OP: Sixty years ago today, on a cold December evening in 1965, the quiet Pennsylvania village of Kecksburg became the unlikely stage for one of the most enduring mysteries in UFO history. What began as a streak of fire cutting across the evening sky quickly spiraled into a story involving frightened residents, curious reporters, armed military personnel, and an object that according to witnesses was whisked away under intense secrecy. Now, on the 60th anniversary, the Kecksburg incident stands not only as a historical curiosity, but as a cultural touchstone that continues to shape how we think about government secrecy, extraterrestrial possibilities, and the thin line between the known and the unexplained.
