Tonight's show will be a special treat for those listeners who've
been patiently awaiting a revamping of our coverage of the
Kecksburg UFO incident. Those unfamiliar with the case but
entertain a curiosity with mysterious, non-organic objects
falling from our skies meeting an equally mysterious fate will
also find this episode fascinating. In the late afternoon
of December 9, 1965, thousands of citizens watched as a large,
fiery object streaked through the skies over at least six to
eight U.S. States and Ontario, Canada. Many who observed
its unusually slow path claimed it seemed to be under
"intelligent control." While astronomers continued to
assume it was merely a meteor bolide entering Earth's atmosphere,
some type of craft crash-landed in the woods near the town of
Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. Local eye-witnesses and First
Responders who descended onto the scene described the object as
looking like a giant acorn, large enough for a human to stand in,
and encircling a band near its base were strange markings some
likened to Egyptian hieroglyphs. Uncharacteristically for
something as natural as a meteor landing, military authorities,
purported NASA personnel, and State troopers immediately arrived
and cordoned off the crash site and shooed away onlookers.
The object was loaded onto a flatbed truck along with multiple
unknown containers, tarped and hauled away to some government
facility, which would be the last time any unauthorized civilian
would see it. This was before initial reports that the U.S.
Air Force and State troopers found "absolutely nothing" during
their search. There have since been speculations that the
craft was a downed Soviet space probe called Kosmos 96, or
perhaps a General Electric Mark 2 Re-entry Vehicle. While
we could've revisited the story with just these oft-told elements
and our own speculations, we thought it was best to wait
patiently to speak to an authority who's studied the case for
decades for some much-needed insight. We're finally
fortunate enough to talk with Stan Gordon, a paranormal
investigator from the area who's researched the Kecksburg crash
since his teens, and has tracked all of the associated High
Strangeness that has followed. Also joining the
conversation is Stan's friend Ron Struble, a witness to the
original incident as a Kecksburg Volunteer Firefighter.
This a discussion that not only examines a plausible scenario
through reported facts but one that has altered our assessment of
one of the most well-documented cases in UFOlogy, one that has
become known as "Pennsylvania's Roswell."
