Bill Bulebush-The First Eyewitness to See the Kecksburg UFO On the Ground has Passed Away
It is with deep sadness that I have learned that Bill Bulebush of Mammoth, Pennsylvania, passed away on March 2, 2022, at the age of 96. As far as I am aware, Bill was likely the first person to go down into the woods near Kecksburg, that afternoon on December 9, 1965, where he saw the object. Bill saw the fiery object in the sky as he was tuning up the CB radio in his car that day and drove toward the area where it appeared the object was coming down. He entered the woods after observing bright blue arching of light down in the woods where he hunted. That’s when he came upon a large metallic acorn shaped object with odd symbols on its surface.
I first met Bill in 1988 after learning of his experience. Bill took myself and other research team members on a journey down into the woods and took us to a tree that he stood behind that day as he observed the object lying on the ground nearby. It was the same location that other witnesses independently took me to over the years.
During the years after Bill and I met, we had many conversations sitting in his kitchen discussing the experience he had with the mysterious object that day in 1965. It was something that he would never forget. Bill would, over the years on occasion, attend the Kecksburg V.F.D. UFO Festival and he was always greeted by many people who attended the event. I had no doubt that Bill was telling the truth and he always wondered what the object was that he saw that day.
Bill will be missed, and he will always be remembered as a part of the history of the Kecksburg UFO incident. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill’s family and may he rest in peace. Maybe now Bill will learn what really happened that day in 1965.
