One landed nearby. He sketched it, approached it, and ended up in the hospital. His burns were documented. His weight loss was documented. His radiation-like symptoms baffled more than a dozen doctors, including specialists at the Mayo Clinic. The Royal Canadian Air Force launched an investigation. So did the RCMP. So did the US Air Force. Nobody could explain what happened. The government eventually sealed the file. The same government, fifty years later, minted his story on a coin. It glows in the dark.

Starting point is 00:00:51 the man waved him back. He said he was burned by a flying saucer and might be radioactive. The officer didn't believe it. Nobody did. Then the scarred. came back and kept coming back for 30 years. He never said the word aliens, not once in all that time.
Starting point is 00:01:09 He just wanted someone to believe him. The government finally took him seriously. And maybe we all should. We've talked about what's happening to the dollar. The debt's past $39 trillion. Stagflation is squeezing people's savings, and nobody in Washington is hitting the brakes. This isn't speculation.
Starting point is 00:01:34 That's the current reality. Now look at what gold and silver did in that environment. Past year, gold up 35%. Silver, up 125%. The stock market pulled around 27%. And the big banks aren't getting quieter about their forecasts.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Bank of America has silver targets at $309 an ounce. Top institutions projecting gold at $6,300. Those are mainstream numbers from mainstream institutions. And here's what a lot of retirement savers still don't realize. You don't have to cash anything out
Starting point is 00:02:07 to get into physical metals. You can roll an existing IRA or 401k directly into gold and silver. No taxes, no penalties. It's a legitimate move, and Golden Crest Meadows specializes in walking people through exactly that. I don't recommend companies lightly. Golden Crest stood out because they gave me straight answers, transparent pricing, and didn't try to push me into anything.

Half a football field away, a disc-shaped craft sat on a rocky clearing.
Starting point is 00:03:20 It was 40 feet across and 15 feet high with a dome on top. It looked like it was made out of aluminum or brushed stainless steel. Whatever it was, Stefan wasn't going near it. So here he was in the middle of the woods, sketching a flying saucer. He wasn't frightened. He was a 51-year-old, Polarer. Polish immigrant who survived a Nazi death camp during World War II. Not much can rattle a man who lives through that.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Sure, the object was weird, but it wasn't scary, it was inconvenient. After a half hour of hiding, Stefan wanted to get back to hunting rocks. We are using the word hunt way to liberally these days. House hunt, rock hunt, Helen hunt, where's the danger? Twister was pretty dangerous. For the cows. You know the scariest hunt of all? What?
Starting point is 00:04:10 Mike. Ugh. Yeah! 90 miles east of Winnipeg is the white shell, a stretch of Canadian wilderness about the size of Rhode Island, and in 1967, it was silver country. Stefan knew that country well. He found white quartz running through the rock, and where there's quartz, there's silver. He was an industrial mechanic by trade, but his real passion was silver.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So on weekends, he hiked the woods with a hammer-rich-chizzle looking for treasure. On Friday, May 19th, he traveled to Falcon Lake and checked into a motel. The next morning, he found a vein of quartz and went to work. The woods were quiet, except for the sound of tapping metal. But at 1215, the geese went crazy. A whole flock flew up off the water at once. Stefan looked up to see what spooked them. Two objects came down out of the sky, glowing red, shaped like cigars.
Starting point is 00:05:09 As they dropped lower, they flattened into discs. One of the objects stopped. It hovered over the trees for a few seconds, then it shot back up into the sky and was gone. The other object kept coming, straight down and slowly settled onto a clearing about 160 feet away. The red glow faded to orange, then to gray, like stainless steel.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Hot metal does this. Steel comes out of a forge, glowing red, and as it cools, it runs through orange on its way back to gray. So whatever just landed on that rock was very, very hot. Stefan stayed hidden behind a rock and just waited and waited. Nothing happened. So he grabbed a pad and pencil and sketched the thing like it was a broken engine he'd been called in to fix.
Starting point is 00:05:55 He got down the shape, the color, the way the air around it bent and shimmered with heat. For a half hour, he drew. Then a door slid open on the side of the craft and light poured out, a color that doesn't even exist on earth. This message is sponsored by Greenland.

It was hard to describe, not quite blue and not quite purple, somewhere in between. and it was bright, brighter than the daylight around it. Stefan was done hiding.
Starting point is 00:08:02 He had to get a closer look. The first thing you noticed was it didn't have legs or wheels. It just balanced there on the bare rock like it weighed nothing. He couldn't see an engine, but the object hummed, a low-frequency hum that he felt more than heard. There were no markings on the object, no flag, no insignia of any kind. And it didn't look like an aircraft at all,
Starting point is 00:08:26 completely round with no weight, no rutter, no cockpit, at least none that he could see. The metal was polished so bright and clean he could see his reflection. What he couldn't see was how the thing was built. There were no seams or rivets, no weld lines. That bothered him more than the lights. He spent his whole life working metal. This was the best metal work he'd ever seen.
Starting point is 00:08:49 The walls looked about a foot and a half thick, but they weren't solid. The metal was worked in a hollow grid pattern. looked like a steel honeycomb. When Stefan reached the door, the light was blinding, but he had protection. Yeah, smart. Probe it before it can probe you. Not that kind of protection.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Are you sure? You just spent five minutes telling us how this guy likes to hammer stuff alone in a woods. Wood, woods. He put his welding goggles on. He brought them to protect his eyes from chipping metal, but they also had a tinted visor. With his shades on,
Starting point is 00:09:24 he leaned in through the doorway. Inside, he saw a wall of lights. Beams ran in horizontal and diagonal patterns. Banks of different color lights blinked in sequences that never repeated. He looked for a button or a switch or anything familiar, but he found nothing. And no pilot seat, no controls. The room was empty, just the lights and that low hum. Then the smell hit him.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Sulfur, ozone, burning electronics. This was the first time Stefan was afraid. of the object, of the air he might be breathing. It was time to go. Then, from somewhere inside the craft, he heard something familiar. Voices. The voices sounded human. There were two of them, one pitched higher than the other, muffled the way conversation sound through a closed door.
Starting point is 00:10:26 He couldn't make out the words, but voices meant a crew, and a crew meant somebody built this thing. Stefan was pretty sure he knew who, and it wasn't aliens. He knew about UFOs from sci-fi magazines, but he didn't think this was a spaceship. He figured it was something classified, an experimental aircraft from the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. and the Soviets were in the middle of a race for space, and both wanted to land on the moon first. The race to the moon, also known as the Sprint to Stanley Soundstage in Burbank. Anyway, when something weird falls out of the sky, your first thought is, the Americans are up to something. But it was almost an hour since the craft came down.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Maybe there was a mechanical failure. Maybe someone was hurt. So he called out to see if they needed any help. He yelled, okay, Yankee boys, having trouble? No reply. Maybe they weren't American. He called out again, this time in Russian. Then German, Italian, French, Ukrainian.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Then back to English one more time. A lifetime of war and exile gave him six ways to say the same thing. I can help. Hey, hey, hey, hey, I do you know how many Germans it takes to change your life? Uh, nine. What? No. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:11:41 He said nine. Exactly, no. Ah, uh... Nine Germans. Are you messing with me, human? Yobel. Never mind, how many Germans does it take to change a light bulb? Zero.
Starting point is 00:11:52 It was engineered probably the first time and does not require changing. So I was right, nine. Uh, one of us is having a stroke right now, but I can't tell which one of us. After Stefan ran through his languages, the voices stopped. And then the thing came alive. A whine started up like an engine and got louder. And the heat came back. Stefan felt like he was in an oven. He still had his heavy welding gloves on, so he reached out to see how hot it really was. And that was a mistake. When his fingers touched the metal, he felt the gloves go soft. He heard a sizzle as the rubber melted onto his
Starting point is 00:12:33 fingers. The door snapped shut. The craft started to rotate, and as it turned, Stefan saw a panel, a grid, a small vent maybe nine inches by six, drilled full of tiny round holes in neat rows. Then the blast. Hot gas shot out of the grid and hit him square in the chest. Then he realized he was on fire. He tore off his shirt and stamped out the flames. And when he looked up, The craft was already off the rock. It rose without a sound. A minute ago, the thing was loud as hell, and now it was dead silent.
Starting point is 00:13:12 He felt a rush of air as it climbed, and then it was gone. Stefan was alone in the clearing. His chest was scorched raw. He had a splitting headache. Then he felt his stomach turn over. He dropped to his knees and threw up. He got up and started walking.
Starting point is 00:13:29 The burns on his chest started to swell into a pattern. He vomited his way out of the flight. forest. He walked, stopped, wretched, and walked again. And the headache came in waves. When he finally made it to the highway, he flagged down a police officer. He told the officer a story. Then the officer said, sorry, but I have other duties to perform. Got back in his car and drove away. Stefan got himself home to Winnipeg that night. When his nine-year-old son walked into the bedroom, the first thing the boy noticed wasn't the burns. It was the smell. Summer always changes the way I I stop reaching for heavy stuff and start looking for clothes that feel lighter, breathable, easy to throw on, but still look put together.
Starting point is 00:14:23 That's honestly why I keep going back to quits. Their clothes feel high end without the crazy markup. Seriously, I shop there any time they need to pick up some new clothing. Their teas are super soft, easy to wear, and the lightweight cotton sweaters are perfect when it cools off at night. But lately, I've been wearing their European linen shirts and linen pants, especially with the heat kicking in. and they start at just $34. Perfect for poolside relaxing or going out for a nice dinner. What I like is that Quince focuses on quality essentials.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Everything's priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman. So you're paying for the actual product, not some giant luxury brand markup. And they don't just do clothing. They've got premium bedding, ceramic cookware, custom upholstered sofas. It's one of those brands where once you try something, you start recommending it to everybody.

Starting point is 00:15:32 The smell hit Stan before anything else. He was nine years old. He walked into his parents' bedroom and the room reeked. It smelled like sulfur in burnt electronics. It wasn't the burns and it wasn't his clothes. The smell was coming out of his father's skin and it lasted for weeks. Stefan was sure he was radioactive. He couldn't keep food down.
Starting point is 00:16:03 He weighed 180 pounds on the morning of the encounter and one week later he weighed 158, 22 pounds gone in seven days. And he kept fainting. He had headaches and blackouts with huge gaps in his memory. His doctor found reddish-raised sores across his upper stomach. and singed hair at his hairline. The pattern on his skin matched the grid on the vent. The undershirt he wore that day had charred holes in the same spots in the same pattern.
Starting point is 00:16:32 And Stefan's blood was affected. His lymphocyte count dropped far below normal. Lymphocytes are a kind of white blood cell, a part of your immune system. Doctors knew a drop like that could come from radiation. A radiologist in the United States said this was typical of whole body radiation exposure. He put the dose at between 100 and 200 wrenchins. A wrenchin is a measure of radiation, and at 400 you usually die. The radiologist wrote that the exposure must have lasted only seconds, any longer, and it would have killed it.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And the burns kept coming back. They healed and returned, healed again, and then came back again. Doctors tried medication after medication, but nothing worked. For the months, they learned the sores returned every 112 days, right on schedule. More than a dozen doctors examined him, in Canada and the United States, and not one of them knew what was wrong. Stefan paid his own way to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, one of the best hospitals on Earth. They ran every test they had, and they came up empty, too.
Starting point is 00:17:41 But they ruled one thing out and it matters. The Mayo Psychiatric Report said, Stefan Mahalik showed no delusion, no hallucination, and they no mental illness of any kind. Whatever happened to him, he was not making it up. And while doctors mapped his symptoms, the Royal Canadian Air Force ran into a problem of its own. Nobody can find the place where it happened.

What landed at Falcon Lake pulled in almost everybody. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police opened a file so that the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Department of Health, and the Department of National Defense. A civilian UFO group sent
Starting point is 00:19:35 an investigator who photographed Stevens Burns three days after the event. And the U.S. Air Force came too. And before it was over, the Falcon Lake case was about 300 pages thick. Five days after the encounter, the Air Force sent its first search party into the white shell. They had Stefan's sketch, his marks on an aerial photo, but they found nothing. So they escalated. They put Stefan in a helicopter and on the ground. Close enough to find rocks he chipped with his own hammer. The site never appeared.
Starting point is 00:20:09 One investigator's whole job was to make it go away. Squadron leader Paul Biskey of the Royal Canadian Air Force. He didn't believe a word of the story. The saucer was nonsense, and the witness was a drunk who hallucinated the whole thing and Biskey came to prove it. And Biskey had one lead. Stefan swore he didn't drink at Falcon Lake, but the motel bartender said he served him five or six beers the night before. So Stefan lied about drinking. Now Biskey needed to prove the man and couldn't say no to a drink. So he ran a test. He took Stefan back to that same bar and offered him a beer. Stefan said no.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Bisky offered him a Ryan Ginger. Stefan said yes. And he said, and he said, and he said, and he said, He drank a few of those, and he loosened up, and out came the stories. That was all Biskey needed. He wrote up his report. Stefan threw himself a private party the night before, and 10 hours later, still drunk or hungover, he hallucinated a flying saucer. Biskie floated a second theory. Stefan got drunk and fell on a hot barbecue grill.
Starting point is 00:21:13 His source was a woman who never came forward. She spent that weekend at Falcon Lake with a man who wasn't her husband, so she preferred to keep quiet. That was the case against Stefan Mahalik, a bar tab, a cheating spouse, and a hunch. A bar tab, a cheating spouse, and a hunch. And that's not a federal case, you know, and that's a country sword. Then on June 25th, the skeptics hit a wrinkle. Stefan found the site himself.
Starting point is 00:21:42 He led the search party straight to it, 50 yards from where the search teams had already looked, there it was. Everything was still there. ring of dirt and pine needles around the rim, the investigators collected soil, rock, and vegetation from the area, and the samples went to the RCMP crime lab in Ottawa. When the results came back, the tone of the file changed. There was radium 226 in the soil. That's the stuff that made old watch dials glow in the dark. There was so much radium, the lab called it a serious health hazard, and they recommended closing the whole area down. So Biskies hunch fell apart. When he finally wrote his report, the Air Force's chief skeptic put three things on the record he couldn't make go away.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Stefan's illness, Stefan's Burns, the circle and the rock. And he used one word for all three. Unexplainable. But in a crack in that same rock, two inches under moss was some evidence, some very important evidence, that everybody seemed to miss. One year later, almost to the day, Stefan Mahalik went back to the rock. He worked along the landing circle and in a fissure under the moss, he found two bars of metal. The lab took them apart. One bar was 93% silver, the other 96, and both were covered in crush uranium. They were radioactive. Remember, this was the most searched patch of rock in Canada.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Police, military, radiation officers, civilians, all of them combed that circle for a year and found nothing. Either the bars appeared sometime that year or every search team in two countries walked right over them. Even Biskie, the man who first thought it was a hoax, had to admit this was strange. He sent a teletype to headquarters. Should this be a hoax, someone is going to considerable effort to perpetrate saying. A translation from debunkeries.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I came here to call him a liar and now I need a drink. While the labs worked, the government closed ranks. When Manitoba MP Edward Shrier raised Falcon Lake in the House of Commons, the Speaker cut him off. And when Parliament finally let one MP see the file, pages had already been pulled. They said full release would not be in the public interest. That silenced MP went on to become Governor General of Canada. The government's own representative once asked his government about Falcon Lake and his government refused to answer. Stefan didn't care what the craft was.
Starting point is 00:24:24 He just wanted a diagnosis. Months after Mayo, he still had no results. And he carried the case the rest of his life. The burns came back for years. The scars stayed under his skin for decades. He died in 1999 and 83 and he never recanted, never embellished, never changed a word. And in 2018, the same government that sealed his file put the Falcon Lake UFO incident on a coin, silver, of course, and it glows in the dark.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Steva Mahalik walked into the white shell looking for silver, and 50 years later, his government minted his story in it. So that's Falcon Lake, a mechanic walked into the woods, came out burned and carried marks no doctor could explain. Great story, but did it really happen this way? We'll start with the famous burns. The neat grid of dots from the photos shows up in January 19, 1868, eight months after the encounter.
Starting point is 00:25:34 The doctor who saw him the day after described something else. Irregular, blotchy, unevenly spaced burns. And when the grid finally did appear, a male psychiatrist called it obviously factitial. What was that mean? Fake. The burns were self-inflicted. Burning a game of Kinect IV onto your belly every few months. Now that's how you commit to a bit. The radiation has an explanation too.
Starting point is 00:26:00 The white shell is naturally rich in uranium, and the soils radium could have come from a natural vein. The silver bars make the story worse. Their makeup matches commercial sterling, not raw silver, right down to the copper and cadmium that make up the alloy, and they were coated in foundry sand. They surfaced a full year later at a site dozens of people could reach. After the pros had searched it and found nothing, investigators are pretty sure that metal was placed there. Then the awkward details. A fire watchtower overlooked the area, and the Ranger on duty saw nothing. The leading skeptics of the day called Falcon Lake, a badly executed hoax.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Case closed, except for everything else. He really did lose 22 pounds in a week. That's almost impossible unless you're really sick. The burns were real, and no one ever disputed that. A doctor documented first-degree burns the day after, a charred undershirt that matched the wound. You can still see the shirt. It's on display at the University of Manitoba. The Louvah's got the Mona Lisa.
Starting point is 00:27:06 The Manitoba's got a burnt under shirt. Check out. If he faked the grid in 1968, nobody ever explained the burns of 1967. Well, then follow the money. Well, you can't because there isn't any. Oh, he didn't write a book. Well, he wrote a booklet.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah, it's always a book. Yeah, but the booklet lost money. It was something he gave to people for free. He gave it to them who wanted to hear his story. He was so sick of telling it, he would just give him the booklet and say, read this. And the Mayo Clinic? He paid for that himself, and that's not cheap.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Biskey, the man who wanted him to be a liar, called the whole case unexplainable. The Department of National Defense admitted it was unable to provide evidence which would dispute Mahalik's story. And then the Condon Committee, a U.S. study built to close UFO cases. They filed Falcon Lake as unexplained.
Starting point is 00:28:00 They even added a line you almost never see in an official report. If the encounter was real, it would show the existence of alien flying vehicles in our environment. If Falcon Lake was a hoax, a 51-year-old mechanic burned his own chest, starved off 22 pounds, fooled a dozen doctors and a Mayo psychiatrist. Look, if it was real, something landed on that rock that we still can't name. The case is still unsolved. unsolved. But here's the part that bothers me. Stripped away the saucer and Falcon Lake is about a man who told the truth as he knew it to the military, to doctors, to the government, and he got a
Starting point is 00:28:41 door slammed in his face every single time. The first human being he met after the worst hour of his life, listened to his story, heard his story, and drove away. And that wasn't just a civilian, that was an RCMP officer, trained and sworn to help people. He refused to help. Stefan never asked anyone to believe in flying saucers. He only asked people to believe him. And that's one of the hardest, bravest things you can do. Tell the truth no matter what it costs and refuse to take it back. Most of us will never meet a man burned from a flying saucer.
Starting point is 00:29:17 But all of us will meet somebody someday carrying a story that sounds impossible. And maybe they're wrong. Maybe they're confused. Maybe not. Maybe they're on the highway, like Stefan was, asking, you to stop. You don't have to believe the story, but you should try to believe the person standing in front of you, hurt, begging for help. And when that happens, you have only one option. You stop the car. Thank you so much for hanging out today. My name is AJ. That's

And speaking of 24-7, check out our 24-7 live stream on the Wi-Files backstage. Over there, we were on episodes back-to-back with some fun, unique content in between.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And actually, the live chat is more entertaining than the videos. And here's a secret I'm not supposed to tell. All the members-only videos on the main channel, I usually post over there for everybody to see. Don't tell anyone like that. Special thanks for our patrons who make this channel possible. Every episode of the Y-Files is dedicated to our Patreon members. I couldn't have done any of this without you and still couldn't do this without your support. So thank you. And if you'd like to support the channel,
Starting point is 00:32:09 keep us going and join our community, become a member on Patreon. For as little as $3 a month, to get access to perks like seeing videos early with no commercials, exclusive merch, and two private live streams every week just for you. And the whole Waphouse team is on the stream. And you can turn on your camera, jump up on stage, ask a question. Do you want to talk more about a topic, recommend a topic, tell a joke, or just chat. It's a good way to get to know us as people and I think it's the best perk there is. Another great way to support the channel is grab something from the White Bough store. I grab a heck of a t-shirt and one of these fists that will help me like.
Starting point is 00:32:43 You can stick your fist in, your alien fist, your German fist, or whatever fish you want to put in there? Put a French fist in it up in there. This is what I could say. Okay, I'll get one of these hoodies. Set my face on it. Okay, one of these adorable squeacy. All I taste of my hot sex is when I see it. Adorable stick.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Heck of this turkey fish dog. But if you're gonna buy merch, make sure you become a member on YouTube. YouTube members get 10% off everything in the White Biles score forever, and it's only $3. So if you're gonna spend 40 bucks on the store on vestibule mugs or t-shirts or... I'm just gonna say Crabt Whiskey. I don't know if you can do the discount on those. Oh, you didn't know who's a whiskey? I don't think I was supposed to say.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Well, I'm leaving it. Anyway, if you're gonna spend $40 at the store, become a member of a new. YouTube. It pays for itself. And if you want to cancel after you get your discount, that's cool. The code is not there to make me money. It's there to save new money. Besides, I don't keep that revenue anyway. It goes all to the team. Ah, we keep that secret course you do us something. Those are the plugs, I think. I've missed a few. I get them next time. Speaking of, until next time, be safe. Be kind and know that you are appreciated.
Starting point is 00:34:21 A secret code inside the Bible said I would. I love my UFOs and paranormal fun as well as music. So I'm singing like I should. And it never ends. No, it never ends. Oh, with M.K. Ultra, being only two away. And Le Cuevrick fake the moon land. Were the shadow people.

Starting point is 00:38:02 This is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different, locked in, loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo.
Starting point is 00:38:21 So, are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising. You're among fans. Hey, y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder, what if?
