The Langenburg Event, one of Saskatchewan’s most famous encounters with unidentified flying objects, is being commemorated with a collector coin by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Langenburg area farmer Edwin Fuhr was swathing his fields on Sept. 1, 1974, when the then 36-year-old saw five highly polished, disc-shaped objects at the edge of a nearby swamp, according to historical records of the event on the town’s history webpage.
