Zigmund Adamski was an English coal miner who disappeared in June 1980. Five days later, he was found on top of a ten-foot high pile of coal twenty miles from his home. He was wearing a suit, but his shirt, watch, and wallet were missing. I've also heard that his outfit was put on haphazardly as if the person who did it didn't know what went where. He had mysterious burns on his head, neck, and shoulders in a ring-like pattern that had been treated with a strange, unidentified ointment (described by one of the cops, Alan Godfrey, as a yellowy/green substance).

Even though he had been missing for five days, the coroner found that his beard only had one day's worth of growth and his hair was cut. His eyes were wide open and his face frozen in fear. His suit was completely clean despite being on top of a pile of coal, leading investigators to believe that he was placed there. The coroner concluded that he died of a heart attack but couldn't determine where he'd been beforehand. Alan Godfrey, the cop I mentioned earlier, had a UFO encounter months after Zigmund's body was discovered in an area only a mile from where he was found. They've never discovered what exactly happened to Zigmund.
