... A claimed visit to the site by Mr. A and another associate a year after the alleged sighting, at which time they discovered massive pieces of radioactive material in a fissure of the rock within the "landing circle." This material reportedly consisted of two W-shaped bars of metal, each about 4.5 in. long, and several smaller pieces of irregular shape. These items were said to have been found about 2 in. below a layer of lichen in the rock fissure. They were later analyzed as nearly pure silver. The results of the analyses of these pieces of metal were sent to the Colorado Project by Dr. Peter M. Millman of the National Research Council of Canada. The analysis of the report by Mr. R. J. Traill (Head, Minerology Section, NRC) showed that the two fragments each consisted of a cental massive metal portion which was not radioactive. One of these was 93% and the other 96% silver. Both contained copper and cadmium, and had a composition similar to that found in commercially available sterling silver or sheet silver. The metal was coated with a tightly-adhering layer of quartz sand, similar to that used as a foundry sand. This also was not radioactive.
The radioactivity was contained in a loosely-adhering layer of fine-grained minerals containing uranium. This layer could be removed readily by washing and brushing. The minerals were uranophane and thorium-free pitchblende, characteristically found in vain deposits.
Mr Traill's conclusion was:
I would interpret the specimens as pieces of thin sheet silver that have been twisted, crumpled, partly melted, and dropped into, or otherwise placed in contact with, nearly pure quartz sand, while still hot. They have subsequently been covered with loosely-adhering radioactive material which consists of crushed pitchblende ore, much altered to uranophane and containing associated hematite. These naturally-occuring radioactive minerals are found typically in the uraniferous deposits of . . . [River x] area and in parts of . . . [camp X].
In view of the thoroughness of earlier searches of the site for radioactive material, it is improbable that the particles discovered a year later would have been missed had they been present when the earlier searches were made.
Conclusions:
If Mr. A's reported experience were physically real, it would show the existence of alien flying vehicles in our environment. Attempts to establish the reality of the event revealed many inconsistencies and incongruities in the case, a number of which are described in this report. Developments subsequent to the field investigation have not altered the initial conclusion that this case does not offer probative information regarding unconventional craft.

Consolidating the Official RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) reports….
The initial RCMP report interview with Stephan Michalak - May 24 1967
1st RCMP report - Stephan Michalak
The follow up report by the RCMP - May 26 1967
2nd RCMP report - Stephan Michalak
The Final RCMP report - June 26 1967
3rd RCMP Report - Stephan Michalak
Note: Other Official RCMP reports related to Stephan Michalak may or may not exist.
Note: For prosperity purposes, I recommend these PDF reports be saved on to your local drive. Access may be denied in the future.
I’m not sure about Canadian law…..hence I don’t know if all RCMP reports, or portions thereof, are considered legally “Sworn” and or “Under Oath” statements….in reference to the timeframe from when the reports were originally written.

There are certainly some elements of truth to the story. There is usually in any story of this type. But what we really don't know is that if this was all a hoax, then why did Michalak do it?

Indeed. It would be very interesting to know of Michalak's years thereafter, well up until he passed on from this realm. His story, his life, as it played out. Of course, at best, he was off the radar, so to speak, in the decades thereafter, but it would be interesting to know his life course and if there were any punctuations to it.
What happened in the Whiteshell Forest near Falcon Lake on May 20, 1967? For the first time in 50 years, the many facets of this astonishing tale finally come together. Noted UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski opens his vault of documents and images, gathered over several decades of inquiry, and presents a comprehensive picture of what became the most investigated UFO case in Canadian History. Stan Michalak, son of the man at the centre of this story, offers an inside perspective of what was happening in the Michalak home immediately following his father's extraordinary encounter. Join him as he eavesdrops on the daily struggles of his family while they deal with his father's injuries and the endless stream of investigators and media. Released after years of planning, this once-in-a-lifetime book describes every aspect of what happened "when they appeared."
Who knows if this is real but it's darned unlikely he would have burned himself that many times. As to what he saw??? Please explain how you generate lift without a working fluid or a gas turbine? They were working on nuclear jet engines around that time so maybe that would explain the bright light and gamma rays but they didn't as yet have very good control theory or microcomputer control.
and
The ‘fall out’ from his experience was life long, for both himself and his family. A detailed, powerful and evocative exploration of a compelling UFO close encounter, and its myriad ‘after-effects’— not the least of which, a whole spectrum of uninvited ‘visitors’!
“Another possibility is that Michalak had a real encounter with something, but someone else decided to improve the evidence so that the case seemed better. Given the number of people involved in both the military and civilian investigations, this is much more likely than a solo hoax attempt on Michalak's part. The problem is in the elimination of suspects.”

I don't think further picking at this case will answer many more of our questions.Not on this forum anyway.
But until I watched this very old show and then started doing a bit of digging, I was totally unaware of how well documented a case this was. And also the lengthy investigations by various authorities.
This seems unprecedented for a single witness case with no other corroborating evidence. Except for that radiation!

So the alternative is that Michalak was hallucinating about the craft, or he created the story for reasons unknown. The nature of his burns remaining another mystery.

I just can't let go of thinking that vein of radioactive pitchblende? played a part in Stefan's chest burns....
"...his clothes and blood were checked for radiation and found to be negative"...
