State's UFO story is still incomplete
People at the scene on that December night in 1965 didn't need much prompting to be curious. A detachment from the U.S. military didn't often show up at a woods fire in rural Kecksburg, or rural anywhere for that matter.
Soldiers cordoned off the site and not only refused to answer questions but, according to witnesses, threatened those who were persistent in seeking an answer. Sometime later, the military declared the object to be a meteor.
Today, spokesmen for NASA describe the fallen object as a failed Russian satellite that fell back into the atmosphere and began burning up before it landed.

I think the evidence is very convincing that this was indeed a Russian satellite. If I remember correctly, the trajectory of a falling Russian satellite would've placed it somewhere in the northeast or Canada (though i don't remember if there was some discrepancy over the day it came down). The markings were consistent with the cyrillic alphabet and even the described 'acorn' shape was that of the satellite that fell. The fact that the military lied about it initially is no surprise being in the midst of the cold war.
