This is cool! This is from the Kecksburg Volunteer Fire Dept--first on scene in the famous Kecksburg UFO Crash site in 1965.  Every year in July, the Fire Dept has a UFO Festival that is very popular in this area. This incident has been features on many TV mystery shows, books and movies made from it.  There are still people alive who remember that day.  The replica from one TV show was donated to the VFD and is on display across from the firehall--see last photo. The back of the hooded sweatshirt shows an image of the UFO flying through the air and crashing into the woods.

Pennsylvania

United States
, when a fireball was reported by citizens of six U.S. states and Canada over
Detroit, Michigan

burning up in the atmosphere and descending at a steep angle.
NASA
released a statement in 2005 reporting that experts had examined fragments from the area and determined they were from a
Soviet
satellite, but that records of their findings were lost in 1987. NASA responded to court orders and
Freedom of Information Act
requests to search for the records. The incident gained wide notoriety in popular culture and
UFOlogy
