      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.

    I like to think the occupants of the craft were really surprised by Stefan's lack of fear. They must of thought, "Is this guy nuts? He is just walking right up on us!" Little did they realize that this old dude had already lived through something far more scary then they could ever offer.

Also, MrBallen got it wrong- Stefan only ever stated he tried Polish, Russian, and German in addition to English. Once again, being a Polish man who was a Nazi prisoner in Eastern Europe means knowing those languages makes complete sense.

    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.

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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    A CLOSE up as in about 100 yards above them, and a car drove up and the headlights shined on the craft and it quickly and silently flew away down into the Sacramento valley from Auburn California ..
    2 weeks after the first close up, my family was awoken from a low hum that shook the house a little and the UFO landed in their field and stayed there for about 20 minutes ..
    It left a whitish circular impression where it landed in the field, and the grass around the edges were burnt ..
    My uncle was stationed at McClellan AFB and they had nothing on their radar, and he had high security clearance and double checked the radar info and nothing was there ..

      If you’d like a language to learn that’s easier than a spoken language (where you’ve to learn the reading, writing, grammar etc) then I’d always recommend sign language (British Sign, American Sign, Spanish Sign and so on). It’s easier than picking up another spoken language (for me personally I speak 3 spoken, 1 sign) and I found spoken languages harder. Sign language is an under appreciated language!

    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.

    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.

    The photo stating that govt agencies could not provide evidence to dispute the man's story is a formal fallacy called an appeal to ignorance: because something has not been proved false does not make it true and how can you disprove something not proven? The burden of proof for validation is on the person making the claim not on others to disprove and this is in science, philosophy & law. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was a phrase made popular by Carl Sagan who reworded Laplace's principle, which says that “the weight of evidence for an extraordinary claim must be proportioned to its strangeness” Hitchens's razor is an epistemological razor (a general rule for rejecting certain knowledge claims) that states "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

    I found the sulfur smell part really intriguing! When silver is cleaned via electrolysis, it smells like sulfur! So the fact that pieces of rare silver were found at the site, in addition to the sulfur smell on Stefan, I found extremely interesting!

      Doubt it was the silver. It was the aliens who smelled like that. Disgusting stench, like burnt flesh. I had an encounter with one in 2020. Never will forget.

      I've seen energy created like a battery by electrolysis. I bet that's the tech they used before going with lithium.

      Almost every documented case of demonic encounters there is a sulfur Smell attached.

      @@jewishhella2481 that was my first thought aswell, a lot of people associate sulfur with demons and negative entities.

    Love this story telling. Always get lost in the MrBallen rabbit hole. Wish he'd talk about the mystery of distance in Winnipeg where 45 miles only equals 72 meters (21:52). 😉 It's like a vortex up there! Keep the stories coming! Can't get enough!

    I love stories like this where there's physical hard evidence, melted gloves, the chest photo. But then a science-fiction mystery behind it; two red flying disc's, people talking inside one.
    Crazy we might NEVER know more.

    People seem to be surprised by Stefan's reaction - he wasn't fearful, but rather curious and concerned for the safety of the pilots of this craft.
    My guess is that it's hard to scare someone who's already been through hell of German concentration camp.

    My favorite part of these stories is how he tells them from the perspective of the victim so you can truly put yourself in their shoes and that helps you suspend judgement so you can empathize and relate to the story. I love that so much.
