Everyone knows about the crash at Roswell, New Mexico but it case you were off world for a while, here is what happened. There was a crash of an object in Roswell in July, 1947. The military says it was a weather balloon but many people insist it was an alien craft and bodies were recovered including at least one that was still alive.

Eighteen years later on December 9, 1965 there was another significant crash of an object. This crash took place at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. The government claims that a meteorite crashed in the area. The event could be seen from several states away. Onlookers state that the object was not a meteorite because it had changed direction on several occasions before striking the earth and even changed its shape. There are those that state that they were able to get close to the object and it was copper colored and the general shape of an acorn. The exterior had strange markings on it that seemed to be writing of some sort.

The military arrived and after examining the object they loaded the object on to a truck and drove away. So say they took it to Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

The following article is courtesy http://www.burlingtonnews.net/kerksburgufo.html I have no way to verify the truthfulness of any statements contained therein but it does make one think.

Information I received from Stan Gordon. Mike Orrell and other on the site witnesses shows strong evidence of a UFO Crash in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania over 33 years ago.

40 miles from Pittsburgh, many people first observed a brilliant object moving across the sky. Police authorities, newspapers, radio and television stations around the Pittsburgh area had their telephone lines jammed with call in on UFO reports. Witnesses saw the object go down into the woods. Moments later a blue smoke rose up among the trees where the UFO crashed. Within hours after the reported landing or 'crash', members of the Army and Air Force arrived on the scene, cordoning the area off from spectators, proceeding to investigate. During that time neither reporters or civilians were able to get near the location of the crash. Hundreds of spectators looked on from a narrow country road observing the military at work. Those that were brave enough to go in the marked off area were turned away by the military. It was reported that later that night, witnesses saw a military flatbed tractor-tailertruck, carrying a large tarpaulin covered object, leave the area at a high rate of speed. Reporters are among the many witnesses to verify that they saw military personnel in the Kecksburg area that night. The front page of the Greenburg, PA Tribune-Review county edition, dated December 10, 1965 can be found on the pictures above, top left. Oddly enough, after this edition was run, the following edition, claimed that "Searchers failed to find object".
Fortunately for us, BEFORE the military was able to get in there and seal off the area, there were others including some reporters that went down into the wood and came across a large metallic acorn shaped object partially buried in the ground. The device was large enough for a man to stand inside of it. The object was a bronze-gold color and appeared to be one solid piece of metal, displaying no rivets or seams . One witness, Jim Romansky, said the back of the acorn shape was he thought to be the bumper area. This area had unusual markings much like that of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Romansky, a machinist for many years, said the object itself, looked as though it had been made from liquid metal and poured into a big mold. It was noted that the object seemed well intact.
A reporter, the director of WHJB radio in Greensburg, was the first reporter to have arrived on the scene. He also said that he had went down into the wood and saw the object.
According to sources, a former Air Force security policeman has come forth, admitting that he was among the unit that guarded the object from PA, when it arrived in the early morning hours of Dec.10th at Lockbourne Air Force near Columbus Oh. He remembers extreme security measures at the time and that the object was only at the base for a short time and then was sent to Wright-Patterson Air Force base near Dayton, Ohio. *Note it seems this is the base that most crashed ufos end up going to after the military picks them up.
From what eye witnesses have said, the object appeared to have been slowing down miles before the impact. During it's flight, it appeared to have made several turns and when the object did drop from the sky, it was moving very slowly towards the woods. This may account for its good condition. What ever this object was, it created a lot of stir between the civilians and the military. Various witnesses said there were armed soldiers around their town and they were preventing anyone from going near the crash site. Jerry Betters, a popular jazz musician from Pittsburgh said that soldiers had actually threatened him and his friends with the soldiers rifles aimed at them. Another report came in from a now prominent businessman of the area, that when this occurred he and his friends were just teenagers they went into a sealed off area and were stopped by military personnel and frightened, thinking that the soldier was actually going to shoot him. We must ask ourselves what was there that was so important that these soldiers were given orders to 'shoot civilians'.

Some of you are aware that earlier this year, I released a 92 minute video documentary on the incident called "Kecksburg The Untold Story" which I produced at my own expense. Many key witnesses are getting up in years, and some are not in good health. This was an opportunity for those involved to tell their own experiences about what occurred. For the first time some new and startling information is revealed about what allegedly occurred. Some of these people reveal details which strongly suggests a cover up. Also included in the video, are audio excerpts from the original 1965 WHJB radio broadcast "Object In The Woods." One man details his claim of seeing a partially covered body inside a building at Wright-Patterson, at the same time the Kecksburg object was being examined.
There is a Kecksburg video for sale if you are interested in more information on this crash.

The government sector that is protecting these secrets has a saying that goes something like this, "They can say all they want to say about seeing ufos, crashes or aliens, but until they have cold hard evidence, they have nothing."
It seems our military is making darn well certain that none of the evidence is available for the American public..even if they have to threaten civilians in the process.

Here is a little more information. It is said that on November 23, 1965 the Russians launched COSMOS 96. Supposedly its design was based on a diving bell. Its orbit decayed on December 9, 1965 sending it crashing to earth in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. The fly in the ointment is that the satellite couldn't have slowed down or changed shape.
