Late on the afternoon of December 9, 1965, a brilliant fireball lit up the skies over Ontario, and several states. When the object passed over the Pittsburgh, PA. area, the phone lines were jammed at the news media outlets as observers were calling in to find out what the object was. That object reportedly fell into a wooded area about 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, near the village of Kecksburg in Westmoreland County. It is now known that a number of witnesses went down into the wooded ravine that day, and say they saw a large metallic acorn shaped device with strange markings, semi-buried in the ground.

The events that evening took on more interest as military personnel and equipment descended on that small rural community, and cordoned off the area to search for the object. Late that night, a large military flat bed tractor trailer truck was observed hauling a large covered object away from that area at a high rate of speed. The official explanation the next day was that nothing had been found, that witnesses had only seen a bright meteor in the sky.

Researcher Stan Gordon of Greensburg, has been pursuing the case since it occurred in 1965. Nearly 41 years later, Gordon is still investigating the matter,and he continues to obtain new details. Stan Gordon will be presenting an illustrated lecture on the Kecksburg UFO crash incident, and he will discuss the latest findings on this mystery,which has attracted worldwide interest.

This event will take place on October 9, 2006, at 7:00 P.M. at the Morris Township Community Center at Nineveh, PA in Greene County. After the lecture, the audience is invited to participate in a question & answer session about the Kecksburg UFO or other statewide UFO cases, or other mysterious events which Gordon has also investigated.

General admission is $6, and proceeds will benefit local environmental projects. Seating is limited, and refreshments will be available.
