Saskatchewan UFO sighting commemorated with silver coin [Video]

Perhaps Saskatchewan’s most famous encounter with Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP/UFO) – “The Langenburg Event” is now being immortalised in the form of a collective coin.

On the morning of Sept. 1, 1974, Langenburg area farmer Edwin Fuhr was swathing on his land when he witnessed an incredible scene – five saucer-shaped objects on the edge of a nearby slough.

Believing someone was playing a prank on him, Fuhr left his swather to get a closer look, being sure to keep his distance.

According to the Town of Langenburg’s website, Fuhr recalled that the saucers were floating a foot off the ground and rotating at a high rate of speed.

Going back to his swather, Fuhr noticed it would not start. Too scared to move, Fuhr continued to watch the mysterious saucers as they hovered.
