UFO fans from all over Poland meet today in the locality of Emilcin near Opole Lubelskie at an "Ufological Picnic", on the 30th anniversary of one of the most famous unexplained encounters in Poland and one of the best documented alien abductions in Europe.
In the early morning of May 10, 1978, as local farmer Jan Wolski was driving his cart through the neighbouring woods, he met two strange beings and was invited by them into a curious white craft hovering above the ground where he was subjected to some sort of examination. When he arrived home he recounted his experiences to his wife and family.
His son and some neighbours confirmed that trampled grass and other traces had been found in the place where Wolski said he had been abducted. A boy in the village had also seen a flying “white object”.
Jan Wolski died in 1990 at the age of 82.
This weekend’s events in Emilcin include the presentation of a documentary film on the incident, discussions with UFO specialists and a reconstruction of the “Emilcin incident”.
