UFO & Bigfoot Researcher and Author, Stan Gordon, will present an illustrated lecture where he will reveal startling newer details regarding the Kecksburg, PA UFO incident. December 9, 2025, marked the 60th anniversary since a mysterious object fell from the sky into a wooded area near Kecksburg in Westmoreland County. Whatever that object was it apparently was important enough that the military responded quickly to that area. Stan will discuss many details surrounding what took place around the landing site that evening. Was there something alive inside of the object? Why has the public never been told the truth of what was recovered that day? Stan will also give an update on recent UFO, Bigfoot, and cryptid encounters that have taken place around the Pittsburgh area and state. He will also be doing a book and DVD signing.
