The Kecksburg, Pennsylvania UFO Recovery 58 Years Ago Today and Still No Answers-December 9, 2023

The Kecksburg, Pennsylvania UFO Recovery 58 Years Ago Today And Still No Answers-December 9, 2023

From: Researcher Stan Gordon   www.stangordon.info

(Stan Gordon Files)

December 9, 1965. It was a date that many Pennsylvania residents will never forget. It was about 4:47 PM when witnesses were ringing the phones at police departments, radio and TV stations, and newspaper offices in the greater Pittsburgh area to report seeing a bright fiery object passing through the sky. During the late afternoon and throughout Thursday evening, that news was breaking around Pittsburgh. I was sixteen years old at the time of the occurrence, and I began to document the information as it was breaking on radio and television.

Television, radio, and newspaper reporters from many localities that evening rushed to the small rural community of Kecksburg  located in Westmoreland county. They had received information that the object that had been seen in the sky around Pittsburgh had reportedly fallen into a heavily wooded area outside of that town. By the time many of the news media arrived that evening, they found the rural roads jammed with curious people who wanted to get a look at whatever it was that had reportedly fallen into the woods. They also encountered volunteer firemen, state police, and military personnel.

Surprising to many who were in the area that day was the quick arrival of the military. There is no doubt that the military was there. Area residents and other visitors who went to Kecksburg that day, as well as firemen, law enforcement officers, and numerous reporters confirmed this to me. Several types of military vehicles were seen in the area where the object had fallen and was later reportedly recovered. Witnesses said they saw Air Force and Army personnel. There are other witnesses that stated that they either saw or interacted with NASA personnel.

Over the years since the incident took place, I tracked down hundreds of people who had knowledge of what had occurred. Many witnesses to that 1965 incident have now passed away. Others are indeed elderly, and many are in poor health. There are others, however, who are still alive and will never forget what they saw and experienced that day so many years ago.

 In past years I filed numerous (FOIA) requests with many agencies for information pertaining to the Kecksburg incident. It was in the mid-1980s that researcher Ray Boeche obtained the Air Force Project Blue Book report on the occurrence. The location was listed as Acme, rather than Kecksburg. Years ago, I interviewed a family who had been involved with the incident. They had been visited by an Air Force officer at that time in 1965. They lived close to where the object had reportedly fallen, however they had an Acme mailing address. I believe that is why the location is listed as Acme.

During my investigation, I learned that some local residents who saw the object fall from the sky into the nearby woods that afternoon, soon after, went down into those woods to find out what had fallen. That is when they came across that large metallic acorn shaped object with odd symbols on its surface, partially buried in the ground. No weld marks, rivets, or seams were observed on the object. One witness who stood only a few feet away from the landed object stated that it looked like someone poured liquid metal into an acorn shaped mold. Because of his family background, that witness was certain that the symbols on the raised up section on the back of the object were not of Soviet origin. Late that evening, numerous witnesses observed an acorn shaped object covered with a tarp being transported out of the area on a military flatbed tractor trailer truck.

I later learned from independent sources that the object was transported during the early morning hours of December 10, 1965, from the Kecksburg area to Lockbourne Air Force Base near Columbus, Ohio. The flatbed tractor trailer and its cargo were backed into a hanger on the base. An armed security team guarded that hanger while that truck remained on that base for a brief time. The truck and its cargo  continued onto Wright Patterson Air Force base where the object was later placed inside of an existing building. It was not Hangar 18 that we have heard about over the years.

Since the time the incident occurred, there have been numerous theories proposed as to what that object was that fell near Kecksburg 58 years ago. Was this object a very secretive and advanced man-made space device or could it have been of non-human  origin? I keep an open mind to both possibilities and so did many of the witnesses that saw that object long ago.

There is one detail that is not widely known concerning the description of the object. There were some witnesses who had a close view of the object. They reported that there was a raised protuberance that extended out from the front section of the object.

 This is the sketch of the object drawn by a witness who observed it pass low overhead moments before impact.

Whatever that object was, it performed some interesting maneuvers along its path. The object was moving roughly SE from Allegheny county into Westmoreland county and over the city of Greensburg. It moved toward Route 30 east near what was then the Gee Bee department store and made a turn to the south. The object was observed from such areas as Margurite, Norvelt, Mammoth, over the outskirts of Kecksburg, and continued to move toward the mountains of Laurelville about 3.5 miles away. The object seemed to hesitate over the mountain, then began to travel back toward the outskirts of  Kecksburg, then turned again and dropped down into the woods. Area residents who saw the object fall said that it was moving quite slowly and went down as though it was making a controlled landing. There were no parachutes reported at the site during or after the landing.

 For years, I had information from witnesses who told me that the next day (Friday) after the incident had taken place, that a smaller group of personnel returned to the location and were observed entering the woods where the object had fallen. For example, Two boys walking in those woods the next morning were stopped by a man with an instrument, possibly a metal detector or Geiger counter, and were told that they better leave the woods since there was the chance of radiation.

 Additionally, independent newspaper stories confirmed that there was another search of the area the next day where the object had fallen. They also mentioned the military being there. However, in some other Friday newspapers, the officials indicated that the search was over, and that nothing was found, and that the object was Likely a meteor observed  in the sky.

What was the object that fell into the woods outside of Kecksburg that afternoon in 1965? What was so important about that object that armed military personnel reportedly responded so quickly to recover it?

I learned various details over the years that concerned the incident that were quite fascinating. This is an example of what I came across.

*On the day of the occurrence, more than one reporter on the scene who was taking pictures, reportedly had the film confiscated from their camera by authorities in that area.

*I was told many years ago by a witness who is now deceased, that he and another family member were transported from a location near the impact site to their home in a military jeep. While riding in the vehicle, they overheard radio transmissions that there was someone down in the woods with a camera. He said the voices sounded extremely excited and concerned until the photographer was located.

*News crews from Pittsburgh area TV stations were on the scene that evening. There were news stories about the occurrence that aired on Thursday evening and Friday. I recall watching the TV broadcast of the  incident the next day that was in black and white on one of the stations. Over the years I requested the TV stations to attempt to locate the archival news reels for that day in 1965. None of that footage has ever been found after various attempts were conducted to locate what had been broadcast and should have been in the station’s news library archives.

*Over the years, various Kecksburg fire department officials confirmed to me that the records for December of 1965, such as the incident report logs for fire vehicles were all missing. All other records were accounted for.

*Independent witnesses who were in the area near where the object fell that evening, confirmed that there was not just one, but two military flatbed tractor trailer trucks on the scene along with other military vehicles.

*Independent witnesses reported seeing men in what they referred to as “moon suits (hazmat) around the area where the object had reportedly fallen.

On July 26, 2023, whistleblower, David Grusch, A former military intelligence officer testified before  congress under oath that he had information that the government has had a secret program that involved the recovery of UFOs or UAP. I believe David Grusch is telling the truth.

It is quite likely that there was already a quick response government UFO recovery program in operation in 1965 and was involved with the Kecksburg incident. It is interesting that within the Project Blue Book report was  an entry on this case that stated, “A three man team has been dispatched to Acme, Pa to investigate and pick up an object that started a fire.”

Some of the locals were certain that they began to see a small military presence around the Kecksburg area within the hour after the object had reportedly fallen. It was during the next few hours, however, when a considerable number of military vehicles and personnel would arrive in the area from various directions. Local and national newspaper stories mentioned the military activity in the Kecksburg area.

I am still hopeful that photos that were reportedly taken that evening of not only the military trucks but also of the object will still show up. I crossed paths with various individuals who told me they saw black and white photos that were taken at that time. I talked with a person whom I believe was at the scene that night who told me that he took photos of the object on the military truck. He lent the pictures to some friends and the pictures have since been lost. It is possible that some families might  have such pictures in some old scrapbooks.

This picture that has been circulating on the internet IS NOT an authentic picture of the Kecksburg object with military vehicles. The photo was taken during the reenactment shoot of the incident for the Unsolved Mysteries TV program that aired in 1990. The mockup of the  object was created for the program and was later given to the Keckburg volunteer fire department. It is still on display on their property.
(Stan Gordon Files)

The government now has an office that is telling the public that it is taking the UFO subject seriously. There are many individuals who were involved with the Kecksburg incident in 1965 that are hopeful that some information will be uncovered and revealed to the public that will provide some answers as to what the object was that fell near Kecksburg 58 years ago.

I recently received information from Ron Lanham who is associated with the Wild & Weird West Virginia research group. UFO Cryptid & Paranormal Art | Wild & Weird West Virginia (wildandweirdwv.com).

Ron shared with me some details concerning a strange encounter that had been reported by three witnesses at about 8:30 PM, while riding an ATV in Tyler County, West Virginia. The creature described was similar to reports that I began to receive in 2017 in Pennsylvania. In the months and years that followed, other similar sightings reportedly occurred around the country.

The information that Ron shared indicated that there were some other interesting details possibly associated with the case. The research team was able to interview the witnesses and had them on their podcast to relate what they had seen. You can watch the interview at the following link and also read the full report as well. (43) What Did These Witnesses Encounter In The Woods Of West Virginia? – YouTube

Addendum:

On the same date as this incident took place in neighboring West Virginia, a UFO/UAP sighting was reported near Pittsburgh at about 11:10 PM.

This year, there have been numerous detailed UFO/UAP sightings coming in from across the state. Also, many reports of not only Bigfoot, but also several types of cryptid encounters as well. Some of these incidents have taken place in daylight. The public is reporting other anomalies as well. These incidents seem to have increased since July.

**Additional UFO/UAP and other unusual incidents of very recent date are being reported to me as I am completing this article.

Black Triangular UFO/UAP Changes Shape Over House During Daylight in Fayette County, Pennsylvania-November 16, 2023.

  • Filed under UFO

Black Triangular UFO/UAP Changes Shape Over House During Daylight in Fayette County, Pennsylvania-November 16, 2023.

From: Researcher Stan Gordon

The following information was received from my research associate Jim Brown. Jim received the initial details from one of the two witnesses on the day of the occurrence. The sighting took place on November 16, 2023, at approximately 2 PM. The weather was mostly clear with the temperature near 60 degrees. The sighting occurred in the Point Marion area in Fayette County.

Jim was able to interview both witnesses, and also conducted a follow up interview with them on November 21st. No additional information was obtained and there were no further unusual sightings.

The incident began when the neighbor, “Mary Smith” a pseudonym, was going outside to enjoy the nice weather, and noticed a strange object about fifty feet above the roof of her neighbor’s house. Her first thoughts were that someone may have been doing some roof work and this was a tarp blowing around or that it was some type of kite. She soon realized that the object was quite unusual.

When Mary first saw the object, it appeared to be a solid black triangular object. As she continued to watch it began to change its physical shape from a triangle to a square. It was difficult to judge the size since the object was in a constant shape changing motion. She did indicate that it was about 20-30 feet away from any point across the object during either configuration. The object also looked to be about four feet in thickness. The object had no lights, was silent, and no surface features were observed.

Mary was intrigued by what she was seeing, and thought that she should call her neighbor, “Jane” also a pseudonym, to tell her about the object that she was watching over the roof of Jane’s house. She rang the phone, however there was no answer. She did  however leave a message. Mary, still fascinated by the unusual object, went back to looking at it. She never thought about taking her phone to try to obtain a picture. She did notice that the object was rising higher into the sky.

Mary decided to walk over to Jane’s house to get a better look at the object. That is when she realized that Jane was outside doing some yard work. Jane had no idea about what was happening until Mary pointed the object out to her. When both witnesses observed the object, it was estimated to be about five hundred feet in the sky and moving higher.

Jane explained to Jim that when she saw the black object it was changing shapes and that it was hard to give a definitive size as it was changing. “Sometimes it appeared as a square that was drawing itself into a triangular form. One corner of the square would pull itself into the body and at the same time another area along the edge would extend out to become another point.”

This activity continued as the object was gaining altitude. Jane, who had been working outside also did not have her phone with her. They watched the object continue to rise higher for about two to three more minutes until it just became a dark spot in the sky and was lost from sight.

Addendum:

The location of this sighting is about three to four miles from the Fort Martin Coal Power plant. Fayette County is a highly active area historically for UFO/UAP sightings as well as other anomalous incidents.

UFO/UAP sightings continue to be reported from across the state in recent weeks and months. Some of these reports can be viewed on my website: www.stangordon.info. There have also been additional reports of small spheres observed at exceptionally low level.

Triangular UFO/UAP Sightings Continue in Pennsylvania

Triangular UFO/UAP Sightings Continue in Pennsylvania (Posted November 6, 2023)

From: Researcher Stan Gordon  www.stangordon.info

UFO/UAP observations have continued to be reported from across the state of Pennsylvania in recent weeks and months. Among the ongoing UFO/UAP sightings of various shapes reported there have been additional observations of triangular objects with some interesting details. The following are some of the UFO/UAP cases that came to my attention.

August 18, 2023- Rural Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred at about 9:25 PM. The witness was inside her home when she noticed a bright light from outside shining between the window blind flaps. She looked out the window and observed a very bright white object that was triangle shaped with three rounded corners.

The object was stationary, and looked to be about the size of a medical helicopter that passes low over the area. The object seemed to be about fifty feet higher than the nearby trees. Surrounding the object was what the witness described as an odd colored haze, similar to a halo that was purplish brown. The halo while luminous, was not as bright as the body of the triangle shaped object that was completely glowing.

There also appeared to be some lines or separations on the bottom surface of the object. A red light was observed on each back corner of the object that was steady while hovering, however as the object began to move toward the north, the red light began to blink. The object moved over the house and continued across the sky toward the Shelocta area. The object made no sound. The observation lasted a few minutes. Unfortunately, the witness didn’t have a camera.

August 20, 2023-New Stanton, Pennsylvania-A glowing blueish colored cigar shaped object was observed about 9:30 PM moving east to west across the sky. The object appeared to be at about the altitude that small aircraft are commonly observed at in the area. The witness stated that the object was moving faster than any jet could attempt, however not as fast as a meteor. The witness has observed many meteors. He commented that it looked similar to a missile moving through the sky. He estimated that the object itself could have been 10-20 feet long.

I recently posted a detailed observation of a low level triangular object that took place on September 3, 2023, in Cumberland County, south of Harrisburg.

September 4, 2023-This incident also took place in Cumberland County about four miles from the September 3rd location, however it occurred on the following evening. The location was less then a mile from the Susquehanna river. I conducted a long interview with the primary witness and found him to be very professional and detailed in his testimony. This will be the man I am referring to in the following report.

The witness was driving along a local road with a friend, when at 8:54 PM, he noticed something strange in the sky. He yelled to his friend and hit the brakes, then pulled his vehicle off the road. The two men got out to observe the circular object that initially was not that high in the sky and hovering. The object appeared to be solid looking and white in color. Suddenly the object accelerated with extreme speed straight up into the sky to a higher altitude. Both men were amazed at what they were seeing.

Photo of the circular object observed on September 4, 2023, in Cumberland County, PA. Used with permission of the witness.

As the object continued to move higher into what the primary witness called the upper atmosphere, that circular object appeared to split into two. According to him, the circular object separated into two “crafts.” The saucer shaped object on the top continued to move upward at high speed, while the one on the bottom immediately looked as though it just disintegrated into a bunch of “sparkly things.” The witness attempted to video tape what was taking place with his phone camera. When he zoomed in, he was of the impression that each sparkly thing had a distinct geometric shape. He called them, “h-shaped crafts.” The original circular object continued to move at an amazingly fast speed, higher up into the sky. The small h-shaped sparkly objects appeared to fade away and were no longer observed. The witness stated that he and his friend watched as the circular object continued to rise even higher, then suddenly performed “a seemingly impossible 45 degree-angle precise turn due east across the horizon.”

Moments later they saw something else that confused them. Approaching from the west and moving east along the path that the circular object was taking, was another object that was moving fast, that they believed could have been a military drone or a small aircraft. What was observed was described as “two fuselages connected by one long wing.” There was a very bright white blinking light at the end of each fuselage. From a distance the sound it made was similar to a lawn mower. The witness stated that he had never seen or heard an aircraft like that before. Whatever it was, it seemed to be tracking the circular shaped object. (During a follow up interview, the witness now thinks this may have been a military helicopter.)

The primary witness attempted to video tape the UFO/UAP activity. He set his iPhone setting to video mode and began to record from the time the observation began. He saw that the video was recording and counting up the footage on the screen. He also had the flash mode shut off. However, during the video recording the flash still occurred. When he played back to watch the video, he realized that no video was recorded. Only a few still pictures had been captured. The man  was glad however that at least he was able to obtain some pictures to document what was observed. The witness could not explain why the video was not recorded.

September 22nd or 23rd, 2023-Susquehanna County-A couple of miles from the Pennsylvania-New York border. At about 10 PM, the witness had taken a walk outside and observed two triangular objects flying due west. He described the objects as very large, jumbo jet size and lower in altitude than the aircraft he sees flying over the area. There was a round white light on each corner on the leading edge of each object. There was also a red round light in the center of each object that would periodically flash. There was also a single round white light positioned in the corner behind the red light. The witness indicated that the sides of the objects were not equilateral.

Although the witness could easily make out the lights on the objects with his naked eyes, he quickly obtained binoculars to take a closer look. The second object was trailing the first object by about 15 seconds along the same path. They were moving slowly and were quite visible for 45 seconds to nearly a minute as they moved out of sight. The witness did not notice any sound. The witness did not have a camera phone.

Solid Black Triangular UFO/UAP Hovers Low Over Pennsylvania Building

Solid Black Triangular UFO/UAP Hovers Low Over Pennsylvania Building

From: Researcher Stan Gordon

A very interesting UFO/UAP observation took place on September 3, 2023, in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, near the Susquehanna River. The incident took place around 9 PM, when the witness went outside to do a chore and also to walk her dog. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light similar to a starburst. The dog, which is deaf, was in a sitting position and looking up toward the sky. The witness then looked up to see what had attracted the dogs attention. She indicated to me that the light was shining down on her and the dog.

Hovering about 300 feet over her building was a large, solid black triangular object with rounded corners. There was enough moonlight to illuminate the area near the unusual object. The witness described the surface of the object as having a flat matte black color. She had a clear view of the undercarriage and back section of the object. There were no individual lights on the object. She could only describe the size as massive, and much larger than the medical helicopters that fly over her area on a regular basis.

Drawing of the Triangle shaped object used with permission of the witness.

When I interviewed the witness, she described seeing what looked like two circular protuberances on the back section of the object that she thought were possibly vents. It was in that area she noticed what she surmised was the orange colored metal cooling off from the intense heat. She said this cooling effect did not occur all at once. She also observed what looked like some type of indentations or protrusions on the bottom surface.

As the object hovered, she noticed a deep, yet barely audible humming sound, and then one click type noise as the object began to slowly move. Suddenly the object moved so fast that it looked like a smudge and never saw it move off across the sky. “It just vanished.”

The entire observation happened within seconds. The witness did not contact me until a few weeks after the observation. As she described the experience to me in detail, she still sounded verbally shaken by what had taken place. The location of the sighting was only a few blocks from the Susquehanna river.

Addendum:

On the same date that this sighting took place, there were two other UFO/UAP reports in eastern sections of the state in Bucks and Montgomery counties.  

There have been other low level triangular UFO/UAP sightings reported this year, and many in past years in Pennsylvania. For example, on November 11, 2021, a person driving on Route 119 just outside of Smithfield in Fayette County observed something unusual in the sky during the early evening. About fifty yards ahead, the driver saw an object barely moving that appeared quite low above the ground. There were three lights in a rounded triangular configuration that was described as similar to a “guitar pick in shape.”  The lights looked perfectly circular, were non- blinking and orange yellow in color and were the size of a large dinner plate. As she got closer, the silent object was to her left about ten yards away off the road. She passed below  a section of the object that was about thirty feet above the ground. The witness had a dog in the car at the time that was also looking at the object. The driver touched the animal to comfort it and felt a static electric charge at that time. The driver said the object was only about ten feet long and six feet wide.

Some of the more recent reports can be found at these links.

UFO Sightings Last Night in Southwest Pennsylvania Were Actually Starlink Satellites-September 1, 2023

UFO Sightings Last Night in Southwest Pennsylvania Were Actually Starlink Satellites-September 1, 2023

From: Researcher Stan Gordon

Many people on Friday night, September 1, 2023, observed multiple lights in a straight line moving across the sky. My phone began to ring with UFO reports from various locations in southwest Pennsylvania soon after the objects were observed. The descriptions were all very similar.

While the line of lights looked mysterious, there was indeed an explanation. The source was a train of Starlink satellites that passed over the Pittsburgh area at 8:51 PM and would have been visible for a few minutes. According to the Starlink tracker website, the procession was moving from west to southeast. I am sure that there will be additional sighting reports from many other areas as the objects passed across the sky.

The Starlink satellite processions have been observed numerous times in the past in the Pittsburgh area, and across Pennsylvania and other parts of the country. The Starlink satellites have often been reported as UFOs.

Synopsis: Many UFO/UAP sightings are misidentifications of natural or manmade objects. There however have been numerous UFO/UAP sightings also reported in recent months from Pennsylvania that are not so easily explained. Some of these reports have been daylight observations.

Daylight Observation of An Odd Shaped UFO/UAP Moving Low Overhead Near Irwin, PA (August 8, 2023.)

Daylight Observation Of An Odd Shaped UFO/UAP Moving Low Overhead Near Irwin, PA

(August 8, 2023.)

From: Researcher Stan Gordon

An interesting UFO/UAP incident occurred on August 8, 2023, in the Irwin, Pennsylvania area. The sighting occurred at 11:10 AM as the witness was floating on a raft in his swimming pool. The man was facing south when he observed a black object moving low overhead moving from east to west. The object was moving very fast across the sky in a perfectly straight line. The witness stated that the wind was about five to seven miles from the west, and the object moved directly into the wind. The observer estimated that the object was moving at a speed of 100 mph or more as he watched it.

The man estimated that the object was exceptionally low in altitude, only about 150 feet off the ground. There was quite a lot of cloud cover at the time, which made it easy to see the shape of the object. At that time of the morning the sun was behind the object.

The object was described as having a flat black color. There were no apparent lights, wings, or propellers observed. The witness stated that the shape of the object was similar to a cross section of a wing of an aircraft. The base was flat. The silent object looked to be only about six feet in length. The sighting lasted about 5-7 seconds as it moved off in the distance behind a tree.

Synopsis:

On the same evening as the Irwin sighting, other witnesses from the same general area reported observing a bright object that changed colors and made erratic movements in the sky.

These sighting are among numerous other UFO/UAP reports that have been taking place in recent weeks in Pennsylvania.

I had previously mentioned that some detailed UFO/UAP incidents had taken place during the weekend of July 28-30, 2023. Additional sighting reports have been coming in that took place during July, that had not been reported.

August has been busy with both daylight and nighttime observations. Interestingly, not only have there been UFO/UAP sightings, but the public is reporting encounters with Bigfoot and other cryptids as well. Other anomalies are also being reported. Some of these cases are quite interesting. I am still gathering more details and interviewing witnesses.

I received a phone call from a man on August 3, 2023, at 9:57 PM. He wanted to tell me about something he saw at about 2 AM early that morning. He has trouble sleeping so he often takes early morning walks. He was walking several blocks from the downtown section of Latrobe. This area is in the vicinity of the Chestnut Ridge that has a long history of UFO and cryptid encounters.

The witness noticed a series of lights in the sky coming from the Ligonier area and moving west toward Latrobe. He assumed it was an aircraft. As the lights got closer, he observed a large solid dark  and shiny triangular object that was approaching close to his location. At the bottom, the object had one white non-blinking round light on each corner, and one larger non-blinking round red light in the center. Along the side were five small white non blinking lights. The witness estimated the length of the object to have been about 100 to 200 feet from point to point.

The object that was moving slowly but steadily and moving slower than an aircraft. At times there appeared to be some skipping or jittering in its movements or even slightl pivoting. There were no markings visible on the object as it passed over. The object passed overhead at about 1500 feet. The object was completely silent. The object continued to move slowly in the direction of Greensburg.

The man aimed his phone camera at the object to take video. He saw the image on his phone screen. When he got home to look at the video, there was no video footage. He has no idea why it didn’t record. The total observation was about 3 minutes.

Synopsis:

This observation is very similar to the object reported on July 29th in the Mount Pleasant, PA area. Latrobe is about 16 miles from the Mount Pleasant area.

A Weekend Surge of UFO/UAP Sightings and other Anomalies in Southwest Pennsylvania (July 28-30, 2023) – Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone

A Weekend Surge of UFO/UAP Sightings and other Anomalies in Southwest Pennsylvania (July 28-30, 2023)

A Weekend Surge of UFO/UAP Sightings and other Anomalies in Southwest Pennsylvania –(July 28-30, 2023)

From: Researcher Stan Gordon    www.stangordon.info

I have been taking UFO reports via phone since 1969. Sightings of UFOs/UAPs continue to be received on a regular basis from the public via telephone and email. Sightings are reported yearly in both daylight as well as night. Quite often, the reported sightings are determined to be misidentifications of natural or manmade objects such as sky lanterns, Starlink satellites, bright planets, drones, or meteors.

There have been, however, numerous UFO/UAP observations reported in Pennsylvania in past years, and even more recently , that can’t be easily dismissed. Some of those cases can be found in various reports on my website. There was a series of close range and low level UFO/UAP encounters that took place from October-December of 2021. That was unusual since UFO/UAP reports generally decrease during the colder weather. Since then, there has been a continuous flow of UFO/UAP observations, and these incidents have continued throughout 2023.

UFO/UAP sightings were active throughout May of 2023. There was however less UFO/UAP activity reported during June and much of July.

UFO/UAP Sightings and Near the Ground Balls of Light Encounters Are Reported Often in Pennsylvania-2023 Cases Continuing-May 23, 2023 – Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone

In past months, the most common UFO/UAP object reported has been the daylight sightings of what witnesses have described as wingless cigar shaped objects. These objects have been reported hovering in clear skies and then suddenly just vanishing never to be seen again. In other cases, the objects move extremely slowly across the sky.

Observations of triangular shaped objects are being reported, as well as sightings of luminous balls of light in the sky, or very low to the ground.

The recent weekend activity:

There was a series of interesting UFO/UAP and other anomaly reports that came to my attention during the weekend of July 28-30, 2023. I began to receive reports on Saturday evening. During the next few days, other unusual incidents that took place from Friday through Sunday were also being reported.

July 28th-Researcher Kevin Paul received information that two people walking along a river trail in Greene county early that evening observed two beachball sized balls of light about twenty feet apart flying in a diagonal formation. The spheres blinked orange and white and were estimated as moving through the sky at less than two hundred feet altitude. The silent objects moved steadily off in the distance in the direction of Fredericktown.

July 28th– During the evening a loud boom was reported from Fayette county. Mystery booms have been reported for years in Pennsylvania and around the country. In many cases, explanations ranging from weather related events  to Tannerite that is used for firearms target practice have been determined to be the source of such incidents. Some of the reports where loud booms were heard, and shakings felt over large distances remain a mystery. I have not heard of any source having been determined for this incident

July 28th-Eric Altman of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society informed me that a group of researchers were investigating the area that they call “Area X” during the evening. The undisclosed location deeply hidden in  the woods of Fayette county in southwest Pennsylvania has a history of ongoing phenomena that is similar to what has been reported at Skinwalker ranch in Utah. The group had been investigating reports of Bigfoot activity near this location, when the location was discovered. Mysterious sounds, small orbs of light low to the ground have come out of the woods and have approached within a few feet of witnesses, and other odd light phenomena are some of the anomalies reported. On this day, they heard movement in the woods, strange moaning sounds, and heavy rocks were being thrown near them. What took place the next evening was more interesting.

July 29th-  A team of Bigfoot researchers had returned to “Area X” in Fayette county. Some very strange activity reportedly took place that evening according to information that I received from Eric Altman. The researchers heard what appeared to have been a tree pushed over, and a  bright red sphere of light was observed low to the ground. There were reportedly two sightings of a strange hominid creature. It was first observed in the vehicle headlights, however just outside of the light to see any good details. What was seen was a tall figure, with a head and eyeshine. Later, another witness observed a hunched over figure quickly crossing the road from right to left. It was described as being very tall and thin, with a bluish-gray color, with little or no hair. A second witness also saw it from a distance away. I was told the first witness was quite shaken after seeing the cryptid.

July 29th- A witness near Scottdale, at about sunset observed in the northern sky a round object  that was bright white and possibly bluish in color. The object seemed to be slowly moving south. It was about the size of the star Vega  and at approximately 60 degrees altitude. While under observation, a white puff ring emitted from it extending 10-20 times diameter outwards and had a width of about three to seven times the diameter of the object that looked similar to smoke or a contrail. The witness who is quite familiar with the sky went into the house to obtain a pair of high quality binoculars. Through the binoculars he could clearly see the ring.

He also noticed several smaller bright objects near the spherical object that seemed to be quickly moving around it. Those smaller objects were possibly flying and engaging the larger spherical object. The witness also observed a smaller less luminous object that was red in color. This object was about half the apparent size of the original sphere. That red object was moving directly downward and possibly falling.

July 29th- Ron Lanham from the Wild & Weird West Virginia research team reported that he received 
a report from Tucker County, West Virginia that a witness had observed a slow-moving light at about 10 PM, that had no strobes, and was zigzagging as it moved toward the southeast. Another smaller point  of light was noticed above it.

July 29th -I received a phone call from a witness at 10:13 PM. He sounded very shaken and concerned. He was describing an object in the sky that he was observing at that time. He had just walked outside a few minutes before to put out some garbage. He happened to look up into the southeast sky from his location outside of Mount Pleasant in Westmoreland County. This is only a short distance from Scottdale where the earlier sighting report had originated from.

He observed what he described as a massive triangular shaped object that emitted a bright greenish-orange glow. The object was hovering when he saw it. While talking to me he became very excited stating that the object had suddenly just vanished then moments later reappeared again, however it had moved forward ahead slightly. There seemed to be an electric hum coming from it. The object did this a second, and then a third time while he watched it. The man attempted to take pictures with his cell phone camera. He could see it in the viewer however the pictures only showed a blur not the object. He could not understand why that happened.

At 10:18 PM, while under observation, the object suddenly with incredible speed, shot off toward the southwest. The object had moved out of sight in seconds. Moments later, the witness observed what he described as three military jets approaching from the direction of Donegal. The jets approached the area then  made a sharp turn then headed in the direction of the object. The jets could not catch up with it. The witness heard their jet engines and was certain they were military. The man went back into the house after the incident.

The object description: The witness used the term massive to describe triangular object that looked solid looking with a green-orange glow. The object was estimated to be around three hundred feet in length. At the bottom of the object in the center, was a large round non blinking green light. There was a smaller round white light on each corner that did not blink. There was also on each corner, a smaller triangular shaped object that seemed attached to it and they were each pointing outward. The entire object was surrounded in an orange fog.

July 29th -Researcher Kevin Paul reported that on Saturday evening in Greene county around 11 PM, a woman was getting ready to take her dog for a walk when she heard a very loud, guttural series of grunts that sounded close by. The sounds were unusual and sounded similar to what a deer would make, however these were much louder and deeper.

July 30th –The witness from the Mount Pleasant area called back at 12:11 AM and was quite excited again. He had looked out a window and saw a large white light below the clouds. It was not perfectly round but looked like a bright white vertical solid egg in the sky. He went outside to get a better look. He hung up and called me back a few minutes later. He had taken pictures of the object and one image did show something.

As he continued to watch, the object that seemed quite large moved slowly closer to the treetops. The witness was quite amazed as he watched the object make a turn and suddenly change shape from the egg into a large triangular object. The surface of the object gave the impression that it was constructed of soft black metal. There was a non-blinking white round light on each corner. After hovering for a short time, the object took off at a high speed across the sky and was quickly lost from view.

July 30th -Kevin Paul reported that a witness , around 9 PM, was dog walking near Rogersville in Greene county when he noticed a steady bright white light almost directly above him. There were no other navigational or strobe lights observed. The object was above the clouds and the witness watched as the object flew off toward the southeast at a high rate of speed. The witness told Kevin that the object took only about 10 seconds to move from overhead to out of sight over the horizon. The object appeared to wobble slightly as it moved out of sight.
