The residents would name this UFO, Charlie Red Star, and would characterize the UFO as one that made "beer runs."
Many of Manitoba's residents would claim to see Charlie numerous times. He would have encounters with pilots, with RCMP officers. He would be chased by the average citizen, and there is one dramatic...2020-12-291h 49
