Product Overview

The fascination with UFOs and unexplained phenomena is featured on this 2022 $20 Yukon Encounter fine silver coin, which transforms as select elements of the full-colour image luminesce with the included black light flashlight. This is the fifth coin in an ongoing annual series, with previous issues selling out immediately and becoming extremely difficult to obtain in the secondary market.

On the night of December 11, 1996, at least 31 people in four different areas of the Yukon reported seeing a UFO in the sky. The bright lights described by the witnesses have been re-created on this rectangular coin when viewed under natural light, but greater details—of a circular craft as envisioned by artist Neil Hamelin—are revealed once you turn on the included black light.

About the Event
On December 11, 1996 an incredible UFO event took place along a 216-kilometre stretch of the Klondike Highway in the Yukon Territory. The sightings occurred in three major areas along the highway: Fox Lake, the village of Carmacks, and the village of Pelly Crossing, with a total of 31 witnesses reporting to have seen it. All the witnesses indicated that the it was extremely large with a long row of lights, comparing it in size to a football stadium. Twenty-two of the witnesses provided detailed accounts, and 14 even provided drawings of the UFO.
