Don’t Touch the UFO
In May 1967, a geologist named Stephen Michalak walked in the woods near Falcon Lake, Manitoba. Canadians might recognize this area as a kind of resort town. It has golf courses and fishing lodges, but it is also very close to the border with the United States, and there are long stretches of wildland nearby. So Michalak decided that he might like to walk in those woods.
Rockhounds are lapidarist's or gemstone collectors to find interesting rocks. Of course, he was also looking for gold in the area, but on that particular day, he just wanted to see the day he just wanted to find some interesting stones and minerals.
But something caught his eyes in the sky; it was a red-colored orange light cigar shape UFO, and it was flying through the air. This is precisely what happened to Mike Hornbrook, visiting his parents in Colorado, when he spotted two red cigar-shaped UFOs flying in the sky.
His first thought was that they were jets from the Canadian Air Force’s nearby base at Gypsum Ville. But this couldn’t be right, he decided, because the objects were flying in a zig-zag pattern and making a whining sound. He then tried to take a picture of it with his camera, but it wasn’t working correctly. So finally, he had a notebook and sketched it.
Once he got closer, the UFOs stopped hovering over him. It landed about 100 yards away from him…
