  "This article examines one of the most talked about and controversial UFO incidents, involving the apparent crash of what has been termed a meteorite by some and an alien craft by others, near Kecksburg, Pennsylvania on December 9, 1965. The object was first seen streaking across the sky, with thousands from Michigan to New York witnessing a brilliant ball of fire which left a smoke trail, visible for about 20 minutes after it passed."

Regarding "Kecksburg Crash" - Latest First

Photos show Kecksburg fireball was a meteor Michigan State Univ. astronomers used photos, 100 eyewitness reports and seismic recording of sonic boom to find the path, which fell steeply over SW Ontario toward the NE. They found an orbit to the asteroid belt, source of many bright meteors. Speed was twice that of returning space debris. See: Vol 61, no 4, Journal of Royal Ast. Soc. of Canada. All 1965 published and broadcast accounts can be explained by the meteor, searches for its debris and a prank by teenagers who flashed camera strobe, creating "blue lights". See my chapter, "Old Solved Mysteries: The Kecksburg Incident" in THE UFO INVASION, Prometheus Books, 1997. -- Bob Young (Youngbob2@aol.com ) 4/27/99 (#4)

The Kecksburg Incident While completeing a TV class at W.C.C.C we produced a 20 minute presentation on the Kecksburg UFO entitled the Kecksburg Incident. At this time we were given the priveledge of interviewing Mr. Gordon as well as a family member of a witness, and one thing that struck me was the fact that the story told by the family member was identical to the one told by Mr. Gordon. -- Bob 2/17/99 (#2)

Hey I live in Kecksburg just a few miles from where what ever landed. My Dad saw it across the sky. my uncle watched a truck go in with nothing and come out with something under a sheet.. I know of people that have never said a word because amny think they were paid off. -- Kechsburgian 2/8/99 (#1)
