On this day in 1965, a massive fireball was seen streaking across the sky from six States and Ontario, Canada. Flaming debris and sonic booms were reported in its wake as it passed over Michigan and Ohio, finally crashing in the woods near the small town of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. The military and local officials immediately quartered off the area, while witnesses claim that the army removed a large, mysterious bell-shaped craft from the woods. The Kecksburg incident stands as one of the most widely observed and highly documented UFO events in history
