“I know what I saw”
American news reports that on May 20, 1967, Stefan Michalak, a Canadian geologist, was searching for fossils near Falcon Lake, when he was the victim of one of the most mysterious and discussed close encounters of the second type ever.
In fact, he saw coming, a few hundred meters away from him, what would later prove to be an unidentified flying object on which he was able to distinguish, in particular, a perforated grid whose usefulness he would later understand.
Having approached one of the doors of the structure, believing that it was a military vehicle, he issued a series of calls in the various languages known to him, without receiving a response. As he tried to look inside the spacecraft, blinded by a very bright light, he placed his hand on a wall and the rubber glove he was wearing melted; suddenly the door closed and the geologist felt a very strong pain on his chest, caused by something that came from the perforated grill that he had seen previously, after which the mysterious object disappeared into thin air after a few seconds.
The injured man reached the nearby hospital where he was treated for superficial burns; a few days later, however, he was rushed to hospital due to a very strong burning sensation in his chest which had a series of spots that resembled the design of the perforated grill that had previously injured him, while the rest of his body appeared swollen and purple. Although the doctors didn’t know what to do, during the night every mark on his body disappeared as if it were nothing.
The origin of these symptoms was never explained; some doctors hypothesized contact with gamma 1 radiation, but in this case such recovery would have been impossible in a short time, without suffering any kind of consequence.
From that day on Stefan will always say: “I don’t ask anyone to believe me, but I know what I saw.”
