Paranormal event with PROOF

[@gavelston3943]

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.

[@marcuz8278]

That’s a good idea actually

[@csabavarga8273]

So you go back in time to that exact location, and you start looking around and waiting for the UFOs to arrive, but nothing happens, so you decide to land with your timemachine on this tiny rock face to look around. 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.

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 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.

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.

This story is extremely significant for me, and I didn't even realize it until part way through this episode. I had a Ripley's Believe it or not book around 2002 when I was a kid, and I distinctly remember that picture of the man lying down with his chest exposed and the grid pattern of burns and that book was what first got me interested in the unexplained, but I have no idea where it is since I've moved several times since then.

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.

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.

After a good story I sometimes catch myself and think how amazing it is that our brain makes it into something that we can almost "see". I felt like I was watching Stefan approach the spacecraft it's kind of weird but amazing.

You are probably the first and only KZbinr who managed to make his audience actually enjoy the AD parts and not skip them 😂😂😂😂 that is some top tier talent.

[@mordie31]

I would have to say that the only time I *don't* feel like I'm wasting my time on KZbin is when I'm watching MrBallen. His videos have helped me through some tough times; both by realising I don't have it so bad, and by helping me take my mind of the physical and mental pain of what I went through. God bless you MrBallen!

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.

What about FLORIDA MAN?

[@racookster]

Yeah, I was subscribed to him for a few months, but he did a long series of stories about horrible murders and accidents, and bad things happening to good people started to get to me. Finally, one about a person being trapped in a cave gave me such a nasty attack of claustrophobia, I couldn't breathe and I unsubscribed. I love the way he tells stories, and his videos still appear in my feed, so when I see a paranormal one, I click on it. They don't typically have sad endings, and even if they do, I can take them as maybe fiction, maybe not.

[@JadedBelle]

@@racookster Interesting. I unsubbed for the same reasons. I was all in while he was telling the bigfoot, ghost and weird stories. But when he went to serial killers and horrific murders, I unsubbed.

In 1967 I was camping in Canada with my family. I was a kid and I still remember the remote areas we were in around BC. Thank God this man was able to get to help. If not it could have been years before he was found if ever.

[@kathymisuraca5047]

I lived at the base of a mountain in BC when I was a little kid. Grizzlies going through the trash all the time, a roaring creek behind the cabin. One toe in it and I would have been gone The wildest thing I remember was a man banging on the door for hours and nothing but my mom's butcher knife to protect us. The banging finally stopped when the sun came up. A couple days later some mountains rode up and asked my mom if she'd seen a man and she told them what we heard. They said a man had escaped from the mental hospital north of us and he was very dangerous. A couple of days later they stopped by to tell my mom the man was captured after he broke into a resort and killed a man and woman.
