WASHINGTON (AP) -- NASA has agreed to search its archives once again for documents on a 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, a step the space agency fought in federal court. The government has refused to open its files about what, if anything, moved across the sky and crashed in the woods near Kecksburg, Pa., 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Traffic was tied up in the area as curiosity seekers drove to the area, only to be kept away from the crash site by soldiers.

The Air Force's explanation for the unidentified flying object: a meteor or meteors.

Eyewitnesses said a flatbed truck drove away a large object shaped like an acorn and about the size of a Volkswagen bus. A mock-up based on the descriptions of local residents sits behind the Kecksburg Volunteer Fire Department.

1. I saw a special on that incident

It was on SciFi channel. The conclusion was that the object was part of a Soviet satellite that had fallen, hence the secrecy.

2. I saw that as well.

It was hosted by Bryant Gumbel. The show's conclusion was a satellite, but there are many folks there who just won't believe that. Can't really blame them for being suspicious when, all these years later, the gubmint still won't say anything.
