The 1978 Emilcin incident is considered one of the best-documented UFO cases in Polish history.
Jan Wolski claimed he met two 'humanoid' beings with olive-colored skin who spoke in an unrecognizable language.
The monument was erected in 2005, significantly later than the date of the alleged encounter.
Ufologists and researchers often refer to the site as the 'Polish Roswell'.
Local investigations in the late 70s by ufologist Zbigniew Blania-Bolnar collected eyewitness accounts from children who allegedly saw the craft.
The monument's design includes a stylized representation of the object described by the witness.
The UFO Monument in Emilcin is the only memorial in Poland dedicated to an alleged alien abduction incident. It commemorates the 1978 encounter of local farmer Jan Wolski, who claimed to have been taken aboard an extraterrestrial craft. The monument consists of a stone pedestal featuring an engraved depiction of the event and a plaque explaining the encounter. It serves as a pilgrimage site for ufology enthusiasts and curious travelers interested in Polish fringe history. The installation is located in the rural village of Emilcin in the Opole Lubelskie County. It is publicly accessible and situated in an open, grassy area maintained by the local community.
