly discussing something. 205 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: He thought Further attempts to communicate in numerous languages also 206 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: fell flat. Then the hatch simply closed up again and 207 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the device started to spin once more. In his confusion, 208 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: micrlac claimed he couldn't help but approach the craft to 209 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: try and get a better sense of what it was. 210 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: When he put his gloved hand to the surface, it 211 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: burnt the tips of the fingers. Then seconds later he 212 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: was struck by an almighty burst of hot air. The 213 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: next thing he knew, he was on the floor, with 214 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: his shirt on fire and in tatters, lying on the 215 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: ground before him, hurrying to his feet to stomp out 216 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: the flames lest they spread to the forest. He could 217 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: only watch on with what was now utter disbelief as 218 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: the craft steadily lifted back into the air, then shot 219 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: off five times faster than any jet he'd ever seen, 220 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: and alongside the other one, disappeared into the clouds.

J. Davis and Constable Zacharias 247 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: visited mcarlac at his home. They found him sitting on 248 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: the sofa, clearly in some distress, looking frail and weak, 249 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: having apparently lost thirteen pounds in the last three days. 250 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: After being questioned on the matter, Stefan assured the incredulous 251 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: officers that everything they read in the article was correct, 252 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: and showed them the burns on his stomach, which were 253 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: still prominent, to prove it. But when they asked if 254 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: he would lead them to the apparent landing sight to 255 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: investigate further, he seemed suddenly reticent, claiming that he was 256 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: still too ill to do anything so strenuous, and when 257 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: they returned the following day with maps and birds eye 258 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: photographs of the region, he struggled to pinpoint exactly where 259 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: the alleged incident occurred. Then Davis asked me Carlac if 260 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: he'd been drinking at all that day or the night before, 261 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: thinking back to the report he'd dread of Constable Garrys 262 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: Lootkey's first engagement with him back on the Saturday afternoon, 263 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: but Micrlac insisted he'd been sober throughout the weekend. Later 264 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: that day, an RCMP officer paid a visit to the 265 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: Falcon Lake Hotel, where meccrlac had stayed on the Friday night. 266 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: The manager remembered the man well, especially the fact that 267 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: he'd served him at least five bottles of beer before 268 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: he retired for bed around eleven PM. A hotel housekeeper, however, 269 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: attested that she'd found no evidence that meccrlac had continued 270 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: drinking in his room. On May thirtieth, with the Canadian 271 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: Air Force having joined the RCMP in taking an interest 272 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: in the story, Squadron leader pauled Biskie joined Corporal Davis 273 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: on an aerial search of White Shell Provincial Park in 274 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: the hope of finding the apparent landing site without mecrlac. However, 275 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: the search proved fruitless. On tune first, meccrlac declared he 276 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: was finally well enough to lead the RCMP and Canadian 277 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: Air Force to the landing site. However, when they finally 278 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: made it into the brush together, me carlac proved a 279 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: lackluster guide, apparently unsure exactly of where he'd been. He 280 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: claimed then that he'd simply followed a quartz vein and 281 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: had just gone wherever it took him without paying too 282 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: much attention to his surroundings. At ten pm, after covering 283 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: four square miles, of territory, the search was abandoned. Davis 284 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: told me carlac to get in touch if he ever 285 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: planned to go looking for the site again. About the 286 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: same time, meccrlac was contacted by doctor Roy Craig, the 287 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: major field investigator for the University of Colorado's UFO project, 288 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: which was funded by the US Air Force to invest 289 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: gate unidentified aerial phenomena. Craig had been impressed with mccrllac's 290 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: story and also made efforts to find the landing site 291 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: with him, but again mccrlach struggled to find it. Growing 292 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: tired of Stefan's apparent prevaricating and with much of his 293 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: story not adding up, Squadron leader Bisky traveled alone to 294 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: Fulkembe Beach to investigate a nearby microwave tower, which had 295 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: been suggested as the real source of miccrlac's burns. Biskey 296 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: scaled up the strange concrete tower, with its array of 297 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: alien looking antennas and dishes, perched high up to the 298 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: north of the lake, and gazed out at the silence 299 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: surrounding forest. He found no evidence to suggest that meccrlac 300 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: had been there. Then, on June twenty sixth, Biskey received 301 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: a call from Stefan. He'd finally found the landing site. 302 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: As he explained into the squadron leader, he'd gone out 303 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: the day before with a man named Gerald Hart, who 304 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: had convinced him to try and find the location again. Hart, 305 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: who had a long running fascination with UFOs, ran an 306 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: electronic store in Winnipeg and was apparently in the process 307 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: of developing a device that could detect interstellar vehicles. As 308 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: mccarlac went on to explain, he and Hart were now 309 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: partners in this venture, whatever it was, but more importantly, 310 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: they'd found evidence of the landing. Annoyed by this new 311 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: turn of events, Biskey suggested to Corporal Davis did they 312 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: go round to mccarlach's house to take a look at 313 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: this apparent evidence for themselves. With Davis otherwise engaged, a 314 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: corporal Anderson was sent instead. When the officials arrived, mccrlac 315 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: wasive and claimed not to remember Davis's instruction to inform 316 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: him if he ever planned to look for the site again. 317 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: Seeing Bisky's obvious frustration with it all, miccrlac suggested that 318 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: he follow him downstairs to the cellar. Once there, Stefan 319 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: rummaged about at a work desk, then handed the squadron 320 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: leader two clear plastic bags, in one of which was 321 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: the tattered remains of the shirt he claimed to be 322 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: wearing on the day of the event, while the other 323 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: contained samples of soil and moss that he claimed to 324 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: have gathered from the scene. He'd also recovered his steel 325 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: measuring tape too. He handed it all over to Bisky, 326 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: who agreed to have it tested for him for any 327 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: sign of residual radiation. Then Bisky pressed him again and 328 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: where they could find the landing site, and asked how 329 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: mccarlac had found it. In the end, then mccarlac confessed 330 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: known where it was all along, but had not wanted 331 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: to tell anyone because he believed the site to be 332 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: rich and nickel and wanted his claim on the land 333 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: to be made official before he went public with its 334 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: precise location. He'd only shown gerald Hart where it was 335 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: after receiving assurances that his interest was strictly to do 336 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: with UFOs. Three weeks later, on July eighteenth, the soil sample, 337 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: steel tape, and pieces of burned clothing were delivered to 338 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: the RCMP Crime Detection Lab in Ottawa. A week later, 339 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: Corporal Davis received a telex message from the Mounted Police Commissioner. 340 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: It read UFO reported by Stefan mccarlac. Laboratory tests here 341 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: indicate earth samples taken from scene highly radioactive. A gamma 342 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: ray spectral analysis of the three samples revealed activity levels 343 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: of up to approximately no point five curries of radium 344 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: two to six or its equivalent. Radiation Protection Division of 345 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: Department of Health and Welfare Concerned that others may be 346 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: exposed if traveling area not restricted. It was then recommended 347 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: by the Department of Health and Welfare that the area 348 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: be closed off immediately to avoid anyone else being exposed 349 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: to the radiation, with department officials Stuart Hunt being dispatched 350 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: to make a thorough investigation. With Hunt convinced that mccarleach 351 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: was simply making the whole thing up, he traveled first 352 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: to a well known nuclear waste disposal site in East Braintree, 353 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: located about twenty five miles west of Fulcombe Beach, believing 354 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: mccarleack's soil samples had in fact come from there. But 355 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: Hunt found no evidence to suggest that mccrlac had been 356 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: anywhere near the disposal site. With it becoming increasingly likely 357 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: that there was a genuine radioactive hazard out in the wilderness, 358 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: it became imperative for mccrlac to reveal its location. Squadron 359 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Leader Bisky and Corporal Davis then drove Hunt to mccrlac's home, 360 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: along with another UFO enthusiast named Barry Thompson, who had 361 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: also been out to see the site. Hunt made it 362 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: clear in no uncertain terms that he had to investigate 363 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: the area, and mccrlac finally relented. After confiscating the rest 364 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: of the soil from a Carlac's home, Hunt made a 365 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: check of the property, relieved to find no other radioactive 366 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: material inside it. Then, on the morning of July twenty eighth, 367 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: mccrlac was driven out to Fulken Lake, where he met 368 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: up with Hunt, Bisky, and Davis, along with a number 369 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: of other RCMP and Air Force officials, with mac carlac 370 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: leading the way. Together, they stepped through the tree line 371 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,239 Speaker 1: to the north of TransCanada Highway one. After walking a 372 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: good few hours, me carlac brought them to a stop 373 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: about two miles north of the highway when they emerged 374 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: into a clearing alongside a small body of water. Then 375 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: he pointed to a small patch of Precambrian rock. There 376 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: he said, that's where it came down. The location was 377 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: barely a hundred feet from where Davis had sat to 378 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: take a break on the other side of a narrow 379 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: ravine way back in May when they'd first tried to 380 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: find it, but it had been obscured by trees. Plain 381 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: markers were dotted all over the place with meccrlach's name 382 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: and details on them. As Davis stood looking at the 383 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: rocky floor by the water, cutting through the moss and 384 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: other vegetation that clung to the rock, the outline of 385 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: a strange circle could clearly be seen about fifteen feet 386 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: in diameter, which, according to mccrlac, had been made by 387 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: the craft. As Davis snapped away with his camera taking 388 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: pictures of the scene, mccarlac took them through the events 389 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: of that peculiar morning in May, pointing to an opening 390 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: in the trees about twenty degrees north by northeast from 391 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: the apparent landing spot. Mccrlac explained that that was the 392 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: route the craft had taken when it arrived and where 393 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: it had traveled back to when it shot off. But 394 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: didn't you say it came from that way, asked Biskie, 395 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: pointing to the sky in a south by southwesterly direction, 396 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: as mccrlac had first told investigators. Stefan screwed up his 397 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: face as he apparently tried to recollect what he'd said before, 398 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: then turned back to face north northeast. Perhaps I was 399 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: just confused, he said. Meanwhile, Stuart Hunt set about taking 400 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: further samples of moss and soil, carving pieces of it 401 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: out from between the cracks of the rock. A few 402 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: days later, Hunt delivered his findings. The Undersigned does not 403 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: intend to prove one way or the other whether a 404 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: UFO had been sighted, as there are still too many unknowns. 405 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: There are, however, two conclusions that are of interest to 406 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: this division. A radioactive contamination of the rock and lychens 407 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: was found at the alleged UFO landing site. The origins 408 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: of this contamination as yet to be determined. B The 409 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: radiation levels measured were not high enough to create radiation 410 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: hazard to the general public. It was a relief to 411 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: all concerned that the location was no longer dangerously radioactive, 412 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: if it ever had been before. Not least of all 413 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: for mccarlac, who was now free to continue prospecting on it. 414 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: As for determining what had happened exactly, everyone remained at 415 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: a loss, finding that the soil from the apparent landing 416 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: site was contaminated with radium. Two six six, Department of 417 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Health and Welfare official Stuart Hunt suggested that mccarlac might 418 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: have used some kind of luminous paint, which often utilized 419 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: the substance in order to stage a hoax, a product 420 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: that was often used by the inland cement company who 421 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: mccrlac worked for. In August nineteen sixty seven, Corporal Davis 422 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: contacted mccrlac superior at the company, mister R. West, who confirmed, however, 423 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: that none of their paints contained radium. In twenty nineteen, 424 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: mccarlac's son Stan mccarllac, along with author Chris Ratkowski, published 425 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: the book When They Appeared Fulken Lake nineteen sixty seven, 426 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: The Inside Story of a Close Encounter, detailing what they 427 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: say is the most comprehensive retelling of the story. In it, 428 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: they claimed that in nineteen sixty eight, Stefan mccarlac, apparently 429 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: still suffering from his alleged brush with the UFO with 430 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: headaches and blackouts, not to mention the constant disappearance and 431 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: reappearance of those strange burn marks, took a trip out 432 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: to the supposed landing site. There he found a number 433 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: of strange pieces of silver covered in a peculiar black 434 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: substance that was later apparently found to be a radioactive 435 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: uranium or embedded in the cracks underneath where the alleged 436 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: foe was said to have landed. To this day, the 437 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: Canadian Department of National Defense identifies the Falcon Lake incident 438 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: as unsolved.
