Many people call it Roswell of the east. The incident took place on the clear night of 9th December 1965 and was witnessed by hundreds of people in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. People saw a UFO streak across the sky before it crashed in Kecksburg. This night was surely a night to remember for them, they saw brilliants flashing nights in the sky, something crashing, starting of fire, military and NASA’s presence and military trucks hovering something under cover away.

On that night people witnessed flashing and brilliant lights in the skies and thought that they were seeing a brilliant meteorite cross the sky, but later events pointed out that it was a UFO.

The unidentified flying object left a trail in the skies which lasted for more than half an hour and was filmed and photographed by many people. Debris of the flying object was also found which was thought to be of the object. However when these debris were analyzed it was found that these debris were pieces of aluminum foil which were expelled by the flying object to fool the radar.

Two children were first to witness the crashing of this flying object resulting in starting of fire. They rushed to their homes and told their parents about it, who then called fire department and state police. When the parents rushed to the crash site, to their surprise they found that the military personnel were already present there. When the police and fire fighter reached the spot they were told to leave without giving any explanation. The NASA’s top personnel were also seen on the crash site.

All the newspapers, TV news channels, police and radio stations in the Pittsburgh area had there phones lines jammed with calls about the strange object.

The object that crashed was sent to Wright Patterson AFB for inspection. Project Blue Book, the part of Air Force which deals with UFO dubbed this UFO incident as Project Moon Dust. The official report that came out after analysis described this UFO as a meteorite. However Ufologists refused to take the Air Force’s claims and insisted that this object was an UFO and not a meteorite.

Years later a famous Ufologist Stan Gordon who is an expert in this field investigated this incident and found out that several pilots flying at that time reacted to the flying object as if it produced shock waves, some of the firefighters who went close to the crashing site saw flashing blue lights coming out of the object and also burnt tree tops indicating that something huge and heavy passed through it, a person who was with the recovery team were given orders to shoot any person coming near to the site, the villagers were asked to stay in homes or otherwise face severe consequence. All these evidences pointed that something fishy is going on and government is hiding facts. Perhaps some day the clouds of secrecy will be removed, but until then lets wait and watch.
