NASA Opens Kecksburg Docs
Sci Fi Channel
October 24, 2004

NASA has agreed to turn over documents relating to the alleged crash of a UFO 
in Kecksburg, Pa., in 1965, the SCI FI Channel announced. The news comes a day 
after SCI FI said it would pursue legal action against the National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration to release its records on the incident.

NASA informed Lee Helfrich, attorney for the Channel-sponsored Coalition for 
Freedom of Information, that it is releasing 36 pages of documents, the Channel 
said.

The release comes after 10 months of pursuing the records through the Freedom of 
Information Act. The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have yet to release 
any records under similar requests, the Channel said.

"For more than four months we have received no response from NASA, but one day 
after John Podesta, President Clinton's former chief of staff and member of the 
Moynihan Commission, and Bonnie Hammer, president of SCI FI Channel, called on 
government agencies to make public records that are over 25 years old, lo and 
behold, NASA responds," Helfrich said in a statement.

"I think it's fair to say that we have truly entered the realm of science fiction 
in Washington, D.C., when it's fair game to disclose the identity of a clandestine 
CIA agent, but not the records of an unexplained crash in Kecksburg, Pa., that 
occurred 38 years ago," Podesta said at a news conference this week.

On Dec. 9, 1965, witnesses described seeing a fireball in the sky, a controlled 
landing and the systematic military recovery of an object. The incident is the 
subject of the original SCI FI Channel documentary The New Rosell: Kecksburg 
Exposed, hosted by Bryant Gumbel, which premieres Oct. 24 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
