Having a lot of relatives in this part of PA, I'm very familiar with this area. But, this area has had a long history of visitations from "out there" in space, and has become a localized hot-bed for ufologists. Starting with: http://www.debunker.com/Kecksburg.html The Kecksburg, Pennsylvania "UFO Crash" - actually the Great Lakes Fireball of December 9, 1965 -- then http://preview.tinyurl.com/np5xeor and http://preview.tinyurl.com/mx6hyv9 and just plain strange, http://www.strangeusa.com/Viewlocation.aspx?id=46764 http://preview.tinyurl.com/npq4m8a Waiting for word from the locals when the snow will start to melt.

NASA posted this animation from the meteor's perspective showing its trajectory as it raced towards western Pennsylvania."...
