Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files

SharkJumper writes "The Sci-Fi channel expects to file a lawsuit within the week against NASA. They are attempting to gain access under the Freedom of Information Act to classified documents concerning a 1965 UFO sighting in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. The Department of Defense, Army, and Air Force are next on their list. Here's Sci-Fi's account of the story."

Sounds familiar

[DeadSea]

I lived in Acme, PA just south of Kecksburg for about 9 years. I talked to a couple of the firefighters that went into the woods that night before the Army got there. From what I understand, the object that landed was an acorn shaped about the size of a car. It had strange markings around the rim that did not appear to be any language with which the the firefighters were familiar. They knew English and one of them said he would have recognized Russian.

In any case, the little down is making the most of it. There isn't much else in the down. The only industry when I was there was a Pepsi bottling plant. That shut down and was converted later into an aluminum camper manufacturing plant. The only other thing in the town center is the firehall where they have linedancing on Friday nights. The firehall has a giant acorn shaped UFO replica on the top now. ;-)

Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit

I feel compelled to add a link to Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit to this discussion:

And if this interests you, read Sagan's book, A Demon-Haunted World.

Alien invasions, abductions, etc. are great topics for movies, comic books, video games, and other forms of entertainment -- and the domain of the Sci-Fi Channel is, in fact, entertainment. But it saddens me to know that people are going to see stunts like this and begin to confuse fact with fiction -- you know, the "Fi" in Sci-Fi. :-)

People of the world, I beg you: please, please, don't take anything as fact without bothering to examine it rationally and critically.
