Episode Synopsis
Strange Tides: Short Board Session – The Kecksburg UFOAloha Tide Riders and welcome to the first episode in our new episode style - the Shortboard Sessions. In this quick-hit episode, we skim across the basics of the 1965 Kecksburg case—an eerie fireball streaking over the Midwest, a mysterious acorn-shaped object in the woods, and a military response that locals still call a cover-up.We lay out the classic theories: stray Soviet or U.S. Cold War hardware, a misidentified meteor, or something far stranger that never made it into any official report. And we look at how Kecksburg transformed from a one-night anomaly into a full-blown legend, complete with TV reenactments, documentaries, and a festival that keeps the mystery alive.Short, sharp, and packed with the weird essentials—grab your board and let’s carve through Pennsylvania’s most enduring cosmic whodunit.SOURCES/LINKS:https://www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/News_Items-3.htmlhttps://www.setiusa.us/archive/index.php/t-6134.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kecksburg_UFO_incidenthttps://arxiv.org/abs/1702.03968https://unsolved.com/gallery/kecksburg-ufo/https://www.infinityexplorers.com/kecksburg-ufo-crash-1965/https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/htm/kecksburg65.htm- Chamberlain, V.D., & Krause, D.J.
