2024 $20 Fine Silver Coin Unexplained Phenomena The Langenburg Event
Black light NOT included. Some crop circles are harder to dismiss. And that’s what makes Saskatchewan’s most famous UFO/UAP incident so intriguing! Viewed from the witness’s perspective, the Langenburg Event is the seventh unusual encounter re-told as part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s popular Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena series of coins. On the morning of September 1st, 1974, a farmer was swathing his fields near the town of Langenburg, Saskatchewan, when he noticed five highly polished, steel-like objects at the edge of a slough. Upon closer look, he noticed these unusual saucer-shaped objects were rotating rapidly and hovering just above the ground. He continued to observe them until they suddenly rose up, emitting a strange vapour as they silently disappeared into the sky. But the objects hadn’t vanished without a trace; according to the RCMP incident report, they left behind “five different distinct circles, caused by something exerting what had to be heavy air or exhaust pressure over the highgrass, ” which was curious enough to warrant serious attention both locally and worldwide.
