2018 $20 Canada's Unexplained Phenomena - The Falcon Lake Incident Fine Silver (No Tax)

The Falcon Lake Incident is one of Canada's most well known UFO encounters, and a fascinating mystery that is still unexplained! With an unusually shaped contour that hints at an otherworldly theme, this ovoid coin recounts the Falcon Lake Incident in vivid colour, with black- light activated features that add a preternatural glow to the unknown craft.

It is one of Canada's most famous UFO encounters! According to Stefan Michalak's account, two glowing objects descended from the sky on May 20, 1967, near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, where one landed close enough for him to approach. When the craft suddenly took flight, its emission set Michalak's clothes ablaze, leaving him with mysterious burns… and an unusual tale to tell. Your coin's otherworldly shape is the perfect fit for such a story as the colourful coin captures the imagination as it recounts the Falcon Lake Incident, with black light-activated features to add a glow to the craft and the blast that knocked Michalak to the ground!
