      So you go back in time to that exact location, and you start looking around and waiting for the UFOs to arrive, but nothing happens, so you decide to land with your timemachine on this tiny rock face to look around. You open the door to get out, but then you get into an argument with your partner because your are not allowed to exit, when suddenly you hear Stefan yelling at the door. You both immediately freeze, and after a couple of seconds you decide to get the fuck out of there, so you turn the timemachine, start the engine and while doing so you accidentally burn Stefan.

    I love that Stefan’s “default setting” wasn’t fear at first, and then after he had indications to think something may be wrong, his first concern was the safety of the pilots. On top of him already having helped in WW2 liberations. He was just out enjoying the good parts of life and was still willing and brave enough to help, despite his overwhelmingly traumatic past. That, ladies and gents, is a good human being right there.

      one would think with Google earth, the thousands of not military satellites but civilian(private) satellites and the fact that EVERYONE today now has a, Hollywood style clear lens camera on their cell phones and the fact that, NOBODY (even hundreds to thousands) of people(s) have never kept classified shit classified forever without a leak(s). it's human nature to have it be incredibly difficult to keep things a secret from others. maybe a few people could do it, but if hundreds to thousands know a secret.....statistically, there are about, 20% of those secret holders that can't and won't keep the secret. lol. yes, even maybe just 50 years ago, it was easier to keep ghost or aliens a secret but today(2022) with all the technology and everyone having cameras that can see the inside of one's butthole from down the street......it's hard to not capture evidence/proof today if it is/was real. am I wrong? now, obviously there are people who WANT to believe, will believe no matter what....and people who refuse to believe, will refuse no matter what as well. since I'm an adult and try to always act like one, I set aside my personal biased opinions and feelings and look for straight fact(s)

      I find it suspicious that there’s no photos or an ounce of evidence that they’re extraterrestrial beings.
      I have seen several UFO’s in real life and its exactly how its depicted when recorded on Camera.
      Sometimes i think its man made. Nikola Tesla spoke of a ray gun. He had 1,000 patents. I believe about 200 were missing after the government took it. “Government kept top secret documents” on high levels of technological advances i doubt they would ever release it. All of the UFO 🛸 sighting began about 5-7 years after Nikola Tesla’s death.
      Just imagine having the power of speed of light, invisibility, chemical weapons, and Ray weapons. It be to easy to rob a bank and kidnap people.
      As someone who studies science (Mechanical Engineering) That piece of metal (silver) that was heavily manipulated. Silver is conductive. The man touched the craft. His gloves went on fire. I believe its due to (high voltages). Electricity passing through the material of the craft itself.
      What i’d like to know is the fuel source
      Just my two cents

    What an incredible person STEFEN MICHALAK was. His default action was not to be afraid, but to check on the pilots of this strange craft, ensuring they are okay. He'd already been held as a prisoner in a death camp, and then went on and helped with translating at the end of the war. Here he is, out on his own enjoying his freedom finally, doing what he wants, and was still willing to stop, and be helpful and brave, in spite of all the painful parts of his recent past. Stefen Michalak was an incredibly good human being, and I absolutely believe every bit of what he told of what happened that day back in 1967. [Edited to fix a typo.

      HAHAHAHA!!! Funny but true.
      Camp Lester, Okinawa, Japan. When I was maybe 12 or 13 I was playing street hockey on the tennis courts at Lester Middle School and me and another guy accidentally headbutt each other while we were warming up. HUGE gash to the bone above my left eyebrow. Horror movie amounts of blood pouring out of the gash.
      The naval hospital was right across the street from the middle school so a couple of my friends skate with me to the ER. We skate into an empty lobby, I'm holding a t-shirt SOAKED in blood to my face, and the navy Corpman (I will never forget his voice) says "hey guys. What's the emergency?"
      Anyway, had to sit there in this empty lobby for a while before going back into a room and then listen to two Corpmen argue over who was gonna stitch me up because neither one wanted "to fuck my eyebrow up for life."
      Whichever one did it did fine. It's not terribly noticeable but that was almost 30 years ago.

    A wonderful retelling of this story! I lived in Winnipeg at the time this happened and attended university astronomy classes there with Chris Rutkowski (a preeminent Canadian Ufologist who also wrote a book about the Falcon Lake incident called “When They Appeared”.) Chris investigated the incident and presented it to our class, along with many details. For instance, Chris told us that Stephen had been sent to the Mayo Clinic in the States to look for medical help with the reoccurring burns on his chest. He was there for quite a while and, upon his return to Winnipeg, his doctor contacted the clinic for a report. They said there was absolutely no record of Stephen having been there! (In spite of the fact that he still had his Mayo Clinic hospital bracelet.) Very curious, isn’t it? I believe there’s more to this story than we’ll ever know.

I had a Ripley's Believe it or not book around 2002 when I was a kid, and I distinctly remember that picture of the man lying down with his chest exposed and the grid pattern of burns and that book was what first got me interested in the unexplained, but I have no idea where it is since I've moved several times since then. It's good to hear the whole story after so long.

    This is crazy. Back in the 90s, some buddies and I were clearing some trees on my friend's dad's property high up on a ridge in the middle of nowhere, TX. We finished up at dark and were all hanging out by the truck eating tacos when one guy noticed an extremely bright green light in the trees about 500 yards away. It was on the neighbor's property, so we figured they were out spot lighting for pigs but we hadn't heard any shots or a truck. Well, the light was moving towards a big field in the bottom, so we just kept eating and talking and watching. Well, when it got to the field, from where we were, it looked like a big ball of green light. We ALL froze, someone said something, and we snapped out of our confused state. One guy grabbed a rifle from behind his seat and looked at it through the scope. We all took turns looking. It was so bright that it just looked like a ball of light, probably the size of a VW beetle. Then, after 10 minutes or so, it turned orange and went straight up. It went so high it disappeared completely. Watching this episode took me back to my 17 year old self. I still talk to 3 of the guys that were with me that night. I'm sharing this video with them.

    Wow a Manitoba story! There has been a ton of sightings and reports in the province for ufos. Basically, the entire northern half of Manitoba is very spread out, not many people, etc. There are a lot of stories and sightings (of not just ufos) in this area.
    I grew up in Churchill, a VERY isolated town (can only come by plane, train or boat). There have been many sightings I have been told about. I have even seen what I believe to be ufo as well. The craziest story though, is one very similar to this where a young girl in the late 60s was babysitting or at a friend’s house, and between the time of her leaving her friend’s house and walking home (everyone walks there because it is such a small town), she had encountered a ufo. She had burn marks, was frothing at the mouth, and was in a panicked state. I have heard the story so many times, but typically the relatives of the girl don’t like to talk about it. I know though that people still talk about it today.

      Yeah, I was subscribed to him for a few months, but he did a long series of stories about horrible murders and accidents, and bad things happening to good people started to get to me. Finally, one about a person being trapped in a cave gave me such a nasty attack of claustrophobia, I couldn't breathe and I unsubscribed. I love the way he tells stories, and his videos still appear in my feed, so when I see a paranormal one, I click on it. They don't typically have sad endings, and even if they do, I can take them as maybe fiction, maybe not.

When he come home, he said that he saw something he could not explain. And that was it. He never told anyone what he actually saw, because he thought no one would belive him. Took it to his grave.

I’ve studied some of your stories after watching your videos on them and I’m amazed at the details you’re able to gather. This story I watched pretty much everything on UA-cam about plus read the Wikipedia article on it and the details you go into hand to be sourced from multiple places. I appreciate the very informative details you find. The stories are interesting and very entertaining.
