Find out what really happened in the remote town of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania on the chilly evening of December 9, 1965 as documentary filmmakers explore the hotly-contested events surrounding the crash of a mysterious object from space that some people claimed to have been an actual UFO. Though quickly dismissed by government officials as a simple meteorite, eyewitnesses claimed the descending object not only changed direction and left a vapor trail in its wake, and those who got a closer look claimed that it appeared to be a copper-colored, acorn-shaped craft covered in strange writing. In the hours following the crash, the rapid response of the U.S. military in recovering the object and quickly moving it to Wright Patterson Air Force base only fueled speculation as to the true identity of the otherworldly object.
