A full application of color re-creates the springtime colors of the place where Michalak saw two objects appear in the midday sky. Based on the witnesss descriptions and sketches, the oval-shaped UFO on the reverse has a steel-like appearance as it hovers above him. Black light-activated features complete the story by mimicking the distinctive red glow described by Michalak, while adding a yellow hue to the blast of hot air or gas that knocked the amateur prospector on his back and left him with mysterious burn marks.

Around midday on May 20, 1967, amateur prospector Stefan (Stephen) Michalak was on the hunt for precious metals in Whiteshell Provincial Park when he suddenly noticed two strange objects in the sky. Both glowed with an intense red glare as they descended from the sky. One abruptly left the scene, but the other landed roughly 50 meters away from Michalak. He then moved in to get a closer look. The humming object was described as having a sulphurous smell, and it appeared to be made from a stainless steel-like material. Peering into a brightly lit opening, Michalak heard muffled sounds and tried calling out to them, only to be met with silence. He touched the seamless sides of the craft, which melted the tips of his glove. When the UFO suddenly lifted off the ground, it emitted a blast of hot air or gas that knocked Michalak on his back, igniting his shirt, and causing a grid-like pattern of third-degree burns to his chest. What was the strange craft? Where did it come from? Its a story that has more questions than answers. Michalak never claimed the craft was an alien one; neither did he waver in his account of what he had seen and experienced that day, even under the scrutiny of doctors, scientists, law enforcement officials, and other authorities. All who questioned and examined him could neither corroborate nor disprove the close encounter. Canada is a hotbed of UFO activity! According to a survey, 1,131 UFO sightings were reported in Canada in 2016 but only 4% of these could not be explained. Quebec also leads all other provinces in reported UFO sightings. In 1967 (the same year as the Falcon Lake Incident), the worlds first UFO landing pad was built in St. Another famous Canadian UFO sighting took place in 1967 this time, in Shag Harbour, N. Where a series of orange lights were seen flashing in the sky before the unknown object crashed into the ocean. In 2016, a public opinion poll reported that four in five Canadians believe intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, and nearly half of those polled believed aliens had already visited Earth. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected by a black beauty box. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.

Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We place the coin at an angle, in some photos, to better depict the mirror bright finishes. However, angling the coin usually results in one side of the coin being slightly out of focus.
