Hey guys, here in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania
you can see a large weird object placed on
top of a metal platform near the town's fire
station.
Just below it is a sign that says Kecksburg
UFO, December 9, 1965.
This is a mock-up of the UFO and is referred
to as the space acorn by locals.
What's the story behind this?
Did a UFO really land here?
Here is a newspaper that says "Residents:
UFO landing was a hoax."
It was published in 1990 by Lodi News Sentinel
operating out of California.
But is it really a hoax?
To understand the real story, we should find
newspapers that were published the day after
this happened.
Here is what you find on December 10, 1965:
Front page of Chicago Tribune says "Ball of
Fire Sighted in Sky, Shredded foil strips
found in woods "
Another daily from Pennsylvania says "Army
Ropes off Area, Unidentified Flying Object
falls near Kecksburg "
"U.F.O starts many fires" says this newspaper.
Now, these are just a few examples of what
really happened that day; there are many more
newspapers that published similar pieces.
The impact was even registered on a seismograph
in Detroit which is about 300 miles away.
So something definitely crashed in this town.
There is no question about that.
This is what I could gather.
A weird flying object described as an orange
ball of fire was seen moving across the night
sky.
People from multiple states witnessed this,
and it was even seen as far as Toronto, Canada.
It fell in the wooded area of Kecksburg.
A few people even saw this object after it
crashed, they describe it as a bronze colored
metallic object with no screws or seams.
It was about 12 feet tall and 25 feet in diameter
and it looked a large acorn.
It also had strange writings on it, similar
to Egyptian hieroglyphs.
So, they immediately call the police.
The police arrive and after looking at this,
they immediately call the army.
Within an hour, a team of 100 guys come in
and they seal off the area and make sure the
public cannot see what is going on.
Reports say, they took this large object in
a flatbed trailer covered in tarpaulin.
So what is this mysterious acorn?
Could this be a meteor?
After all, many newspapers called it a ball
of fire, which is how a meteor looks.
I will tell you why it can't be a meteorite.
Why would the authorities take away a meteorite
with such secrecy?
Why is not even a single photograph, released
to the public?
Do meteors move in zigzag fashion and slow
down before reaching the surface?
You can see meteorites even in Museums, so
it can't be top secret material.
So if it is not a meteorite, could it be a
man-made spacecraft?
Note the similarity between the Nazi bell
and the Kecksburg acorn.
Did surviving Nazis use it for flying and
crash land here?
But, remember this happened 50 years ago,
so this information would no longer be classified
and would have been released to the public.
This logic applies if this was a Russian or
even an American spaceship.
So, if something definitely landed here, and
if it is not a meteorite or a man-made craft,
what else could it be?
Is it an alien spaceship?
This is the question asked by a lot of Ufologists.
So, they sue NASA in 2003, to release the
records.
NASA released this document soon after with
an interesting first page.
It says "we regret to inform you that we cannot
locate the two boxes of records.
The boxes are identified as missing since
1987."
Some people call this a cover up and some
people point out that other records have been
lost before.
No matter what is true, we don't have any
real record of what landed in Kecksburg.
So, did extraterrestrials land here?
What do you think?
