Summary

Langenburg, SK - Sept 1974 Saskatchewan farmer named Edwin Fuhr claimed to have witnessed something extraordinary—five metallic, saucer-shaped objects hovering over his field. As he watched in stunned silence, the objects spun rapidly, emitted a grey vapor, and then shot off into the sky without making a sound. What remained were five mysterious circular imprints in the grass—physical evidence that even an RCMP investigation couldn’t explain. Nearly 50 years later, the Langenburg UFO incident remains one of Canada’s most compelling unexplained encounters. What did Fuhr really see that September morning? In this episode we are joined by Canadian UFO researcher and writer Chris Rutkowski to explore the sighting, the investigation, and the broader implications on UFO history.
