Episode 25: Men In Black In Manitoba

More than 50 years ago, a man from Manitoba had an out-of-this-world experience in the woods near Falcon Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park. For the last five decades, many people have tried to explain what happened out there in the forest to Stefan Michalak, including the RCMP, Canadian Forces, and UFOlogists, but have been unable to solve the mystery. This is the story of Stefan Michalak and the Falcon Lake UFO sighting.
