UFO festival crashes into Pennsylvania town for annual re-investigation

Was it a meteorite? An Air Force spy satellite that fell out of orbit? An experimental aircraft or spacecraft from a secret government program? Something Russian? An alien spaceship?

Most folks in and around Kecksburg - and, in and around the UFO community - agree that something came out of the sky and into a wooded hollow near this Westmoreland County village, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, in the late afternoon of December 9, 1965.

The disagreements and diverging theories/solutions begin at that point and have yet to end.

A primary reason for that ongoing discussion more than 50 years later is the annual Kecksburg UFO Festival hosted by the local volunteer fire company.

This year's festival runs today through Sunday.

In many communities without what many believe was an acorn-shaped craft engraved with strange symbols that crashed nearby in 1965, it would be a standard firemen's carnival.

The event includes a corn-hole tournament, truck burnout competition, bed race, craft show, parade, food vendors and the other trappings of a community celebration.

However, in Kecksburg it also includes UFO, paranormal and Bigfoot speakers and displays. The UFO-Paranormal Conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday.
