Kecksburg Incident

The Kecksburg Incident occurred in 1965 in Pennsylvania when a fireball, resembling a falling meteor, was reported across several states. Witnesses saw a mysterious, acorn-shaped object crash in a forest near Kecksburg. The military arrived quickly, removed the debris—often described as metallic and unusual—and barred public access. Some believe it was a secret spacecraft or experimental equipment, while official explanations suggest it was a falling missile or meteor. The event remains one of the most discussed UFO sightings in the U.S., fueling speculation about extraterrestrial encounters and government cover-ups.
