UFO sightings in this
area have been rampant.
As I said earlier, it's a
very high volume of reports.
Even all the way up to
Kecksburg in the 1960s.
a time when the residents of
Kecksburg felt far removed from
the tension of the Cold War
and obsession over UFOs.
While the televisions, movie
theaters and drive-ins were
full of nuclear wars or
countered by fantastical aliens
and flying saucers, this
tiny burg remained blissfully
detached from the near
hysteria that was gripping
other areas of the country.
In late 1965, that sense of
security would be shattered.
(dark atmospheric tones)
I'll remember it all my life.
It's something
I'll never forget.
That night, we was actually
out playing football,
and we didn't actually know
in the house and Mom and Dad
said that there was a thing on
the radio that something
crashed in Acme.
My mom looked out the window
and she seen all the vehicles
and stuff on the
road, she says, well,
house, that ain't in Acme.
I remember that evening
just like it was yesterday.
It was a Thursday evening,
December 9th, 1965.
I was listening to a radio
station in Pittsburgh.
There was a breaking news
story coming on the radio
about this brilliant fireball,
this fire object was seen
from the tip on Ontario,
Canada over Michigan, Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
[Narrator] That night, a
radiant fireball was seen
streaking through the
skies over Detroit
and Windsor, Ontario, moving
in a southeasterly direction,
allegedly dropping hot
metal debris over Michigan
and Northern Ohio before hitting
the ground near Kecksburg.
All sorts of explanations
were proposed.
Some thought they were
witnessing an airplane accident.
Others thought a missile
test had gone awry
or that a satellite was
re-entering the atmosphere.
The most common assumption
was that a meteor was
the brilliant light in question.
None of those, however,
seemed to square
with what was happening
near the Chestnut Ridge.
Local witnesses reported
feeling the impact
of the object's crash landing,
seeing a wisp of blue smoke
rising from the woods,
and some even claimed
to discover what it was
that had fallen to Earth.
An object shaped like an acorn,
approximately the
size of a small car,
with hieroglyphic-like
writing around its base.
quickly became the center
of curiosity and controversy.
And it got more exciting
during the evening as reports
were coming in that the
military was now arriving in the
Kecksburg area to search for
an unidentified flying object.
