Hi!!! I am new to the Carbondale area (2yrs) and keep hearing stories about a UFO crashing in Carbondale like 20 or 30 years ago. Older people have even told me that they remember when it happened and remember the government coming in in the dead of night and removing something very big down the streets of Carbondale!!! Did anyone ever hear of this and does anyone know the real story? Thanks, Lori

It was a waste of $22 Rick

Hey guys, I actually found a link to this Carbondale crash. It said it happened in 1974 around the Russell Park area. Intersting. The link is www.ufocrashes.com/carbondale. It also mentioned the one you were talking about near Pittsburgh. Give it a look and let me know what you think. Thanks so much. Lori

Lori, I remember this one. it was reported tht the light seen in the lake were from a big flashlight. They drained the lake irc. There was other activity around at the same time. Thousands reported a big slow moving light in the sky. I remember hearing a radio DJ talk about it. Some one claimed it was swamp gas or ball lighting.

That is really interesting about the bird. I have never heard of that. I would be running however, if I see a bird that large swooping down LOL!!! I hope it was not around here!!! I think I would do much better with aliens than with a giant bird!!!! LOL I read a little of the article about the C'dale crash and it gained nationwide attention. C'dale was a hot spot for crowds after it happened. I heard of the light in the pond. I also read that people saw a bright light that night as you stated Rick. It is just a little weird and interesting since I only live about 4 blocks from the apparent crash site!!!

I heard about the Carbondale UFO and I got different stories of what it was. In fact a friend of mine was there when this all was taken place.

Reading your posts in regards to Carbondale tells me two things. 1. One most of you are Young, and that's why you know nothing, of truth concerning that night ! 2. Also reminds me, and keeps reminding me, on how old i am, i just turned (60)
On the Evening of the event, i was a teen, living in Nanticoke, at my parents home. We heard on the radio, that a Ufo or a Satellite or Plane fell out of the sky in Carbondale. My Dad and i jumped into the car (1952 Plymouth) and drove to Carbondale. My Dad knew Carbondale, and we drove to a Baseball Diamond or recreation site at the edge of town, from there we had to walk thru the woods to get to the area a Pond..... we were walking thru the woods, and was turned back by National Guards men, Carrying Rifles....... We went back to where we parked the car, sat there for a while hundreds of local people showed up, people where told to go home, that a Railroad Latern was burning underwater in the pond !!! even then most people did not believe the story. Years later while i worked for the state of Pennsylvania, I meet a well known attorney from Carbondale, his daughter told me the rest of the story.... The national Guard or maybe the Regular Army came thru town with a tractor Trailer flat bed with a object on it from that direction with a large Tarp over something on that trailer. I also heard from another eye witness the same report saying that tractor-trailer went thru town at 1:55 a.m. so The Story of a UFO at Carbondale is true no followup or proof of that railroad lantern was ever given proof to or even proven that a gas powered latern could burn 6 hours under water in that pond... just another lie to cover up something. P.s. How did Keckberg get into this.... please look at Pennsylvania map, kecks berg is near Pittsburgh

I hope you guys enjoyed the post in regards to Carbondale. Now in regards to you guy's....... Gouldsboro state Park, many a fisherman, around 5:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. have seen ufo's up there ! A friend who worked with me, in Civil Service Saw a UFO flying ten feet above the lake, leaving a spary of water behind it. my friend stated he got out of there and took his son home. I asked what did it look like, he stated it was the size of a packmaster garbage truck and in the shape of a cube ! If you are into things like that go past the army depot, and measure 2.3 miles going east. Many home builders, have seen them late at night doing jobs. Most builders will work either if their behind, or having many jobs to finish. check the net with google type Pocono's and ufo's route 380

there were at least two major incidents here in PA:
Carbondale and Kecksburg. Spri had an investigation last year near Kecksburg and I bought the video report of the event. I thought the video was poor quality. I do video editing and I know I could have made the video more appealing.
Regarding the carbondale event. I was about 12 years old at the time, so of course my memory is just that--my memory. I did hear that a craft was pulled from the lake. the bottom line is that whatever happened is buried in faulty memories, and half truths. But that is the nature of UFO crashes.
